A TEST OF PATRIOTISM
TO SUPPORT PRESIDENT
WITH LIFE AND PROPERTY.
Mailed to Dawson by Theodore Price,
to Mr.. o. +. Lowe. but SignerS
Were Scarce.

NNIG
Mr.. o. E. Lowe, the we'll known
cotton buyer, has received copies of
a pledge to be signed by patriotic
citizens of Dawson, pledging indy
ing loyalty to the president and the
flag in case of war with Germany
Among other things it pledges the
signers to support the president and
the flag with property and life if
necessary. These pledges were sent
throughout the country by the TheO-
rode Price cotton concern, of New
York.
After receiving the pledges of pa
triotism, Mr.. Lowe pondered over it
for a whole day and decided that he
himself could not sign it, and as ne
lacked such undying patriotism HIM
self he could not afford to ask others
to sign away their life and property
he therefore turned the documents
over to Judge Gardner, who said he
would start the list off with his good
friends John Lowrey and Postmaster
Cheatham, because they were so lean
a bullet could not hit them, and the
judge has been so busy trying to get
his ticket headed that he has made
no more progress with it than did
Mr.. Lowe, and as he has passed the
age for military duty it is feared the
petition will not even have one sigma
ture.
This is no sign that patriotism is
at low ebb in Dawson, never, the
boys are just so busy trying to re-
cover from the effects of the panic
that they have no time to go to the
war, and then, too, they might miss
some Of the base ball games and the
bathing pool and fishing parties this
summer. The fellows here are all
too good natured to fight anybody.
