TAKE OFF YOUR HAT, SON.

When you see the Stars and
Stripes displayed, son, stand up and
take off your hat.
Somebody may litter. It is in
the blood of some to deride all ex-
preston of noble sentiment. You
may blaspheme in the street and
stagger drunken in public places,
and the bystanders will pay no
attention to you; but if you should
get down on your knees and pray
to Almighty God or if you should
stand bareheaded while company
of old soldiers marched by with
flags flying to the breeze, some
people would think you were show
ing off.
But don't you mind! When Old
Glory comes along, salute, and let
them think what they please! When
you hear the band play "The Star
Spangled Banner" while you are in
a restaurant or hotel dining room,
get up, even if you rise alone; stand
there, and don't be ashamed of it
either!
For of all the signs and symbols
since the world began there is none

Postmaster General Hayes has
thrown bomb into the ranks of the
post-office inspectors with the state
ment that they were on the job to
assist the postmaster and not to
pick flaws in his work Right after
the Wilson election, it was the i'm
preston among the inspectors that
in order to hold their own jobs it
was necessary to see that something
was chung onto" every Republican
postmaster in the country in order
that he might be replaced with pie
hungry Democrats. After all the
Republican rascals had been ousted
and their places filled with the holy
outfit, our president went so far as
to issue an order tending to perpet-
late the holders in office. The
coming of an Inspector few years
ago was considered by the postoffice
employees as an infliction and was
awaited with dread and apprehen-
sion. The new order will cause the
visit of the inspector to be awaited
with pleasure as by his coming knot
ty kinks which develop in the COM
plicated machinery of the postoffice
can be undone and the betterment
and efficiency of the service dis
cussed with satisfaction to both the
postmaster and the public.

OPPORTUNITY.

Opportunity tapped at door
With chance for the brother
within;
He raped till his fingers were sore
And muttered: "Come on, let me in
Here is something know you can do,
Here's a hill that / know you can
climb
But the brother inside
Very quickly replied:
old fellow, haven't got time"
Opportunity wandered along
In search of man who would rise,
He said to the indolent throng:
Here's chance for the fellow who
tries
But each of them said with smile,
I wish | could do it, but Pm
Very busy today
And Pm sorry to say
That | really haven't got the time"
At last Opportunity came
To man who was burdened with
cares,
And said: 81 now offer the same
Opportunity that has been theirs.
Here's duty that ought to be done,
lisa chance if you've got the time
to take it.
Said the man with grin
Come along, pass it in!
I'll either find time or I'll make it."
"Of all the excuses thre are
By which this old world is accursed,
This haven't got time is by far
The poorest, the feeblest, the worst.
A delusion it is and snare;
If the habit is yours, you should
shake it,
For if you want to do
What is offered to you
You'll find time to do it, or make it.

Nights when all is quiet, pamph
let's are being distributed about
town calling attention to the beau
ties of the soviet form of govern
ment now on tap in Russia. The
stuff in the pamphlets is on par
with the stuff from which the dis
tributor is composed and the dark
est night is utilized to. circulate the
matter which cannot bear the light.
Hold-up men, dynamiters, house
breakers, purveyors of vice and red
faggers use the dark nights to ply
their nefarious trades. Snakes seek
the sunlight usually but this brand
of reptiles work in the dark. Even
the distributor is ashamed of his
dope and the hardest punishment
which could be meted out to such
would be to Danish him to the
country he is trying to extol. We
would advise the authorities to get
busy with the ark Beaufort and
issue a series of tickets to Russia
without the return privilege. Did
you ever see a Red that wasn't yell
low? ''.

other so full of meaning as the flag
of this country. That piece of red,
white and blue bunting means five
thousand years of struggle upwerds.
1t is the full-grown flower of ages
of fighting for liberty. 1t is the
century plant of human hope in
bloom.
Your flag stands for humanity,
for an equal opportunity to all the
sons of men. Of course, we have
not arrived yet at that goal; there
are many injustices yet among us,
many senseless and cruel customs
of the past still clinging to US, but
the only hope of righting the
wrongs of men lies in the feeling
produced in our bosoms by the sight
of that flag.
Other flags mean glorious past,
this flag a glorious future 1t is
not so much the flag of our fathers
as it is the flag of our children, and
of our children's children yet I'M
born. 1t is the flag of tomorrow
1t is the signal of the "Good Time
Coming. 1t is not the flag of your
king, it is the flag of yourself and
of all your neighbors.
Don't be ashamed when your
throat chokes and the tears come
as you see it flying from the masts
of our ships on all the seas or float
ing from every flagstaff of the Re-
public. You will never have a
worthier emotion. Reverence it as
you would reverence the signature
of the Deity.
Listen, son! The band is playing
the national anthem Star
Spangled Banner! They have let
loose Old Glory yonder. Stand up
and others will stand up with you

flag is from the pen of Albin M.

