For the Flag and Freedom.

Chicago Evening Post: Was
Lexington a mistake?
Ought there never to have been
a victory at Yorktown?
Was Washington madman
because he suffered through the
winter of Valley Forge?
Was Gettysburg but blunder
of democracy, misled by militar-
ism, for which we must apollo
gize?
Was Lincoln, enforcing the
draft, suppressing treason, de-
manding the full sacrifice of an
utter devotion, despot?
Should we have let the south
secede and spread the mantle of
an. indulgent pacifism over the
crime of slavery?
Were we wrong at Santiago and
at Manila bay? Are free Cuba
and the Philippines the discred-
liable trophies of an unjust war?
Would you like the history of
1916, of 1864 and of 1898 to be
rewritten as Victor Berger, Louis
p. Lochner and the clamoring
crowd Of the pro-German, pro-
peace at any price alliance would
have made it?
The spirit that fought at Lex
ington and Gettysburg and Man
lila bay is the spirit that calls
upon the nation to fight now.
These episodes are but chapters
in story that is yet unfinished
the story of liberty enlarging
its bounds, of democracy sweep
ing wider horizons. We who have
written such glorious chapters in
the past, shall we take no part in
writing the great, new chapter?
For 40 years the flag has
never faltercd when the cause of
freedom called it. 1t is calling
now. To America it says:
"You have had freedom bought
for you with blood, and preserved
and widened through the fires Of
war--you cannot keep it if you
will not fight for it. You cannot
stand aside and see it trampled
under foot on the worlds high
ways and in the vineyards of your
neighbors, while you enjoy its
fruits in a selfish aloofness. You
cannot shield your right to it be-
hind the bodies of other men who
die shouting its battle cry! Free
dom is not a tribal diety. She be-
longs to the race, and whenever
she is assailed a comman cause
is made for all who love her.
And this is not mere rhetoric.
If France and Britain and Rus
sia and Italy fail because we hold
back, the hour will not be far dis
tant before the peril they fought
in vain will be at our doors. We
Will have to face a power That
makes no scruple over breaking
treaties; that payes its way to
conquest with the slain bodies of
women and children; that carries
free men into bondage. Its ter
rorism will be on land and sea.
It's law will shape our conduct as
we travel the world paths of COM
merce. We will buy and sell only
as it permits. Even though we
preserve our own boundaries
from violation, beyond them we
will bow humbly to Berlin.
1t is time for Americans to
realize that the frontiers Of free
dom are their frontiers. Where
the battle is joined the flag must
go. America has outgrown the
day when she could live apart
from the rest of the world. If
America is to remain free, the
world must be free.

HONOR CONFERRED
Mrs. c. w. Hargens Made Honor.
ary Member Of Jack Foster
Gann

At a special meeting of Jack
Foster Camp, No. 3, United Span
ish War Veterans, held on Sun
day evening, June 3, 1917, at the
residence of DR.. and Mrs. C. w.
/ Hargens, Mrs. Hargens was made
an honorary member of the camp
for extraordinary services rem
dered the government during the
war with Spain.
During that war Mrs. Hargens,
being interested in Red Cross Re-
lief work often visited Camp
Black, Long Island, and noted
with sorrow the deplorable con-
dition existing in the camp and
the inadequate hospital facilities
for the care of the fever stricken
soldiers. Without hesitation she
telegraphed President Mckinley
for permission to convert her
residence at Hampstead, Long Is
land, into a hospital for the sick
soldiers. Mr.. Mckinley equally
prompt, issued telegraphic orders
that Mrs. Hargens be allowed
free hand in putting into effect
her philanthropic plans, and ac-
cordingly the Nassau hospital
came into being. Here many of
the sick volunteers secured far
better care than they could pos
sibly have received in the field
and during all the time that Mrs.
Hargens maintained this hospi-
tai only one man died, that SOL
dier dying in her arms. Mrs.
Hargens was overcome by the
strenuous labors involved insthis
vast undertaking and was ill for
three months after the hospital
closed.
The United Spanish War Vet
Grams, mindful of these splendid
services, unanimously elected
Mrs. Hargens to honory member
ship. So far as is known, Mrs.
Helen Gould Shepard, co-work-
er with Mrs. Hargens in relief
work, is the only other woman to
be elected to this honor, this or
ganization being very chary in it's
bestowal.
At the special meeting held
Sunday night, Chas. H. Madden as
officer of the day, Oscar E. Harp
er acted as Junior vice command
er, Ghas. q. Molen, as senior vice
commander, Reuben j. Reals, as
quartermaster, DR.. Oliver A.
Menges as surgeon, the Rev.
d'Argent as chaplain, and John l..
King as commander. Honorary
members, Father Francis x.
Hauesler and Major VIM. H.
Stanley also assisted in the cere-
monies.
After the ritualistic services
had been carried out in full, Mrs.
Hargens beautifully expressed her
thanks for the honor conferred
upon her and further endeared
herself to the representative of
the Camp then present by an is
sue of rations, being assisted in
this labor of hospitality by Mrs.
R. ]. Reals.--Hot Springs, S. D.,
Weekly Star.
Mrs. Hargens is a daughter
in-law of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Hargens of this city. She visited
them last Sunday on her way to
New York City, where she had
been called on Red Cross work.

