PATRIOTISM IS PRACTICAL
The task to which we have to adj
dress ourselves is a proof that we
(are worthy of the men who drew
this great declaration by showing
we know what they would have
done in our circumstances.
Patriotism consists of some very
practical things; practical, in that
lthey belong to everyday life, in
that they belong to no extraordi-
nary distinction but to those things
which are associated with our every
day commonplace duty. There are
some gentlemen, in Washington,
I,for example, who are showing
themselves to be patriotic in a
way that does not attract very
much attention. The members of
! the House and Senate, who stay in
hot Washington to maintain
quorum of the Houses, and trans
act public business, are perform
ing an act Of patriotism. | honor

many facts stated about the pre-
sent business conditions in this
country. For example, a great
many allegations Of facts, at any
rate, and it is strange that these
facts, as stated, do not tally with
each other.
EVILS OF CALAMITY HOWL

Now the truth always matches
the truth, and when | find gentle
men insisting that everything IS
going wrong, when it is demon
strable that most things are going
right, | wonder what they are try
ling to do. Are they trying to
serve the country, or are they try

put hope into the heart OF men who

fare they putting Encouragement
Eand despair into these hearts? II

WHAT THE DECLARATION
MEANS

But have you ever read the De-
claration of independence? When
you have heard it read have you
attended to it's sentences? The Dec
laration of Independence is not a
Fourth of July grafton. The Dec
laration of Independence was a
document preliminary to war. 1t
involved a vital piece of business,
not piece of rhetoric. And if you
will get further down in the read
ing than it's preliminary passages,
where it quotes about the rights OF
men, you will see that it is a very
specific body of declarations con-
cerning the business of the day.
Now the business Of our day for the
matter with which it deals is past
the business Of revolution, the bus
mess of 1776. The Declaration OF
Independence does not mean any
thing to us merely in its general
statements unless we can append
10 1t similarly speclflc Dody OIL
particulars as to what we consider
our liberty to consist OF.
Liberty does not consist, my tel-
low citizens, in mere general dec
larations as ii the rights Of man. 1t
consists in the translation OF those
declarations into definite action.
Therefore, standing here where the
Declaration was adopted, reading
It's businesslike sentences, we ought
tC ask ourselves, What is there IN
1t for us? There is nothing III 1t
for us unless we can translate II
INTO terms Of our own condition,
and Of our own lives. We must re-
duce 1t to what the lawyers call a
bill of particulars. 1t contains a
bill Of particulars-the bill Of par
ticulars of 1776-and, if we are to

A FUTILE APPEAL

The German Imperial Chancellor
pays no high compliment to the intel
ligence Of the American people when
he asks them to believe that "the
war is life-and-death struggle be
tween Germany and the Muscovite
races OF Russia and was due to the
royal murders at Serajevo."
To say that all Europe had to be
plunged into the most devasting wal
of human history because an Austrian
subject murdered the heir to the Aus
trian throne on Austrian soil in a
conspiracy in which Servians were
implicated is too absurd to be treated
seriously. Great wars do not follow
from such causes, although any pre-
text, however trivial, may be regard
ed as sufficient when war is deliber
ately sought.
The record in this case show thai
every demand which Austria made on
Servia was granted except one, which

a LITTLE RHAPSODY

The following rhapsody which is
sent us by one of our rising literati
will some day make Harry Floyd sit
up and take notice:
themselves with the secret and silent
workings of nature have not gazed
with deepest admiration on the great
beauty and perfection exemplified in
these creations of Providence: The
tiny bud encased in coats of mail, so
that the rude blasts may not visit it
too roughly; the enamelled blossom
unfolding her virgin bosom to the
warm embrace of vernal air, bespang-
ling the orchard with starry spray
scarcely less beautiful than the gilt
tering host above, dancing in rainbow
hues, and fiinging on the breeze a
fragrance richer than that of Ceylon's
Isles; sweet harbinger of bountiful
harvest! the luscious fruits, Gods
best gift to man, save lovely woman,
the velvet peach, mantled with beau
tvs softest blush, and vieing with the
oriency of the morning; the delicious
plum, yelled with silvery bloom, over
robes of azure, purple, or cloth of
vegetable gold; the royal grape; the
brilliant cherry; the melting pear and
the FURNISHED apple, tempting human
taste from the mother of our race to
her last fair daughter? But what
pencil can sketch the changing lens
the varied magnifcence and glory
when Pomona pours from her over
| flowing lap the varied treasures OF
the ripening year"
The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1914-08-21

was only conditionally refused, and
although this demand involved the
very sovereignty of Servia the govern
ment offered to submit the case to
mediation. Diplomacy that sought
peace and could not obtain peace out
of such a situation would have to be
in the last stages of imbeciliy. In
such circumstances the responsible
ty for war rests upon the nation that
begins it.
Nor is the Imperial Chancellor's
declaration that "the war is life-and
death struggle between Germany and
the Muscovite races of Russia" con
vincing in the slightest degree. Sc
far as the Russian menace to Ger
many is concerned, our friend the
Staats-Zeitung is much nearer the
truth when it's editor, Mr.. Ridder
boasts that mo Russian army ever
waged a successful war against a first
class power"
The life-and-death struggle between
Germany and the Moscovite races oil
Russia is a diplomatic fiction invent
ed after German autocracy, taking ad
vantage of the Servian incident. SET
forth to destroy France. 1t was
through no fear Of Russia that Ger
many had massed most of her army
near the frontiers of France, leaving
only six army corps to hold Russia
in check. 1t was through no fear OF
Russia that Germany violated hel
solemn treaty obligations by invading
the neutrality of Belgium and LuXem
burg. Germans policy as it stands
revealed by her military operations
was to crush France and then make
terms with Russia. The policy has
failed because Of the unexpected
resistance of the Belgians and he re-
fusal of Great Britain to buy peace at
the expense of her honor.

lor pleads are held in the highest re-
spect everywhere; but French cul-
ture and civilization are quite as i'm
portant to the world as German cul-
ture and civilization France has con
tributed more to humanity than Ger
many, and in a contest between Ger
man autocracy and French republican

cellor to appeal to the American peo-
pie for sympathy on the ground that

The first thing to consider Is the

consumer OF nitrogen.
The land should be- turned and sub.
soiled in the fall if possible. DO not

this would do more harm than good.

wet in the spring.
