] A NATIONAL CREED.

An editorial in the Herald OF Mon
day, May "a, suggested that on In
dependence Day, in addition to sing
ing the national anthem, the men,
women and children Of the United
States should join in reaffirming
their Americanfsm by reciting some
thing like this national creed: -
II believe in the United States, one
and indivisible; in her mission as
the champion of humanity the
friend Of the weak and distressed;
in the singleness, dignity and In
volatility of American citizenship;
in the validity of our national trad1-
tons; in peace with honor; in
friendship with all nations that re-
spect our rights; in entangling alli-
ances with none; in reasonable prep
arations for national defense by
sea and land; in Sinking no sacri-
flee needed to hand down to the fu-
ture the priceless treasures .bequeath-
ed to us by the past; in the necessi-
ty of keeping the western hemisphere
free from the intrusion of European
institutions and ambitions; in the
capacity of free men for self-goyern-
ment; in the love of home and coun-
try; and in the unflinching resolution
that government Of the people, for
the people, by the people shall not
perish from the earth.

rae IA GREATNESS OF WILSON,

(From the Cedar Rapids Gazette. }
While Americans are justly pra1s-
fnR President Woodrow Wilson, and
while foreign, peoples are looking to
him as they have never looked to an
other American executive or to the
ruler Of any other country, let us not
forget the thing }that made Wilson
great or allow even his personality to
oyer-shadow the principle that makes
for perfection. He himself tWould
give the same counsel. as;
Wilson was brought up to believe
and has taught: "Let him VINO
would be greatest among you be
servant of ALL" Wilson Is great IN
exactly the same measure as ne is
such a servant. He was chosen for
his place by the American people and
reflects as nearly as any man could
do the American characterize self
poise; the calmness Of conscious
power; the love of justice felt
only by the truly strong; the conf
dent justification of a clean con-
science; the hopefulness Of a robust
nation in. its early youth; the apprea
citation Of righteous dealing with TEL
low men as the surest promise OF fu-
ture success; the generosity that
comes from plenty so bount1ful as
to shame greed; the courage devoid
Of boastfllness that holds necessary
sacrifice to be an incident OF lasting
security. n ~ 81 +,
Wilson is great because he IS an
honest servant of the great, and
through him the republic views the
world as through an eye undimmed
by feyers and undaunted by fears.
Il And does anyone forget the man
who sits at his right hand-the man
who through the stormy days OF the
Baltimore convention a was tossed
about upon the waves Of angry OPP
position as the mariner Is tossed up
on, the waves Of a storm-swept sea!
Let us recall again that that man,
greeted by misses, hooted as he at
tempted to speak, even subjected TO
blows by imprisoned enemies,
fought for Woodrow Wilson and won
such victory as never before y had
graced the banners Of an orator or
the delegated representative OF y a
state. Let us remember that in the
elevation of Woodrow Wilson, as was
proper, b the west and east joined
hands and that the hurricane or the
great plains as we'll as the breeze or
the coast ruffled his banner. The man
who led his fight need not be named,
but lie is honored by his chief and
by the world in position needing
such stability No one who remem-
bers the nomination of Woodrow Will
son will believe that his sec
rotary of state will advise surrender
when the American cause Is just.
