Author Redemption Of David Corson

The heart of every patriot must
have stood still, for moment, when
the news appeared that our govern
ment had warned contending nations
that it would call them to rigid ac.
counting for any injury done our neu-
trail vessels
Much as we shrink from being
drawn into the maelstrom of this
war, we realize that there are certain
injustices and insults that we cannot
possibly endure There are rights
too sacred to be trihed with in indi-
vidual and in public life. No man, for
example, will let another impugn the
virtue of his mother. Neither will he
permit his autograph to be juggled
with. If the world is to use our
names with impunity, we must cry
Hands off; those signatures are sa
cred!" This law holds good about
our flag, the symbol of our national
life and character If it is to be de-
graded by every selfish advertiser to
sell his wares; or insulted by any an.
archist who hates our laws; or
hoisted to the masthead of every ship
that wants to escape foe or sink
hostile vessel, it will soon lose all it's
sacredness in our eyes and in those
of everybody else. To maintain
the dignity of this sacred symbol of
our national existence may involve
us in perplexity, in suffering and even
in war; but the obligation cannot be
evaded. 1t must retain its sacredness
in our eyes and the eyes of the world
in order that our self-respect may re-
tain its integrity. To permit it to be
trampled in the dust without remon-
STRANGE is to lose that feeling of rev
erence for our larger self, the Ma
ton, which is the source of all true pa
triotic sentiment. Up to that star
spangled banner we must look up with |
such awe as We feel when gazing at |
he stars, or sink into race of pol |
rooms and towards.
Such is the law of national being. |
We did not make that law; we can
1ot change that law. 1t is the decree |
If Heaven that our deepest feelings
should be symbolized by some ma
erial sign. BY our passion for it we
nay measure the depth of our love
or our institutions. and our existence
Is a corporate being. 1t may seem,

Helen stopped. She had never be-

was glad she had.
Carrie looked at her aghast. She
put on her hat and coat, and quickly
gathered up her furs.

Helen was disappointed. She had
long wanted to go to the play, and,
too, she hadn't seen Louise for two

afternoon with her. However, she

she would do. She was just in the
mood for a play. Saturday was such
a bad day to find any one who did
not have an engagement. She thought
of Carrie. The last time she had seen

time since she had asked Warren's

she had better ask her.
