nothing left for food. He had
to go hungry. At the end of
each day he put down on paper
all the sensations he experience

days he lived without food l do

ENFORCEMENT
OFFICER INDUCES In VERSE

An Oakley man has handed us 4
little poem, supposed to have been
written by prohibition enforce
ment officer of our village. We
have been requested to print the ef-
fusion as an example of dabbling in
free verse-and as an example of
the perplexities of an Officer:
Just think of it; summer has come
and summer has gone with its
wealth OF beauty;
Flowers are faded and gone AS it
were, the touch of decay is lay
ing on the beautiful life of
nature.
1t brings regret when we think
that God has given and God has
taken away;
He has made the sunshine but we
have not yet solved the myste-
ry of who makes the moon
shine.
If you want to guess what officer
it was wrote this, we can't help
that-but we're not going to tell his
name.

LOYAL CITIZENSHIP
delivered by Adonis Nelson
at Second ward M. l. A., Sun
day, January %, 1929

day. January %. 1929
Citizenship-the state of being
vested with the rights and privile-
ges of citizen.
The definition of citizen varies
with different countries. In mon
archy, resident of the place. In
republics it means generally reg
ular member of the community
subject to its ordinances, obligated
to its support and defence, and in
in return, entitled to it's protection
In the United States, the Federal
Government has defined citizenship
and those who are citizens. A cit-
zen here then ows allegiance to go,-
ernment, service and money by way
of taxation. In return the govern
ment guarantees liberty of person
and conscience, right of acquiring
and possessing property. security in
person, estate and reputation.
The right of direct share in gov
ernment is taken away from minors
insane, convicts and idiots. Every
one else who are citizens have Il
share in the running of the nation
Citizenship inthis country may be
acquired by birth or by naturaliza-
ton.
We have dual allegiance in the
United States. We may be a citi-
zen of the nation and also of any
one state. AS the nation is the
more universal, so il is of the grea-
comes nearer to it's peoples needs.
Let us discuss loyal citizenship
under three heads: "a To the ma
ton; (2)To the state; (3J To the
community.
l. AS to the Nation
Loyal citizenship has nothing to
do with war spirit and that only.
1t is a matter of life and work to
make the lives of others better. A
citizen is not soldier of fortune.
A citizen is a man who loves his
country. who believes in what his
nation stands for and who would
give his life if necessary that his
natioan might stand for righteous
ness.
This position of the citizen has
greatly since medieval
days, when fighting was his main
business.
The best of all possible govern
ments is that in which the last and
least citizen feels he is to blame or
10 be praised for all the govern
ment does. The worst is that in
which the largest number of citizens
10 not think it any concern OF
heirs.
The stronger the government, the
weaker are the people.
1t is not necessary to keep a
people from making mistakes, it is

.EiGHT-HOUR BUREAU DAY
is OPPOSED BY GOMPERS
Labor Chief Says Proposal I'M
perils Health of Government
Employees.

President Samuel Gompers OF the
American Federation Of Labor yester-
Gay issued a statement expressing the
hope that there would be no leng hen
ing of the Workday in government en-
ployment.
The statement says. regarding re-
port that government department heads
the Wo"kday of the government clerks,
that lit is astonishing that such "A pro-
posal should even be considered. and il
is to be hoped that the idea will be
abandoned"
1T would be most unjust to impose
upon government workers a workday OF
greater length than seven hours, now
in effect" the statement says. The
principal argument against any pro-
poSal TO lengthen the workday in gov
crnment employment is one of health.
Those who know conditions under
which most government clerks work in
WASHINGTON freely admit that consider
atoms Of health demand that the work
day be limited to seven hours. and 10
exceed that number of hours means "A
menace to health
"Gt is the earnest hope Of those who
have at heart the welfare of the work

and careful consideration Of what is