to 25, has been set aside by Pres
ident Wilson in formal proclaim
alton as the period in which the

ing Sl0O,OOO,O0O for the comfort

ing men, the sick and wounded,
as we'll as dependent families of
enlisted men and destitute nom
cOmbatants.
Despite the many calls upon
the patriotic for financial assist
ance, this campaign for the Red
Cross is already assured the
magnificent support it will need
to carry. Brisk preliminary work
on the part of the western cam
paign committee has enlisted the
most powerful and influential
men in all the large centers. Sec
retary Joseph Tumulty, in behalf
of President Wilson, has wired
to hundreds of prominent men
throughout the west and has re-
ceived from them enthusiastic
assurances of support.

g A TWILIGHT PROPOSAL
BY Virginia. Lee

by NlI2lldl Lee
Copyright, 1917. w. G. Chapman.)
Was ever a fair young girl in the
radiant bloom Of youth, innocent,
trustfuI, with a cherished glowing
ideal at soul so blessed as Madge Viii
lis. And amid it all she was waiting
for a present-nO gewgaw ornament
or passing token or remembrance,
but a royal lifetime gift-a husband.
She stood in the doorway Of the
cabin set just back from the river on
the Texan border. Her father, sturdy
old Reuben Willis, had been a land
SDeCUlatOT in the district for over 20
years. As the saying went, he had
made his pile and was about to re-
turn to his former home in the north.
1Iadge expected his return from Pax
ton, where he had gone to close up
some business affairs. He was to
bring Walter RaybuTn back with him.
Il won't bring you a stiCk-pin or
a new hat, Jewel" her father had
said. The present Pm going to give
you Walter RaybUTn. Glad? So
IS he, ana ne S gong nOTLn Win us
and We'll be happy all the way
round
For, although Madge and Walter
had been engaged for over two years,
Mr.. Willis had insisted that time must
develop the wOrthiness and stead
fasUess Of the ardent lover. Only
twice a year had Walter come down
to the old ranch on the Rio Grande.
And now there was to be a quiet we'd
ding at the little town of PittsviIle, 10
miles away, and a flight to a less isO-
lated spot in the state, where Madge
had been born.
Its like the opening of some
beautiful dream!' mUrmUred Madge, |
as she stood in the doorway of the
rude but comfortable old cabin, gaz-
ing at the reddening sunset. I'm
glad we are going to leave, for the

lations, her father and Walter must
soon put in an appearance. A clatter
outside Of horses hOOfs and strange
voices sent a sharp thrill through her
frame. Madge went to the door. 1t
was to shrink back in sudden terror.
Ten men on horseback had driven
up and now surrounded the house.
Two other drove a light wagon. At
glance Madge, recognized them as
Mexicans. She noted, too, their
semi-military garb.
She had acquired a very fair smat-
tering Of the Spanish language and

only a few overheard sentences were
necessary to apprize Madge of the
fact that the IOng-dreaded raid was a
reality.
The leader of the group was a
handsome, cOurtly young fellow. He
gave sharp, definite orders. All the
men except two deplOyed, surround
ing the building. The leader ad-
vanced and swept his hat to the
ground in a respectful bow.

STATE CONSTABULARY
MAY BE ESTABLISHED

A report current here Wednesday III
military circles and said to have ema-
mated from Federal sources, was that
Kentucky and other States will be
urged to establish constabulary forces
for,police duties within their borders
as soon as all military units have
been taken into the Federal ranks
If the National Guard should con-
tinue picket duty along railroads and
at other scattered stations, there
would only be small percentage left
for Government service, and training
at the mobilization camps would be
out of the question.
1t was reported that United States
deputy marshals would be sent to take
the place of the soldiers now guarding
bridges, tunnels and other points along
the lines of railways in kentucky.
