nifty as accepted principles of human
society. Every American should feel
not only the greatest gratitude to
France, but the greatest admiration of

nation and a great race. 1t has edu-
Gated the world in the principles of
liberty philosophy, literature and in
dividual independence.
A Frenchman eats wisely, lives tenn
perately, he lis sane, patriotic, ener-
getic. And all Frenchmen, from the
highest to the lowest, actually think.
Every Frenchman has an intelligent
opinion on the questions of the day.
There is no country in the world where
the absolute feeling of equality is more
firmly established than among the
French The French nation knows
very few great fortunes and very few
paupers- 1t is practically free from
dyspepsia, from govt, from badness,
from drunkenness, and from special
privilege. The French did us a great
deal of good 125 years ago, when
Lafayette and his men and the money
and power of France enabled US to
beat the English. We derived much
benefit from France We would de-
rive even more today If our people
would study and appreciate the great
French nation free from class preju-
dice, free from plutocracy, free from
superstition, and forging always

her also got up and the two ladies sat
down together The passengers looked
