ARE YOU A PoRcuPiNE


If you meet your neighbor and he
asks you If you are a porcupine. say
yes"
The Loyal Order Of Porcupines Is
new movement just inaugurated In
California by the Hon, Lyman j.
Gage, former secretary of the Treasury.
There is no mystery, no initiation
fee, and no ceremony. and yet 1t
has caught the public fancy and il
growing by leaps and bounds. and Ia
spreading all over the country
wherever people live who are loyal
to our country and it's flag.
The porcupine Is the only animal
that never bites any one and yet Ia
never bitten. Its myriad quilts are
Its protection, and all other animals
give 1t wide berth.
Mr.. Gage would have the United
States In the position Of the porcu'
pine. He would have us SO surrounded
and girded by quilts of defense that
no foreign nation would care to In.
wade our peaceful shores.
He would not have q great stand
ing army, nor would he have US bris
tie with the cruise of aggressive mill
tarism; but he would have every 10Y
al citizen possess the rudiments Cd
of military knowledge, that when the
time comes we may be In a position
to hurl the invader into the seas and
give adequate protection to our
homes and our wealth.
Like the porcupine, we are a peace
loving people, and ask only to be
left alone to pursue our honorable
course to the end.
Are you a porcupine? Say "yes!"
