Freedom from her fathers heavy
Yoke-freedom to work and read and
sing and study and grow-oh. how she
longed for this! But at what a cost
would she gain it If she had to harbor
the guilty conscience of an undutiful
and rebellious daughter and at the
same time cut herself off from the
sight Of the one being she loved best
in all the world!
She felt drawn toward Ivory's moth
er today. Three weeks had passed
since her talk with Ivory in the
churchyard. but there had been no pos
sibility of an hours escape from home.
She was at liberty this afternoon
relatively at liberty. for. although her
work. as usual. was laid out for her. it
could be made up somehow or other
before nightfall. She could drive over
to the B%oyntons' place, hitch her horse
in the woods neal the house. make her
visit. yet be in plenty of time to 60 up
to the river field and bring her father
home to supper.
Patty was over at Mrs. Abel Days
learning a new crochet stitch and help
ing her to start a log cabin quilt
Ivory and Rodman she knew were
both away in the Wilson bayfield,. No
time would ever be more favorable.
So. instead Of driving up Town House
hill. when she returned to the village
she kept ON Over the bridge.

CURRENT THINKING
THE HIGHEST PATRIOTISM
lFrom the Chicago News.l

GFrom the Chicago News.)
What it means to be an American
citizen was admirably set forth by
President Wilson in his address in
Philadelphia on Monday, to 1000
naturalized Americans. Much Of
what he said in that address will live
long. Not only should it stimulate
true patriotism, which is the patriot
ism of humanity, but it should stim
ulate right thinking with respect TO
international relations.
The highest form of patriotism was
defined most clearly, perhaps, in the
passage in which the president told
his hearers that they could not dedi-
cate themselves to America unless
they became thorough Americans In
every respect You cannot become
thorough Americans" said the pres
ident, "if you think of yourselves in
groups A man who thinks of him
self as belonging to particular
national group in America has not
yet become an American. and the
an who goes among you to trade up
on your nationality Is no worthy son
to live under the stars and stripes"
It Is true-and we should all realize
it-that thinking in terms Of groups
either with respect to nationality or
economic standing or divergences of
religion or any such divisions. is
denial Of the fundamental democracy
that most nearly expresses the ideal
out Of which grew this great nation.
While making Il clear to his hear
ers that no foreign born citizen Of the
United States should be expected to-
renounce his affection for the home
of his birth and the nation Of his Or
igin. the president gave them the ur-
gent advice not only always TO think
first Of America, but always to think
first Of humanity. You do not love
humanity he declared, If you seek
10 divide humanity into Jealous
camps. Humanity can be welded to-
gether by love, by sympathy, by
justice--not by jealousy and hatred, l
am sorry for the man who seeks TO
make personal capital out Of the pas
5lons of his fellow men He has lost
The touch and ideal Of America, for
America was created to unite man
kind by those passions which lift and
not by the passions which separate
and debase. We came to America
either ourselves or in the persons Of
our ancestors, TO better the ideals OF
men, to make them see finer things

m HE suggestion of civic re-
VI ceptions on July A, or
other appropriate days,
to foreigners naturalized in
each community during the
year is by no means fanciful.
There was a time when the
great privilege of American
citizens was conferred at
wholesale, almost indiscrimi-
nately, in crowded courtrooms,
as election day approached; /;
when inquiry into fitness was
perfunctory or wholly lacking;
when court fees were paid by
party committees which asked
a return in votes. The process
has since been somewhat per-
fected, but still has too little
that is calculated to make the
right kind of an impression on
the beneficiary.
Anything that will tend to
magnify in a proper way in the
mind of the new citizen the
value of the gift he has just
received and the Importance of
a right exercise of its privileges
will serve a good purpose.
Nonpartisan civic receptions of
the sort specified would facili-
tate the work of the great Am
erican melting pot.
Native-born citizens Just ar.
rived of age, as we'll as natural
lied citizens may properly be
included among the commun-
ity guests of honor at such re-
ceptions.-St. Louis Post-Dis-

