''WHAT THE AMERICAN
FLAG MEANS TO ME-"

The Ri. Rev. Austin Bowling wrote
by request a 100 word essay for a
Catholic paper on the subject What
the Flag Means to Me-" 1t reads:
1T symbolizes the ideals of my
country.
Though its flutters in the same
breeze which flaunts the flags of all
nations, yet it is to me thing apart,
For it stands for faith in the COM
mon MANN his ability and his dis
position to govern himself and 9TH
ers justly.
and it is a standard of hope rath-
er than of memories of aspiration
rather than of achievement.
Moreover, it is the only flag on
earth that is always being changed,
since the more thickly the field of its
stars is strewn the larger is the char
ity of its ordered freedom.
The stripes and the bars of her
aldry, symbol of peace, of poise, OF
power

WILL HOLD MEETING
IN AUDUBON SOON

A. w. Arnold, field secretary for
the Greater Iowa Association of Dav-
export, Iowa, was in the city today
making arrangements for a meeting
in Audubon about the first week in
October. The object of this associa-
ton is to boost Iowa and Iowa made
goods. During that week from one
to three speakers will visit every
county in the state, and it is quite
likely that the merchants in each of
the towns will have on display all
Iowa made goods.
The state has been divided into
eleven groups and Audubon is in
Group No. ), of which w. S. Keo-
line, of Council Bluffs, is the chair
man.
1t is the intention of the Associa-
ton to hold a dinner or supper hour
meeting, at which from 80 to 100
people of the county will be invited
as their guests and at that time
prominent speakers will talk, but the
talks will be limited to 80 minutes.

HAD STROKE OF PARALYSIS.

Word reached Audubon Sunday
that Mrs. VIM. Leem, former resi-
dent here, had suffered a stroke of
paralysis at the home of her son,
Link Lee, just across the line in
Guthrie county. The stroke was
quite severe one and it was feared
for while that she would not sur
vive. However, her condition be-
came somewhat improved and the
attending physician hopes to see her
regain the use of her limb and arm.
Her husband died several years
ago and since his death Mrs. Lee has
lived with her son. Her old time
friends hope TO soon hear of her i'm
proved condition

Mr.. Arnold met a number of our
business men, all of whom gave him
the glad hand of fellowship and each
and every one of them will cooper
ate with the association to make the
meeting a success. More definite in
formation will be published in a later
issue of the Republican.

At THEIR OLD TRICKS

No man who is in his right mind
wants congress to go ahead without
due deliberation on any Of the great
questions now waiting TO hc solved;
but everybody does want this DELHI
Grafton carried on honestly and con-
sciontiously We are losing patience
with ohstructionists OF the la Fol
lette type There is too much wicked
obstruction put over under the guise
Of proper deliberatlon that can have
no reason for being except disloyal
desire TO discrcdit the forces now at
work to prosecute the war. Presi-
dent Wilson and the agents he has
chosen are fallible men. and there can
bc no objection TO questioning the ad-
visibility OF the steps they have rec
commended. Every man who differs
from the administration Is not a trail
tor. But Il IS becoming Increasingly
evident that there is species OF oh
structlon being practlcod that cannot
be justified on the plea of sincerity
or proper caution.
Events are moving faster than our
lawmakers can keep up with at the
best II is discouraging, therefore, to
see the brakes put upon congressional
action at every turn and that too
under the most flimsy pretcxt. La
Toilette and his shadow. Gronna. arc
again at their old tricks and propose
10 hold up any Appropriation for the
aviation service by rehashing the
worn-out arguments discrcditcd when
the conscription act was passed They

Ana this. too, In the face Of the fact
that our best hope of success in Eu-
ropc apparently hangs on this branch
Of the service. Fanihle as he is. the
people would rejoice II the president
ehould assert that extreme OF his con-
stituuonal rights and take this worl,
out OF the hands OF dilatory con-

CAN'T FINE THEM UNLESS
THEY COMMIT SOME CRIME
Municipal Judge 4. ID. Evans Dis
charged Twelve Negro
poItpf-s from COurt

