'"'Till some one laughed at me and said, They're only weeds, they never live Inside a well-kept garden bed.' I thought that they were flow ers. . I loved my roadside friends De fore nut since I know they grow Where no one cares, I love them more. They are so brave to go Where they may choose just anywhere That looks a pleasant place to be. There is nothing they're afraid to dare. And now It's plain to me That weeds are flowers who ran . away .Because they liked to be quite free And never grow as people say They know the world was made to see." Exchange. THE FLAG IN BATTLE .- jrf OR years the stars and 1f stripes have been carried in review at the Rounds Up but never before has our crowd een such a flag as the one Jinks Taylor carried this year. It is no longer bunting. It is a flag of battle and it is be ing followed across the ocean by thousands of olive drab sol diers' who are ready to lay down their lives in the righte ous cause we have championed. Back of them are almost two million Snen under arms in this country and 20 million more ready to respond when needed. The nation has taken the sword to free the world from despot ism and injustice and it is go ing to win. The flag is the symbol of our country's glory and of the sublime purposes for which we strive. It is a ban ner for which men die ; it is so lace for those who mourn. No wonder people cheer as the flag goes by. ........... MORE GERMAN SMARTNESS t7t HAT Bernstorff used the German organization and money in a widespread effort, to influence legislation by congress cannot be question ed in view of the evidence com prised in the intercepted mes mage just made public by our government. It was an attempt to govern the United States from Berlin and the fact the work was done in subtle man ner but made it the more effec tive and more dangerous. No doubt considerable information on this subject has long been in possession of the adminis tration and has contributed to a feeling of distrust for the kai ser and his whole machine. The German government tried to be too smart. It presumed too much on the German spy system and it tried to do things in this country that did not come leecitimately under the scope of the German ambassa dor. The exposure of Bern storff's subterranean opera tions will increase -the resent ment against Teuton methods and make the American people more firm in their determination to end a regime that has shown itself not wor thy of toleration by the civiliz ed nations of the earth.

It is a time when .a lull comes in the work on farm and range and people have a few days for sociability and sport. To many the coming weeks are the most beautiful of the year. The magic of our September must have caught the eye of the Benztown bard when he wrote these lines: Brothers of the autumn here's our Ijodge of Ltove, The rainbow of the foliase and the bright blue dome above; The rustle of the brown leaves. The whistle of the gale; The sunbeam on the mountain . . And the gold mtst in the vale.1 . Brothers of the autumn our creer tingling mile. The laughter of the clean heart and the sunshine of a smile; No dues except devotion To all life's lure and zest i' To love the common daylight ' And leave to God" the rest. It is a time when people may well be in love .with Hfo and most of those who are here are embued with a spirit of op timism and rejoicing, as they should be. This is the finest orld we will ever see and we should make the most of it. r . 40 YEARS AGO (From the Dally East Oregonian. Sept. 22, 18S0.)