The Anti-Saloon League promised

The Anti-Saloon League promised
everything and has absolutely de-
livered nothing. Besides they are
getting well paid for it and notwith-
standing that the condition they
sought has arrived, the collection
plate is still on the move. In con-
nection with the prohibitionists they
promised to make the country dry
and everyone therein teetotalers
Instead of all this they have bred
moonshiners, law breakers, grafters,
bootleggers and blind piggers, and
have turned loose on the public an
army of enforcement agents, (so-
called) whose duty it is to perse-
cute and hound the people out of
their constitutional rights and make
criminals of those not so inclined.
Long haired men and short haired
women reformers are Fostering the
life out of public officials with this,
that and the other don't and each
and every poster is being paid for by
hard cash. 1t will be a sorry day for
the professional reformer when the
condition they purpose to bring
about is an actual fact. They will
be out of job. By that time,
however, they will have something
else to prohibit.

There are too many people who
evidently still are of the opinion
that good towns are merely a mat
ter of chance.
Nothing could be more remote
from the truth. Good towns are
made by the toll and cooperation
of far-seeing citizens.
You can sit down in your rocking
chair and wish from now until the
crack of doom that your town would
be progressive, and it will do no
good.
The only way that you can make
your town what you would like TO
have it is to get off your coat and
collar and help those who are work
ing along similar lines.
And don't forget for an instant
that there is as much competition
between towns these days as there
is between merchants, and that the
town that makes the improvements
is the town that is going to attract
new residents, new industries and
get ahead.
There is nothing mysterious about
the secret of successful town build
ing. Examine the history of any
town that has progressed, and you
will find that a group of men who
had the courage of their convictions.
and were not afraid to take a
chance, have been the ones who
have brought it to pass. Let's go!

years in Russia, much of the time
in relieving the distressed says that
those who have not experienced the
conditions there cannot appreciate
them. He said one meal week in
America would be infinitely better
than what the Russian poor were
forced to put UP with. Prison in
America would be far better than
freedom there The cost of salt is
more than paid for our sugar. Of
wood or other fuel there is practic-
ally none for the poor. People
live in houses that are unheated and
the winters there are very severe.
There is no mirth, no laughter. The
people go about seemingly resigned
to their surroundings, and with no
hope for anything better in their
faces. 1t is very sad, pitiable
condition of things. And still there
are those who are advocating for
America the Russian form of gov
eminent. We have people, citizens
of our own country, who believe
it is the proper system of govern
ment and who recommend it to us.
Those who have been there have an
elegant sufficiency of the Russian
brand of government but some here
feel so favorably disposed towards
the soviet government that they are
utilizing the dark nights to anony-
mously spread the literature trying
to induce others to partake of some
thing which they have not CUTS

Railroad Representatives Declare Ac-
tion Means Drastic and I'M
perative Revision Of Carriers
System OF Buying Equipment.

Washington Railroads of the coun-
try will be prohibited from buying
equipment from companies in which
they or their officers are interested, as
the result of the veto on December 80
by President Wilson of bill to delay
further the operation of such pro-
hibitory provision in the Clayton anti
trust act. The last Of three separate
twO-year suspensions of the prohibit
tory section expired December 81, at
midnight
The president, In announcing his
veto through message to the senate,
declared the railroads had been given
several extensions of time to prepare
for observance OF the law and that no
adequate reasons had been presented
for further postponement of its OPP
Grafton.
Railroad representatives, on learning
of the presidential veto, which over
rode a six-to-four recommendation Of
the interstate commerce commission
that the bin be approved, declared
failure to suspend further the oper-
alton of the Clayton act provision
would mean a drastic and immediate
revision of carriers system Of buying
equipment, The contention also was
made by the railroad representatives
that the required change would add
hundreds of thousands of dollars to
the cost of railroad operation,
President Wilson in his veto message
said that the principle OF prohibiting
railroads from being both buyers and
sellers of their railroad supplies was
sound, and that with the Interstate
commerce commission prepared to en-.
force the law by preparation Of regu-
lations he could not consent to further
delay.
