﻿Lots of people would be more patriotic but they have no flag. They resent this, are ashamed and uneasy. They are surly to their flag waving neighbors. Absentee porkchops has the same effect. A better union would soon provide a flag, 4 by 6. 

Witness the river my son. Where it rises it’s a mere trinkle, a ditch, a brook, a creek. Now look at its mouth and what comes out of it. It picked picked up a little here, a little there, consolidated them into one big union. Such is also learning, a little here, a little there and finally he—knows it all. It follows then a little learning is just a start and individualist s a mere trickle, a ditch. 
Don’t be trickle; join the river in its sweep to the sea; its better to be little of much then much of little. 

An uncle that buys his little nephew a bicycle should see to it that theres lots of nickelplate on it. Then the child, now grown, will insist with his last breath: “He is no heel.” 
Even tho you commit the most atrocious crime the child will glance at the nickelplate an say: “No! Impossible” He never did it.”—
