PATRIOTISM NOT
STRONG ENOUGH
Only Handful Of People go to Thea
tire and Meeting is Called off
by Mayor Elder.

With drum corps vainly endeavor-
ing to attract a crowd to the Flag Day
exercises in the Grand theatre, this
afternoon and the speakers all ready
to go ahead with their part of the pro-
gram, it was decided by majority OF
the audience, which consisted of about
fifteen persons, to call off the pro-
gram.
Mayor Elder, as presiding officer OF
the meeting, in short talk to the
audience, told them that owing to an
evident misunderstanding as to the
place where the exercises would be
held and the unsettled weather it had
been decided to call the meeting off
On an occasion of this kind, said the
mayer, the dignity Of full attendance
should be given and that therefore II
would not be of any benefit to go on
with the program.
e. w. McManus. who was to make
the address of the afternoon, and 9th
er speakers and the musicians were
perfectly willing to go on and carry
out their part of the program rather
than disappoint any of the small aud
fence but it was thought best by all
to call the meeting off.

Among the forces and institutions whose evil

thousands, and it has created it's hundreds of thou

Liquor is not the only foe of that which is good,
but it is the mghtiest and ugiest, the most

encompass the elimination of other foes that assail
the peace prosperity and happiness of this nation Let
there be intelligent study of eugenics; let settlement

science seek out how annhlate contagious and in

Greatest Problem of the Century

What is the greatest problem of this century? To
what should those who love America whose highest
wish is for her best good devote their energies and lift
up their prayers? The problem that being solved
not peculiar to this age and this land-it has existed
in all times and all nations. But peculiar and partic-
ular emphasis is being given to in these days of in
tegent progress.
That which is needed far more than anything else
that to which all effort and thought should be di
rected is the problem of the laggard, the mentally,
morally and physically unfit. How either to eliminate
the laggard or to make him fit is engaging the
attention Of Of the most earnest and capable
and women Of the age.
The doctrine of the survival of the fttest is re-
pugnant to Our religious notions and finer sensi
bites. We think, without conjunction, of the
Strengthening Of CATTLE horses hogs and the replacing
of the slaughtered animals with other fit in order
that the general breed may be improved. No live
stock raiser hesitates to put his inferior stock to meat
purposes to get rid of it in some other way if he
is DESTROYS of maintaining improving the standard
of his flock or herd But there is revulson if one
suggests that we should get rid of the human being
who is unfit and thus the survival of the itest is
phrase which has attraction for us.
It is fact, however, that the fttest do survive.
Those less fit cucumber and hinder for time, but
finally give place 1t is possible, however, to allow the
unfit so accumulate and to permit the which
lead their untness to rule that the whole stock
becomes degenerate and dies out
The Anglo-Saxon stock is the best improved,
hardest and fttest Constituent members of this great
family have pride in the knowledge of their superior
ity. But among Anglo-Saxon we'll as among those
types of not high quality, there thousands OF
laggards, thousands who lack fitness Is their num-
Der ncreasng? Some alarming statistics would seem
~ indicate this DoSshi1itv
There many forces working toward the de-
sruction of not only the AngloSaxons but of other
race types also Were these forces unrestrained and
always triumphant there could be hope of preserv
ing the race from ultimate annihation But to offset
this destruction there saving and constructive
forces busiy engaged every day. Which is to have the
mastery? The optimist steadasty believes that the
forces of good gaining, although it may be slowly
Despite hindrances and backsets it must be true that
progress is being made
If then, deficient types not to be eliminated,
then they must be improved, and this is the work OF
