liberty their own selfish right to refuse to
enlist or be drafted into Ifie only agency
which can defend that liberty if and when
an enemy should undertake to undo the
work of our forefathers and throw us
again into the bondage of despotism.
It is like one who woiuild be willing
to accept the salvation of the cross bought

^till not be willing to make one personal
sacrifice as a token of appreciation. Men
who eat the fruits of this American free-

sacrifice to maintain it. Thoso who wil!
not do so should be drafted if the occasion
comes that their services are needed.

{Labor's Day
Labor should have a special day in
this land of common opportunity and reg-
nant with the spirit of Democracy wjiich
rings the challenge to lords and poten
taies and says that "all men are free and
equal."
Americanism recognizes labor and
places it on a level with all aristocracy.
The man who toils is a relator of
values and makes property to have a place
in the affairs of life by the
fact tjhat money earned through labo,
makes markets for the very thing it ere
ntes and proves of value to the man who
operates the plant.
To turn one day in t>he year thorfore
over to emphasize the dignity and aristoc
racy of labor is thoroughly American and
attests the brotherhood of man in a mannei
which fosters the good of all.
To that end, Denison, the city of
brotherliness, joins in celebrating the good
day of Labor next Monday.
