Allenhurst y. j.. July 4.-Patriotism--
Of the kind that endures-was the keynote
Of the Fourth of July celebra ton of the
New Jersey Society Of the Cincinnati at
jts annual meeting at the Alenhurst Club
to-day. 1t was the one thing that was
rampant among the score or more mem
bers of the society who journeyed to this
cool and charming seashore town to cele-
brate in their own quiet way what to
them is the most sacred day of the year
For the Society of the Cincinnati is
composed Of the hereditary descendants
of officers who fought In the Revolution
airy War and for generations 1t has been
their custom TO hold two meetings
year-one on Washingtons Birthday, the
other on the Fourth of July, the latter
being the big event.
To-day's celebration was in the form
of luncheon, at which number of well
known speakers enunciated the principles
of real patriotism in way that made
every member and guest proud that they
were Americans Former Senator john
d. Prince, Of Passaic County, also pro-
lessor of languages at Columbia, was the
orator of the day. He made a stirring
plea for a greater development of pa
triotism among the foreigners who come
within our borders He cited the actions
of some of the l. w. w. leaders in de-
nouncing the American flag in Paterson
as showing how necessary 1t is to incul-
cate patriotism among the foreigners VINO
come here Professor Prince said, N
part:
American Patriotism Different.
"Our American civilization has aimed
throughout it's entire life to foster the
spirit Of brotherly feeling, and with such
success that this characteristic is the
first impression which the foreign trav-
eller gets on arrival in the United States.
He is Immediately struck by the attitude
Of general kindness. of fellowship. of the
sense of duty Of man TO man, which pre-
walls almost universally in this land Of
ours There is no other love of country
in all the world just like ours. There is
nowhere so jubilant or so decisive pa
triotism as ours.
IF properly understood there is no
nobler feeling than patriotism II means
the certain belief that our country has
mission; that this nation was born to do
something in the world which can be done
by no other people, and that we are will
ing to sacrifice all that is in US TO &C
complish this unique aim. Our goal has
always been 10 teach the true liberty and
the brotherhood of all mankind without
encroachment Of class upon class Pa
triotsm does not mean hatred Of foreign
ers OF tendency to ignore the fact that
other nations have a place in the world
as well as ourselves 1t does not enttle
US to sneer at others. but rather 70 pro-
coed confidently with our own mission in
the education of the world.
''All honor to the veteran in Paterson
who not long ago feared not to raise his
voice for the American flag and eli It
stands for when an irresponsible agita-
tor announced TO fevered audience that
the days are soon coming when the coors
of our standard are to be blended into the
single red hue OF the apostles Of this anti
nationalism. We may be thankful that
this New Jersey veteran was the spOkes-
man Of thousands Of Americans who still
hold fast TO the doctrine of the home. to
the doctrine Of the state. which is only
the extension Of the principle OF the Amer
lean home. and to the doctrine of the
nation composed Of the locally independ-
ent. yet mutually agreeing, states We
should not bear patiently with those who
teach class hatred. contempt for religion
and disrespect for the marriage tie and
would set up in place of these the imagi-
nary personihcation of the people. taken
collectively, In which pale phantom they

uality and to turn the citizen into mere
cog in an ever-turning and irresistible
wheel
NO other nation has so high-strung a
patriotic emotion as the United States
and no one really needs just this fevered
feeling so much as we do. Only the
most unquestioning patriotism can make
our population, composed so largely OF
alien races, forget their diverse tradi-
tions and weld them compactly into
