I E R R R R R R R R R RS R R R R R R R R R R RS S E ISR SRR RS E R EEE R TRUE AMERICANISM. Tomorrow is Memorial Day. morrow is a day for trae anism. ‘What is true Americanism? Moses E. Clapp, United States sen- ator from Mninesota, who'is a can- didate for renomination, defines true Americanism as follows: ‘“Aniericanism means devotion to the spirit of our constitution and laws. It means loyalty to the spirit of our institutions. stantial rights. and willingness to recognize that our government is for all, not for a few; and that if for all it must be a gov- ernment by all. It means the cdpa- city and willingness to realize that real prosperity does not mean a gol- den stream poured into the lap ‘of the few, the mass existing upon the crumbs which' fall from overloaded tables, but that all should have equal opportunity to sit around the board. It means that while government is instituted for the welfare of all} all should share the benefits of thel as- sociation called government, yet after all, government must lean upon the citizen rather than the citizen lean upon the government. That in free government law should stand as the crystallization ‘of sentiment rather than to be used-as the pioneer of sen- timent. That free government spring- ing from the citizen reflects the good or bad of the citizen; that it will be as good as the citizen makes it, as bad as he allows it to be. That the first duty of the citizen is by’ his character- and activities to-make his constant contribution to that sénti- ment which reflected in the policies of government means most for'the moral and material welfare of: all. True Americanism is exemplified in the lives of those native and foreign born, who in ecivil life and on'the battlefields of the republic have! up- held the best and highest ideals'and have made their generous comtribu- tion, of character and achievenient, to the real grandeur of our natfon.” PAPER AT NOON. The Bemidji Daily Pioreer will be published at noon tomorrow, Mem- orial Day, so as to give its employes an opportunity to observe half the day. ‘We urge that everyone in the' city observe the day and that everyone take part in the parade and program which will' be' given tomorfow. The program in the afterncon' will be started at two o’clock and will be completed ‘béfore ‘the ‘calling of the first ‘baseball game’ of ‘the season.
