Democracy, with its entailed mixing
of all classes, public schooling with
its very attainable level of culture and
other attendant benefits, has this
evil-that they spread broadcast a
great deal of common sense that fits
men for concerted action under a
leader. but robs them of individuality.
When common sense preserves us from
cranks, fools and cheats, it is a good
thing, but when it cuts us off from
thinkers of distinction it is a bad
thing.

Mr.. F. A. Vanderlip, in Seribner's
Magazine, says; One of the most
striking differences between Europe
and America is the persistence of ra-
cial types there and here the tendency
to amalgamate all races into the Amer
lean. Time seems to bring only in
creased bitterness to racial antago-
nisms in Europe, while with us the
third generation, at the outside, is
completely merged into the American
type. l never have been able to I'M
derstand just what it is that keeps the
rancor of races at such a virulent
pitcl among near neighbors in Eu-
rope, when those same races viii here
renounce language, flag and racial
aspirations, and joyfully and complete
ly merge into the American-all pa
triotic, all loyal to the Government, all
in a generation more anxious to cover
every trace of foreign characteristics
with the mantle of sovereign American
citizenship than they are to perpet-
uate a single one Of those racial pre-
JUDGES which for generations made
enemies of their fathers"

That war is less injurious to our

cotton cloth in China-most of which
goes into Manchuria-was 100000

cloth is not a munition of war, so

coin, which had been placed in steel
box beneath the steps Of the family resi-
dence, which at that time was in Gay
street. Later, when the family removed
to q residence in North avenue. the gold
was dug up and was again buried by his
father in a similar manner. Bauern-
schmidt, it is said, desired to have some
cash on hand in case Of riot or tinan-

son buried the gold.
