IA off you love your country, you will
show il" said Mr.. Hubbard, "and in
such a name that there will be no
doubt Of it. You can Z beat your wife
and dishonor and mistreat your chill
dren and be a patriot, no matter how
hard you may try. 1t will be IKE tne
man who is telling a lie-you will let
your eyes wander to the ground before
making an answer, and so such a man
will betray his real sentiments when he
attempts to tell you that he is a patriot.
If YOU are a brute you cannot love
your country.
..Let your country be your whole
aim, and you can show this in no way
better than by showing your love for
your fellow man. This is an element in
patriotism, l care not if that man be a
Jap, a Chinaman or a Republican.
81 place before all others that most
perfect patriot in the world, in any
untry-mother- who tolls day in and
day out, hour in AMI hour out, and
knows but that one thought, How shall
] make my boys and girls the bestf'
The father who teaches his boys Alright,
and who casts his vote according as his
conscience, is entitled to the honor of
the entire country as one of the great
est of its patriots though he may never
shoulder a musket nor lead a charge
in battle.o
Judge Hubbard's sentiments with re-
gard to the mothers of the country
made an impression upon the large au-
dience which manifested itself in sub
dued but generous applause and his en-
tire speech was received with the honor
BETTING such a delicate and beautiful
address.
Joe Hutchinson Talks.
Joseph H. Hutchinson took as his
theme "a Few Flag Heroes and for
over a half hour kept his auditors
thrilled and transported with the most
eloquent address delivered from a local
platform for a long time. The address
contained historical references n data
of value, tracing the noble achieve
ments of the many heroes from the be-
| ginning of the republic. He pointed
out at what great cost liberty had
been won and through what sacrifices
it had been preserved to the present
generation. The address was lengthy
and so constructed that it would be an
injustice to the speaker to attempt a
! short review, and lack of space only
prevents a reproduction of the entire
address.
.The question for us to consider
he said, .'is, are we true to the teach
ings of our forefathers; do we remem-
Der the lessons taught by the hard
ships and struggles of '76i Has the
spirit of liberty come down through
the sons and daughters of the revolu.
ton, or do to the Stars and Stripes now
represent tyranny and oppression. And
is liberty deadf
"Is liberty dead? You all know it
never was as much alive as it is now.
Does our flag represent tyranny and
oppression? Ask our patriotic women
Ask the women of America. Ask them
who met our boys at every station
across the continent; blessed the stran.
ger soldier with her words of cheer and
kindly smile. Ask the mother who has
lost a son; ask the wife who has lost a
husband.'
Mr.. Hutchinson reverted in stirring
words to the story of the many heroes
who have taken part in the history OF
the United States, dwelling upon them
lovingly, from George Washington at
Valley Forge to Admiral Dewey in the
battle Of Manila and Schley and Samp-
son at the naval battle of Santiago.
Before closing he paid a beautiful tri5-
ute to William Jennings Bryan and to
Governor Dickerson.
Putnam Pays Tribute.
Key Pittman, one of the Democrats
who is an attorney of Tonopah, was
next called upon for an address.
cit is unnecessary to say that | be.
Ilieve Nye county is the greatest Demo-
cratic county in the state, with the sin
gle exception of Esmeralda county, he
said. Therefore as one of the Demo-
Gratis of Nye county, l say that the
object of this meeting is to properly
honor the flag, and | see no reason why
any patriotic party might not meet on
this occasion for the purpose of doing

Mr.. Pittman then paid a handsome
compliment to the personnel of the
!, Democracy of Nevada at the present
: time. He said that the people of thS
country are now divided into two
classes-those who are attempting tc
use politics for their own ~aggrandize'
ment and those who are working for
the entire country s good, and that the
Democrats make up the party hat has
attempted to preserve the American
flag under the constitution of the Unit
ed States. Al the close of his address
he proposed three cheers for Governor
