WHAT IS AMERICANISM?— # Under the above title Theodore Roosevelt, assistant secretary of, the navy, son of an illustrious father, the ex president, writes interestingly in the Public Affairs magazine and says in part* "The veriest school child can recite the famous words of Patrick Henry, ‘Give me liberty or givejne death.’ Our National Anthem, ‘The StarSpangled Banner,’ in the refrain speaks of ‘the land of the free.’ The first two lines of another of our pop/jlar patriotic songs are, 'My Country, tis of thee, sweet land of liberty.' The Declaration of Independence it self states—‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by the Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.’ The traveler from foreign nations, when his ship sails into the harbor of New York, sees, as it sti ;vms down the bay toward the piled buildings of Manhattan, the Goddess of Liberty. The majority of our wars have been fought for the cause of liberty, and the honor of our dead is inscribed with that word. It is not too much to say that the rock on which Jhis country is founded is liberty, or its synonym, freedom. "In spite of this, at this very time, there are those in this country who, under the ruse of Americanism, | would debach this prime article of our faith—liberty. What does liberty | mean? Liberty ..leans "leave to live by no man's leave underneath the law.” Liberty means religious toleration. We hold that it is the right of every man to worship his god in the way Iris conscience dictates. The necessary corollary of this that no distinction of any sort should be made be-' tween sects. When we judge a man, we must judge him as a man, and not as a follower of any particular creed. No man in our country should be discriminated against because he is or is not of a particular faith. He should stand or fall in the eyes of his fel-low-countrymen on what lie individually represents and on nothing else. This religious intolerance has mani-

„ iii 1r il — —' —~ tested Itself In many ways. The word Americanism baa been soiled by being used by some groups for the purpose of furthering their brut ally intolerant designs. Such a group ■* Is the Ku Klux Klan, who have band ’• ed together against certain creedes ■ t and races. Americanism never goes masked. There are other groups who have organized along racial lines for ' the purpose of racial discrimination. ) Still others have attempted to sup- * press opinions, legally expressed, be--5 cause they personally did not agree ■’ with those opinions. Furthermore, I there has been a growing tendency to ' delimit and prescribe personal liberty in unjustifiable ways. “We must maintain our toleration, racially and religiously. Personal liberty Is sacred to the country. If wo would not forswear our country, we must preserve it. Unless we do all these things, unless we preserve not only in deed, but in thought, a recognition of others’ rights, wo hail better burn the Gettysburg Address and sell the Statue of Liberty for scrap, for freedom and liberty will exist no longer in our land.” ' Those who know Mr. Walb, newly elected chairman of the republican state cpmmitec, say lie is a very fine gentleman who has accumulated considerable wealth by contracting var sous kinds of construction work. Os course this is a somewhat different contract than he has ever been awarded and will require some methods slightly different than used in road building and a lot of fellows who were called "nice fellows" when they started in were given other names before they finished the job. so we ll just wait and see whether he can meet the demands of Watson. New, Beveridge and McCray and come out with feathers flying. If he does he may realize his ambition to be governor which is said to be the goal he seeks. Announcement Is made by J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., that twenty-five million dollars worth of securities will be floated in this country, our share of a fund of $130,000,000 to be raised by bankers of Great Britain.
