success. No matter what land gave
you birth, this company gives you op-
portunity, a chance to succeed. This
company lives up to the watchword of
America, for American is but another
name for opportunity.
Except in wisdom, enterprise, or
character, we as nation recognize the
equality of all men. As yet we are I'M
embarrassed by absolute customs and
unfettered by deeaved institutions.
Our nation is built upon the corner
stones of liberty, intelligence, oppor-
tunity and equality.
Our nation s history is that of
achievement. Our past is that Of
triumph. At Bunker Hill the prize
was liberty; at Gettysburg, the union;
at Santiago, human rights
But the victories of the past will
not suffice. Today grave problems con-
front us. Problems that demand the
most serious consideration, the deep
est anxiety and the utmost caution.
Our future as nation will be deter
mined by the character, integrity and
principles of our citizens of today-for
as are the people, so is the nation.
Today calls for patriotism; loyalty
to our country; not the patriotism of
the summer soldier and the sunshine
patriot but the patriotism brave
enough to face without finching the
problems that confront us; a patrio-
tism brave enough to sacrifice if neces-
sary, home and life for our country.
And today, when yonder emblem was
unfolded, with it's every star I'M
dimmed with its every stripe unsullied
when beyond it we viewed the ma
tion IS heroic past, we experienced a
thrill, every fibre quivered, every nerve
tingled and our heats beat with an
understandable emotion.
Behold the flag of our country; a
flag into whose folds have been woven
that increase its precious
ness beyond expression; a flag along
whose stripes we may trace the growth
of representative democracy, an indi-
visible union of indestructable states
and from whose stars we see the Light
of hope and liberty still flashing up
on the nations.
It's red symbolizes courage: its
white, integrity of purpose; it's blue,
steadfastness, love and faith.
That flag represents a whole nation
al history; in its sacred heraldry; in
its glorious insignia, it stands for the
one idea, Divine right of liberty
in man.
ooh beautiful flag, thy folds 50
gently kiss the breeze. u
Tt seems that zephyrs rare, were
born, to watt thee ON wings of peace;
no cost of birth, doth streak thy
white; no tyrant s stain doth streak
thy red; thy blue so bright, so sweet
and fair, calls other stars to blaze
there; thou grandest banner on land
or sea, fair union flag, all hail to thee!o

"Today calls for patriotism; loyal
ty to our country; not the patriotism
Of the summer soldier and the sun
shine patriot, but the patriotism brave
enough to face without finching the
problems that confront us-a patrio-
tism brave enough to sacrifice if neces-
sary, home and life for our country. -
This was the ringing declaration of
the new patriotism made by Judge
Clifford f. Randall as he spoke to two
thousand cheering Kenosha people on
Sunday afternoon at the patriotic dem
onstratiOn attending the raising Of the
flag over the Simmons factory. Re
gardless of the fact that the thermom-
etor was about zero and the cold wind
blew from the north, the demonstration
was one of the most notable patriotic
gatherings ever held in Kenosha and
as Old Glory was haulded to the top
of the flag pole by more than thirty
men, all loyal Americans, but all Of
whom had seen the first light under
the flags of other nations, there was a
mighty cheer which was heard far
down into the town down district.
Cold weather failed to stop the patrio-
tic demonstration. The band played
the Star Spangled Banner and America
aud the people joined fervently
and with uncovered heads in the
salute to the flag.
1t was a notable day in the history
of the SINCE Club and it was made
patriotic event for the people of the
whole city. tt was not limited to the
employees of the Simmons Company
for the streets were crowded with au-
tomobiles and many men and women
of the city took this, the first occasion,
to declare themselves real patriots.
On the platform to the north of the
big flag pole were seated many men
prominent in the life of the city.
Fred G. Stemm, commander of the
Grand Army Post and many of the
men who had worn the blue in the war
of the rebellion, were there to cheer.
Earl w. McMullen, who presided at
the ceremonies, announced that the
flag was being raised on the anniver-
sary of the death Of the late 2. G..
Simmons and that the men who had
started in the great industry which he
had built up in Kenosha knew Of no
grander way Of honoring his memory.
AS the flag was hauled away to the
top of the great flag staff the Since
band played the Star Spangled Banner
while a cannon set up ON the corner Of
the lot blazed away the salute
AS the flag reached the top of the
staff there was an avalanche of cheers
and as these died away Chairman
McMullen read the following telegram
from q. G.. Simmons who is now
in Florida

Crumpler pitched for the japanese and

and Kelly were the leading hitters for
the Pirates.
The game was a weird exhibition at
times, and the Japanese failed to hit
Kelly. McGavin was the only Jap
anese to hit Kelly for more than one
hit. Maddis, Kelly, Orneilas and Nc
Gavin secured triples during the after
noon.
The Pirates scored four runs in the
second and three in the sixth off
Crumpler, which was quite enough to
win. There was a small crowd on
hand, although there were number
of star players in the game. Kelly
famed 10, while Crumpler struck out

that II of the Is hits were made by
members of the All-Stars.
In the first game the NJ. Company of
