" 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.
