Where the People

he Patriot

To the Editor of The Republican: CThese lines are dedicated to that young man who so periodically as- serted himself on the streets of Phoe- nix in my hearing). I'd love to wear that jacket blue, And SCOUT the deep, blue sea This arm I'd bear in freedoms cause, That flag to ever free. I'll risk this life with submarines, Or battleships galore, Our cause is just, in God we trust, The world can ask no more. Freedom to us is heavens gift, Our fathers paved it's course, Born as we are, in strength and health, We'll hold it, aye, by force. That blood which our ancestry gave Flows purely in our veins: Shall we defile it? Take this life, That boon shall ne'er be stained. Now roll the drum, the cymbals clang, Let music swell the breeze. Enlist ye brave, thou native son, That clarion call appease. Ave bare that breast when duty calls No cowardice present, But gun in hand. grasp firm thy
 sword Thy life must now be lent

In address at Topeka Kansas, week ago Governor Capper said
 It was discovered last week that while potatoes were selling for something like 16 cents pound in New, York, and not great deal less in other big cities, 3,0O0 of potatoes held Chicago by speculators boost the price still higher It also was discovered the same week that 200 cars or eggs were standing in Chicago terminals while the food spectators who owned them made the market

 It is important for the people to know that the farmer gets of the high profit in foodstuffs A 50 per cent increase is always tackled on to his products as soon as they leave his hands, and the spectators double and triple this price The producer has no hand in the present holdup. products of last harvest long ago passed his hands He has profted by none of the tremendous advances since that time.

It is planned to secure eight companies with twenty four Tn each company. IL is possible that some of the mae teachers will act as captains. The initial committee will meet with officers or the Rotary club this noon when more definite plans will probably be worked out The scheme is a new and novel one, and is meeting with approval by the high school boys, The idea of camp life is very attractive to the boys.
