We look with much respect upon the
old soldier who fought for his country
in years gone by we cheer to the echo
for "old glory" and feel that we are pa
triotic when we drop handful of flow
ers on a soldiers grave Decoration Day,
but William Allen White says, IF we
who live in small towns in America
cannot see that our duty to our country
lies first of all in our duty to our neigh
bors, then we are blind indeed TO the ba-
sis of all patriotism.
Patriotism is not in cheering for the
flag; il is not in feeling our eyes fill
with emotional tears at hearing the Star
Spangled Banner" patriotism is just the
old-fashioned human duty. For the flag
if it means anything, means friendly bur
den-bearing, mutual help in trouble; it
means standing together against com
mon foep The real patriots of the ma
ton are doing valiant service against
the coumon foes-the legalized liquor
traffic, concentrating vice, etc With
out boastful declaration of their love
for country" they have met the enemies
Of the home at the polls and with bal
lots plenty" have vanquished them.
