When Woman Has Her Say.

Mrs. Mary Bewail, an Indianapolis woman, Chairman of the International Council of Women, put a great deal ot sense into a few lines when she said at Cincinnati the other day: “When you see a Jew, think of Jesus, not of Judas. When you see an Italian, don’t say scornfully, “a dago,” but think that this man is a brother of the noble Galileo, and Garibaldi and Micbaelangelo. When you see a Chinaman, don't call him a ‘pig tail,’ but think of him as a follower of the great Confucius. It is absurdity for a few Anglo-Saxons to claim to be the quintessence of the world’s elite. The new man is in the making in America. The process of developing him may be painful at times. The ultimate American, our crowning achievement, will contain the blood of all nations. Our first task is to establish nationalism in America in place of sectionalism, and then we should join in the great movement for the internationalization of the world; the establishment of a world-wide brotherhood of man, with race hatred supplanted by admiration for the virtues to be found in other races; the armaments of the world melted into plowshares, and the vast military expenditures turned to useful purposes.
