We have too much patriotism
in the Unifed States. 1 mean
the common or garden variety.
Were you never in a theater when
the orchestra played "Dixie?
There is always a storm of ap-
plause from a dozen youths un-
der twenty-one, all born north of
the Mason-Dixon Line. And
when the tune is "The Star-
Spangled Banner," at least a hun-
dred persons will rise—persons
that don't>know the words of this
anthem and that won't hesitate
to cheat their government by re-
using a cancelled two-cent post-
age-stamp. That is the sort of
patriotism 1 mean.
Now is the time for it: the
-three days of agony—preparation,
celebration, cauterization — that
we call the Fourth of July, when
we fire toy-pistols and get drunk
for the greater glory of our coun-
try. In the mad endeavor to for-
get that Independence is the im-
possible dream and Liberty the
attainable reality, we call it In-
dependence Day. The honorable
member of Congress from the
Meat Trnst addresses the cele
brating citizens. He says, "Our
country: may she always be in
the right, but our country right
or wrong!" Celebrating citizens
cheer.
Yet that sentiment is damnable.
If Washington had believed in it,
he would have fought against the
colonies and under King George.
Not one of the worth-while men
that made this republic would
have tolerated the republic had
it become oppressive or unjustly
i aggressive, and that was why
tnose men were able to make it
I It takes a finer courage to op-
! pose a popular mistake than to
; die for the mistake's perpetration,
i and, in war or peace, as much to-
day as in colonial days, the man
that is first to help his country tc
be right is last to applaud her
| when she is wrong.
Independence is a denial of
fa<5t: it is shutting the eyes to
the infrangible bonds that knit
i man to man and nation to nation.
Liberty, on the contrary, rests on
the truth that the welfare of all
is the welfare of each. Devotion
to the common welfare is real
patriotism, and patriotic devotion
to anything else is patriotic sham.
If our country is doing the best
things in the best way, we owe
her our devotion ; if she begins to
do some things in a wrong way,
we owe her our criticism ; but no
man owes any country the price
of his own sense of right.
"My country right or wrong!"
Why? Because there is anything
fine in her wrong? Nc—because
she is mine. There is as much
logic in hissing on your dog to
Kill more of your neighbor's
chickens because, although he
has already killed some, he likes
it, and he is your dog. If "My
H country right or wrong, " why
not "My employer right or
IS BOUND TO BRING SUCCESS.

I Just Stop and Think
: Did it ever occur to you that in selecting
t your bank that it was not for a day but tor
3 years and in many instances a lifetime con-
* nection.
t How important it is then that you choose
£ a growing and progressing institution,
S strong in capital, conservative in manage-
- ment, and permanent in its control; one
whose future gives assurance to you ot its
stability.
Your careful study of our statements as
they appear from time to time and our
method of doing business will better enable
you to judge of our ability to serve your in-
terests to the best advantage, and we as-
sure you that we will appreciate having
you with us.

The Open Door
THE FARMERS' STATE BANK has
opened legitimate banking privileges to this
community—privileges long their due—and
the people have shown their appreciation
therefor by the large and increasing patron-
age given this institution.
The Directors and Stockholders who make
the semi-annual examination of the bank, in
all its details, are men of twenty years
acquaintance in this community.
It is to the interest of every farmer to
open an account with the FARMERS SIAIL
BANK. In addition to the safety afforded
by the conservative management of the bank;
the depositors are further protected by the
State Guaranty Fund, and rigid regulation ot
the State Banking law.
This bank is doing a strictly banking bus-
iness, and engaging in no speculative
side lines, combinations or pools.
Our Deposit Account registers the con-
fidence of the community. It is not bolstered
by any outside money, public, banks or other-
wise. , , .
We will clerk your sales, guaranteeing
satisfaction as in the past, and will render-
full and detailed account therefor the next
day showing article, purchaser and price.
We will negotiate farm loans at the best
rates obtainable.
We pay interest on time deposits, large
or small. . , , T
