O This being Americanism and Na-tional Defense Week, .we are re-producing a splendid article on Page One, entitled "The Oldest Flag," which appeared in the cur-rent issue of the American Legion Auxiliary News. If your sense of patriotism has waned during the past few hectic years, it will do you good to read it. ; O It Is some consolation to know that Mr. Groundhog failed to see his shadow when he emerged from his hibernation Feb. 2. We can use a lot of nice spring weather from now on out. The farmers may need all this moisture, but what the ell : Is It good for in the mines? O Make a date with yourself for Feb. 25 and 26, and take yourself on a shopping trip to Bingham Can-yon stores during Dollar Days. O With the bonus fight over, The American legion now turns Its full attention to its many other obje-ctivesfor the welfare of every Am-erican citizen, outstanding among them being the prompt adoption of a universal service act to deprofit-iz- e war. """ National Commander Ray Mur-phy, immediately after the bonus legislation beeame law, issued a formal statement to the press, in which he made It quite clear that the Legion would turn its full ajrength to the passage of a uni-versal service act, together with adequate national defense and strict . neutrality laws all to preserve the peace and security of America. ,"No more wars, and no more bonus," the commander declares- - o Why Justice is so slow '!n Utah Is something we can't quite compre-hend. In Idaho the Van Vlack mur-- der was committed at a later date than the "Pig" Boyer carnival of death, and yet the Gem state has given Van Vlack the death penal-ty, while "The Pig" hasn't yet come to trial. Well leave it to you to figure out. O Citizens are requested NOT to have any fires during the firemen's ball. If you must have a conflagra-tion In your home, please post-pone It until after 2 a. m. Febru-ary 23. O The weekly newspapers of Utah arc to participate in a "front page" contest. The best-lookin- g front page of the year 1930 will entitle its publisher to a beautiful trophy. Members of the journalism class of the Brigham Young University will be the ' judges. Your editor believes that this paper would have " a fine chance to win the award, but it so happens that he is chair-man of the contest committee and it would look like "something rot-ten in Denmark" if The Bulletin carried off the prize. O What Is Success? It's doing the job the best you can, And being just to your fellow man; It's makinft. money, but holding friends, And staying true to your aims and ends; It's figuring how and learning why, And looking forward and thinking high, It's daring blithely the field of chance, While making labor a brave It's going onward despite defeat, And fighting staunchly but keep- - a ing sweet; It's being" clean and playing fair, It's laughing lightly at Dame Des-pair; It's looking up at the stars above, ; And drinking deeply of Life and Love; It's sharing sorrow and work and mirth, And making better this good old earth; It's serving, striving, through strain and stress, It's doing your noblest that's Suc-cess!

Hers was the loading fem-inine role and she gave a splendid interpretation of a generous, trusting hotel manager.

Emery Chairman, National Americanism Committee American Legion Auxiliary Though the United States of America is counted a young Nation, ours is the oldest flag, in continuous form, in the world. Dynastic and territorial changes have altered the flags of other nations; our flag holds the same form adopted at the beginning, with changes only in the num-ber of stars to correspond with the number of States in the Union, and for some years in the number of stripes. By reason of the number of States, the circle of stars in the field of blue has been succeeded by rows of stars. The thirteen original States are still symbolized in the thirteen stripes. Ours is the most beautiful flag in the world, not merely because of what it symbolizes, but because of the happy character of the design and Its effective blending of colors. Nothing upon the flag represent anything less than the union of stars; there is no heraldic legend, no dynastic coat of arms. Its design did not evolve, as has been claimed, from the Washington cont-of-arm- In part, It developed form colonial banners; in part, the design was original, and so unique that there is never difficulty in distinguishing it from other flags. In this day when so many people think they may achieve a repu-tation for knowing more than others by assailing every American In-stitution, character and tradition, it is not surprising that the American people have what they call "flag worship." The American people rever-ence the flag because of what it symbolizes. Those who ridicule that reverence, themselves have no reverence and in many cases no respect for the history, the ideals and the Institutions for which the flag stands. It is natural that those who have no love for the Nation should have no sentimental feeling for the flag of the Republic. In all the world's history there is no other chapter so heroic, so romantic, so inspiring as that which has woven itself about the Star-Spangl- Banner. We are perhaps too close to it to fully appreciate it In all the legendery and recorded history of the race, there is not an-other subject for an epic so compelling as this story. No struggle for nationhood compares in heroism, statesmanship or In with that of our American Revolution. Never were wiser or purer men Joined in so great a work as that of formulating our Federal Constitution, which Gladstone described as 'the greatest ever struck, at a given time, from the brain and purpose of man " The progress of the American people from the dav when there were but three million colonists thinly scattered along the Atlantic seaboard, to the time when America, with a continent-al domain, has become the richest and the happiest nation In the world, is a true story more absorbing than is to be found in the pages of fiction. The flag stands for all that made such progress, and such service to humanity, possible. The unbelievable growth of this Republic was no accident It was the result of the application of new principles which time has vindicated beyond the dreams of the founder. Today these principles are challenged by exponents of doctrines our forefathers re-jected when they framed our charter of liberty; doctrines which are the natural outgrowth of European systems and ideas. These doctrines are in no sense indigenous to America, but are imported from the Old World upon which the pioneers of America turned their backs when they launched upon the great adventure of the Revolution and made sure the safeguarding of its fruits through the adoption of our national Con-stitution. It will be a sad day for America when our people grow ashamed of patriotism; when they hesitate to yield to the flag that evidence of their reverence which bespeaks their love for it, and their willingness to fight and die for it, if need be. That flag will never be lifted in any project of conquest. It will never be raised in battle except in defense of the lives and liberties of American citizens. As a battle flag it need never be feared except by those who attack the Nation from within or without. One hundred and fifty-tigh- t years of the flag! Will It still be afloat when another one hundred and fifty years have come and gone? Will America follow, to quote the words of Washington, "the usual course of nations," through decay to ruin, or will it still be the emblem of the natiqn where men have a larger share of freedom, of safety and of happiness than they have elsewhere In the world? That answer is within ourselves. Our Government, from its very nature, will reflect the char-acter of its own citizenship, for it Is ours to make or mar the Republic. Whether ours is to remain the world's oldest flag, representing the largest measure of freedom, opportunity and progress anywhere enjoyed by man, depends upon whether we not only continue to cherish the emblem' of nationality, but stand ready to defend it against all enemies from without and within. We can lose our national heritage only through indifference to the duties and obligations of citizenship. In those who love the flag and the nation for which it stands, indifference to these duties and obligations is nothing short of treason. C.

PIRES THEN; RACE IS VERY CLOSE V Saturday, Feb. 2?. will see the close of the second period, and a material decrease in the voting power of all subscriptions, in the Scholarship campaign. VOTES DECREASE. It is hardly necessary to warn all candidates that they should turn in every possible subscription, new or renewal, before 9:00 o'clock Saturday night. For this hour marks the close of the second period, and . with its end comes a decided de-crease In the vote schedule. Wise candidates will bend every effort to see that all promised subscriptions ar"5 made good and reach the cam-paign office by 9:00 o'clock Sat. night. So close is the race today that naming the final winners is pure-ly a matter of outright conjecture. The big winner is going to be the candidate with the WILL TO WIN and the determination to outspeed competitors these last final days. LEADERS CLOSE There Is. one thing that today's vote score clearly reveals, and that is the undisputable fact that at this stage of the competition it is truly "anybody's race" and that the work done these final days will tell the tale. All the competitors in the race are in commanding positions and some "dark horse" may suc-ceed in leading the entire field at the race's end. LETS GO ... IT WON'T BE LONG NOW!
