It is reported that one Scotland
father who has son in the service
refused to give any thing to the Red
Cross. giving as his excuse that he
had given q son and that that was all
the sacrifice that ought to be asked Of
him. This is on par with the man
who expects to get into heaven on the
strength of his wife's christianity.
In this case it is the son that is max
ing the sacrifice, and he is doing it in
order that the father may continue to
enjoy the blessings of liberty. While
expecting to profit himself by the sac
rifce made by his son., this father
would refuse to make any sacrifice
himself in order that the son may
have greater comfort and protection.
Such an attitude is the height of in.
gratitude, not only to the country
that 10 protecting him, but is an abso.
lutte INJUSTICE to the son.

The utter lack of. understanding
that many of our citizens of foreign
birth manifest regarding the funda-
mental principles of our government
is ssurprising. It is shown in their
disregard for the ruling of the state
council of defense regarding theS use
of the German language. Some of
them, we are told. declare that until
President Wilson makes such ruling
they are not under obligations to obey
it. but that President Wilson is our
ruler and the only one with authority
to make a ruling of that kind. The
nlonarchical, idea. is bred into them
and forty years of residence here has
not revealed to them that in America
the people rule. This idea prevails
also in, local governments. In the
state they regard the. governor as the
ruler, and in the city the mayor, like
the burgomaster in their native coun.
try, is the supreme ruler. They could
not comprehend that the president
would have no authority to make such
q ruling unless authorized to do go by
congress, which is the legislative body
representing the people; that the gov
ernor could make no such ruling I'M
less authorized by the Legislature; or
that the mayor can make only such
orders as are authorized by the laws
of the state or the ordinances passed
by the city council. The order re.
garding the use of the G erman Ian
guage was made by the state council
of defense council created by the
legislature during the special session,
and this council was empowered ia
make such rulings as they found nee.
essary to preserve order. The uae Of
the German language in public gath
erings was considered dangerous tt
the peace of the state inasmuch as il
waa found that it was being used t.
stimulate pro- German sentiment. The
order was therefore made by authorit,
of the Legislature, and is just as bind
ing az similar order would be il
made by the president under authorit,
granted by congress. The misunder
standing and consequent defiance o
this order is the reason for severa
citizens of Bon Homme and Hutchin
son counties being called to Trip las
Friday to appear before the council
to answer to charges preferred agains
them.

The government has notified all
newspapers in the country that q re-

The land in the GAINESVILLE NJ enn6fN

week Tuesday by the James River
Land Co., which purchased It of the
Mennonites some time ago. From the
proceeds the company made a profit Of
$50, 600, and still Shave some of the
land left that was not sold. This. is
a pretty good profit, but it will be

Red Cross Day

Tuesday was Red Cross Day in
Scotland, and it is very gratifying to
know that our, little city went over
the top in very creditable shape. The
weather was little threatening, and
light showers fell in the afternoon,
but not enough to dampen the enthu.
siasm of the big crowd present The
business places remained closed all
day, several of the merchants joining
in operating big stand on the corner
of Main and First streets where all
of the proceeds went to the Red Cross.
The hotels and restaurants wetA all
closed and the dining. room of the
Donley House and the c. S. p. S.
hall were filed with tables where both
dinner and supper were served for the
benefit of the cause. Three blocks on

all vehicles, and was reserved ,exclu-
sively for. the pedestrian throng.
