Thls feeling comes to us la the nerve-racking days of war; this we call patrio tism. But there is a deeper, a finer, a more' beautiful meaning to the word. ! This deeper mean ing constitutes peace-time patrio tism, the patriotism or the common-place; it is this that actuates us when there is no great' crisis to urge us on; it isthis force that impels us to do our duty, unnotic ed ' and perhaps scorned! by our fellow citizen, who ' have not grasped the hidden meaning of the i word patriotism: it. is this spirit ' that dwells " In us : and is manifested in the dally -life of every true and loyal American. He, who would be, in' very truth, a patriot, will provide for the material well-being of his family. But when a citizen has fufilled this duty, he is by no means relieved from all other ob ligations. There - are obligations to his government, to his country, to his ' flag. ' ' "- . , J To be a good citizen of , our great republic, one must have an education; 'but it must contain more . than mere book-learning. Keeness of mind or subtleness' of intellect In no way makes up for those great" solid qualities which mark a masterful people. ' Sell restraint, self-mastery, common sense, individual ' responsibility. courage and resolution, all these must be found in a patriot. i The patriot, to whom the wel fare of the nation Is , his greatest concern, will ' acquaint himself with the existence and extent of every evil,' will acknowledge it as such and will endeavor to crush it. He will not be . local or sect ional, but Will be broadly Ameri can, working for the best interests of the whole nation. J It is the duty of every Ameri can to help Americanize in every way, in Speech, in political ideas and principles, . in customs . and habits and in thought and action, those- immigrants -who .settle among us. . We ' must say unto them, wrongly titled "the scum of the earth'. . . ; "Help us to father a nation, strong In the Cdmradship - of an ; equal - .. birth, . !.. . In the wealth of the richest bloods of earth". . . .. , ; But it Is by far more necessary that those ' who aTe by - birth Americans do 'not throw "away their birth-right, ty failing to take their place at the polls, by disre garding., lawfc and with .incrpdible and contemptible folly forsake the liberty for which our "forefathers sacrificed their lives and for tunes. It is, therefore, ;the duty of every American to vote and to vote intelligently, and to uphold the laws of oar nation The patriot has no room in his heart for race or class hatred.

Patriotism is not merely an emotion . but a responsibility and a duty, which people should feel keenly. I 1 1 4 To be patriotic we must believe in the government Under which we , live, and be willing to defend our, constitution and; flag. It ia unnecessary for us to-wait until wartimes to show our patriotism, as there are many opportunities to serve? our country in times of peace. j f- ; Every country has a great many enemies that , do noi openly de clare war, hut fight I? secret.

"It is -especially 'expedient that f they exercise I their " right since they have so milch power in the control of governmental af fairs.

Every Ameri can, citizen should love our flag "The Stars and Stripes". Nor is any honor too great .to pay ' to this flag. The patriot, who looks ahead, and considers 1 the future of his country, as well - as the past - and present. realizes the necessity , of conserving our national resources. He also realizes the advantages of thrift and economy. .

Ballston, Oregon. Third Prize ' De Thou once said "'After what I owe to God, nothing should be" more sacred than the love and respect owe . my country". Through ' patrotism nations are built and preserved. : It is most conspicuous in time of war . but is just as essential in time of peace. Rome did not tall beeause of out side -enemies. Coesar and the later -emperors had driven back the barbarian hordes, time ! after time, until Rome held control over all the civilized world. It was during a. loag period of peace that the Empire-began to crumble; and this started from within as a re-; suit of v the decline of national pride and from corruption in pub-! lie of flee. :" i - Tho peace-time patriot has an equally big and .notable duty to perform as the hero of battle. The dangers: that threaten our coun try in time' of peace are just as de 8tructiTe as war; so if America is to live true to her ideals her citi zens must give her 'their utmost devotion. It is our patriotic duty to stand firm -for all that tends to. raiee yte moral tone of . oar - peo ple: good schools, a - wholesome social life, a fair and honest solu tion to industrial" problems, - law enforcement, aad respect for the flag. All these -things which are play lag a vital iart In controlling the - destiny of our nation can be fostered only through Intelligent i use of -the ballot, and by the whole-hearted ; support - of all Americans. ' ' ; -.! Patriotism does not - atop with a mere love for our native soil, it embraces - a love- of truth ' and ! a sense of duty toward .one's fellow men. -Truthfulness has been the outstanding , characteristic of our greatest men, Washington attd Lincoln. If the political graft and Industrial warfare which are rock ing the foundations of our country are to be overcome, love of truth and fair .dealing with men must become the dominant notes in the character of every citizen. The crime which every one of us sees staring at him from the headlines of almost every newspaper is a reproach to oar national consci ence; therefore, .our Indignation should rise up against lawbreak ers, who are in reality traitors. and wolves dressed In sheep's clothing.

I; ; Though the youngest of the service clubs in Salem, the Lions club during the last year has pull ed Itself from a period of more or less inactivity to a -place where it can point with the' pride to the ac complishments of ' the organiza tion, chief of which, as far as pub licity and the general public Is concerned.; is' the erection of a large ' signboard in the auto camp grounds and' three highway- signs at the principal entrances to the cltjr. -Only members of the club can appreciate the growth of the organisation, not only in mem bership, but mental as well. This does not Imply that the club or its " members have been " Irespon- slble but that the organization is reaching a more mature standing and its Influence is being felt. . Believing that the signs erected by the club are the most practi cally and distinctive of any being maintained by other . clubs, the Salem jden is forwarding plans and specifications' to the international headquarters in an effort to have them adopted as a standard. Each sign is five .feet' acres, with the official emblem of the organiza tion painted In color on . a heavy galvanized sheet sphere, mounted on a wooden frame. The emblem is emblazoned on both sides of the sign.' The sign is about five feet from the ground, supported ; by heavy yposts. Beneath the emblem' is a placard calling attntion to the place pt. meeting, with a farewell greeting on the reverse side. One time patriotism requires as much real-heroism and self-sacrifice as men, are willing to display on the battlefield; but if Americans live up tojwhat their country rightful ly demands, it requires the best manhood that men can derelop and the highest- ethical stand ards that they . are - capable of reaching. j , j' James Rettie, ; f . : j Fossil, Oregon.
