Mr.. Firth, ne author of new Eng
fish book ON America, says IN effect
that as long as you praise Americans
you are declared to be- the most appre-
ciativc OF men, and altogether an ing
iishhan of great common sense. But
should You, as the result of much pa
tient investigation mildly
express your opinion that Americans
drink too much iced water, that their
politics are not quito so pure as they
might be, that their railway system is
a huge monopoly under whose iron
rule the people are helpless, that the
hoop iron table knives they use, though
well adapted for cutting butter, are
not exactly suited for cutting beef,
that their laws are not always well adj
ministered. that they often neglect
their political duties and abandon the
field 10 charlatans and rogues that
Americans work too hard, disregard
the laws of health and the require
ments of healthy life-the pleased
expression leaves the face of your
friend, and you are Immediately told
that you have not devoted sufficient
time 10 make the necessary inquiries
on these points, and it may even be
limited that YOU are not nearly so SEN
sibIe as you were considered to be half
an hour before In all this Americans
only show how extremely English they
are.R
