vented the British from conquering the

his foolish expedition TO Pennsylvania
Sir William Howe should have remained
In New York. Then at the proper time
he could and should have gone up the
Hudson valley and formed a junction
with the forces Of Burgoyne before the
disastrous battle Of Saratoga. Had this
plan, the one desired by the British
ministry, been carried out. a fatal
wedge would have separated the colon
les into two parts, and the people Of
New England on the one hand and the
people Of the middle or southern states
on the other hand would surely have
been subdued."

chance was not the controlling intu-

AMERICA FIRST.
How the Young should Observe the Ma
tion's Anniversary.

tion's Anniversary.
This Is the season when young
America celebrates the glorious deeds
of the forefathers, when they cut the
leading strings that bound them to the
old world, and stepped forth with the
independence of manhood.
1t took Rome FIVE hundred years, five
centuries of war, intrigue and AFRO
gance, 20 overspread southern Europe.
In little more than one century, says
the Youths Companion, America has
grown 10 a magnitude, in area and per-
haps in population also, equal TO that
of Rome in its most magnificent days.
"Civis Romanus sum- was the proud
est boast that could fall from the lips of
man at the beginning of the Christian
era. Is there to-day an American who
rates his citizenship in the great repub-
lie at lower value than Roman free
dom nineteen hundred years ago?
The day for spread eagle" brag Is
long past, but there is no reason why
we should hesitate 10 say, what not
we alone but all the people of the world
believe, that it is the destiny of this
country To become the greatest, the
strongest, the wealthiest, the most self
supporting, of all the nations of the
earth. II is already the greatest self
governing community the world has
ever seen.
How can we make it greater? BY
standing together as Americans. We
shall not magnify, but shall belittle
ourselves, if we swagger before our
neighbors-using bravado for the
strong, and insolence in our treatment
of the weak. But we should take
American views instead of party views,
when questions arise between this gov
eminent and others.
The motto America against the
world" would be a contemplate motto.
Yet is IL not better TO adopt even such
a motto than to take the side of the
world against America, or 10 be indiffer-
ent when the interests of ones own
country are asSailed?
The Fourth of July is good time for
us all 10 resolve that we will be Ameri-
cans at heart. Not that we will build
up our own country on the ruins of
others, but that when there is a clash
ing Of interests those of our native land
shall have our hearty support.
