THE DODGERS

New York, June l8--At this stage
of the season, Judging from past per-
formances of the club, it's potential
ties as brought out by the abilities,
not only of the players themselves,
but also of their leader Wilbert Rob
inson, the Brooklyn club of the Ma
lional league looks like a very fine
aggregation, likely to make things
most interesting for the remainder
of the league.
, The fact that the New York Giants
have been successful in their meet
ings with the Dodgers, proves moth
ing, except that the Giants play bet
ter ball against the Dodgers than
against any other club in the league
Chances are the end of the season
will find the teams ON more even
terms, for team with the power
of the Br0oklyns is not to be beaten
with such regularity as the Giants
have been beating them.
Before the start of the season, crit
les everywhere conceded that the
Brooklyn clubs pitching staff was the
best in the National league, but they
wept over the condition of Robbies
infield. Robbie himself had misgiv-
ings, but instead of sitting still to
up what he needed When Larry
Kopf refused to report from Cincin,
matt he got Lee Magee instead. Then
he signed Ed Konetchy, although he
has in Ray Schmandt a fine young
first baseman. probably better man
than Konetchy.
Since that time the Brooklyn in
field has been about the best thing
the club boasts. Ivan Olson, has had
mis- bad days, but that old fox has
played good baseball most of the
time. His mean temper has been the

PATRIOTS IN WAR AND
PEACE.

A year ago you were working
like the dickens day and night to
do your bit in helping Uncle
Sam lick Kaiser Bill. You were
giving to the Red Cross, buying
bonds and doing your best to win
the war. Oh, yes, you were a pa
triot all right and your devotion
to your country knew no bounds.
Your patriotism in war was the
real stuff, no doubt about that,
and you patted yourself ON the
back when you thought Of how
much you were doing and the sac
rifice you were making.
Among the ways in which you
manifested your patriotism was
by the purchase of war savings
stamps. You bought these stamps
to help your government carry
on the great struggle. You
bought these securities literally
and it made you feel good to
think that you were 50 generous.
But the war is over and behold
the change that has come over
the spirit Of your dreams
you rush to the postoffice and
serve notice that'you want to call
the loan that you made to Uncle
Sam although you know that
your government still needs inn
mense sums of money to pay war
bills.
Now the government expressly
provided that war savings stamps
might be cashed. This provision
was made for the benefit of pur-
chasers who might be caught in
pinch where they would be in eX-
treme need of the money but the
treasury department never sup
posed that these stamps would
be cashed under other circum-
stances.
Reports from the local post
office indicate that the postmas-
ter is cashing far more stamps
than he sells. This condition is
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1919-06-19

one which does not speak well for
The patriotism Of our people:
After all, peace furnishes a
more crucial test of patriotism
than war. In the midst Of the
thrills Of conflict even a selfish
soul must be stirred and the
poorest sort Of patriot Will do
something for his country. Real
patriotism is not an ephemcral
emotion, active in war and pas
siye in peace; it is steady white
flame that burns in the breast
constantly
With the echoes Of the great
battle receding further and fur
ther into the distance, it bchoovcs
us to apply to ourselves the true
test: are we PATRIOTS in peaee2
If we are shall we continue to
make all needful sacrifices for
our country If we are not, our
patriotism is of a very punk
variety. Hold your W. S. S. and
buy more.
