SAM JOHNSON
ON PATRIOTISM
Pork Barrel, Flag Waving, Stacker
Patriots Are Well Described
AS Scoundrels BY Johnson.
(By Bert Goddard.)

Samuel Johnston wise old phiT~
osopher and deep student Of human
nature that he was, made one re-
mark which will never be forgotten
as long as conscious life exists GIN
this planet. He said that patriot
ism was the last refuge of a scUarr-
drel. Now, Sam Johnston dldne
mean to infer that every man or s19-
Of men were necessarily scounCir4L-s
because they were patriotic. Not AT
all. Johnston knew that thousands
Of good men, of noble character arE5
fine mental and moral attributes,
were patriots.
The history Of every country in efies
world is full of the names Of ncEr1
who served their country with a salt
sacrificing devotion and loyalty DC
yond all possibility Of too mucF2
praise. Our heroic ancestors, VIM,
before the Revolutionary war, pledged
their lives, their fortunes and their
sacred honor in what then seemed 10
be a hopeless cause are the best tyTst9
of this brand of real, self sacrificing.
patriots.
To whom or what class did JOHN
ston refet then when he remarks
that patriotism was the last refJrrya
of scoundrel? The first class he
evidently had in mind were tfsar
large class Of big business men aIaI
financial agents who always claim. To
be true patriots and defenders mr
their native land, but never enlist.
They use the patriotic cloak 10 H15a
their mercenary motives. THEY
emerge from every war with whole
skins and large fortunes. This kim57

selfish reasons, and the term porE,
barrel patriots exactly fits this classz
of exploiting scoundrels-
Another class of men who use tflea
flag of their country to hide thefz
moral nakedness are. the politiciarl-
who are constantly trying to ricaa
into office by convincing the Qele-
pie they love their coUstry Better
than any thing else in the worIcI.
The bloody shirt waving after tG.a
civil war is an illustration Of Ghia
brand of patriotism. Candidates with
out character, principles, platform 91
any other asset Of humai value, cou1g
get what they wanted by waving thes
flag and shouting pat .otism. $,

"California Syrup of Figs" Can't Harm Tender StCmach or

 A laxative today saves sick chill tomorrow. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become cloggel up with waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach sour.
 Look at the tongue mother! If coated, or your child is listless, cross feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn'. eat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children's ail- ment, give teaspoonful of "Califor- mia Syrup of Figs" then don't worry because it is perfectly harmless, and in a few hours all this constipation poison, sour bile and fermentins waste will gently more out of the bowels, and you have a well, play full child again. A thorough "insido cleansing" is oftimes all that is necessary. It should be the frs treatment given in any sickness.
 Beware of counterfeit fig syrup. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bot. tie of California Syrup of Figs, which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown ups plainly printed on the bottle. Look carefully and see that it is made by the California Fig Syrup Con- y."-Advt.

GOSLINGS TO MEET
WAUPUN CHAMPS
HERE ON SUNDAY

Watertown will meet Waupun con-
Sunday at Washington park in what
promises to be the fastest and clean
est ball game of the season. So far
the Goslings have defeated the She
boygan team, winners Of the Lake
Shore leaugue pennant and will cross
bats with the Waupunites in the de-
Gliding game for the championship.
Waupun won the pennant when they
beat Horizon in the second post sea-
son game last Sunday. Waupun has
been playing star ball during the sea-
son just ended and will, no doubt, give
the Goslings a fast tussle. The wealth
er if it remains the same will give the
fans an opportunity to jump and yell
without warming themselves up too
much
Pete Kronitz will probably use
Hughes, Anweiler and Henke to start
off and Waupun is likely to start off
Jake and Hauser. From the last re-
ports of the Horizon Waupun game
Houser is not cold weather bird for
he was wild in spots but managed to
work himself out with the aid of clever
fielding. This will probably be the
last game of the season and those who
want to see the Goslings in action for
the last time, had better order their
tickets, for if they don't they won't be
able to secure seat. The game Sun
day has been advertised strong and it
is likely that a record breaking crowd
will attend providing the weather is
favorable. The work of the Goslings
has been fine this season and deserves
the support of all loyal fans. The adj
mission will remain the same, 25 cents,
and 10 cents for the grandstand.
