RED CROSS NOTES

The presence in our midst last week
of so many delegates to the wonen's
meetings at the Presbyterian and
Methodist churches brought many Wis
itors to the Red Cross Headquarters.
We were delighted to welcome them
and to have them inspect our rooms.
One and all spoke very highly Df the
work our Brownsville chapter is doing.
We feel sure that every man and
woman, boy and girl in Brownsville
has heard about the Medicus Recital
to be given for the benefit Of the Red
Cross, Friday night at $3.50, at the
High School, and we trust as many as
possibly can are planning to attend.
1t is not an exaggeration to say that
this will be one of the rarest musical
treats Brownsville people have ever
had chance to enjoy. Mrs Medicus IS
well known in musical circles through
out our country, and we should consider
ourselves most fortunate in having
him in our midst. His patriotism
and appreciation of the great work
that is being done by the American
Red Cross have led him to give his
services in this concert. The nominal
price Of admission-50c--is within the
reach of all. We predict capacity
house for Friday evening, for Browlss-
vile people will not let a good thing
like this pass, and furthermore are
always ready to help worthy cause.
The committee in charge of the concert
have set as their goal $3.50, and know
ing Brownsville as we do, we EEL
sure they will surpass the hopes of
the committee, and go "over the top. :

GREEN HAD NO OPPOSITION
IN JUNE PRIMARY

In the district. the ninth, our pres
ent congressman had 10 opposition in
the primary and so far none have
been presented for the election.
Green's position at Washington is
established by his rank on the great
committee of Ways and Means which
stands highest among the house COM
mittees,a and also by his membership
of the republican committee on COM
mittees. This committee is politi-
cal committee selected by a. republic
can conference of the house members.
1t fixes the place of the republicans
on the various committees of the
house and also selects the members
of the republican steering committee.
Thus 1t practically controls the re-
publican organization in the house.
He is active in debate and has been
concerned in the preparation Of the
most important war measures. He
has from the first advocated pressing
war preparations with the utmost
energy and paying the expense of
the war to a greater extent by in
creased taxes or excess profits and
large incomes, thereby reducing the
amount of bonds issued. He is OPP
posed to consumption taxes and be-
lieves that as far as possible taxes
should be avoided which tend to
raise the prices of the necessities of
life.

DISGRACE TO FLAG

Readers of newspapers occasional
1y note cases whe re communities have
forced proc German or other disloy-
al parsonage to kiss the American
flag" in token of submission to the
government of the United States.
There is no doubt but that enthus-
iastic loyalists to the government of
this country mean well when they
take an unpatriotic character in hand
and force him to retract by word or
act from utterances that should not
now be tolerated. But these same
citizens need to consider the respect
that is due the flag. For a disloyal-
list to kiss the flag" is as much an
insult to our national emblem as the
unpatriotic speech he utters. He
hasn't any right to touch the flag.
He isn't worthy of it. The flag
shouldn't be disgraced in any such
maner.
When a man makes slurring re-
marks about the American flag we
are ready to declare him an enemy.
If man lays hands on the flag and
to fight. Should we ask an enemy to
kiss the flag" and spit in the faces
of the nation of loyal American citi-
zens who hold the emblem sacred
and respective of heartfelt loyalty to
all for which it stands?
The resident enemy of this country
should be penalized, but the flag
should not be shown such disrespect
as to ask that a Judas IscariOt kiss
be placed ON its folds.