In municipal court yesterday after
noon Judge T. II. Evans held that It
was practically impossible for the
tribunal to fine person unless that
person had committed some sort of
crime, whoreupon he discharged
twelve negro porters. who had been
rounded up by police officers Thursl
day night, who were acting under or
dors from chief of Police Lucas.
Early Thursday evening police Off
GERS were instructed to arrest all
roominghouse portors, who were
found standing on the sidewalks in
front of the establishments they rep
resented. As result OF the nights
activity twelve porters We're escorted
to the police station, all but one of
the number being in position 70
furnish cash bonds in the sum of s25
each.
when the cases were called to trial
and the prosecution failed to produce
evidence other than that the porters
had merely been standing ON the side
walks or in the stairways of the room
inshousos. the court held that so far
as he had been able to ascertain by
perusing the volume OF city or
dinances Il wasn't considered a crime
of exceeding heniousnes to stand on
the sidewalk.
All officers who had taken n hand
IN the arrests testified that the por-
tcrs had not been intercepted in the
act Of soliciting patronage and that
the arrests had been made upon or
dors issued by the chief of the de
partment All We're discharged.

NEW FRONTIERS.

We hear great deal Of sentimental
gush about tho "no anneXatlons. no
indemnitics" idea. meaning OF course
In the main that this war should end
by restoring the old political geo.
graphical lines that existed before the
war began Much Of this has only
come into attention since the Russian
revolution thru the mouthings Of so
cialist extremists in that country. The
phrase has an attractive sound TO
many ears. not because they have
studied what II means. but because It
seems In harmony with the American
love Of peace. But the whole propo-
sition ~ dolusion ana a snare, for
If such were 10 bc the end OF all this
travail Of the great nations Of the
earth rivers Of blood would have
been shed In vain and the foundation
laid for future struggle in compari-
son with which the present one would
be mild ana harmless.
That one of the triumphant powers
should seek 10 enlarge its boundaries
by annexation or TO impoyerlsh the
conquered hy unnecessary financial
demands is repulsive to the American
idea. America asks no such favor
aud will doubtless look with strong
disfavor upon any such attempt 10y it's
allies. But that IS slightly different
from the question Of restoring the
81 flia
war primarily 10 save democracy from
the onslaught of autocracy. but IN
doing so we are compelled to ask for
'rcparation for many great wrongs that
have been done, both recently and
further back what would be tho
sense, for instance. of a peace that
did not indemnify Belgium for the
great losses that have been iniquit-
ously placed upon her? What about
Serbia and Alsacc- Lorraine, or Italia
Irridenta? what is to become Of "A
heroic Poland. the Belgium Of a
former generation? How about the
prosecuted Armenians? Are all of
these To be ignored just TO satisfy an
Impractical ideal?
II anyone thinks that America or
any Of her allies will consent to a
peace that puts the old frontiers back
on the map. he needs to get the no
tion out of his head as soon AS pos
sible. while We are mainly intent on
curbing the power Of. and II possible.
DESTROYING forever the curse Of autOC-
racy. We cannot consistently consent
TO an empty peace and leave all these
wrongs unrighted Just read the

WASHINGTON, July. 20. -- Grain
as far as the eye could see in Okla
homa," and "112 in the shade in Kan
sas,' is the way the Washington
school boys, who went west to aid
in the harvest, write back home
These boys left Washington some
time ago with Enid as their dostina-
tion. Their experiences are best told
by the following from the Washington
Star:
Somewhere in the former wild
and woody west a number of Wash
ington's patriotic young men are do
ing their bit None OF them is Of the
conscription age, hut their desire to
do something for their country was
the incentive for them to go west, in
response TO an appeal from the fed
eral government to assist in harvest
ing grain. Fathers, mothers. sisters
brothers and sweethearts were on
hand to witness their departure from
union station in two Pullman tourist
cars, but word comes that no recep-
tion committee was on hand when the
young tourists alighted from the train
in Oklahoma.
There was grain as far as the eye
could see, wrote one of the young
patriots, but 1t was not ready TO be
harvested. The season was a trifle
backward and the grain would not be
ready for the harVesters for some
time No preparations for the care
or employment OF the strangers had
been made, according to information
contained in letters from them, and
some of them concluded they would
stand the hardships.
"Self-preservation was shown by
some OF the older members of the
party, who quickly filled the only
hotel close at hand. but an accom-
modating sheriff turned over va
cant house to other members of the
party and they made themselves as
comfortable as possible on the floor
altho one of the boys wrote his
mother: 1t was the hardest floor
ever felt"
Separated in Small Groups.
Father John O'Grady, who accom-
panied the patriots as an agent of the
department of labor. was unable to
procure employment for all the boys,
and. II is stated, the latter separated
and went in small groups to look for
work.
some of them found farms where
they worked for their food and lodg-
ing, others Jared we'll enough to get
cash for their work and others got
cold feet and started homeward 1t
