said 5. Us Influence on - the popu-

perficial compared with the Influ-
ence of certain' books which have
taken years or centuries I to Im
press themselves . on the human
race, certain asacred books, for
instance, but it is a striking fact
that only the Bible and the , Ko
ran have ah ; indisputably larger
circulation than that of the latest

For 1 all these reasons and

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

Tho peace-time patriot has an
equally big and .notable duty to

dangers: that threaten our coun

' ' Oirganization of Seven
I Other Clubs in State
Growth' Is Shown By Local Den; Silverton Presented With
; Charter Saturday Wight ; Toledo and ' Independence
to ' Follow. . . T' ' "-.-!,. j . 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
