Salute The Flag-The lifting the
hat, or otherwise saluting the flag of
our country, when passed on a public
building or displayed on a special oc-
casion, is quite the proper thing and
should not be forgotten or neglected.
But just now we are engaged in null
tiplying the flag And no better nor
more encouraging Sign of the times
could be found, or asked, than the
way in which Twin Falls is blossom
ing with "red, white and blue" Let
the good work go on until "Old Glory"
floats over every dwelling, from the
humblest to the most pretentious-
over every church and place of bust
ness, until, as a community, we shall
have shown our sentiments with our
cOlOrs:
Flag of the free hearts hope and
home,
BY angel hands to valor given,
Thy stars have lit the wellxin dome
And all thy hues were born in
heaven"

Londan adds that he late husband,
Jack Londan, would have joined them
in signing the document.
To one paragraph declaring that
Service in a modern democratic de-
tense force should be a part of the
discipline and duty of every citizen,

the reservation that he would favor
such an army "only in case of a large
army were needed
The California organization of So
cialists recently passed a resolution
declaring that any Socialist favoring
military preparedness is automatical-
ly dropped from the party.
eve consider it the business Of So
cialists to adjust themselves to events"
the statement says, adding that ITO
stand immovably by ones opinions
may be a sign of heroism, but it may
also be a sign of slothfullness and it is
necessary to discriminate between the
two"
The first point enumerated in the
statement is that the writer's believe
there is a difference, even from the
point of view of revolutionary So
cialism, between democratic and auto
RONtIHDltulS.
ence should be recognized.
Regarding disarmament, the state
ment says if it is impossible for
democratic nations to dim or even to
weaken their defenses in the pres
ence of autocratic nations and the
opinions is expressed that if the full,
revolutionary program of socialism
existed in America tomorrow, this
country would be called upon to de-
fend itself from aggressions of auto
cratic. nations.
I'VE declare that the proper aim of
Socialist world politics now is an al
lance of the politically advanced ma
lions for the defense of the demo-
cratic principles throughout the en-
tire world" and to this end, the state
ment urges a more immediate control
of foreign relations by the people.
Pending the securing of world
peace by an alliance of democratic ma
tions, it is necessary that the United
States should maintain an army and
navy" the statement says, and it adds
that ito refuse under any circum-
stances to vote for military supplies,
as has been required by a recent par
ty decree, is to be sentimental rather
than scientific; Tolstoyan rather than
Maxim"
Common ownership and democratic
control of the instruments and means
for defense are urged and the formu-
la of mo private profits from military
supplies" is advanced Democratiza-
ton of the military service is favored
"Our military training should be
made the physical culture part of oul
public sch iol education" the state
ment says. at should be begun in
childhood through the work of the
Boy and Girl Scouts and it should be
continued through youth.
1--WE declare that service in such {
modern, democratic defense force
should be a part of the discipline anC
duty of every citizen. both male ant
female. To use only volunteers in ma
tional defense is to kill off the men o
courage and character, and to breeC
from weakness and incompetence; ant
this is national suiside. A vital mill
2 tary system should be an organic par
t of our national life"

The Small Boy, after a lesson on the
omniscience of deity, told his mother
he knew something God couldn't do,
"just the same" and when challenged
said, "Well, He can't make two
years-old colt in a minute" Leaving
deity out of the question, it is quite
certain that no human being can tell
what the average kid" is going to do
next, or any old time! Witness: A
few days ago, upon call to order, a
ten or twelve year old boy slid into his
seat in one of the grade schools with
a fiery red face and big, brass-stud-
ded dog collar securely padlocked
about his neck-followed, of course, by
a retinue of other grinning or giggling
urchins. Investigation on the part of
the teacher developed the facts that,
in the furry when the bell rang in
the midst of the game, the key to the
paddock had been dropped through a
crack in the sidewalk! A committee
of safety was sent to recover the key;
and, a few minutes later, Johnny was
released, happy, but still red. In an
other grade room, about the same
time, a messenger held whispered con-
sultation with the teacher, at the close
of which she called up one of her
smaller pupils: Jimmie she said,
have you got your mothers false
teeth?" "Yeth m" producing the same
from a capacious pocket and sorting
them from among the strings and
things. what in the world did you do
that for Jimmie?" We'll she list laid
'em beside her plate and I swiped
'em for a joke on her!'
