shouters; of turn the other cheek
diplomats and disciples of beIliger-
ency, one is apt to become confused
as to what is patriotic duty, if one
doesn't even become added in try
ing to'defne what is a patriot.
Since history has been writ, ma
tons imbued with a high spirit of
patriotism have been nations which
have made great accomplishments
not war accomplishments, necessar-
lily, but great things in political, in
dustrial, scientific and humanitarian
endeaVor
When patriotism dies a nation will
perish unless permitted 70 live to

purpose of another nation.
do not define a patriot as being
one who wants to go to war without
regard to the righteousness of cause
any more than l agree with the Trib-
une that: "Our country! our
country, right or wrong" even
though Decatur, who said it, was a
man of intense love Of country.
But l do believe in love of flag, in
love of national honor. 1 do not be-
lieve in war that has no just cause;
abhor the thought of war, but, if it
becomes necessary to the defense of
our national honor, then let us fight
until the blood of the last patriot
sinks into the ground to atone for
the crime against honor.

thinks it is an outrage" to have
been indicted by an Ohio grand jury!
l suppose the outrage" refers par
ticuIarly to the charge 'of having
conspired to keep down the wages
of common laborers." So far as l
know this is the first indictment Of
a capitalist on this charge in a long
time.
1t is indeed a gross outrage" for
a great financier to be indicted thus,
for his very wealth rests on such a
conspiracy" Underpaid common la
Dor is the keystone to our great for

of incentive" if accommodating
wealth by paying poverty wages and
keeping those wages to level of
mere animal existence should be
made a crime?

of bird life is happening now in the fro

of trees are sealed under a sheet OF

cannot pierce. A great many birds

should be food for the starving birds.
Some suet tied to the tree branches:

many birds life. "He prayeth best
who loveth best both bird and beast
