DEFINITION OF PATRIOTISM
RATHER PULLING

By r. C. S.
Much has been said and written
about patriotism, as being saluting
of and respect toward the country's
flag. I stop to ponder just what
was patriotism before the flag was
conceived? If memory of history has
not failed me, a host of patriots
were banded together and promoted
to successful enc a rebellion
against unbearable conditions. Yet
these same patriots were under the
allegiance of the British flag.
Now if the flag is the true emblem
OF patriotism, can some one eX-
plain how our forefathers (for mine
did were called patriots, because
they rebelled against their flag.
And if patriotism is so expressed,
why are school children and in
Structors being compelled to be-
come patriotic and the bankers,
utilities heads and employees and
steel magnateS not compelled to
show their patriotism?
The bankers already have been
found wanting in the. public trust
placed in them; at least, a great
many of them have,
The utilities serve in one way or
another practically every citizen in
the country and they should realize

was concession to Baer. As con-
cession to Louis, the amount of soft
bandage permitted was II feet in
stead of six, two inches in width in
stead of one and one-half, and the
amount of surgeons tape used to
hold the bandage in place was six
feet instead of two.

benefits I have received and seen
other people receive.
In my estimation, President
Roosevelt is the most human Presi-
dent we have had in the last SO
years. He has spent money, OF
course, but to what better cause
could it go than to keeping the poor
from starving? That is a New Deal
complete. Big business men fay
him for not balancing the budget
and yet they would be tickled to
death to raise it to plunge us into
war.
President Roosevelt has waged
one Of the greatest wars of any,
that of depression versus poor man.
He has won at, when you stop to
consider. it, a mighty small cost.
I want to say one of the most
wonderful things this country has
experienced in long time is the
CCC.
I have been a member of the
CCC. Any person who has seen
those boys come into those camps
will say with me that some of them
were the most forlorn and under
nourished boys they ever had seen.
When I left camp those same boys
were healthy, strong, and had a far
different outlook on life.
[ say, follow the New Deal and
no depression in the future or go
back to the old deal and a depres-
sion every few years.

AMERICA NEEDS ARMY OF
TOLSTOYS, HE THINKS

By Hiram Lackey
America needs an army of Count
Leo Tolstoys to reveal the inherent
responsibility of social justice.
In this high calling President
Roosevelt is striking hard ticks for
the Master. His plan is to avoid
teaching the people faster than
they can learn. He allows the
people to lead. This is why we
should send him letters urging him
to jump to the left. We should
exert our influence to the utmost.
Big business does While we wait,
many precious lives are ruined.
In meeting our need for social
education. one American has reached
the height of genius. This honor
belongs to wonderful combination
a physician, psychologist and a
gentleman, DR.. Townsend. His
medicine works miracles on the
minds of men. He teaches us how
to sail against the winds of selfish
ness
Father Coughlin is doing a world
of good, indirectly. Often / dis
agree with him, yet I am forced to
admit that he is much nearer right
than he is given credit for being.
But who has done more than
Jesus to popularize social truth?
His practical methods of long-term
faith scarcely need defending.
The fearless priest puts the
American press on the spot. If the
press was fair or wise, it would beat
Father Coughlin to telling the truth.
1t would not become angry and re-
veal its obvious sympathy for I'M
American ideals.
All the money of the Mellon
family would not. properly reward
Haywood Broun for the service
which he renders America. Let him
continue TO expose such tools as
Hoover and the nine old men who
labor to make injustice respectable
and eternal.

OTHER OPINION
Social Security
Marion ChronicleJ

AS the time approaches when the
first effective part of the social Sc
curity program goes into effect with
its cumulative tax load, it is ap-
parent that the first result will be
to further mechanic industry.
This obviously will be followed by
curtailed employment. The act in
itself provides the greatest incentive
business ever had to further
mechanic itself.
While most business men realize
that the gradual Specialization of this
nation has brought about problems
that relate to provision for the aged
not many will agree that the princi-
pie of the act which is soon to take
effect is sound.
Among other things, it provides
for unemployment insurance, thus
encouraging dependence, rather than
independence and competence, on
the part Of the worker.

leicester C. Davis, Administrator
Through the benefit payment de-
vice-paid to the farmer as another
part of the price he received for his
crops-tile farmer was able to set
aside a few acres temporarily into
soil-conserving and erosion-pretent-
ing crops, to establish rotations and
thus to help restore the natural part
of the wealth Of his farm, the soil
itself. Then through the higher return
for his crops he is beginning to be
able to renew and repair the i'm
provements and machinery on his
farm and restore the efficiency Of
that part Of his farm plant.

