IN humble circumstances who have ris-
en- to great achievements Within the
last As years we have had presidents
who were Of the plain people-one d
lailsplitter in his youth, another the
driver of canal boat, the third tail
or. II they had had daughters for
whom there were titled suitors the
question Of blood" might have been
iaised and European society might
have decided these nlebiap descendants
of American presidents. And yet d
sns n who has been elected pres. dent Of
the United States has attained far
higher station than that of the her
editary monarch or the man who re
ceives patent of nobility. With one
possible exception, we know Of NJ
soyereigp of Europe who could bt
elected chief ma sistrate of this reprl,-
licif foreigners were eligible under
our constitution We know Of no king
OF emperor with one exception, who
could discharge the duties of presi-
dent with as great ability as the aver
age American statesman. Blood tells,
unquestionably, and we believe Ameri
can blood tells with more efficiency
and achievement, and, in the long
run, for humanity, than that Of any
other people.
There is no cause for sneering at
the king of Italy because he married
the descendent of a Hontenegrin shep-
herd. 1t is rather ridiculous assump
ton that a king is necessarily very
much greater in all the qualities of
manhood than a man not born in the
purple. AS matter Of fact, most Of
the kings Of history have not risen
above the level of the average man,
and many of them have fallen below
it. What king in the eighteenth cen
fury or since was equal to our own
Washington or his peer in patriotism?
Our American sovereigns are the
equals Of the old world nobility in all
|,ilat constitutes sterling manhood, and
it is amazing that old world society
or courts should raise the question Of
blood What American blood has
achieved is written in large history.
