that no injustice has ever been done
by us. Criticism is necessary-but
the CONSTRUCTIVE not the De-
STRUCTIVE kind.
Is patriotism to be an indiscrim-
mating emotion which insists that we
stand when the National Anthem is
played, that we salute the Flag, but
which does not demand that we go
to the polls and vote when some inn
portant measure is being determined?
We have need rather for an intelli-
gent patriotism which endeavors to
see our country's faults and to make
an earnest effort to correct them.
With the ideals of our great states
men behind us and the hope and Wis
ion Of a better world before US, let
us strive for that Gay which Tennyson
has described as a time:
When the war drum shall throb no
longer
And the battle flag be furled
In the Parliament Of man-the
Federation of the world"

ORPHANAGE TO GET CAR
: FROM SUNfMERHiLL ASSOC.

HIGHLAND, Dec. 6--The churches
of the Summerhill association will
donate solid carload of products to
the Baptist orphanage at Hapeville
this year. On December IA a local
car will start this way from Dawson,
stopping at Sasser, Parrot, Weston
and Richland. Another car viii be-
gin at Benevolence and take up the
donations along the G. +. q A. line
between Benevolence and Richland.
Another car will start from Omaha
and pick up the supplies from Lou
vale, Lumpkin, Union and other
points west.
These three cars will be brought
into Richland on the night of Dec.
IA and consolidated with the prod
ucts donated at Richland. Enterprise,
Macedonia and other heighboring
churches of this community, making
one full car of products. Anything
that can be used will be accepted and
appreciated.
Last year large bundle of kindl-
ing was given by enc citizen here;
others gave wheat, coffee, sugar, SUI
gar cane, peas, peanuts and, in fact,
little of every kind of product
grown in this section of the state
was contributed A number of PEG
pie in the towns who did not have
farm products brought beautifully
Of staple groceries at the stores and
contributed them.
No contribution is too small, even
a penny's worth of black pepper, or
a nutmeg. The committee in charge
of the ears has particularly emphasiz-
ed the fact that no contribution IS
too large, and that if some liberal
hearted citizen should take notion
that he wants a car to himself to fill
up the car will be Forthcoming.

TEACHER TELLSOF
AMERICAN IDEALS
Miss Rushin Reads Notable Paper
Before High School Stu
dent Body

american Ideals, the second pa
per to be read in the high school in
the interest of education week, was
heard Tuesday morning when Miss
u Srtlc Rushin gave a splendid talk
on the ideals which upheld America
in the part taken in the world war,
and which still upholds this nation
as the greatest factor for altruism.
The paper in full follows:
q ouaMidcmwfy cmfwy cmfwy mfr
AMERICAN IDEALS.
1t has been said that "the United
States went into the world war to
gain nothing and that we were high
~ successful"
If by nothing" we mean mat rial
gain--the saying is quite true; but
did we not gain higher conception
of our duty as nation and trucr
vis:cHrof what America may mean
to the other nations Of the world
Let us hope that this is the case.
What are our ideals as a nation?
one may ask: What is the differ
ence in the principles of our gov
eminent which has made our ideal
the admiration Of the world?
An editor in a nearby city has CIV
en- US the following:
The American ideal grows and
changes but son> of the fundamental
assertions of this ideal have been uni
versal education, liberty, government
by consent of the governed, freedom
of religion, separation of church and
state, equality before the law, oppor-
tunity for all, and friendship and
generous aid to mankind"
Surely there is something in Amer
ica's past history in the lives of her
heroes and statesmen which has help
ed to make these conditions true.
In the beginning this country was
settled by men who came for an ideal.
to found homes, where unmolested
they might worship God according to
their conscience. Of course there
were some who came for adventure,
some to explore the country for gold
but the little band of humble men and
women who came to Plymouth so
long ago has given America ideals
worth striving for.
One of their brave leaders express
cd their determination in the words,
1T is not with US as with men whom
small things can discourage"
They have passed; but their ideals
have gone on ever since. There are
Nm hatfor o,,ae IN +la ,yarId tadax,
Then after hundred and fifty years
the descendants of these same brave
men dared to revolt from the policy
of the English king, George liz a
policy which had for its foundation
the belief that the colonies existed
for the good of the mother country,
to be regarded as mere sources of
profit. And when this same king in
sisted that the colonies should help
pay for a war which had been recent
ly fought--partly in their behalf but
principally to humble a rival--they
resented the fact that they were tax
ed without beisg represented in
England's parliament.
Taxation without representation
is tyranny were the words of James
Otis in his speech against the Writs
Of Assistance, and these words be-
came famous as the battle-cry of the
Revolution.
Another young lawyer of Virginia
with an ideal, in his famous words
Give me liberty or give me death, =
voiced theJ sentiment of hundreds
of Americans at that time.
Then such men as Otis, Henry,
John and Samuel Adams were con-
