which apply to all men alike: for the spir-
1t OF brotherhood in American citizenship
when rightly understood and rightly APP
piled, is more important than aught else.
Let US scrupulously guard the special in
tereSts OF the wage-worker, the farmer,
the manufacturer, and the merchant, Civ
ing TO each man his due and also seeing
that he does not wrong his fellows; but let
us keep ever clearly before our minds the
great fact thaG, where the deepest chords
are touched, the interests OF all are alike
and must be guarded alike.
We must beware of any attempt to
make hatred in any form tie basis of ac-
ton. Most emDhatically each of US needs
| to stand up for his own rights; all men and
all groups Of men are bound TO retain their
self-respeet. and, demanding this same re-
spect from others, to see that they are not
injured, and that they have secured to
them the fullest liberty of thought and ac-
ton. But TO feed a fat grudge against 9TH
ers, while it may or may not harm them
is sure in the long run TO do infinitely
greater harm TO the man himself
The more a healthy American sees of
ones 1elleW-Americans the greater grows
his conviction that our chief troubles come
from mutual misunderstanding, from fail
ure TO appreciate one another's point Of
view. In other words, the great need is
fellow-feeling, sympathy brotherhood; and
is, therefore, of vital Importance that there
should be such association. The most seri-
Gus disadvantage in city life is the ten
dency OF each man to keep Isolated in his
own little set, and to look upon the vast
majority Of his feilow-citizens Indifferent
~, so that he soon comes TO forget that
they have the same red blood. the same
love and hate, the same likes ard disIikes,
the same desire for good and
the same perpetual tendency, ever
needing to be checked and cor
rected, TO lapse from good into evil
II only our people can be thrown together.
where they act on q common ground with
the same motives and have the same OBJ
jects, We need not have much fear Of their
failing to acquire genuine respect for one
another: and with such respect there must
finally come fair play for all
No man can do his duty who does not
work, and the work may take many diff
feTent shaLes. mental and physical. but Of
this you can rest assured that this work
can be done well for the nation only when
each of Us approaches his separate task,
not only with the determination to do it.
bur with the knowledge that his fellow
when he IN his turn does his task has
fundamentally the same rights and the
same duties. and that while each must
work for himself yet that each must also
work for the common welfare Of all.
On the whole we shall all go UP or go
down together Some may 60 up or go down
further than others. but disregarding spe-
cial exceptions the rule is that we must all
have to share in common something
Of whatever adversely or whatever
prosperity is in store for the nation
as a whole In the long run each section
of the community will rise or fall as the
community rises or falls. If hard times
come to the nation whether as the result
of natural causes or because they are in
vited by our own folly. all OF US will suffer.
Certain OF Us will suffer more, and others
less, but all viii suffer somewhat. If on
the other hand Providence and cur own
energy and good sense bring prosperity TO
Us. al viii share in thai prosperity. We
VIII rot all share alike, but something
each one Of Us will get Let US strive 20
MAKE the conditions of life such that as
nearly as possible each man shall receive
the share 10 which he is honestly entitled
and no more; and let US remember as the
same time that our efforts must be to
build Up, rather than TO strike down. and
that We can best help ourselves, not at
the expense Of others. but by heartily
working with them for the common good Of
each and all
