" I am sorry that you do not wear a Hag every day and I can only ask you if you lose the physical emblem to be stlre that you wear it IN YOUR HEART; the heart o f America shall interpret the heart of the world.” President Wilson. N O T E S A N 1) C O M M E N T S TH E TRAITO R He hangs out a Hag from his home and his office. He always s ands up at “ The Star Spangled Banner,” In talks and discussions he rails at the Prussians And handles the kaiser in a virulent manner; He always is present at loyalty meetings, And up on the platform he pays for a seat, (The price doesn’ t matter, his profits are fatter, Since war gave him a chance for cornering wheat.) He talks with emotion of “ brave soldier laddies” Or “ noble young jackies who sail on the foam,” Then shoots up the price on potatoes and rice. And other things needed abroad and at home; He praises brave mothers who give their sons freely. Then soaks these same mothers for clothing and food. But if you cry “ traitor” this smooth speculator Will think you are one of a lunatic brood. Y et Benedict Arnold was only a piker Compared to the men who, amid all the strife, Will seize on the chances to force huge advances In things that a nation depends on for life; He did his foul work in the war of secession, He poisoned our boys in the conflict with Spain— High up on a gibbet we ought to exhibit This traitor who holds up a nation for gain! — Berton Braley.
