Show the United States of America or curtail the loyalty of other people. We are also of the opinion that salutes to the flag, given upon any basis except the personal inclination in-clination of the individual, are worthless monkey-motions that can be feigned by the rankest traitor in the land. Standing some distance from the scene of the controversy we have some difficulty in determining whether whe-ther the little children, or the officials offi-cials who barred them from school, are the worst examples of Americanism.

Waiving the ovbious ignorance of those who attempt to be so positive posi-tive about the 'law of God," we i wonder what good will be accomplished accom-plished by keeping a handful of children out of school, where they might learn more about their own country and gradually acquire a better understanding of what a salute to the flag means. Naturally, there is a tendency on the part of super-patriots to flout what they consider the misguided mis-guided views of ignorant people, but we fail to see w-here the attitude atti-tude of these children will injure |
