NSTIIL AMERICANISM

In another column. on this page OF
the current issue of The Ardmoreite.
we reproduce an article from the
pen of the editorial writer of the Enid
News. We call your attention to
this article, because we believe it to
be one of paramount interest, one
well worth the careful considera-
ton of every reader, man or wo-
man. of this paper.
The American people, taken as n
class, are intensely patriotic, but they
are careless. This has been proven
to the satisfaction of the folks at
home and TO the entire satisfaction
of every chap who yelled "hoch der
kaiser" and fought for the reign Of
autocracy throughout the world.
When the word went forth that the
United States. had entered the world
war. the millions who rallied to sus-
tain the honor of the Stars and
Stripes, proved the loyalty of the peo-
pie of the nation to the land of the
free. And, when the armistice was
signed and Johnny came marching
home" the manner in which the same
chaps who had kicked in with their
dollars and dimes proceeded TO forget
all about the deeds of glory of the
ones who had gone over the top. also
established the claim that we are a
nation of money grabbers.
We should, in our opinion cult
vate that spirit OF loyalty, that sense
of patriotism which will be found in
evidence every day in the week, every
week in the month, every month in
the year-the spirit OF patriotism
war, and there can be no better
means found for bringing about this
end, than TO begin in the schools.
1t is an old and true saying, that
"as the twig is bent the tree is in
clined," and if we follow the lead OF
other nations, through instilling into
the minds Of the growing generations
the truth. the axiom that America is
the greatest nation in the world. we
will be doing duty which we owe
ourselves to our friends and neigh
bors and to the children Of today
who are growing up and developing
into the ones who will constitute our
citizenry in coming years.

how can We exercise them if we do
not know what they are? How can
we know what they are if we do not

Spinners i'm Fall River
Threaten General Strike
Special D;spatch to The yr;b,n.

u
FALL RIVER, Mass, March 21.-A
general strike of spinning-room opera
tives in support of the striking doffers
is threatened in the mills here. Botn
the spinners and doffers' unions are af-
hliated with the United Textile Work
ers, and walkout of the spinners is
advocated by the union heads in order
to bring the manufacturers to terms.
A general strike was discussed a
week ago, when the strike leaders con-
s'dcred that the walkout of the doffers
would be sufficient to decide the issue.
strike leaders tonight expressed the
belief that strike by the rest of the
spinnlng-room help would be necessary
TO expedite settlement.
The strike already has closed some
OF the mills, and during the last week
tn tne production OF print cloth decreased
$4,000 pieces. The curtailment has
been entirely in print cloth, yarn goods
and MILLS manufacturing, these materi-
ais are the only ones so far affected.
Meetings OF the striking operative,
we're held to-day in all parts of the
city. Vice President Mcmahon of the
United Textile Workers charged that
union operatives in various mills were
being used to perform the work of the
striking doffers and that attempts were
being made to disrupt the forces of the
strikers.
