LOYALTY BASIS OF
| ALL CIVILIZATION
■
Every Citizen Owes Moral and
Legqj Obligation to His
jl Government.
SAME IN COMMUNITY LIFE
! People Have Duty to Their Home
Town Which la No Leaa Bind
ing Because It Is Not
Fixed by Law.
(Copyright, 1917, Weitern Newgpaper Union.)
Loyalty Is the foundation upon
which the whole structure of civiliza
tion rests. Loyalty to one’s country,
loyalty to one’s state, loyalty to one’s
city, loyalty to one's business asso
ciates, loyalty to one’s friends I Loy
alty Is essential to the ordinary prog
ress of the world. Without it the world
must be chaos.
There would be no stable govern
ment in the world were It not for the
loyalty of the people to their gov
ernment. There would be no success
ful business enterprise on the face of
the globe were It not for the loyalty
of the men and women who are con
nected with It. No church could ex
ist for a month were It not for the
loyalty of Its members. The sacred
ness of the home would be a myth
were it not for the loyalty of the
members of the family group.
The loyalty of a people to its gov
ernment is based partly upon senti
ment and partly upon the recognition
of an obligation that a people owes
to its government. A. people that has
the benefit of good government owes a
duty to that government. Those who
fo not recognize this duty and per
form it voluntarily are compelled by
law to do so. The man or woman who
is protected by the government in the
pursuit of life and happiness, must con
tribute in money and service toward
the support of the government. The
man or woman who, under the protec
tion of his government which pre
serves law and order, is able to ac
cumulate property, must pay taxes on
that property to help maintain the gov
ernment which has protected him or
her. In time of war the government
has the right to call upon its citizens
to take up arms In its defense.
Loyalty Moral Obligation.
In governmental affairs these things
are regulated by law, and the man
who receiVes the benefit of orderly
government is required to fulfill the ob
ligation which that entails, but in the
ordinary affairs of life, loyalty is a
moral rather than a legal obligation.
There are laws which prevent a man
from stealing from his employer or
his business associates, but there is
no law that requires him to be loyal
to them. The success of a business
institution, however, depends more
upon the loyalty of its employees than
upon the laws which prevent them
from stealing its money. Likewise the
stability of a government depends
more* upon the loyalty of Its people
than upon the laws which compel them
to fulfill their obligation to the gov
ernment
It Is equally true that the prosperity
and growth of every Individual com
munity is dependent upon the loyalty
of'the people who live in It Every
citizen owes an obligation to his com
munity, and the obligation is a moral
as well as a legal one. The good citi
zen pays his taxes cheerfully and
willingly. He serves upon the juries
which administer the laws of the com
munity. He fulfills every legal obli
gation that Is imposed upon him by
his government, but there is a moral
obligation which Is of still greater Im
portance to the community. This
moral obligation consists in doing
everything that is in his power to
promote the prosperity and happiness
of his community. The man who is
enabled to make his living in any com
munity is under a moral obligation- to
spend his money in such a way as to
help his community.
Prosperity Worth Protecting.
Anything worth having is worth pro
tecting, and if the prosperity of a
community is worth anything to the
people living in it it Is worth protect
ing. If the chance for a man to earn
a good living, to live well, to give his
children a good education, is worth
anything, it is worth protecting.
There is just one way to protect
the prosperity of a community, and
that is to keep the community from
being drained of Its cash—working
capital. The only way to do that is
for the people of the community to
keep their money at home. Every
time the citizen of a community sends
money awuy from home to a mail or
der house instead of spending It in
| his home stores he is disloyal to his
j community. It is disloyalty to themer
I chants only indirectly. It is disloyalty
to the community of which the mer
chants are only a small hue a very
Important part.
This is the moral obligation that
every citizen owes to his community,
Just as the payment of taxes and the
loyal support of his government are
nls legal obligations. Disloyalty of
a large body of the citizens spells dis
aster to any government and dlsloy-,
alty of any large part of the people
to their community Is followed inev
itably by the downfall of the commu
nity. Self-Interest, if nothing else,
should convince every citizen of the
advisability of fulfilling his moral ob
ligation to his community.

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as
they cannot reach the seat of the dis
ease. Catarrh is a local disease,
greatly influenced by constitutional
conditions, and in order to cure it you
must take an internal remedy. Hall’s
Catarrh Medicine is taken internally
and acts through the Diood on the mu
cods surfaces of the system. Hall’s
Catarrh Medicine was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this
country for years. It is composed of
some of the best tonics known, com
bined with some of the best blood pur
ifiers. The perfect combination of
the ingredients in Hall’s Catarrh Med
icine is what produces such wonder
