LOYALTY WITHOUT WIND

True loyalty doe snot consist OF
getting out In public and shoutIn to
the winds OF the glories OF our coun-
try and how we can lick the world
with our handi lied behind us.
We have few such patriots. but
they have never set the world anre
and we never expect TO see them fight
ing for their country. when bullets
are singing and shells are shrieking
such patriots" are usually founl In
dustrously fishing In financial waters
far TO the rear.
What we need is patriotisia that
impels a man TO love his country for
what II Is and for what II has done
for himself and for the rest Of man
kind. When IA man Is imbued with
this brand OF loyalty he viii give ov-
en- life itself for his country wacn
the need arises, and he will have no
self plaudlts TO hurl at his fellow men
in glorineation OF his own acts lie
will not dispense wind.
We have many Just such irne pat
riots right in our own midst. but
they are quietly pursuing their lally
routine, hoping and praying that the
government may steer the ship OF
state safely through the troubulous
waters without loss OF honor or dig
nifty.
Today they are simply loyal clti-
zens OF the republic. Tomorrow they
may be heroes who have fought and
died for their country.
Who knows?

PATRIOTISM


A nation is made great, not by its
fruitful acres, but by the men Who
cultivate them; not by its great for
ests, but by the men who use them;
not by its mines, but by the men who
work in them; not by its railways.
but by the men who build and run
them. America was a great land
when Columbus discovered II; Amer
leans have made OF il great nation.
In 1776 our fathers had vision
of new Nation conceived in liber-

that all men are created equal"
Without an army they fought the
greatest of existing world empires
that they might realize this vision, A
third OF century later, without a
navy they fought the greatest navy
in the world that they might win for
their Nation the freedom of the seas
Half a century later they fought

HIGH SCHOOL NEWSY NOTES.

The High school Literary Society
held their regular three weeks enter
tainment last Friday afternoon and
though the program was not as long
as usual yet the numbers given we're
much appreciated and the parents
present were well pleased with 1t.
The reason for the few numbers was
that so many of the boys originally
scheduled to take part were in Rupert
for the basket ball game.
The High School Cadet Corps start
ed their drill work Tuesday evening
and Judging from the enthusiasm
with which they are taking it up
the remainder of the season will be a
great success. The Company is in
better form than was expected and
compare very favorably with the Ida

WE NEED A MAN.

The reason why so many of us fail
to achieve greater success in life
Is because we do not exert the nee
sary will power to accomplish more
definite results.
Look over the people of this town.
Study their habits, their speech, and
their accomplishments You will find
many of them who undoubtedly pos
sess an enormous reserve of will
power. Their every word and action
indicates as much. But there is
perceptible disposition TO hesitate
which prevents the bringing of that
reserve force actively into play. The
natural result is that they are only
moderately successful when they
should be rising to great heights.
In this our people are in no re-
spect different from those OF other
climes. II Is trait OF human ma
ture and will survive until the end of
the human race.
Occasionally we read or hear OF
some great man who began life In an
humble way. II you could look down
deep into the soul OF that man you
would see that he Ia just human

quered the retarder. hesitancy, and

ceiyes an opportunity and his will
and determination force him TO grasp
II. The result is success. The world
hears OF him while the rest OF us live
and die In the peaceful obscurlty OF
our own little circles.
There are those among us who
have in them the making OF men and
women OF national note, but hesitan-
oy dogs their steps. Their acute /
minds see the opportunities ahead OF |
them, but hesitanoy whispers TO them .

This town is oyerhowlng with

As community we need an awak-

Dalton Diggs has an announcement
in another column as a candidate for
nomination as Circuit Judge on the
democratic ticket. There does not
seem to be any opposition TO the
Judge for this position, II being con-
cedsd that he has made an excellent
officer and is entitled TO another term
in the service. Many voters believe
that the courts should be kept out of
partisanship and this has much TO do
with the lack of opposition. The posi-
tion OF Circuit Judge is an important
one and now that we have a good one.
it would seem to be good judgment
to keep him, even II he is a democrat.

PENN HAS ENGAGED
LAWSON ROBERTSON
Trainer Of Irish American
Athletes Will Receive
a Big Salary.

PHILADELPHIA. June 17--Lawsor
Robertson was engaged yesterday as
coach Of the University of Pennsyl-
vania track team for the term OF one
year. The inducement offered IL one OF
the largest ever made to a track coach
In this country. and the trainer OF the
Irish American A. C. Immediately signed
the contract.
Robertson came to Philadelphia for a
tryout directly after the relay NEE. and
his work I'm fitting the men for the re-
cent intercolleg;ates was greatly appre-
ciated by the members Of the athletic
committee. The form shown by Mere
dith was largely attributed TO the In
struction OF Robertson. and several other
members Of the leam also showed similar
improvement.
The new trainer Is a practical athlete
in every way and In his day was a
champion Splinter. a Jumper Of ability
and a good all around man. He won
many prizes for the Irish American A.
c. and after he became trainer Of that
organization IL was seldom that the
wearers OF the winged nst were beaten
in championship meetings.
When the American Olympic team
went to Stockholm Robertson went along.
as the many Irish American men on
the team were anxious to have his ad.
vice. Owing to the illness OF Mike MUIR
ply on that trip most OF the work Of
preparing the whole team for the Olym-
pics fell or Robertson and II was on
that trip that he gained the confidence
OF Ted Meredith. the Pennsylvania star.
Robertson probably will train the
football candidates as we'll as the ath-
letes.
