OURS is PATRIOTISM


presents American patriotism that
effectively contrasts it with the in
ternational socialism, which Germany
founded many years ago and sent cut
to unite the workingmen of all ma
tions. His remarks bring one eagerly
and studiously from the founding of
the ma ton to the present time when
so much is heard of Germany propa-
ganda, with a logical presentation of
socialism and the effects it has had
in this>country during the strengthen
ing power of our own new democracy.
His is a fine presentation of the sue
cess of individual effort and individ-
ual reward. Likewise he has held up
to our gaze the wrecks of communism.
Tt was suggested to Uncle Joe that
we are living in highly organized
state Of socialism. He shock his head
snapped his eyes, and this was his
answer:
We are living in the anne state Of
selfsacrifice that the fathers did when
they signed the Declaration of hide
pendence and pledged their lives,
their fortunes and their sacred honor
20 carry it into effect | think a better
name for it is patriotism. When the
life of the nation is in danger the
lives and fortunes of its citizens are
subject to the call of the nation. I
would not call it socialism--not
while socialists opposed the war and
plot against the Government"
Wins that not an eloquent retort?
This wise old man had a survey of all
our progress as young but powerful
nation under his minds eye when he
poke.
Referring to Mcnamara and the
Mooney cases he expressed to regret
that the London Trades and Labor
council felt privileged to cabel to the
government of California a protest

Importance. Such suggestions. he
lent on, tend to weaken and destroy
he whole fabric of government and
utilization and develop Bolshevikism

The mistakes labor made in con.
ection with the Mcnamara cases
gere later revealed as most gIaring
nistakes when both these men enter

Il over the world INTERVIEWED for
Mooney Somebody committed both
reason and murder in the case for
3hich Mooney is held. and socialism
has interlinked the workingmen
throughout the world in an effort to
ave Mooney from punishment after
e has been convicted, his case re-
iewed and confirmed and returned
gain. There are dangers here which
man of less years and less widom
tAan Uncle Joe Cannon may see.
Again this wise old statesman talks
vitality important development in
modern socialism.

TO any political party here offiliated
