RUN UP OLD GLORY
By WILBUR D. NESBlT

By WILBUR ID. NESB1T
Author of ''Your Flag and My Flag"
Run up Old Glory!
Let it blaze
In red and white against the sky
And tell the story of the days
When hearts were stout and hopes were high.
Forget the daily fights of greed
Forget the struggles, the dismay
OF facing cruelty and need
Run up Old Glory for the day.
Run up Old Glory!
Think of all
The old flag means to you and me,
OF how the blast of freedoms call
Shook out its folds from sea to sea-
Red with the blood that it has cost,
White with the souls of them that died
Today by laughing breezes tossed
1t whispers of nations pride.
Run up Old Glory!
Fling it forth
And feel anew the country-cal
That thrills East, West and South and North
And has its word for one and all
Run up Old Gory-fng it far
Across the blue of heavens dome,
And feel that every stripe and star
Is warder of your hearth and home.

in the Houston Post paragrapher's
comment: I'VE warn congress now"
says the Post, that its excess profits
tax is not going to get enough out Of
us to pay for a dreadnought.'
Under the playful headline of Tax
Vobiscum," the Chicago News rhymes:
Tax the honey, but not the beef
Yell the captains of industrec.
"Oh, very WE'LL" consumers say,
AS usual, well have to pay.
Don't tax the pesky bee, by jing,
But for heavens sake, remove its
sting"
In the Cleveland Plain Dealer
(Dem.) we read: Use Of air must
be regulated, says the New York
World. All right. If it is necessary
to put tax on breathing, the true
patriot will not complain" The AL
bany Journal (Rep.) thinks "one way
to distinction IS to find something
more that can be taxed" In this
connection Paragraphcr Bailey Of the
Houston Post notes that "a New
Yorker proposes 4 tax on lap dogs
and says: 1--WE vote yea. The babies
are taxed; why not the poodles and
parrots ?"
William Blythe, in his department
in the Portland (Me.) Express, OBJ
serves that "as near as we can figure
it from the various protests, the gen
eral opinion concerning the war tax is
I'VE don't care how it is raised so it
doesn't hit US" In a commendGtory
voice the Minneapolis Journal says;
"The talk of war tax on after-din-
ner speakers is timely. At present the
tax is on the innocent bysittcrs."
The indianapolis Star sounds a
warning, viz. after our congress gets
used to passing billion dollar appro-
priations, it may be hard to get back
to plain millions for post Offices, rivers
and other small items" The Pitts
burgh Gazette Times expresses a crit
icism in its statement that "if con-
gress follows Mr.. hltchln's example
and votes war revenues with its eyes
shut it will open them to find a lot Of
business on the road to ruin"
The Sioux City Journal thus sug-
gestively points out coming face to
face introduction: Just moment,
Mr.. ultimate Consumer-meet Mr.
Wartax and all the little Wartaxes."
The Chicago News, which we quote
again, makes a variation Of the cry.
Business as usual" inferentially in
timating "pastimes as usual" sport
ing goods, golf clubs, baseball bats,
and the like arc expected to rise
