Show When the Flag Looks Good. "I have been In countries where the laboring man had meat once a year; sometimes twice Christmas and Kast-er. Kast-er. And I have seen women carrying upon their heads a burden that no man would like to carry, and at the same time knitting busily with both hands. And those women lived without with-out meat; and when I thought of the American laborer I said to myself; "After all, my country Is the best In the world.' And when I come back to the sea and saw the old flag flying In the air, It seemed to me as though the air from pure joy had burst Into blossom." Robert O. Ingersoll. |
