Most anyone If asked to define
patriotism would say it was love (if
country- which is correct l'.ut it is
much mole than that or rather a
line love of country involves a wider
range of duties and sent imenls.
is not haul to be patriotic when an
enemy threatens to attack our na-
tion and the call is made for men
to lake up arms in Its defense. The
patriotism that Is genuine and worth
while Is a conslunt purpose both In
war and peace both in prosperity
nnd distress Wllh a great many of
us patriotism heroines only a high-
sounding wind lo Juggle with while
our hearts are mote intent on the
selfish pursuit of thr elusive dollar
than upon the general welfare ot
the whole people. (Irasping selfish-
ness is often fatal to our highest im-
pulses not because we mean lo be
disloyal but because Ihe wholo bent
and purpose of our mind is en-
grossed with thr (uestion of what
thero is In It for us. Our forefathers
sacrificed wealth comfort business.
family ties nnd even life Itself that
this great republic might tie born.
The spirit of '7fi calls on us to he
ready to do lis much if needed. We
aro all more ready to do heroic
deeds than we are to live steadily
from day to day on patriotic prin-
ciples. There is a glamor about giv-
ing up life for one's country that is
not present ill thr daily plodding of
ordinary life. The duty of Ihe Amer-
ican citi.cti is mi every -day affair
not something laid away for special
occasions.
Itut still our sentimental regard
for patriotism is so gnat thai we
are rawly hd to follow its imita-
tion mslrad of the real thing The
flamboyant and noisy sentiment
which we call "making the eagle
scream" Is often a fraud an appeal
to the passions of lowbrows spoils-
men atld grafters. It Is the weapon
of the demagogue a deception with
which to hide his unpatriotic pur
poses. Then there is the haughty
brand the kind that struts around
with a chip on its shoulder and dar-
ABE MA1JTIN
ing somebody to knock It off. This
is no more patriotism than Is arson
or grand larceny. Cine sees and
hears lota of these imitations of
patriotism. They aro tho stock in
trade of the political Kangster and
the street-corner agitator. Tho flood
citizen has no more use for it than
ho has for counterfeit money. It Is
a devico to deceive and the pro-
mulgator is open to suspicion. Ileal
patriotism pure und unde.filud. In not
only a grnuine love of country but
love of one's fellow men love of
honesty of purity of decency of
courage of fairness and a desire to
tnri'rr and subordinate his own per-
sonal Interests In the greatest Kood
to the greatest number of Ills fellow-
eilizeiis. Ho whose patriotism does
not Incliiilo these sentiments und
who does not make them tho guid-
ing rule of his life has not come
to a realization of what it means to
he a patriot.

When you read what It costs some
candidates f frit a nomination you
can't help wonderln whut It's goin'
f cost 'em t (tit .elected tine pood
thing about th' pirls' high shoes Is
that they don't have t' stoop V tie
'em.
The great difficulty that was ex
perienced in getting the majority of
peoplo lo register even when they
were repeatedly warned that their
right of suffrage was Imperiled by
their muJcet brings us face to face
with the problem f what Is to be
loiio to iiwukrii the American citizen
lo a Juster realization of his duties
to the state. A great many will ex
cuse themselves on the plea thai it
is not worth while for them to
bother with politics because no mat
ter how they work or vote in tho
end some schemiiiK politician is go
ing to walk away with all the ben-
fits tiud the people will be ex
ploited for the purposes of those
who mako politics a study and a
rofrssion. This Is a very lame ex-
use for any man not doing" his best
to remedy the condition. As Ionic
is men hang back and let tho dema
gogue have his own way things will
continue to grow worse. Hut let the
people make themselves heard and
frit in pnl. lie affairs and the dema
gogue hums ins note t ins lias otten
occurred but the effects did not last
because tho goial citizen got tired of
the effort und went to sleep.
I'.tiinlil vigilance Is the price of
liberty nnd the citizen cannot do his
duty by Just demonstrating his power
nco In a while it must be a con
tinuous process. It is not worth
while to make laws to purify the
ballot-box nor to clean up the pri-
arics unless tin body of good cit
izens will take advantage of the priv
ileges tout belong to them. ToHtics
may bo unclean but the reason It
remains iiurlcan is because so many
good people slay'out of it. The very
men who avoid the primaries and
Iho elections arc the ones who aro
responsible for the evils of American
politics. The political manipulator
is less to blame for corruption and
for bad legislation than the man who
ignored the primaries and neglected
the right of suffrage. Whenever pol-
itics Is cleaned it will he a process
thai begins at the source with the
individual voter. The decision rests
with him and there aro so many of
him that no political schemer can
stand before him when he gets all
waked up at once. No man is a
good citizen who neglects his rights
and duties as an American citizen
anil it is both his right and his duty
to help choose the men and the
methods of our government. The
man who shirks this duty has no
right to grumble no matter how bad
the government gets to be.

