Although our BOYS and gil

Although our boys and girls are
taught patriotism in our schools, there
is one thing that our little men appear
to have overlooked, and that is to take
off their caps when the national airs
are played. Of course they are just
thoughtless. We noticed large num-
Der of boys in the crowd that gathered
to say farewell to the soldier boys on
Sunday, who neglected to remove their
hats when "The Star Spangled Ban
ner" was played. Some of the grown
ups forgot to do this, too, until they
noticed others about them paying the
proper respect to our flag.

States to take possession of the coun-
try of this poor, misguided, ignorant
race and retain it until such time as
they will have learned to govern them
selves in a civilized way. They have
mistaken patience for cowardice and in
giving them the lesson which they de-
serve, we will be unkind if we fail to
deal severely with them.

When the band was playing Friday
evening in honor of Co. D, all of the
men in the crowd with the exception of
two removed their hats when the ma
tional air was played. A patriotic cit
izen who stood just back of them grew
quite incensed and his first impulse
was to knock off their "bonnets." Later
he was glad that he did not do so, for
soon they started talking with their
hands, for they were mutes.
