The man who does not advertise his

to wear knee breeches and a queue.

What Do We Mean?

Most people speak almost rever-
emily of Our Country" We all
sing MY Country 'Tis of Thee,
with great enthusiasm. What do
we mean by such expressions OF
our supposed patriotism.
Are we thinking of the service
which we owe our country, of the
love we have for it, or are we think
ing only of the protection which
our country can afford us, only OF
the personal benefits we may derive
from it? Are we thinking of what
we may do for our country, or Ct
what our country may do for us.
Our duty to ourselves as well as
our country demands positive as
well as negative action. We must
be constructive, as well as passive
supporters of everything good in
Jul uOulS SOtIlIi dblbS, 10 wv HouiN
fulfill the obligations incumbent
upon us as citizens of this great
republic.
Do we exercise our right 10
vote, and when we do vote, do we
always place intelligence, efficiency
aud patriotism in government
ahead of every other consideration?
In other words, do we feel an in
dividual responsibility for our
government-my government
We cant delegate our response
bility in government. to someone
else any more than we can dele
gate our responsibility in any
matter. here is no substitute for
individual interest in government
and individual responsibility for
government.
The greatest duty of the banker
is not to loan himself to the service
of the community and help build
up an integral part of the country
in which we all take pride.
The greatest duty OF the business
man is not TO sell goods, but to
sell himself to the community and
discharge his obligation as a resi-
dent Of it.
The greatest duty of the profess
Slonal man is not to charge liberal
fee for his services, but to write on
the balance side of the ledger con-
structive service for the common
good.
The greatest duty Of every citi-
zen is to put his home community
first and thus perform a real service
for our country of which we sing
and speak with reverence.

Berlin-Evidence is accommodating
that the coming parliamentary cleo
lions in Germany are likely to bring
a swing to the right Municiple e.
lections have just been held in Pots
dam. the kaiser's old hangout. That
the German Nationalists should
come out on top was to be EXPECTED,
for Potsdam is one of the fortresses
of German reaction. But the fact
that the Socialists pOlled only 1900
votes, while in 1919, at the previous
elections, they pOlled 9346, is an IN
mlstakable sign of the times.
Among the candidates nominated
by the Communists for the reichstag
is the Robin Hood Of Germany, Max
HOelz, who led the March uprising
of 1921 in central Germany and who
has been sitting in Jail ever since
The Socialists of Hanover seem to
have realized at the last moment
that the workers would desert them
in masses if they were to place at
the head of their ticket a man as
badly compromised as Gustav Noske,
who crushed the workers rising after
the 1918 revolution. His candidacy
was. revoked at the last moment.
Germany has its Teapot Dome
scandal in the form of the Hitler
LudendOrff trial at Munich. At least
as far as front page publicity in the
German newspapers is concerned.
Adherents tc the monarchial sys-
tenn admit they have been plotting to
overthrow the republican govern
ment They confess that, although
they were officers of the republican
army, trey never thought of defend
ing the republic. But nothing hap
pens to them. The enor of the pro-
ceedingS is such that the issue is not
whether men shoCld be punished for
attempting to overthrow the republic,
but rather wrether they should be
punished for not choosing the right
moment for so doing.
AS if to emphasize the fact that
Everything goes" in Bavaria pro-
vided it is monarchistic, but that
anything prO-republic must be sup
pressed. the Bavarian government
has arrested the venerable Munich
professor, DR.. Ludwig Quidde, dem
ocrat witr a small "d' and a cham
pion of pacifsm and naturalization
since long before the world war.
The charge against him is treason.
His offensa consisted in publishing an
article in a Berlin paper in which he
pointed out that the French govern
ment was gathering a lot of material
concerning illegal mcnarcristic Orga-
nizatiOns in Germany which were Sc
cretly accommodating arms and were
planning a war of revenge upon
France.
The aged professor, a sort Of Gene
Debs of the pacifist movement of
Europe, will probably be incarcerated
for weeks before trial A storm cf
protest is breaking out in the work
ing class and democratic press of

STAY AWAY FROM

the name of his home city changed;

and have been out of employment for
ever three months now. AS there are
between 10000 and $4,000 out Of

The eastern press has been flood

ing pictures the wonderful opportun-
tiles that await people in Los Anga-
les. So often and systematically
have these articles appeared that
th-ir very force of repetition made
me, like other tens Of thousands, pack

Of circumstances, but am even a

New York because most of them adj

This mans unfortunate experience
may serve to warn other workingmen
in the east of the actual situation in
this part of the country, and so keep
them from leaving jobs there and
spending their last money to join the
ranks of the unemployed in Califor-
MIA.

the words you yourself spoke at
your interview with that great and
good man, Eugene V. Debs. You
there said: Il hope you wont COM

HOLLAND CAPITALISTS
STARVE SCHOOLS TO
BUILD FIGHTING SHIPS
BY PAUL HOVER
Federated Press Staff Correspondent

Federated Press STAN correspondent
THE HAGUE, Militar-
ism is to be paid for at the expense
of education, in Holland, according
to the plans of the government to
increase the Dutch navy.
The money for the increase is to
be found by reducing the educational
apparatus of the country. Seven
years of school are required for ev-
cry Dutch child The government
proposes to reduce the number to
five or even fuor years. While at
present children are required to en-
ter school at 6, they would hereafter
enter at z, and quit at II years,
while formerly they were obliged to
&c until their 18th year.
The plan if carried out will mean
that the children Of the workers will
be Disseminated against. Rich fami-
/ lies will send their offspring to pri-
vate schools or engaged private tut
ors, while working class families will
have only the public schools with
their reduced curriculums available.
The trade unions of Holland and
the political labor parties are fight
ing the proposal.
