There Is only room for one flag in that ia the Stars and Stripes. There one language and that is the language the United States.

FLAG DAY. Tomorrow is Flag Day. The day gives every American citizen an opportunity to renew his loyalty to the republic for which the Stars and Stripes stand. Allegiance to the flag calls for more than passive good will, it demands an active interest in national affairs and devoted effort to realize the ideals of oar democracy to combat sedition and any kind of force which seeks to destroy the country, and to protect and further the best interests of the United States at all times. . This is easy to realize when war has aroused us and welded us together with but a single aim the safety and welfare of our country. As Rear Admiral Chester commented a year ago when Old Glory was marching into the trenches in Frailce: "It is a matter of significance that the same American paterfamilias who, a few months ago. smiled when his children sang 'Star Spangled Banner,' now singb that national anthem with a grim appreciation of a part, at least, of what that banner stands for." But in peace times we are apt to leave the country's . welfare in the hands of a few officials and to sink back into the exclusive contemplation of personal interests. It is therefore a fortunate thing that the most, important patriotic service at present coincides exactly with individual gain. The present movement to develop thrift as an enduring American trait is vitally necessary to the stability and prosperity of the United States. Every citizen can do his part by saving systematically a part of his earnings before spending a cent of the remainder, and placing it in a safe investment such as War Savings Stamps. They pay a high rate of interest and besides directly aid the government in carrying out its post-war work, and lay the foundation for the buyer's financial independence and success. It is to the highest personal interest of each citizen to throw himself as wholeheartedly into the National Thrift Campaign as he would into any other national campaign against an outside foe. Loyalty to the flag demands that we do our utmos; to preserve in freedom, safety and prosperity the country which we love. Let us resolve today to achieve our own independence, safety and prosperity by steadily practising intelligent thrift and in so doing live up to our allegiance to Old Glory.

THE SYMPATHETIC STRIKE. There is a determination manifested by the public that the sympathetic 6trike shall not succeed. It causes injury so-widespread and so out of proportion, to any good that it may bring to any party on whose account the strike is called, assuming that the party named were wronged, that it cannot be justified. It is un-American and unnecessary. It is a two-edged sword that works harm to the striker as well as to the employer, but the greatest objection to it is that it does grevious injury to people who know nothing of the original cause of disturbance and cannot if they would give any relief. It was the so-called sympathetic strike that tied up Winnipeg. The great body of workers in that city had no just reason for quitting their work. There was no justification for making the householder suffer for food and drink because the metal workers wanted a 44-hour week. Why should policemen, sworn to protect the people against riots likely to follow in the wake of a strike, join in the strike, or the firemen stop giving protection to the city from fire? Was it not dastardly that men engaged in supply the community with water should shut off th supply and that all business activities should be paralyze to force adjustment of the dispute between workers in the metal trades and their employers? Take the strike that the president of the Commercial Telegraphers Union has called- It was precipitated, as we all know, because a few telephone girls in Atlanta

PETEY Dill

Go As Far Aa You Like Petey. By C. A. V01GHT

Ga., claimed the management were dismissing operative: for Joining the union. The merits of that Qispute are hot fully known. Claims made by the union are denied by the company. But that is neither here nor there- The fact is that such a trivial matter never ought to have gone beyond the telephone exchange in Atlanta. If all parties had acted in a spirit of fairness it would have been adjusted long ago. The channels provided by th; government for arbitration of such disputes were open to both parties. But right or wrong, the organization of telegraphers has no business to attempt trying up commercial wire communications of the entire United States on account f it. This calling out of men every time some local troublo arises does the union more harm than good. It alienates public sympathy and causes members to lose much valuable time. If, for instance, a plumber or an electrician is to be called from work every time a baker or a waiter or somebody else goes oh strike, he is likely to be i&lh more time than he puts in at work. The sympathetic strike is on a par with th political strike, which, of course, has no place in our democratic country. It serves no good purpose for labor to lay off work one day or five days to protest the conviction of a man for violating the law. Courts are constituted to administer justice. If they are to be coerced by labor we might as well give up our form of government and let the soviet rule- So, if the sympathetic 6trike is to have a place in the economic program of the nation, organized labor will resolve itself into an overhead controlling body of men whose will will be imposed upon the industrial and commercial world by virtue of the unified force it exercises, and thus we shall have established here, in spite of our constitution, a government not of the people, by the people, and for the people, but of the union, by the union and for the union.

HELP THE BABIES. More babies die in hot weather than ia any other period of the year.

Hot weather is undeniably hard on babies, but the majority of them can be kept alive and well by proper care of the milk which is fed to them. Milk must be pure to start with, and must be kept in a cool place if it is to be fit for the baby to drink The containers and bottles must be immaculate. Flies must be guarded against as if they were disease itself, for they bring germs with them on wing and foov. There is no greater field for generosity and helpfulness than in this matter of the care and feeding of child ren, especially in hot weather. In every community it should be a labor of love and a matter of pride to see that there are health stations placed with sufficient frequency to insure that every mother and every baby may have the advantage of good, pure milk, of helpful advice, and medical aid if necessary. At this season there is no need for any woman to feel that the end of Red Cross work means an end to helpful activity. There are babies everywhere who will die this summer if someone does not help.

ANOTHER BLAT FROM HERRON. Professor George D. Herron. disciple of free love and herder of affinitie.-, continues ardent in his admiration of President Wilson whom he evidently regards as a kindred soul. In his latest work he says of the president: He is revolutionary beyond anything his words reveal, beyond anything his contemporaries have discerned. As contrasted with America's president, the parliamentary leaders of Germen socialism, are medieval reactionaries " In this connection it must be remembered that Pro fessor Herron is speaking of the president in a Jaudatory way. He himself is opposed to air existing institutions and he is hailing the president as one of his own kidney. Apparently there is only this difference between them: President Wilson went to Europe voluntarily and despite public protest, whereas Herron fled there as a result of public protest against his immoral and outrageous con duct.

In announcing tho Boy Scout week. Mr. McAdoo said in part: "The future of the nation depends, of course, upon its youth. The fathers and mothers of American boys will be gravely derelict in parental duty and In national obligation if they fail to give their hearty support, moral and financial, to this great American Boy Scout movement. Not only is every Boy Scout given useful knowledge and training which equips him better for the battle of life itself, but there are inculcateJ in him the duties, obligations, ideals and higher conceptions of American citizenship. "East year the Boy Scout movement is turning out thousands of better boyf and creating the finest types of future American rat riots. No cause should j appeal more strongly to the mothers and fathers of America than the Boy Scout cause. "The Boy Scouts raised several hundred million dollars in 'the Liberty loan and War Savings Stamps campaigns They did splendid work for the Reo Cross in its several national campaigns. They served the government in many other effective ways during the great world war. It is an organization .of gallant patriots and deserves the encouragement and support of the nation."
