AMERICAN PATRIoTIsM.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
I want TO refute the charges mace
against myself by a D. Long, in your
issue of April IS, in answer TO my
article in last Tuesdays paper. on Il
Paso Patriotism.
Mr.. Long accuses me OF using e
Paso's patriotism as a cloak under
which TO resort 10 same un-Amerfcan,
unpatriotic utterances- As to my
statements being un-American or IN
patriotic, IS a matter of Mr.. Longs in
dividual opinion. ] did not know thar
it was imperative for a union labei'
to be placed on free speech IN Amer
lea I replied to an attack upon Il
Paso's patriotism by A. n. NJ in your
issue of April q, which l deemed IN
Just and uncalled for. and unfair 10 Il
Paso people Because a person doesr' {
hang out flags. is no indication OF his
disloyalty. As many a hypocrite goes
to church with q cross about his neck,
so many q coward may be hiding De
hind the American flag Usually those
who are most demonstrative are the
least sincere.
No. I didn't say 7 stood squarely
behind the president, for I really
don't He is only one human being and
Is not infallible, but I 90 stand be-
hind American democracy I gave my
honest opinion when said believed
this a war OF economic interest and
I'm not alone IN my opinion Mr..
Long says he agrees with me that our
rights and honor have been repeatedly
and flagrantly violated, but that the
president has waited patiently for the
vioIators to regain their senses It's
true he waited several years after
orr flag was insult6d in Mexico; two
years after BelgiuTn's neutrality was
violated and several months after
Americans were slaughtered for the
''violators TO recover their senses.
but. as soon as Germany declared her
intention to blow up all merchant
ships, war was declared Immediately.
II certainly appears 10 be a discrim-
nation in favor Of large interests, no
matter how intended
Everyone knows that our law
makers are elected by the people, are
servants and not rulers and any al
tempt on their part to force unreason-
able. or undemocratic legislation,
would precipitate trouble. Ny con-
illusions are drawn from observation
and contact with the proletariat and
middle classes. which constitute the
backbone Of American democracy.
Mr.. Longs hints might be Of value
to Russian or German police but not
in America
There are two good reasons why !
didn't enist in the Belgian cause as
Mr.. Long suggests: one is that I am
unfortunate enough to be a woman

would be a raspy tongue and a hat
pin. which wouldn't be very effective
in the face OF machine guns and
gases. The other reason is that there
are already too many women 20 the
number of men there. Il is one hen
pecked" nation
am tired Of Club Room patriot
Ism: let's hear from the man in the
overalls." He will be the important
factor when it is necessary to defend
American principles and ideals.
