BIGGEST LAND DEAL
Secretary Daniels Says 1t Was the
Louisiana Purchase.

Omaha, Nov. 1S.@Josephus Daniels,
secretary Of the navy. was the guest
Of honor at luncheon given by the
Omaha Commercial club, and made
an address devoted almost wholly to
the history Of the region vast of the
Mississippi and the achievements of
the people inhabiting it. Great credit
was given to the foresight Of Presi-
dent Jefferson, who obtained this vast
domain as a part Of the United States
at q comparatively Insignificant price,
Mr.. Daniels referred to the fact that
soon after the cession Of louisiana to
the United States by France war
broke out between the latter nation
and England. He expressed the
thought that had not this territory
been acquired by the United States.
1t would have been promptly seized by
Great Britain and might today be q
part Of Canada.
The several attempts made by Pres
ident Jefferson to explore the terri
tory were described to show that he
recognized the importance OF early
development OF its vast resources. The
Louisiana purchase, he said. was mot
only the biggest real estate deal ON
record. but the greatest triumph In
the career OF Thomas Jefferson and
one OF the most important events in
the history Of the United States.

That there are great many people
in this world deficient in a proper re-
spect for the rights Of others Is per-
fectly well recognized fact.
But that there are also people den-
Gent in a proper respect for their own
rights is less generally realized. But
I think there are.
And furthermore think they do .
great deal Of harm in the world.
For you will seldom find an excess
sively meek person who never at
tempts to defend his rights without
finding about him people whom he has
gotten into the habit of encroachine
on the rights OF others.
Self-sacrifice and self-effacement are
without doubt medicinal for the soul.
but is it right for any one person to
attempt to keep all the soul tonic OF
the family for himself
And then againsI do not think it ID
right to let any one without reason
can.
