ALESSoN IN PATRIOTISM
The infant prodigy at the Free Press Office his
70 mix In Idaho county political as attempted to stir up
terrible turmoil in article in last weeks issue of his paper
concerning the action of Idaho county Republicans in endors
ing United States Senator William E. Borah.
You see the infant prodigy having recently purchased ~
the Free Press must let the public know that chock full
Of political and than anxious help run the gov
eminent So he raises his hands, palms upward and shouts
alarm and CONSERVATION at the action of the Republicans
failing to provide the Free Press Democratic paper with
copy OF the resolutions adopted
The facts follows AT called meeting attended BY
number of Republicans city recently resolutions were
adopted endorsing Senator Borah
No copy of these resolutions delivered by the Repub
cans to the Free Press for publication
And that's what the infant prodigy is bowling about
memory right it has been the custom in
the past for the Republicans hereabous to look to the Demo
cratic paper for published report Of Republican meetings
Nor have the Democrats made practice of supplying Re
publican papers with reports of Democratic meetings or copies
OF resolutions adopted by the Democrats.
Why, then, all this turmoils
Will the Free Press please point out ANYTHING unusual
or uneica in the action of the local Republicans failing
supply the Free Press with copy Of the resolutions
question:
Perhaps the Republicans didn't care rap whether or not
the Free Press published the resolutions.
The Globe has wept when Democrats failed supply
us with copy of Democratic resolutions
Somehow always held the belief that maybe any
Of our business what the Democrats did.
Sometimes most always we didn't care
Maybe the infant prodigy will grow the the
Republicans in Idaho county providing he sticks
In this instance The Globe could find grounds to fret be-
cause didn't receive copy of the Republican resolutions
hot off the bat few days after the meeting noticed
that the resolutions had been given for publication and
accordingly in the following issue of The Globe the
given publicity in this paper.
Referring to the resolutions adopted by the Republicans
the Globe here reproduces the following paragraph:
1--WE, Republicans of Idaho County Idaho, in
convention assembled, take this occasion to affirm
loyal, never-ending allegiance to flag and to
country lin peace and in war-and particularly do
pledge our loyalty lives and all to govern
ment in the great cause of justice for humanity
bV our fOrce md
We call the readers attention especially the following
lines from the paragraph quoted above
And particularly do pledge loyalty,
lives and all to government in the great
of justice for humanity as baed for by forces and
their allies abroad. ]"
The local Republicans made this pledge as Republicans and
patriotic American citizens They unreservey pledged
their loyalty their lives and their all to their government
whose dsnes are for the present in the hands
Of q Democratic administration
But the Republicans periodically and magnanimously
stripped the of all political phases They placed their
above party above politics. above politicians They
periodically pledged their ALL to their government They
could have done
And yet the infant prodigy at the Free Press publication
which find the caption "A Patriotic Newspaper for
Patriotic Americans has fit to insult the patriotism of
his newychosen neghbors and friends by publicly charging
them with having ignored the president in the resolutions
adopted
The charge technically is true.
But where warranted the insult the patriotism Of the
Republicans who pledged their LIVES and their ALL to
their government
pioneers in the counymen whose integrity loyalty and
patriotism have before been subjected they
really patrosmf And do the people of Idaho county
county which sent hundred splendid young unrafted
to the coorsdo these honest folks know patriotism must
our people look the infant prodigy the Free Press who
publicly and crtczes when pledge ALL to
our government, for lessons in American patriotism
Globe believes the great of people in Idaho county
question the patriotism of body of nenbe they

ALL 10 Dnr government" 8 $3.50
