to the use of the term though they have an equal love for their
country and take an equal pride in their country's honourable
achievements, it seems necessary to define the word before one
applies it to oneself or puts one's name to what may be called
patriotic verse.

It is a bad day for any country when false standards of patriotism
prevail, and at such times it is clearly the duty of intelligent
patriotism to uphold true ones.
