The following was handed to us
by a subscriber, it looks good to
ns—therefore we decided to publish
a
tOE LOYAL TO YOUR COUNTRY
AND YOUR FLAG
By other words, be obedient to
the Laws and Ordinances of Uncle
Sam. If He says Thou shalt not, as
a good citizen you should be pleased
to obey. Now when Uncle Sam
made this Law and Ordinance—
Thou shr.lt work eight hours, no
more, no less, and the same pay.
Uncle Sam meant what He said.
If you go contrary to that Law and
Ordinance, you are a traitor to
your country. You are just as
much a traitor, as the man who re
lusesto stand by Uncle Sam in
these days of trouble.
Who on earth can Uncle Sam
depend on when it comes to a crisis,
•when people that boast so much
about being Patriotic an^ when it
comes to obeying the Law, make a
halt and say, “I do as I please.”
Such people are just as Patriotic
as the Kaiser would be if he came
to America.
It may be some smart Alick, that
would sell his birth-right for a
Job, and tell you, that it is not
constitutional to enforce such a
Law. Remember that He, whoever
'Ho may be, Ha is not fighting you
only, He is fighting Uncle Sam,
should bo placed among the trai
tors to our Country.
Uncle Sam is neither a fool or a
hypocrite. He practices exactly
what He preaches. He is not a
Slave Driver. Ho pays good and He
don’t expect any one of His men
to work more than EIGHT-HOURS,
so He has given you a good exam
ple to follow.
Uncle Sam believes He can make
the dough outside the Sweat-Shop.
If your Uncle Sammy promises you
anything you may be sure you can
depend on it.
I guess you remember well that
day when you received that note
from Uncle Sam, to come over Met
<he Reindeers,, how He promised to
pay you well. I guess you took
your own time and got wellpaid—
“Did you not?? Bless your heart
I should say you did get well paid—
you got almost everything that was
in the country. “From the Fowls in
the air. to the Fishes in the sea,”
and still you refuse to obey Uncle

Sam.
Shame on that man who is a
traitor to his country at any time
but shame is especially due unto
him who is a traitor in times like
these. Suppose we all said and
went contrary to the orders of the
day and we would say "I guess we
can eat whatever we please and
pay whatever we please, for Fuel
and Food. You would jump sky
high and say we were all pro-Ger
mans.
I tell you my earnest belief is
that. 'when a person is selfish, he
is possessed of the same Satanic
Spirit, as the Kaiser and his Pru3
sian-Imps. Selfishness and Greedi
ness are the root of cruelty.
Uncle Sam is Good but Firm. It
may take him a little time to make
up his mind. He is like all wise
men, He does not say much but
what He says—goes. He may turn
round and take you by the ear and
say ‘‘My Boy, if you do not take
notice of what I say. I may take
a notion to suspend all gold mining
operations during the period of the
war—because it is a non-essential
in regards to bringing the war to
a speedy termination—the producer
of the necessaries of life as well
as the producer of copper, coal, iron,
ships and numerous other necessities
for carrying on the war and the
fighter on the battle-fields are the
most important factors in this
world’s crisis. I may also take a
notion in the future to see that
gold is mined under my own super
vision.” I have plenty of money.
Patriots and Mammon Worshipers,
who like to make Slaves out of My
People but 1 will not let them.”
Now if Uncle Sam would do this
It would be the very last thing
that could be done to these Selfish
and "Pretending Patriots.” They
may then have a chance to think
it over and learn obedience—-even if
it should hurt their Bank-Roll.
So boys dont let anyone lead you
into anything that is contrary to
your Uncle Sammy’s Laws and Ordi
nances, at last it will bring you to
the Pen. Therefore be Loyal to the
Country and to the Flag and true
and kind to your followmen, and do
unto others as you would have
them do unto you.

gerous than the enemy of Justice.
