Show FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT LOYAL Here aro a few notes by E. E. Har-riman Har-riman of Tho Vigilantes which are worth reading, as they bear on treachery treach-ery in this country: - It is a good time for the foroign born In our land to sit down and calmly calm-ly review the reasons for their coming hero. They may find theroin the germ of a reason for loyalty now that they are here. The thug of India will not slay one with whom he has eaten salt No such consideration holds with the Teuton Teu-ton spy, evidently. The great American mule has been ridden a long time, with slight protest, but now it would seem that the spur rowels have channeled hiB tough hide and touched a nerve. Thank God for that much and here's hoping those spurs hurt worso with every Jab. He may buck. Pruning never injures a tree, but aids it in achieving a good root hold and greater fruitage. When the burrowing bur-rowing gopher girdles the tap-root, that Is a different matter. It Is no longer long-er an external matter. Suppose we protest the taproot of Hb'erty, loyalty, right now, by the tapping of hidden enemies. That Is good, but If we forget for-get they are again with us, hidden, scheming, sly, without conscience. Make sure for all time with bettor protection pro-tection teaching and practicing patriotism. pa-triotism. Long ago I chanced to hear an Irish contractor answer a man who abused America and told hom much bettor the old country was. "Well, now!" said Pat. "Who th hell's a-holdin' ye here, annyhow? There's Just as many ships goln' as comln'. We'll thry t bear up undther the loss av ye." |
