LOYALTY WITHOUT WIND.

True loyalty does not consist of get
ting out in public and shouting to the
winds Of the glories of u country
and how we can lick the world with
our hands tied behind US.
We have a few such patriots" but
they have never set the world afire
and we never expect to see them fight
ing for their country. When bullets
are singing and shells are shrieking
such patriots" are usually found in
dustriously fishing in financial waters
far 70 the real
What we need is patriotism that
impels a mar to love his country for
what it is and for what it has done
for himself and for the rest of man
kind. When a man is imbued with
this brand of loyalty he will give even
life itself for his country when the
need arises, and he will have no self
plaudits to hurl at his fellow men in
glorification of his own acts. He will
not dispense wind.
We have many just such true pa
triots right in our W midst, but
they are quietly pursuing their daily
routine, hoping and praying that the
government may steer the ship of
state safely through the troublous va
tiers without loss of honor or dignity.
Today they are simply loyal citizens
of the republic. Tomorrow they may
be heroes who have fought and died
for their country.
Who knows?

The national campaign is well I'M
der way, but because of the universal
interest in the border situation many
people are giving the respective can
didates scarcely a passing thought.
Newspapers are RELOCATING them and
their doings to the inside pages, while
the full force of the limelight is To-
cused upon Mexico and the troops on
our own side, of the border. 1t is
hard for the politicians, but the peo-
pie, no doubt, will live through the
distressing ordeal without loss Of
sleep or flesh.

A FELLOW AND HIS LODGE.

Some people are lodge crazy and
join everything in sight. They are
called %"joiners." Others are pessim-
istic and can see no good in any lodge.
But there is much good to be de-
rived from membership in any of the
legitimate lodges that flourish every
where, provided the lodge habit is not
carried to excess.
1t creates "a spirit of comradeship
among the members that is seldom
found elsewhere. If a member is in
distress or difficulty, his lodge prompt
ly comes to his relief and tides him
owe the rough places and into smoo-
Their waters, If he is sick, they
cheer him with their presence, and
watch at his bedside, and see that his
family does not suffer during his in
capacity. And in many other ways
they are a distinct benefit one to an
other.
The lodge is a symbol of the broth
erhood of man, and its tenets are foun-
ded upon the Bible and advocate the
elevation of the human race.
The fellow who Identifies himself
with some good lodge and lives up to
its teachings will be a better man and
citizen for the few hours he devotes
to its meetings.

COMING TO THE 0

No matter what our beliefs may be
in the matter of woman's suffrage,
candor compels the admission that the
feminine cause is making strides to-
ward the ultimate achievement of
their goal.
A few years-ago the mere idea of a
oma voting met with ridicule upon
every hand. 1t raj considered a
dream and a joke.
Today, however, every party has
it's strong and powerful defenders OF
,woman's right to the franchise, and
neither party cares to risk going radi-
cally on record against it.
Politicians everywhere concede Q
little and automatically slide over the
rest. Many hundreds of them dreac
to be placed upon record as i%rrevoca-
bly, opposed to suffrage for women
Those who believe in the cause Of
woman should take heart. 1t is NOV.
ing along, and the pace is by nc
means slow.

1t is surprising how quickly a per-
son can lose interest in a subject that
has been uppermost in their minds
for a year or more Since the Euro
pean war commenced it has been the
one great topic of conversation and
speculation the world over Now, SO
far as we of the United States are
concerned, it is a back number, SHOW
ed off the map, practically forgotten.
Our own little clothes line affair with
Mexico is the all absorbing object be-
fore the public eye and in the public
mind, and just at this time a sick
mule on the border is of more impor-
lance to us than the outcome of any
of the innumerable clashes across the
water. Patriotism should and does
begin at home.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1916-07-15

Have you noticed the peculiarities
beneath the surface in the mobiliza-
ton of the National Guard of the
United States and its dispatch to the
border? Serving in the ranks of
many of the organizations are mil
~lionaires from the highest social and
financial families. In the same COM
mands are janitors, farmers, clerks,
and common laborers, all good men
and true. Each is serving his coun-
try to the best of his ability, but the
most noticeable feature is the fact
that social caste is utterly unknown.
The millionaire and the laborer groom
their horses or dig bitches side by
side and joke as though they had
been fast friends all of their lives.
They are comrades in a common cause
and as comrades they think, act and
do.

Patriotism is in the air these days,
and it extends from one end of the
country to the other, and embraces
all classes of citizens from the mil
l~ionaire to the pauper. That is pa
triotism to ones flag and country.
But there is still another kind of pa
triotism that is of quite as great i'm
portance but is not so generally OBJ
served. That is patriotism to the
home town, to the schools, the
churches, the lodges, the business men,
in fact, to everything that pertains
to the home life. The more prosper
Gus the home communities of the
country, the greater is the power of
the country as a single unit. The
mar who exerts his influence in be-
half of his home town uses as great
a brand of patriotism as the one who
mounts a platform and starts the ca
gle to screaming. AS a matter of
fact, there'is no comparison between
the two, for in nine cases out of ten
actions speak louder than words. Pa
triotism to country is ~commendable,
but that to both home and country is
even better.

We might devote some space to the
glorious women of P|leasantville. But
what man really knows anything
about a woman? Who can analyze
the minds that have baffed US mas
culine worms since the days of Adam?
We can't-no man can. We look
around US and we see evidences of
sweetness and gentleness on every
hand. We feel the refining and ele-
waiting influence of the good women
with whom we ONE in daily contact,
and our lives are the brighter and
the sweeter for their presence. And
then our dreams are suddenly dis
turbed by reading of one of those
rare exceptions where a woman has
raised more confusion in a minute
than mere mar can smooth over in a
lifetime of effort. No, we can't dis
course learnedly on women The
subject is too deep for US, and we pass
it up. But not until we have remark
ed that this community is peculiarly
and signally blessed in the quality of
its women-bless the dear things.

If there are any old bachelors in
this community who are unable to
annex a wife they should take heart
and buck up. There is still hope even
for them. During the next few years
Europe will be almost destitute Of
suitable material for husbands, and
fair damsels will be pining their lives
away for the mates that never come.
Just keep up heart for a time, fell
lows, and if nothing better turns up,
you can take a trip abroad and an
mex a dozen or two.

All, a scheme! Perhaps some of
you have a subject or two up your
sleeves. Just come around and get
out this rag for n issue. We need
a rest. Our brain needs a rest. Ev-
erything about us is in need of a rest.
Let US it in advance, so ev-
eryone will want a copy, and the mer-
chants will all want ads in it, and
then perhaps we can rake in enough
pennies to sport a new hat all by our
self. It's a good scheme. We like it,
and it ought to take. The more there
are of you the better it will take.
Think it over, and don't stop at think
ing. Do something, for We want a

PRESIDENTIAL POINTERS

In 1920 came during the So
called EZRA Of good feeling" Five
new states took part, making
"a altogether, with 235 electoral
votes. President Monroe had no
opposition and received every
electoral vote but one, that of a
New Hampshire elector, who
cast his vote for John Quincy
Adams. Three electors died be-
tween the general election and
the meeting of the electors.
Vice President Tompkins was re-
elected, receiving 218 of the 232
votes cast.
