A Deeper Patriotism
(From Che Michigan PatrIot.l

trTOm U16 MlCulSdl dtIlUt.J LN
There has been latteriy throughout the
Ir'ted. States a rather aggressive display
OF pseudo.patriotism, marked more pa'titaI
!e' ly by the display OF the national efsign
variously known as Old Glory, the Stars ana
Stripes and the American flag. Taa most
marked 6isplay IS the wearing of scia.l flags
on coat IiDels. ~
There is an old sentiment expressed In
the words, Don't wear your heart on your
Sleeve" and it seems to have some appiica-
ton here. Itlshould be taken as a matter
of course that a citizen of the United States,
and citizens are the wearers Of the flags
here referred to, should carry in his heart
a love for the sentiments and the memo
ries and the institutions OF which this tri-
color is a symbol. 1t is not necessary to
boast of his love, to Haunt his innermost
feelings in the faces OF his fellow men. 1t
should be accepted that a citizen of the
United States is patriotic and ready TO re.
spond TO any call that may be made upon
him 10 defend the flag and what IT, stands
for. f fgee0 .tw t
To some of us this arbitrary display Of
the flag recalls Hamlet's -The lady doth
protest too much, methinks." A son in the
regular army or national guard Is a much
better evidence of the patriotism Of many
of the men who today ostentatiously vaunt
their patriotism by wearing the flag. Mem,
bership in the guard would be a better dec
laration for younger men.

He Should Worry

When Governor Lindsey, approving the
policies of his Democratic predecessor,
elected by a large majority of the voters
of New Mexico-succeeded by Mr.. De Baca's
death to the ~governorship of New Mexico,
It was a foregone conclusion that the old
Republican machine which made such a bit
ter, desperate and ruthless fight to seize the
state, would camp on the new governors
trail n make life miserable for him un-
less he did its bidding.
There is good reason to believe that this
pressure has been steady, persistent, tire
less, continuous and harassing. 1t Is known
that this pressure has sought to handicap
every effort the governor has made to be a
governor for all the people, fair an just
and honest, 1t is said that the pressure has
wornied Governor Lindsey considerably, as
uninterrupted, monotonous nagging is k
ly to badger anyone.
1t occurs to us to suggest as we have sug-
gested before. thai Governor Lindsey should
worry. He is the governor of New Mexico.
There are no strings on him. He went into
ONCE with a clean record as o county lawyer
and farmer. The corrupt Republican ma
chine hasn't a thing on him.. If he has any
ambition to be governor again, history has
demonstrated that the support of the Re-
publican machine is fatal. If he has such
ambition, he should worry about the G.
O.,P. gang; if he hasn't, he should likewise
worry.
We would suggest therefore that the gov
ernor do not take the Fostering of this
crowd too seriously. There is a tremendous
lot Of humor in the situation if one looks
at it with the proper perspective. Let them
cons with their hats in their hands,
with due humility to the governor of the
state of New Mexico-Yho has much power
n many prerogatives. Never was a gov
ernor indicted into office under more favor
able cir-cumstances-no strings, unham-
pered, perfectly free to be his own kind of
a governor. No one has a handle on him.
It is well known that the old guard has
planned to put the squeeze on the gov
ernor by making him unhappy. 1t is said
that the Fostering has worried him. And
this is merely a little hanch to the gov
ernor to remember at all times that the
joke is really IN the o.. g.; and bear In
mind the motto, "Ishka Bibble...
