"THE UNITED STATES IS VET EN- GLISH LED AND ENGLISH
 RULED"

You Missed This You Missed Some
 thing.
 Says the San Francisco Examiner
 The other day in England at South hamption, an obeisk on the Esplanade was unveiled-in honor of the May flower.
 The Mayflower you know, is the ship which carried to this shore the ancestor of everybody who is "re- ] spectable.
 The obelisk was erected on the spot
 whence the Mayflower is supposed to have sailed with, at least, five or six hundred thousand passengers.
 Those who arranged the ,obelisk very wisely selected Dr. Woodrow Wilson's Ambassador to Great Brit ain, pr. Page, to make the important speech, and he Made It. We quote from his speech as pub lished verbatim in the London Daily Express, which was naturally quite | pleased with what the distinguished American representative" had to say Some of our readers missed Dr. Pages speech. That is pity, and to correct to pity we give them here the most beautiful gems from that speech They can do their own thinking about those gems after they have read them
 Said MT. Page, supposed to repre- sent this heterogeneous, hustling country.
 "The bond between us is the bond of blood.
 q say this with due regard to other bloods and other nations, that it is with us who speak the language Of Shakespeare that the responsibility o. ruling the world must rest"
 No mistake about that. If you don't now, and if you did not originally speak the language of Shakespeare then you have no share at all in ''the responsibility of ruling the world" /"
 This will be surprise, if not pleasure, to men of German blood and ancestery, to men of French, Italian and other ancestry outside of the Shakespeare class.
 Many of these, gentlemen who do not come from Shakespeare-talking na- .tion imagined that they had something to do with the responsibility of ruling the world even if their grandfather oI great-grandfather didn't happen to be born under an English king or queen.
 But now you learn from Dr. Page that if you don't hacpen to be of En glish decent, you are not in the world Also rans."
 Don't think that Dr. Page is not precise in what he has to say. He is very precise. And when he says tha the power and responsibility of ruling the world" must rest with those "who speak the language of Shakespeare, he means those Englishmen who speak that language.
 He doesn't mean Irishmen-and that l he makes plain.
 For, and agaln we quote his exact words as taken by the London "Ex- press" stenographer:
 "The Pilgrim fathers were not onl. Coded men, but they were \God-le6 i Englishmen.
 So, you see, God led certain men to this country. and He was careful to lead Englishmen that they might be the real Americans, and genuine ''rn- lers of the world" forever and ever Amen.
 Do you think that was all Dr. Page had to tell the Englishmen about ths of their blood?
 Not much. Dr. Page wanted it dis tinctly understood that God led En- glishmen to rule us when the Mayflow CT sailed loaded to the Pimsoll line with aristocrats, and God has also kept Englishmen ruling us ever since
 Once more-although you will prob ably find it difficult to believe tive quote the Ambassador from the United States in a public speech. These are the exact words of Woodrow Wilson's chosen American representative"
 Tn spite of the great fusion of races md of the great contributions which other nations have made to the one hundred millions of people across the ,ea, and to her incalculable wealth, THE UNITED STATES IS YET LEN 1LISH LED AND ENGLISH RULED.'
 Is not that delicious? And does it lot put in miserable class all those if us that are not English, or at the very least of Engish descent? l
 Does not the speech of Woodrow Wilson's representative take you back Woodrow Wilson's writing in the old lays before he began to run for Pres dent and when he used to tell us what sad, ''baser" people came from Southern Europe and other non-En- ,lish neighborhoods?
