CHURCH Luther Fife, Bishop Evidently the writer had n e v e r waited throughout a long night trying to pierce the en veloping darkness for a faint glimpse of Old Glory still waving. Nor thrilled at the first faint rays o f a new dawn with the sight o f it still there. This could be'the only excuse for such internat ionalism manifesed in his writing. This song was written during our war with England in 1812 and every English person knows as does everyone in this country that the two nations were at war. Not only then, but also pre viously when we won our independence. True their version of it is a bit different than ours, but that is to be expected. The fact still remains how ever that we were at war and they know and we know it, Then why this necessity o f camouflage. And why should they or any other nation with whom we have fought and are now at peace ob ject to this impersonal word enemy. Rather is it not to the credit o f both that after great bitterness, peace between us now exists and that those things which caused the strife have been ironed out and we again carry on in our daily international life as brother na tions trying to understand each others problems and having the same ultimate goal in view? A world wide peace with a goodly place for each man within his own national borders to work out his daily problems. Surely men with the depth and breadth of understanding necessary to be their nation’s representatives o f whatever country, can find no cause for embarassment in our national anthem when viewed in this light. Let it be the way it was written by one who throughout a long dark night, as prisoner on an enemy’s ship watched for the first faint signs of his flag, the stars and the stripes, through the rocket’s red glare and with the dawn, thrilled when he saw it still there. Only the strong, men like he, and those in later wars w ho’ have listened in filthy prison camps for a crumb of news from their own lines, those who have lain with buddies wounded unto death in mud filled shell holes made by enemy guns or stood knee deep in the mire o f trenches with their own guns ready and their bayonets bared through out a long night have offered their last drop o f life ’s blood aboard their country’s battlesnip, as at Manilla Bay, that this flag might not come down. Or courag eous women who month after month have watched dailv bulletins for lists o f wounded, missing and dead with a prayer on their lips that the name for which they searched might not be there. Then when guns had ceased their firing, had watched with the throngs at the curbs, search ing, searching, and thinking and praying that maybe in that first carriage behind a horse drawn caison, bearing an oblong wooden box, flag draped. Let these say. Or men, who all the years since our last ex perience with an enemy, have lain bed ridden, blinded, crippled and have watched life with all o f its fullness pass them by. Ask them. They do not regreti Rather would they do it gain. Pass through hell itself to carry on and follow blindly that same flag, that through their sacrifice it might continue to wave out on the breeze and that the country for which it stands, might still carry on. It was no white livered internationalist wish ing to save embarassment to another nation’s diplomat over such a trival thing as to suggest that we strike from our national anthem a word that alters its whole spirit. The spirit that put this nation, our country, these United States into the history o f this universe and into the front ranks o f a world’s progress, neither will they keep it there. Rather it will always be, as it ever has been, the man with courage to brave the winter with bleeding feet, with cold and sickness and hung er as they did at Valley Forge. Men who have the guts to go over the top with bared bayonets to meet an enemy with bayonets, equally as bare and perhaps with jagged edges as well. Men who gave their all and count it no loss that through dark nights or the dazzling sun of noontide, their flag, ours, yours and mine may interested.—La signed the petition for a lodge at this place.

Lodge Meetings G A M B LIN G A great many people seem to think that gambling in stocks and bonds on the New York Exchange affects the well being and pros perity o f all the people. Maybe it does. Very few newspaper men are financiers and hence are not auth orities on the question of how the stock market affects their pocket- books. There are two classes of people, however, that we are certain are greatly affected by this business of gambling in stocks and bends. The first of these are the ones who control that market. Just how this Is done, we do not know, not having had any experience along that line. But It is evident that some people do get rich in this sort of gambling. It Is also evident that when those people gain, someone else loses. The other class that is affected are the suckers, without whom there could be no winners. I f gambling of this kind affects the pocketbooks o f the large class o f American people who do not gamble, then it is apparent that the New Ycrk stock Exchange should be abolished.
