he had TO Jerk a boy or two and
mayhap he FASTENED down an aisle to
dust a Jacket with a hickory pointer

fearful wonderment as to whether we

LOYALTY.

One of the finest words in the Ian
guage Is loyalty" 1t is impossible to
think of character without loyalty
Loyalty includes responsibility and re-
sponsibility means debt Loyalty is an
honest debt owed by the individual to
his country. his state, his city, hts
firm, his employer and the organiza-
tons with which he may be connected
by his own act and desire. Its OPP
posite. disoyaity. is repudia ton of OBJ
legations. 1t means betrayal Of a trust.
destruction of faith. evasion of a JUS
dependence placed upon the Individual
by others.
My son, cultivate loyalty. In doing
so you cultivate character and create
conf dence. IF you work for a man
or firm be loyal or quit the job. And
quit the job before you evade this re-
sponsiblity you assumed when You
took it. Loyalty doesn't stop with the
flag It goes right on down to the
commonest things of life. man with
out loyalty is man without friends.
More than that he is a trailer to HIM
self and the best that he might make
OF himself. There are two kinds OF
disloyal men, those who are crooked
and chose whose jelly backbones will
not let them stand straight. So to be
disloyal a fellow has to be a crook or
less than man.
In business the good jobs hunt the
loyal man No matter how able dis
loya, man be he never gets far. The
active principle of advancement IS
trustworthiness and disloyalty and
trustworthiness are antonyms. People
use the traitor but despise him. Today
in America. Benedict Arnold is a name
| Of shame despite the fact that he had
been a brave soldier and in the country
where his disloyalty was accepted and
paid for he died in disgrace and his
name is term of reproach. The de-
mand Of the world is for loyalty, which
after all is only another word for
straight living and square deal be-
between man and men.
The disloyal man is always under
| contempt The husband disloyal to his
wife and who imagines that men look
| on him as d Don Juan or a Lothario
would be swiftly disabused were men
to speak their minds TO him or if he
were to hear what other men say Of
him. Such disloyalty invariably earns
the contempt Of mankind, even OF
those who are little better themselves.
The empioye or partner who speaks
| snereingly of his firm suffers an i'm
mediate loss OF respect among those
who hear him. The salaried man WIZ
| gives a greater loyalty to outside in
| terests than to the source whence he
draws his income is never sought by
| the other Arm at advanced or equa
pay. Business seeks loyalty. 1t has te
have 1t. 1t dismisses disloyalty Il
can't afford to keep it.
One Of the biggest little words in tn,
English language is loyalty 1t is jus
as big In other languages tho 1t sound.

ABOUT TAXES.
[Des Moines Register.l


The Register has frequently offered
to show. greater unexplained discrep-
ancy in the local township levies Of
any county than the total state levy.
That offer is now renewed to the
members Of the legislature who are
getting ready to cut and slash some
OF the most important state undertake
ings of recent years in the interest Of
economy.
The, total state levy is substantially

to point out to Givernor Harding diff
ference OF more than AZ mills in the
local levies OF Woodbury. county which
he can not explain.
The same offer for his own coun-
ty Is extended to any member Of the
general assembly who is talking about
state taxation.
BY way of illustration we recall at

long ago for the Incorporated towns
Of Dallas county. It was shown that
the tax levies Of those towns ranged
from 60 mills for the lowest to Ito mills

While the government Of the United
States still refuses to interfere with
Americans who wish to travel abroad,
the British government has taken a
hand in the matter for the purpose OF
preventing the death Of women and

and children in the war zone. The
British authorities in this country
have been instructed to refuse to wise
passports Of American women and
children who wish to sail for the
