If yoU are not yourself, who would you rather be?" as a question that is floating around thru newspa- perdom.

We know of no earthly theme that is fraught with such a halo of sup ernal glory as a nation's flag. It represents the hero's courage, min gled with the heroine's tears. What man living to-day is not proud that our flag Old Glory waves trium phantly over a united people? What old hero does not feel proud of. the humble part he played in the sal vation of that ensign? It-is altogeth er befitting that we take a retrospec tive glance occasionally to those other days when- men with hearts of oak went, forth to do or to die jn defense of Freedom's Flag; Some there be who had rather talk of Love's triumphs than of war's waste -rather bask in the sensurous de lights of voluptuous7 eyes than to feast on the carnage wrought . by Mars' steel-clad -feet. We have ever loved to hear told the achievements of battles and' the glory of clashing bayonets. The flutter of the war drum and the cold gray eyes of the brave soldier hath ever ; appealed . to our martial imagination, and, altho we never went forth to beat time to a nation's heart-throbs, we've glori ed in ,the way others have ridden their barbed steeds into the very jaws of death to uphold the honor of their country. k " - This is pre-eminently a day of re-' minisces and of fresh laurels. We care not whether you were born a mong tho Adirondacks or amid Southern hills,; whether you march ed to the tune of Yankee -Doodle or the strains of Dixie, whether" you looked into Grant's victorious coun tenance or into Lee's steel gray eyes, you are proud of your country to day. Youare glad that-brave souls did put "forth from the .oppressive shores ' of tyrannical.-. .Europe and sail for the -New World to found an asylum- for all "those who would be free. . You are glad that brave men dared in those days to Invade a wil derness for conscience' sake and fight pestilence and savage hordes, and at last face, an enemy of their own Saxon blood and put him-to flight across the brine. The American na tion is a fair young flower plucked from the rose-gardens of Europeean tyranny" where it was being choked to death. It has budded and bloom ed on these fair, shores until its flag i3 respected and honored thru out the world,- :. ; - A We sometimes glory too much? in our material prosperity.-and are apt to forget.the origin of tfeose elements that made us grate When exulting over bur material prowess" ando-rr triumphs of, peace, lot us recall those VJopies inr war ttat uaade'-them pos BiJ)le. Let us -remember - that had !&t'BtoiSwi and 'Appo- matox and San Juan HIH there would bo owiirt iott frtfri -with ef J 0 kia. w r,Wr it t h fnT fu 'that "beat "a revile Ma tno : hearts of ' ColumpiaTs inrperlat aoniith:eii ttreles3 energy and indomitable valor We - might still be paring hohuge to a foreign oppressorr It ia natural for a na tion to crown Its heroe3 and pay trlb- ute to those who -bought so dearly ita right to rear its majestic " head among the oQier nations of the earth. But we hrnst not" boast too much or emulate too little. It is not pa triotism to deal in. senseless " brag ging and foolish blustering. We should rather review the past with an eye single to unirersal brother hood, that all-pervading spirit that makes the whole world akin, than to open: anew the wounds" of bloody war. We would not again array section against section. and sow the Draggon's teethof carnage. Thank God, that is past. Never again will he roes in blue gc down to battle with their brothers in gray. Never again will men of the same ties and blood shoot one another to death. Old Glory floats over a re-united country a galaxy of commonwealths knit to gether in the web of a common brotherhood. Imagine a man loving a part oi could not love our country as a whole, we'd move out of it. The patriot the man who will dare to go -down in the darkest night and defend his nation's honor doe3 not love his country on the installment plan. -He loves its every hill around which circles the purple mist-of the morning, its every valley in which is cradled the dreams of toil, its ev ery mountain peak that rises to kiss the sun. He loves it all in a lump, and is proud of its every achieve ment whether it be New England's manufacturing, the North's varied industries, the South's agriculture, or the West's lowing kine. He loves it up one side and down the other, across it and all thru it. When you feel that way, brother, you -are a -patriot and deserve an the honors your country may see fit to bestow upon you. But if you run down one section and laud another, you are rank with sectionalism and poisoned with partisan hate, and de- hserve but the iernominious frown of vmir rmmtrvmen. The American flag represents a mighty volume 'of history. It is the same that old Cornwallis beheld "at Yorktown, and that Packingham looked on for the last time at New Orleans. It was at the Wilderness and at Gettysburg. "Old Pat Thomas stood beneath its folds at Chickamauga and Joe Hooker car- ried it above the clouds. It was the ensigned that Lincoln loved and that Grant fought for. It stands for li berty wherever it is seen thruout the vorld. The Feejee Islanders re spect it and autocratic Russia dares not insult it. Tyrants hate It, but they .honor it. It is not the flag of the victorious North, but the colors of American liberty. There be a few who would boast that it is the flag that Jeff Davis hat ed that Southern traitors fired up on. -' But these are those who did not eret to the front until the war was over they are post-bellum war riors. . We are sorry that its folds were ever riddled with bullets. We are sorry that people living in the South should ever so far. forget his tory as to shoot to shreds the glori ous banner of Washington, but we do not vainly boast of the duty L done by - the Northern soldier. We look upon it as the saddest spectackle of all our history that men , had to go forth and shoot to death the child ren: of Washington. . There , is little in it to boast of, and yet the Union soldier feels suppremly proud that he was the instrument that saved hjs nation's flag. JWe have very" little pa tience-with those who are stiU con tend that they did right in riding the grand -old flag. They are still belligerents in spirit, and would march forth again to shoot to tatters Old Glory." ,It is not the old soldiers who exchanged compliments at Chan cellorsville and .Cold Harbor; those who followed Forest and rode like devils into Sheridan's ambuscade of nether fire; those who stood like RoJ mans of old upon Vicksburg's im pregnable heights and saw Grant turn the course of the Mississippi and steer his ' instruments" of death right up. under their fort who go about with miniture Confederate flags stuck in their hat-bands. These surrendered, and since they have been supporters of the Union they- saught to destroy. It is the peanut politician and his henchmen - who wave the bloody shirt in this latter day. They would fan the flame of sectional hate and keep " alive the strife "of other days to ride into office on.