is followed by some other nation. Some
times the influence is incidentally eX-
erted as when, for example. a nation,
in the extension of its commerce, in
troduces its language and enlarges the
horizon of the people with whom it
trades. This incidental benefit confer

watched the stimulating influence of

has received through translation the
best that has been written and spoken
in other countries.
He who learns this language, there
fore, is like one who lives upon a great
highway where he comes into daily
contact with the world. Without dis
paraging other modern languages, it
may be said with truth that whether
one travels abroad or studies at home.
there is no other language so useful
at the present time as that which we
employ at this banquet board, and the
nation which is instrumental in spread
ing this language confers an inestima
BILE boon even though the comforting Of
it be not included in its general pur
pose. England has rendered this Serv
ice to the people of India and the
United States is rendering the same
service to the people of the Philippines,
while both England and the United
States have been helpful to Japan and
China in this way.
Must he More Than Incidental
But the advanced nations cannot con-
tent themselves with the comforting of
incidental benefits. If they would JUS
tify their leadership they must put
forth conscious and constant effort
for the promotion of the welfare of the |
nations which lag behind. Incidental
benefits may follow even though the
real purpose of nation is wholly |
selfish one, for as the sale of Joseph |
into Egypt resulted in blessings to his |
family and to the land of the Pharaohs, |

But nations cannot afford to do evil |

term, must. intend benefit as well as
confer it; they must plan advantage,

FOR SENATORIAL CONVENTION

Not Elect Him Even Though He

Chicago, July 5.-Richard Yates in
his candidacy for United States SEN
ator to succeed Shelby M. Cullom has

For this reason he now is urging his
leaders in every county to put out dele

tions.
He is making fight not only for the
popular vote allowed under the new
primary law, but also for the legisla-
tive candidates to be nominated by the
republican senatorial conventions.
Influenced by Reports.
In this he may have been influenced
by reports TO the effect that the Illinois
legislature will not elect him to sue
ceed Shelby NJ. Cullom even if he carry
the popular vote by $4,000 or more.
Such statements have been made by
be in the next legislature. In some
senatorial districts it would be possible
for legislator to vote for Cullom even
if Yates carried his district.
Delegate Tickets Wanted.
AS precatuiOn the former governor
is instructing his friends in the various
counties to put up delegate tickets for
him in the different senatorial districts
and thus give him a chance to secure
