THE RIGHT OF SECESSION.

A half century ago there was dis.
pute between the states of this union az
to the right of secession. An appeal to
the constitution did not help because
that instrument had only provided for
union; the matter Of dissolving the
union had not been mentioned.
The dispute became so great and seri-
GUS that we went to internecine war over
it. Whom that war was ovor the ques.
ton had been settled.
It was decided by that war that this
nation was one and indlsoluble. That
secession was self.destruction. That no
part Of this country could separate 81
be separated without the unanimous
consent Of the remainder, because no
separation could be had without inter
fering with the prosperity, peace and In.
terests generally Of the rest. n
Then it Was first decided for good that
these states wore one nation and not !

faction that one did his duty-and one
has to live lifetime with such thought
to realize how much pleasure it gives.
To some it was hardship; family ties,
business, and other things will be hard
to give up it drafted-and yet We say to
these after some years of experience in
similar circumstances, that one would
have never been quite satisfied with
himself il he bad refused or neglected
this duty hard as it may have seemed. :.
Today all that registered are practi-
cally soldiers and under the orders OF
their superior officers. All they have to
do in the future is to obey orders just as
they obeyed the orders in the presidents
proclamation.
Some will be called to the colors, some
will remain home. Some will perhaps
be called upon to give to extreme last
sacrifice of life itself, but some must die
that the nation may live. War leaves no
choice and some must die. God grant
that in this case the sacrifices need be-
but few if any.

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Like last week there is little to relate
from the seat of war in Europe The
English army in Belgium have been on
the aggressive and in many places forced
the Germans back to certain extent
but it has made but little impression on
the general situation. The submarine
warfare has slackened up considerably
the last month if reports are correct and
the destruction of property on the ocean
has diminished considerably.
Fifteen German aeroplanes swept over
the outskirts of London Wednesday and
killed forty-nine persons and injuring
many more. It is evident that the Zep-
plins have been relegated and the swift
or aeroplanes are being substituted.
General Pershing and his staff have
landed in Paris and are making prepera-
tions for the coming American army
which is being mobillzed in this coun-
try. The officials received big ovations
in England and in the French capitol.
The registration in this country shows
y that practically all within the military
age responded to the presidents call.

OF secession into the question of military
service. They now argue for secession
OF the individual, or perhaps an aggre-

"Unions" II. w. W's." "Socialists" etc.
The substance of their claims is that be-.

because they openly or secretly sym.

refuse to register or to perform other
duties laid down by law.
These people, some by sad experience,
will learn that they are indisolubly con-
nected with the rest of the people of
this country. That they cannot secede
individually any more than can state,
and for the same reasons. The tail can.
not'wag the dog. Because the dog wags
the tail is not sufficient reason for the
tail TO separate itself from the dog by
amputation. The dog might survive the
operation, but it would at least be pain
ful, though Of course the tail would die
forthwith. It might be better for the
country at large to become "bob-tailed"
80 tar as these reactionary people are
concerned but in the meantime they are
an integral part of the country, and the
wagging is at the will Of the dog and
not Of the tail. That is what ''liberty"
and freedom" means in the dictionary
Of the United States.
These people who are thus attached
to this country BY only one end (through
which they receive their life bloody

Patriotism. loyalty and service are the
watchwords of the day, and in keeping
with the true meaning Of such words.
the people of Pembina have taken it up
on themselves to provide the opportu-
nifty for all to get together in great
patriotic observance Of our national
holiday. The assurances of our trends
and nelghbors in adjoining cities OF their
intention to be present justifies US IN say
ing that on July 4, there will be one of the
greatest gatherings of patriotic people
ever witnessed in this section.
The program of the day will be OF
patriotic nature in every sense. This is
not year Of celebration, but rather of
and consecration and the
exercises Of the day will be strictly in
keeping with that idea.
We have all tried to do our patriotic
duty in increasing the food supply of
our nation and with the bountiful rain
which we have had it looks as though
nature would now do her share, and
that our efforts were not in vain. There.
fore, let us get together on our national
holiday and give expression to the patti.
riotism which is inherent in every true
American citizen.
In the morning there will be an i'm.
pressive street pageant, which will be
made up of floats typifying those things
which should arouse and intensity the
love of country which is the outstanding
characteristic of the American people,