CIMPLICITY is the key of Clothe- Child.
~ Busy men and women may do this part OF
their Christmas duty by simply calling The Times,
asking for Clothe- Child and put themselves on
record.
Some restitution will continue long after pros
perity is restored.
The children are the innocent sufferers. Their
very innocence is their strongest appeal at this
season.

these innocents against the months to come, in
nourishng their confidence in mankind just lift the

A-True lavender is small

native to southern Europe, and
widely cultivated for its fragrant
flowers and for the Oil distilled from

rs there any better indication
l. of an upturn than the presence
on the road again of the travelling
salesman? And how the mental pic
ture Of that gentleman has changed
since the days when he was the SUD-
ject for humor and cartooning. The
travelling man of today is an alert,
well-groomed fellow who is up on
everything worth while and no nom
sense.
Take Grant Timmons of Will
Transport, Ind, for example. Grant
has been selling hosiery ever since
the war and more clean-cut young
man you would not expect to see.
He not only knows the hosiery busi-
ness forward and back, but he can
discuss social security, the latest
book, farming or what you will. He
interests me because he is one CT
those men with the nerve to take
on farm in addition to his regular
job.
Since selling hosiery is seasonal,
he bought himself some acres at
Wi'liamsport and started in with
Guernseys.
You have noticed, if you get
around, that many men have taken
on small farms as sidelines. In fact,
Secretary Wallace expressed some
alarm about it the other day. But
SO far there is no law against a city
man owning farm if he is willing
to take the risk.
There is one distinguished col
lege president who owns a farm on
which he makes nice profit every
year by raising turkeys and produc-
ing cream for the class trade in the
nearby city. He has his turkeys
dressed, wrapped in cellophane, and
done up in pretty pasteboard boxes.
The quality and the gesture toward
craftsmanship through the eye have
him make success of what is sup
posed to be a precarious business.

POETS

They have a hard time,

They send them here;
They send them there,
For nothing but the fame.
They never get a penny;
And fame-few get any.
But along the path they go

ID ETURNING to the subject of
~ statesmen, learned at the state
road-letting meeting that the high
way materials people are beginning
to breathe again. For a dozen years
Boyd Wells has beeen going up and
down the state selling cement and
when I ran into him among the
contractors he was actually smiling.
In his forties, Boyd still carries
his boyhood nickname. He took his
school and college activities so seri-
ously that upperclassmen dubbed
him prep" thinking of him as the
perpetual freshman. Well, he has
managed to keep most of his youth
full bouyance, which is an asset to
a salesman.
What is not commonly known
about craftsmanship is that books
are sold just like shoes or hats
Every season in Chicago the sales
men of the publishing houses arrive
with their samples. They take rooms
along a corridor and lay out on
tables what is new in novels, biog-
raphy and so on. Often the book
has no contents, not yet being
manufactured. just the cover and
the jacket. Sometimes it will con-
tain a few chapters. The booksell-
ers from the Middle West stroll
through the exhibit and from the
offerings of the tables give their Or
ders.
Some Of the sn.artest book buyers
for the retailers are women. They
seem more often to know instinc-
lively what will 60 and what will
not.
NF course, the statesmen for the
" publishers call on the trade
individually, but this mass market
ing for new season saves the time
and money of all concerned. It
must be rather disillusioning to the
young author whose notion is that
the product of his genius is placed
before the public unsullied by the
hands of ordinary commerce.
But publishers as well as authors
have to eat.

thus benefit the country as whole.
The steel workers fabricated our
instruments of war and protection
and thus are responsible to the
country directly and should be
compelled to express their patriot
ism as well as the school kids and
teachers.
Perhaps more patriotism could be
expressed by less demonstration to-
ward promoting charity to the more
unfortunate of the citizens of this
great country.
Fortunately, I am not at present
in this latter class and try to prac-
tice patriotism by doing what can
in my own limited way. How many