why the present administration should

and supposed to be cxen.pt from the

The Bohnefeld method of dry cleaning Palm Beach
suits has made regular customers of everyone that has
once had a suit cleaned by this process.
The process itself was arrived at only after exhaustive
tests had been made by which the most thorough
cleansing agent for the purpose was determined one
that would in no way injure the garment (thus assur-
ing longest wear) but 'would restore it to its natural'
color and looking like new. Palm Beach

We have heard a great deal from
time to time about the "general offen-
sive" which the allies were going to
launch against Ciermany some time
this spring but so far there are no
signs of Its impendence. The same
old game of presenting a stone wall
front for the Hermans o butt their
brains out against seems to be the
favorite strategy of Kitchener and
J of frc. Thero are those who tell us
now that there is no likelihood ot the
allies making a united and concerted
effort to squeeze Uermany from all
sides at once for tho very good rea-
son that it is much cheaper in money
munitions and men to maintain the
defensive at least as long as Germany
can be depended on to do the aggres-
sive act. If the central powers will
just keep on beating their heads
against the allied wall. It is only a
matter of time until they will become
exhausted and furnish an easy prey
to their enemies In which case the
struggle would be won much cheaper
than If the allies undertook to push
tho Teutonics hosts back within their
own borders. The Germans cannot
afford to lie still for internal con-
ditions demand that the army show a
reason why It should still receive the
loyal support of the German people.

There is of course always the chance

enemies to do something more than
sit tight and hold a line of trenches.
The Germans are resourceful and no
logic of events nor cunniiigness ol
strategy can insure that they will bo
defeated until - the fact is accomp-
lished. They are a long ways from

they are able to fight there is always

THE MAN ABOUT I
I TOWN J
My Tulsa.
Notice that pronoun the Man
Abmit Town has a Tulsa all his own.
and if each one of bis readers has
not a similar possession it is simply
because the deed has not been applied
for. Tulsa has say forty thousand
population which menns that there
ought to bo forty thousand Tulsans
or thereabouts. And this is just a
start for anyone who has studied
the laws of permutation and com-
bination with the aid of nn addinit
machine which also multiplies may
figure out a few million more Tul-
sas which aro ever beckoning for
ioiks 10 enter in and possess the
land.
All of which is Greek until it Is
explained after which It becomes so
simple that the reader will go off
into a dark place and blush been use
the tremendous possibilities of stak-
inw out claims have not been seen
and understood.
What My Tulsa Is Not.
First of all it is not the Tulsa of
the professional booster or tho pub-
licity agent. Nor has the real estate
promoter much to do with It.. It is
even doubtful whether the oil ex-
aggerator can have much Influeneo in
making it what the Man About Town
as chief citizen in his own Tulsa of
course insists upon enjoying. In
fact the grent newspapers the
preachers the politicians tho mayor
and commissioners the lawyers lind
doctors except in a general wav
have little or no jurisdiction In this
charmed Tulsa about to be described
although of course they are kept
around for emergency's sake
" A Fair Swap.
Talk about lavld Graysoh's own-
ing the sun-kissed hills and the green
fro ir minds th lrd knows hn la
welcome to them so long as he leaves
the city alone. If he will just keep
on raising fresh vegetables for our
tables he will be left to sing In the
chorus of locusts and bellowing
cows unannoyed. The country doubt-
less has tremendous charms that we
never discovered for ourselves al-
though we have plowed foity acres
of new ground and know how de-
lightful it is to have underground
green' roots crack a son of the soil
on the shins. David Grayson almost
bad us buffaloed once but later when
we learned who he was. Just a big
novelist who wrote under that name
because he realized that folks would
be wise to the reason he hail for
taking shots at the city If ho used his
own. we derided that there should be
no undue influence exerted over us
bv this novel stuff at so much per
line. I'.esides who can ever forget
the cliiggcrs'ln the alfalfa or the
necessity of rising at sunup lest a
moment of the enjoying process
should be lost?

run altogether on the old town-meeting
plan as a few friends get to-
gether and decide what the policy
shall be until they change their minds.
True It has been unanimously agreed
to observe most of the city ordi-
nances. Just for the sake of harmiMiy
but we livo our own lite and thank
God every once In a while for
freedom. If we forget this wise and
worthy exercise of the spirit we are
thankful anyhow. A few good friends
and tho assurance of three good hots
a day what more docs any man need
to make him happy?
Especially when for just a trifling
cost peoplo far and wide are breaking
their backs and tumbling all over ono
another to provide service? My Tulsa
has a newspaper all its own and this
takes more time and attention than
any of the other necessities because
although It consists of but a single
column a few minutes every doy are
reiiuireil to edit it. Lots of folks seem
to like it and It Is published every day
in the big Tulsa World. This shows
how Important my Tulsa Is.
