man Fowler.)
The flag represents whatever con-
stitutes the nation. The flag of q
nation symbolizes its characteristics
1t in no way suggests government,
whether kingdom, an empire, or a
republic; for government is only the
temporary garment of the people who
constitute the nation. Parties may
come, and parties may go; kingdoms
change to empires and empires in turn
are forerunners of republic; but the
flag Of nation may persist through
a revolution of successive changes,
always remaining the emblem of the
soul of nation--the emblem of ma
tionality
We lift our eyes to the flag of the
American people-the American ma
tion--and behold its beauty with such
emotions as spring from comprehen-
sion of its true significance.
1t typifies the citizen. 1t typifes or
gained society. 1t typifies all social
forces resulting in the organic life of
the people, which is the composite of
the character of one hundred millions
of freemen.
The flag cannot signify more than
the average and aggregate of all.
But above and beyond all else may
this flag symbolic, in the coming
time, the genuine and true in contrast |
with the spurious and fraudulent.
If it floats over shoe shop may
it suggest good leather and the best
workmanship. If it finds a place over
the builders quarters may it signify
good material and honest carpentry.
If it hangs from the window Of a fac
tory may every employee be inspired
to faithful service, and every employer
to genuine sympathy for his fellows
and the noble purpose of co-opera-
ton. If men make it means of
calling attention to their wares may it
be a guarantee of quality and not a
mere herald of quantity.
If it is borne into distant chimes
by an American merchant may it sig
Nifty everywhere and always the ster-
ling character of the goods in the
holds of the ships, until the entire
world shall take our products as the
standard by which all others are
judged-the test and tombstone be-
ing the interrogatory; as it as good
as the American"
If it should decorate the office of
the physician or the lawyer may it
serve to exalt the ideals of both and l
lead them to a genuine and sincere
service to mankind. {
If any social order should select
the flag as its emblem, may it SYM I
bolize for it those virtues upon which
the stability of society rests: charity, Q
justice, brotherhood and fidelity.
If it is to be sustained by the flag i
stats over thousand municipal
buildings may it soon come to stand c
for economy, efficiency and honesty
If it crowns the domes of our state C
capitols, may it bespeak intelligence v
courage and patriotism
If it continues to float over our pub i
lie schools, may it ever be guar o
antee that from generation to genera n
ton to the end of time, better, wiser a
and Drawer men and women are going i
out from their doors into world that T
will be made little better just ID
little better-because its influence has I
into their lives, and the flag, |
in turn, be made little richer and S
rendered more significant because
their spirits have visited this earth, G

The trouble with Springfield is

Mr.. Beavers believes, as the
Herald has been saying for the
past two years. that Baca coun-
ty ought to become great dali
rying camp, and that when it
does it will become one of the
wealthiest and most prosperous
agricultural counties in the state,
as it has the best laying land
and the richest soil to be found
within the states domains.

py vein, and was roundly ap-
plauded at its close.
Atty Alberti made one of the
best speeches he had up to that
time fired into a Springfield au-
diepce. Although the last on

nj orous sketches, and heartily
applauded at the close of the re-
marks.
The recitation of Miss Mary
Wheeler was the hit Of the day.
Miss Wheeler is an entertainer,
and whether her readings are
pathetic OF numerous, she al
ways receives an encore.
The recitation on the 4Uh was
numerous, and the applause
frequent and hearty. At the
close she responded to an encore
with a short skit that convulsed
the house with laughter.
Miss Wheeler is a niece of C.
F. Wheeler of Villas. She came
here in May from Pittsburg,
Kans.. and expects to teach
school in the county this winter.

house. Her father, Atty Fred
Wheeler of Pittsburg, Kans.. has
been out here a few times on a
visit. Miss Wheeler expects to
remain in Baca couple of years,
and may be all the tine.
The forenoon program was
pronounced grand success.

Congressman KGatinr's Letter

Congressman KeatinQs Letter
Before this letter is printed
the congress OF the United States
may have declared war on the
republic OF Mexico, tut l Go not
expect such action.
1 do not believe we are going
to make war on our southern
neighbor. II we do it will he
Carranza's fault, because presi-
dent Wilson is prepared TO max.
every reasonable ard honorable
concession to maintain peace.
The great man in the White
Hous, has never shown to bet.
ter advantage thar during the
last few wee ks. He has dis
played tireless patience in all
his dealings with our southern
neighbors, hut he has firmly in-
sisted that American lives and
interests must not be further
jeopardized.
{! Trouble Makers On This Side
I His task would have been an
easy one had it not been for war
plots on this side of the Rio
Grande. Certain newspapers
working with powerful selfish
interests which have vast hold
ings i'll Mexico, are determined
to raise Old Glory over that DIS
tracted nation. Those same
newspapers drove us into war
with Spain.
The Lord knows, condition.
have been bad enough in Mexico
| but these newspapers have not
been satisfied with the truth.
They have resorted to the most
inllammatory forms of newsps.
per taking" l have in mind.
one so called news" association
whose owner is heavily interest
ed in Mexico. This association
supplies scores of daily papers
with telegraphic news" and
| for three years it has carried on
most persistent and nnscrupu-
lous propaganda in favor of in
tervention..
Grossly-exaggerated, in
[many instances entirely }9faise
stories, of conditions in Mexico
and along the border, have been
circulated over the country BY
this association. To make mat
ters worse the papers containing
these false stories, together
with editorial comment based
thereon, have been sent into
Mexico and accepted as accurate
statements of American public
opinion concerning Mexico and
it's people.
Those Who Would Benefit
OF course a few of our citizens
would benefit. The men who
have secured concessions
from the various rulers of Mexi-
co would reap great profits.
There would be place, in the COL
onial government for the politi.
clans and the army Of occapa-
tion would afford our military
men opportunities for promo
tion.
But how about the fathers aud
mothers and wives and sisters
whose dear ones would have to
die that Mexico might be con-
quered?
And the tax payers whose pur-
ses would have to provide the
hundreds of millions necessary
to defray the expenses Of con-
quest and occupation?
God Bless Wilson"
The other day one of the Wash.
ington papers stated that Pre- ST.
dent Wilson told intimate
friends he was prepared to
sacrifice his political future, if
need be, to keep this country at
peace.
Every mother who read it ex.
claimed Coo bless President
