JUSTICE HARLAN's PATRIOTISM
HIS RINGING UTTERANCES 70
ANTI-IMPERIALISTS AND DE-
TRACTORS OF THE COUNTRY.


Philadelphia, Feb. 21.-At the excl
cises this evening celebrating the
opening of a new law school building
for the University Of Pennsylvania,
Justice Harlan, of the United State Su-
preme Court, said:
"Our country has reached a critical
and momentous period, and the utmost
vigilance and the most unselfish pa
triotism are demanded from every
genuine American. The time has come
when we must be Americans through
and through. We have no right to turn
our backs upon public affairs or to be-
come Indifferent to the fate OF our in
stitutions Still less have we a right
to enjoy the blessings and protection
Of this glorious land while continually
saying and doing that which serves to
strengthen the hands of the enemies
of the republic.
Some people have a strange way in
which to manifest their devotion to
country. They rarely see in the opera
tions of the government anything to
approve and they never fail, when the
nation is having a dispute with other
people, to say that our country is
wrong and our adversaries right. And
they do this even while our soldiers
are in far-distant lands endeavoring to
maintain the rightful authority OF the
nation.
Some have not hesitated to say in
the most public manner that those who
from jungles ambush and shoot down
our brave soldiers. are fighting the bat
ties Of liberty and doing only what
they have a right to do, what their
honor requires. These men are never
happier than when attempting to per-
suade their fellow citizens that Ameri-
ca is entering upon a dark and perilous
future, and that all so far accomplish
ed for the liberty and wellbeing Of the
people will be lost if the nation does
not retrace its steps. For my own
part. l believe that a destiny awaits
America such as has never been vouch-
safed to any people, and that in the
working out of that destiny under th'
headings of Providence, humanity
everywhere will be lifted up, and
power and tyranny compelled to rec
ognize the fact that God is no re
specter of persons and that He ha:
made of one blood all nations of men.
Let us have an abiding faith that
our country will never depart from thu
fundamental principles of right anC
justice or prove recreant to the higf
trusts committed to it for the benefit
not alone of the American people, bu
of all men everywhere on all the earth
We may escape storms In the future
for nothing worth preserving has eve
been achieved by individuals or by ma
tions except through trials and sacri
fees. Take courage in the belief tha
the American people are pure in hear
and have no desire or purpose othe
than to maintain the authority of thi
nation wherever our flag floats, an
preserve unimpaired to the latest gen
Grafton the free institutions give
them by the fathers. Taught by tn
experiences of the past we will stan
at our respective posts of duty in tn
firm conviction that the kim Prov
dence that has always watched owe
this people will preserve our heritag
of constitutional liberty"

Do noble things-not dream them