- - - The civil war was net a necessity. It coulu have been avoided; It Was a useless slaughter of men. The Puri tan and the Cavalier could have com promised their differences. The mu tual dislike that . existed -between them-could have been smothered -out by a broadminded, Americanism. These people, bone of the same 3one and .flesh of the same flesh, Q ugh 10 have left their animosity upon the other side of the ocean with the ash es of Cromwell and Charles T. The .New World ought to have been a place -where Old WdTldfeuds could" not thrive- It is a singular fact that the Puritan and the . Cavalier.' went arm and arr. with Washington thru those Bight long years of Wood and saerific of . whiek human liberty was born, " T'cether they "sat in the Con- ' stitutibnal Ctonremtion 'and laid deep and Aim the foundation of this Re public . and reared theron that won drous mjodel structure, i whicn -by the lerniis::shall-' last forever,; and together, they poured their life-blood upon, its sacred-altar. . It was utter folly for the decendents of ttteseifade less patriots to .. engage in a bloody war to pollute the. fertile soil wet with theix fathers' blood with civic strife. But OdI Glory, was fired upon,: and ibraye men rose up to . de- tend it. ;v After forty years it is no uncom mon sight to,see,men wher faced -one another on the battlefield, "marchuag under .the same banner Old Glory. The Spanish-American war did much to bring our people together. " In a few more years the. tragedy of our civil strife will be but a mere event in history. Its bitterness will all be forgotten. -The ranks . of Grant and Lee will be reformed "upon another shore no more to do battle, but to bivouac thruout all eternity on the eternal camping-groand. . . , ' ' To day the North and the South can kneel .together about the shrine of Lincoln and do honor to the mem ory of our martyred ' chiel tain. The bitterness of the years has been wip ed out and ' Old Glory is the proud ensign of a hundred million people, of one heart, 01 one destiny. The Anglo-Saxon has the leader ship of the world upon him. -He has torn the, mask from the face of the tyrant and struck "away the chains of the slave. He has defied the ukase of kings and handed the reins of power into the hands of T,he-people! Will he be able to belt the. globe with his gospel of ' human liberty? The world has long sought a shrine where it could worship free and un trammeled. The. Greek adored at the mouth of Delphic cave, the . Ro man worshiped his own indomitable prowess, but it is left for the Amer ican to worship in his own good way underneath his ovn vine and fig-tree. The eyes, of the world are. upon-us to read the meaning of our every act." We have championed the cause of human progress and woe be unto us if we do. not prove that we are a knight worthy of our spurs, a verit table Moses among the nations.. S S Roosevelt vs. Bryan The press of the country has late ly-been giving a great deal of space to discussion and prophesying as to whom, will be the - candidates for President on the ' Republican and Democratic tickets next year. Both the Republican and Democratic or gans have their favorites picked and they are piking for them for every thing, that's out. But, as we view the Presidential horologue, the time is not ripe as yet for dead moral certainties. Mr. Roosevelt has announced that he will not be a candidate again, but we do not know what pressure will be brought upon him at the con vening of" the next Republican National Gonve'ntion. Wise men change their mind, but fools never It may be when the crucible moment comes that the clomor will be so great for Roosevelt that .his patriotr ism will burn "within him so mighti ly that he will reconsider his hasty statement made on the night of his election and consent to imolate him seir once again upon the altar of his country. It is a fact that none can deny that Roosevelt is -very popular, and the masses have implicit confi dence in his -ability to rule. Not since Abraham Lincoln was at the helm with his "horse sense" states manship have we had another, like him until Theodore Roosevelt shot like a blazing meteor upon thei! stage of our national life. Some said that he would be transient, but time has proven that he has the necesary stay ing qualities. The cry of his enemies is "the third term precedent," : But the masses are paying but -little at tention to the howl. The naked truth is that a large majority of the people of this country are for Roose velt in 1908, whether Tor no, -precedent or ho precedent, and the pie rooting politicians cannot "change the overwhelming sentiment. : - The- Republican national conven tion will likely be held first, as it generally happens, and if Mr. Roose velt is nominated, the "Immaculate" William Jennings Bryan will "but in" like a full-grown billy-goat and pull for the Democratic nomination, :. "in the belief that he can swat Roose velt on the "third term proposition" "and not half try. Bryan is., a born leader, but the trouble withrhim is, he leads in the wrong direction ' for his adherents leads them on a wild goose .chase "hellards" - and never lets up until he gets his party inthe miasmatic - swamps of humilliating defeat. He couldn't deat Roosevelt for a tenth term, let alone swatting him for a third term. .Bryan can make 'em hollow and throw up their. sombrero and tear their shirts, but he , can't make 'em vote his way, as has been fully demonstrated "on" two very momentous occasions -"-. ' Let us. suppose that the Republic ans nominate some -other man be sides: Roosevelt: the party will, rally to himjand- elect hjm gust the vsame. But how- about the Democrats? 'Sup pose they.

He can be at more places in less time than any other man upon the American conti nent. To-day he is in New York-to-morrow you hear of him in Los Angeles. One would infer from his vigilance that he is afraid the Dem ocratic donkey will break loose and lope out of the country. It is said that W. J. takes the animal out of the, stable in the morning and carries him down well and then pats him on the nose and says "be good," and he talks back to his master as Balaam's proverbial ass did.
