1~HIR1Y-FouR YEARS

As perhaps some of our readers
noticed, last week marked the
lapse of thirtyfour years since the
launch of The Forest City Press
on the sea of journalism.
Circumstances prevent us from
issuing a big anniversary number
to celebrate the event. While the
columns of The Press do not give
evidence of the iourishing business
which is a necessary prelude to
Anniversary Issues, and expensive
write-up, still the inducements and
advantages that in early days in
duced three or four different
punches of eastern capitalists to
blow in thousands of dollars in
search Of El Dorado at this point,
still exist here, to he exploited in
due time, for the jubilation of the
"Old Stayers." Among the most
important of these is the prospect
i've opening of the Cheyenne River
Reservation to homesteads, the
barging of briqueted Ignite down
the Missouri river, the Red and
Yellow Auto Trail, &C., &c.
These are enough for most any
community to build their hopes
upon.

educated at government expense
whose parents are amply able to

public school facilities at or near

more selfrespect and independence

1t means, in short, the beginning of
the end of the Indian problem.
In carrying out this policy. l
cherish the hope that all real
friends of the Indian race will lend

You may not believe in war.
there are few if any of us who do.
Further you may have believed the
United States should and could
have avoided this var With Ger
many. Those are beliefs you are
perfectly entitled to hold, but that
does not alter the case one particle.
The country--your country, if you
are an American citizen--is at war.
The question now is, do you want
to see your country the victor or
would you prefer seeing its enemy
the victor? Your answer to this
question will determine whether
you are a loyal American citi-.
zen or not, whether or not you are
entitled to the protection and priv
ileges this country guarantees you
as a loyal citizen.
But loyalty in America today,
as in other times of stress the
country has seen, requires more
than mere passiveness. because
passiveness all too often is but the
outward evidence of retrained an
tagonism. In a war where only
foreign nations are concerned there
is possible such a thing as neutral
ity, but in a war where our conn
try is concerned such a thing is an
absolute impossioility. If you are
a loyal American citizen you must
be willing and ready at all times to
say and do such things as will ad-
vance its cause, bring victory near
er-to say and do them voluntarily
and spontaneously. That is Am
erican loyalty.
Disloyalty does not mean that
you must bear arms against your
country, that you must impart
military secrets to its enemies, or
that you must directly aid it's enc
mics in any manner. It is dis
loyalty to hamper your country in
any manner, to retard It's actions
BY word OF deed, to say things
calculated to discourage enlist
ments or that might in6ame intern
perate ones to acts which you. a
prudent one, would not. have the
courage to commit.
You know now, deep down in
your heart, whether you are loyal
to the American government Or
whether you are loyal to the i'm
perial Gcrman government. Soon
FER or later, regardless offhow quiet
you may keep it and how passive
You may attempt TO mo, your
friends and neiehbors kill know.
