The people Of the United States are
facing the menace of war on every
hand, from every point Of the COM
pass.
We are having diplomatic troubles
with England, and Canada is to our
north We are at the breaking point
with Germany to the east. Mexico is
a thorn in our flesh to the south, and
now comes Japna as a possible and
dangerous adversary to the west.
From every point of the compass!
And yet there is an even greater
menace to the future of our country
right within the circle of the COM
pass itself-within our own borders
and among our own people.
That menace is the hyphen.
Englishmen, Frenchmen, Germans,
Austrians, Italians, Russians, Serb
ians, men who sprang from every ma
tionality are forgetting their Amer
lean citizenship and violently es-
pousing the cause of one nation or
another in the unhappy strife which
is destroying our neighbors across the
water.
Men who came from other coun-
tries to escape oppression and sought
asylum in our land of freedom are
denouncing our own government and
our government because we as a ma
ton do not champion the cause of the
particular country from whence they
came. This condition is not con-
fined to the people from any one ma
tionality. 1t exists wherever a for
eign tongue is spoken-mildly in
some instances, insanely rabid in
others.
A man is either loyal to his coun-
try or he is not. If he enjoys the
blessings of American citizenship and
the protection of the American flag
the least he can do is to respect his
flag and his country and demonstrate
his loyalty by his acts.
Carrying a hyphen around on one
shoulder and a chip on the other
is anything but an evidence Of loyal
ty to this country.
We are a nation made up of the
people of many tongues. The very
nature of this admixture Of nation
alities, collectively constituting a
great and rich and powerful nation,
becomes at once it's greatest and most
serious menace.
A people may stand and flourish
only as they remain loyal one to the
other and all to common flag. d.
vided they become mass Of snarling,
pickering, fighting factions, each bent
upon the destruction or elimination
of the other.
And the hyphen is producing this
disastrous effect in America today.
But it is not yet too late to pause
and take stock of ourselves and of
the position in which we are placing
our common Countrywide place we
know as home, and which feeds us,
and clothes us, and provides us with
the luxuries and pleasures of life.
Let European monarchs and Euro
pean peoples fight their own battles.
Our business and our duty is to
consider only our own individual in

The politician who makes a ia
nous speech that rings around the
world becomes a great man and
breaks into history. But the farmer
who raises the biggest potato and the
cleanest wheat is a boon to humanity
and history never hears of him. And
yet we claim to be just and impair
tial people.
A tall woman always has a real
advantage over a short man. She
can invariably make him look up to

Many Boys in Contest.

Between G5 and 70 boys are busy
now in the manual training depart
ment of the Webster City schools
making birdhouses for the birdhouse
contest put on by Cash & Lehnhard
two weeks ago. Prof. Conlee, super
intendent of manual training. says
he never saw more enthusiasm over
a contest than the boys are now ex.
phibiting. He has also received nc
less than six inquiries from Iowa
towns concerning the birdhouse con-
test as printed in the Freeman-Trib.
une. Other towns are catching the
spirit and next spring will see many
contests of this nature. Everyone
contemplating buying birdhouse is
urged to wait until April 9Th and
buy the products Of the boys hands
instead of sending away for these
bird homes. The boys are going to
put price upon their handiwork
and it will be as reasonable as they
can afford to make ct. None of the
towns of the county or the country
schools, who will undoubtedly joir
in the contest, have yet been heard
from.
