SYMBOLS OF PATRIOTISM.
(Chicago .Tri.bune.l

1t is always painful to army-train-
ed men to attend public functions at
which civilians attempt to perform
the rites of patriotism. They do it
so badly and display such abysmal
ignorance. 1t is commonplace
that half the people think America
is the national anthem and that not
one person in ten can get through
the first verse of the Star Spangled
Banner. And the proprieties of the
flag are never realized by civilian
gatherings. The American flag should
be carried at the head of the column
or at the right of the line.
All these deficiencies, argues the
good citizen, make no difference.
These things are mere symbols of
patriotism, and so long as the heart
beats true, a breach of etiquette or a
faulty memory is of little account.
There is the feeling. too. that flags
and anthems and all the outward
displays are somehow unscientific
and irrational. that they should be
consigned 10 the attic where all such
anachronous rubbish is stored. And
they bring up their children without
regard to these symbols of national
ism.
As a matter of fact, patriotism is
too complex a thing TO be treated
except in symbols Their disuse
does not indicate a superior intelli-
gence, but simply a lack of patriot
ism.

criticised the doctor who recon-
mends narcotics as palliatives for

Courier-Journal. This is by no means
the first protest which has been made
against a practice Of some members
of the medical profession which has
proven source OF more injury,
misery. sorrow and humiliation than
the general public has suspected. II
is strange that the prevalence OF a
practice so menacing TO the health
and well-being of a large percentage
Of persons has not resulted in some

Of drug addictiOns. 1t must be ad-
mitted. however. that after making
due allowance for such false con-
Itention, and also eliminating from
consideration cases in which the ad-
ministration of narcotics, even to the
extent Of the inevitable formation of
the drug habit in the patient, is
necessary 10 the preservation of his
life, there remain all too many in
stances of which the physician,
through negligence or ignorance, is
guilty Of unnecessarily administering
narcotics resulting in a habit the
most destructive of all that is most
noble, elevating. lovable and true in
normal persons.
Illuminating though the confession
may be. it is nevertheless lament
able fact that the family which has
not in its immediate circle or its near
relationship some individual addicted
to the drug habit comes nearer be-
| ing an exception than the rule. There
are many such unfortunates un-

public, for the reason that their fam

as is possible, the sorrow which af-
fiicts them. From the testimony of

evident that a great majority Of vic

all testify. or be willing TO, that we
have stopped colds by catching them
in time. Which are we TO accept,
medical authority or personal ex-
perience?
