PATRIOTIC TALK 
== 
Danie McKay or Roxpury, Mem- 
BER OF PuBLIC SAFETY ComMMIt- 
yEE SPEAKER AT BROTHER- 
HOOD. 
“Caesar had nothing on the Kaiser 
when it came to ruthless warfare,” 
said Daniel McKay of the Mass. Pub- 
lic Safety Committee at the Brother- 
hood meeting in the Baptist vestry on 
Monday evening. Mr. McKay chose 
as his subject “Consecration Day,” it 
being the eve of registration day. He 
declared Tuesday, June 5, to be one 
of the most momentous days in Amer- 
ican history. It should be more prop- 
erly termed consecration day than 
registration day, he said, The day 
was consecrated to the upholding of 
democracy and the downfall of auto- 
cracy. 
“Weare living in a greater age 
than the men of ’61 lived in. They 
fought for the cause of democracy in 
America. We are fighting for hu- 
manity all over the world. We are 
fighting the most ruthless nation in 
history of the world. Our fight is to 
free the German people from the 
Kaiser. Our attitude toward the 
Kaiser and the German nation is like 
that of the Irishman toward the bed- 
bug. He said he didn’t object to the 
bedbug, but he didn’t like the way he 
got his living. When Germany says 
she is going to whip the Allies and 
then collect an indemnity from the 
United States to pay the cost of the 
war she is reckoning without her 
host, There will be no indemnity ex- 
cept the one which Germany has to 
pay. When Germany sees the Stars 
and Stripes on the battle fields of Eu- 
rope she will realize that the day of 
reckoning has come. 
“The duty of every young man iM 
America is to register tomorrow and | 
then go out and enlist on Wednesday. 
Keep out of the draft—its bad for 
your bones. And it is bad in other 
ways. I would rather have one man 
who volunteered for duty than a 
dozen who were drafted. That the 
volunteer is the best soldier has been 
my experience. 
“We want to go into this war 
prayerfully and determinedly.. We 
want the spirit of the company of 
marines that landed in one of the iS- 
lands of the Pacific after the Spanish 
war and were cut off from retreat to 
their ships by the natives, When 
signalled from the vessels, ‘How long 
can you hold out?’ they signalled 
back. ‘Till we are mustered out.’ 
“Tf you are too old to fight, buy 
Liberty bonds. The duty of every 
man in Massachusets who does not 
fight is to buy a bond. Buy them even 
if it means a sacrifice. The govern- 
‘ment must have money to supply its 
soldiers. Don’t take the money out of 
a bank, but use it out of your income. 
Keep business as usual. 
“Join the home guard. _ It is no 
joke, There are enemies of our coun- 
try at work on every hand. It is our 
duty to be ready to do our share to 
protect the country at home. I would 
like to be in command of the firing 
squad that despatched the secret en- 
emy of this nation. I wouldn't give 
him time to say his prayers. Any 
man who is so low as to betray the 
secrets of his government to the 
enemy doesn’t deserve time to say his 
prayers. 
“Tet’s start right on an economic 
basis. We Americans are a race of 
four flushers; we live beyond our 
means all the time. Let’s start sav- 
ing something and be ready to help 
the government. Make a sacrifice. 
Let’s be Americans and bury our 
political differences and our religious 
differences. I don’t care whether a 
man is a Jew, a Roman Catholic or a 
Protestant. If he is a loyal Ameri- 
can that is all I ask of him. If this 
war does nothing more than rid this 
country of the rum traffic it will be a 
blessing. Lloyd George said England 
was fighting two foes—Germany and 
liquor—and the worst was rum. If 
America makes the mistake that Eng- 
land made in not abolishing the liquor 
traffic during the war, her emblem 
will trail in the dust of defeat until 
the citizens awake and wipe it out.” 
Mr. McKay served four years in 
that famous band of fighters, the 
Canadian Northwest Mounted Police. 
After his talk there was some discus- 
sion of the Liberty bond in response 
to questions from the floor.

Mrs. Harriett G. GOLDSMITH, 
Mrs. Harriett Giles Goldsmith, 
widow of Upton Goldsmith, died at 
her home, 63 School st., Manchester, 
on Wednesday morning. Death was 
due to hardening of the arteries and 
came after an illness of about a 
month. Mrs. Goldsmith was in her 
83d year and was a native and life- 
long resident of Manchester. She 
was born August 23, 1834. 
In spite of her advanced years Mrs. 
Goldsmith enjoyed excellent health 
up to a month before her death. She 
was real energetic and delighted in 
taking long walks in the open. In 
the early spring Mrs. Goldsmith, in 
company with her daughter, Miss 
Lila Goldsmith, spent a month in 
Georgia where the warm climate was 
very beneficial to her health. The re- 
turn North to the colder weather of 
the tardy spring brought on the at- 
tack of the disease which caused her 
death. 
Although Mrs. Goldsmith was of a 
cuiet, retiring nature her long life in 
Manchester had resulted in many firm 
and lasting friendships and she was 
one of the best known older residents 
of the town. She was a member of 
the Congl, church. She leaves, be- 
sides her daughter, a son, George W. 
Goldsmith of Winthrop, Mass.; two 
sisters, Mrs. Anna Phillips and Miss 
Mary D. Giles of Manchester, and a 
brother, William Giles of Wakefield. 
The funeral will be held this after- 
noon from her late home at 2 o’clock, 
Rev. A. G. Warner officiating. surial 
will be in Rosedale cemetery. The 
hearers will be two nephews of Mrs. 
Goldsmith. Harry and Willis Giles, 
and Joseph Lipman and Albert Cun- 
ningham.
