NO SENTIMENT
IN PLATFORMS
OF SOCIALISTS
ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 19 (by Associ-J
ated Press).—Morris Hilquitt, the So
cialist leader, and secretary of the In
ternational Socialist party, testified
under cross-examination at the trial of
the suspended Socialist assemblymen \
today that Socialists repudiate the |
sentiment of “My country, right or ■
wrong,” and also refused to accept!
the slogan of “Stand by the President.” j
Mr. Hilquitt declared that the true!
doctrine of national patriotism is an
ideal of international working class
solidarity.
E. W. (Bud) Johnson of Ketchikan,
a returned soldier who has been
gassed lost his voice suddenly re
cently and was unable to utter a word.
After a day or so his speech came
back to him, but his enunciation is not
normal and is very slow. Dr. Meyers
of Ketchikan says that the brain cen
ters may have become congested over
a habit Johnson had of lying on his
back in the snow when overheated
from skating.

TAG SALE FOR
LIBRARY FID
ON SATURDAY
Next Saturday is the annual tag day
for the Cordova public school library,
when the public will be asked to play
a game of tag with the children. In
this particular kind of tag game it is
proper for the participants to allow
themselves to be tagged just as soon
and as often as possible. It is to be
hoped that everyone plays the game
as well as it was played last year.
This tag day sale is for the benefit of
the school library, which needs to be
built up to a higher point of efficiency,
since it must serve in a double ca
pacity, due to the fact that Cordova
can boast of no public library at
present.
In this day and age the man who
can not read to some extent is now
as rare as five hundred years ago he
that could. So it seems scarcely nec
essary to argue the value of good
books and their wholesome influence
upon the lives of our young people.
In our reading classes we develop
the ability and the desire to read,
and it remains for us to cultivate,
through the avenue of general reading
for pleasure and profit, an intelligent
discrimination between the good and
bad in literature. If our boys and
girls are supplied with the right kind
of reading material a taste will be
formed for the best, and they will de
velop a standard by which to judge
books for themselves, which will mini
mize to the vanishing point the dan
ger of their falling under the perni
cious influence of the "dime novel"
and the "penny shocker.”
The child who early acquires the
habit of associating on friendly terms
with good books will cause his parents
little worry about how and where his
leisure time is spent. The love of
books is a love which requires neither
justification, apology nor defense.
Some time, not too far away, let us #
hope, Cordova will have a public
library, but until that time is it not
wise to increase the scope and gen
eral usefulness of our school library,
so that it may in a measure atone for
_ *
the lack of a larger institution?
“Have a heart” is in this case a 4
genuine appeal for each to help by
buying one of the heart-shaped tags—
no slang intended.
Tag! You’re it!
