F. 49,
some of the champions of the nation in
the various crisis of her history.
Thrift, industry, obedience to law, and
intellectual cultivation are essential
qualities in the make up Of any sue
cessful people; butts no people can be
really great unless they possess also
the heroic virtues which are as needful
in time of peace as in time Of war, and
as important in civil as in military life.
America will cease to be great ma
ton whenever her young men cease to
possess energy, daring, and endurance,
as we'll as the wish and the power to
light the nation g foes. No citizen Of a
state should wrong any man; but it is
not enough merely to refrain from in
fringing on the rights of others; he
must also be able and willing to stand
up for his own rights and those of his
country against all corners, and he must
be ready at any time to do his full share
in resisting either malice domestic or
foreign levy.
Patriotism should be an integral part
Of our every feeling at all times, for
it is merely another name for those
qualities of soul which makes man in
peace or in war, by day or by night
think of his duty to his fellows, and Of
his duty to the nation through which
their and his loftiest aspirations must
find their fitting expressions.

GOOD RESOLUTIONS.

New Years day ought to come about
six weeks before Christmas, for nothing
moro requires good resolutions than
Christmas shopping. We suggest the
following:
Do your shopping early: early in the
morning if possible as well as early in
the season.
Do not get presents and then decide
where to send them; first put yourself
in the place of the person who is going
to get the present and think what he
or she would like to get.
The postal service is finding it hard to
handle ordinary mail. Do not add to the
burden by sending bulky presents or
packages carelessly tied and directed. !,
Christmas is holiday of joy; it you
permit it to become burden there is
something wrong with you or your pres
ents or the people who expected them.
Remember that many countries are
still starving this winter; return for
once to your wartime habit Of dealing
generously by the Red Cross, the Near
East Relief and other relief organiza-
tions Of tested honesty and competence.

THE KLU KLUx KHAN.

where Negro banks are opening all over
the country, despite all the opposition
they can offer, while in the southland

they spend too much time looking after