cred with martial ceremonies. But citiz-
ems are not under martial laws and regu.
lations. On the other hand when
householder thinks enough of the flag to
care for it morning and evening 1t looks
as though he does care for it.
The "union jack" is not a national
flag. Both the United States and Great
Britian have "union jack" flags but in
both cases these flags are but part of
the ''ensign" or national flag.
The "union jack" is the part of the
flag that is called the "union'. In this
country it is the blue field with the
forty.eight stars in the corner which
signifies the "union" of the states,
while the British "union" with the three
crosses Of st. George, st. Andrew, and
st. Patrick, signifies the union of Eng
lang, Scotland and ireland. The word
''jack" in this connection has no real
meaning except that this flag is always
displayed from the fore part of the ship,
and in the old navy from a small mast
called lack staff" that projected up.
ward from the bowspirit. The national
ensign Of all ships when displayed are
invariably shown from the rear mast
or from pole at the stern. The ship
may be flying other national colors on
other masts at the same time but the
sign of nationality of the ship shows at
the stern. For instance, British owned
lines crossing the Atlantic between
Liverpool and New York generally fly
the American flag at the foremost and
the British flag at the stern. If the
ship is registered as American then the
position of the flags would be reversed.
A flag hoisted with the "union" down
is signal of distress and used at sea
only. A flag at half mast means death,
but half mast means that the flag be
lowered only about twice or three times
its width or less on smaller flag.
Ordinarily there is no harm done to the
dignity of any country by hosting an
alien flag. for courtesy, ornament, decora.
tion or similar purpose. But in time of
war it is crime to hoist the flag of the
enemy country.
The sign of the cross is the emblem of
Christianity. The sign of the flag is the
emblem of patriotism and man cannot
be good Christian unless he also good
citizen.

DID YOU REGISTER?

Tuesday all men between twenty.one
and thirty-one we're called upon by the
United States government to register
their names and ages for the purpose of
conscription.
The daily papers reported very little
resistance anywhere in the United
States. In fact less than was expected.
Undoubtedly there are some who did
not register who should, but in most
cases these will be dealt with by the u.
S. government later.
The chances of the average man es-
Gaping from consumption are very slight.
The chances of being caught and pun
ished are very great.
But possibly some will escape regis.
tration and detection. Such person
may try to congratulate himself as hav-
ing thus outwitted the government-and
even have sort of pride in being so
smart. But deep down in his heart, he
will always despise himself. He may
hide from, his fellows but he cannot hide
from himself. He will know himself as
mean. low, cowardly cur, who deliber-
ately refused to do his share in protec-
ting his own home. In truth he dellber.
ately refused to do his bit and sneaked.
For most things, even for crime, the
actor has some form Of excuse, but the
man who refuses and by trickery ab.
stains from standing shoulder to shoulder
with his fellow man cannot even find an
excuse to satisfy his own weak con.
science.
T Any man, and we mean by that any
one who is q man, who had a right to
register and evaded that act, will regret
it to his dying day. There are still liv.
ing q few men who should have done
their bit at the time Of the civil war and
did not. Some had good reason, some
had lesser reasons. but every one Of them
have keenly regretted ever since that
they did not volunteer.
II this is read by one who deliberately
refused to list his name, don't get angry
and. say we are calling you bad names.
We do not have to call names, We are
only stating facts. The name applies
itself. A dirty man is dirty not because
somebody calls him dirty but because it
is fact. There are quite number Of
words that properly describe acts like

FLAGS AND FLAG-STAFFS.

In these days most people want to dis.
play the national colors from homes and
business places. 1t is worthy idea and
helps. Even the dullest mind cannot
look at "Old Glory" without experience
ing at least slight degree of patriotism.
In war times the flag stands for very
much. 1t IS an outward and visible
sign of good citizenship. 1t is one
ornament that can be displayed on
house, store, school or coat lapel, with.
out undue ostentation
But many people who have flags or
want to buy them; hardly know just
what to do with them when they have it.
We have before stated in this paper
how to place fag-satffs on buildings, but
will again repeat. First, don't nail or
spike flagstaff fast to the building.
All stats should be set in some sort of
socket, from which they can be lifted
and then lowered. Spike "step" with
a hole partly through to fit the bottom
of the flag pole, two or three feet be.
low the top of the roof combing, either
make a. hole little larger than the
staff through the combing of the roof,
or nail on large staple for the same
purpose. Run the pole through the
upper hole or staple and set in the step.
II the pole is 70 60 from the outside of
the combing through the staple, then
the bottom ''step" must be extended
outward enough to have the pole straight.
All this means that ropes get rotten
with the weather and unless great care
is taken, soon one will have flagstaff
but no "halliards" as the rope that hoists
the flag is called. If the pole IS nova.
BILE, and can be taken out of the socket
then new ropes are easily rove.
A smooth hole bored in the wood, or in
hard wood cap or "truck'' is better
than metal pulley. Metal almost al
ways rusts and jams.
: For the house 1T does not look we'll to
see a cheap flag nailed to the side of the
building. A pole set in the lawn looks
better unless the architecture of the
building admits of a pole addition, which
few houses do.
A simple method and convenient hae
been adopted by several house holders
here. A piece of metal pipe from two to
nx feet long and from an inch and half
to two inches in diamater is driven
foot or more into the groud. The flag is
provided with pole piece of bamboo
fishing rod six to eight feet long makes
light and handy pole for flags from
four to six feet long and each morning
the flag is set in the piping that has been
driven the sod and in the evening
lifted out and put under the porch or
similar dry place. The pipe in the yard
can be filled with soil to within foot or
more from the top.
A longer flagstaff can be made from
ono two OF three lengths OF metal Pipe
without much cost, but ON this the flag