" ttAAA tAAN NiAANoAO ANNN2sI
In a ruling announced on Saturday
the interstate commerce commission
has ordered the railroads owning ves-
sci lines on the great lakes to dis
pose of these holings. All the vessel
lines operating regularly between
Buffalo and western lake ports are
now owned by railroads. The new
ruling becomes effective Dec. /.
Therefore presumably it will not af-
feet navigation during the present
season.
Evidently the commission believes
that under the Panama canal act,
which forbids ownership by railroads
of boat lines competing with the land
lines of their owners, 1t had no dis
cretion but to compel their divorce.
If the commission had the power to
use its own discretion in this matter
the issuance of the order might not
have been deemed expedient at this
time. However. the fundamental is
sues involved had to be met sooner
or later and perhaps 1t Is as well that
there is to be little further delay In
meeting them.
In acquiring control of all the reg
ular vessel lines between Buffalo and
western lake ports the railroads were
not actuated by a desire to promote
lake traffic. Broadly speaking, they
sought to lessen the importance oil
lake carriers as competitors Of the
rail carriers. The public would DC
better off had the railroads never en-
tered the field of water transporta-
ton on the great lakes. 1t is possi-
BILE, however, that in the near future

Of things that divide and to make

Such passages from this remark
able address deserve to be cherished
by Americans as Lincoln's memorable
words at Gettysburg are cheriLhed.
They, like the words of Lincoln, are
an expression of the life purpose Of
this nation. A full understanding Of
these truths makes It easy to grasp
the presidents meaning when he
spoke of the man who is too proud
to fight" Deep significance lies in
his assertion that there is such a
thing as a nation being so right that
1t does not need to convince others
by force that It is right"

DON'T ROCK THE BOAT

NANITH the country's rela-
D tions with Germany at a
critical stage there is
but one course open to the Am
erican people and that consists
in giving loyal, united support
to the administration in what
ever action the president sees
fit to take.
The administration is in pos
session of all the facts which
includes much information of
which the public may be una
ware or regarding which there
may be doubt because of con-
flicting reports. 1t goes with
out saying the nation will be
justified in insisting that its
rights be respected and the
rules of the sea be observed.
But let this be done without
recourse to war. The world
has enough war underway al
ready. Half the world is drunk
and it behooves a country like
this to remain sober. America
has a higher duty than that of
participating in the present
fight. We can best serve civil
lization by keeping aloof if we
can and thus remaining in posi-
ton to aid a peaceful settle
ment when the time comes.
May the country be able to do
this. Meanwhile the task will
be made easier for the admin
istration if the people will keep
their shirts on.

boat"

Divorce of Lake and Rail Line

the facilities for freight traffic By wa
ter will be lessened because of the
action of the federal authorities in
driving out OF business the sole
owners of vessel lines operating be-
tween Buffalo and western ports, II
the railroads merely transfer their
holdings to friendly interests having
an Independent legal existence, the
situation may be made neither better
nor worse, II the boats are disposed
of in such a way that they are taken
out of the lake service, the facilities,
at least for time, may be greatly re
duced.
Because of the interstate commerce
commissions order the opportunity is
presented for a real revival of water
traffic on the great lakes. The
freight shipping interests, however,
must take hold of the matter If this
is to be the outcome. In earlier
years the railroads were able to drive
independent lake lines out of exist
ence by refusing them dock facilities
and through route and joint rate ar
rangements to the seaboard. Under
the interstate commerce law as 1t row
stands, refusals of this essential SER
vice are forbidden. Therefore II IS
in the power of the interstate COM
merce commission to guarantee to in
dependent vessel owners fair treat
ment at the hands of connecting rail
lines.
In these circumstances efforts
should be put forth by men interested
in securing low freight rates to devel-
op and maintain on the great lakes
vessels serving the interests Of ship
pers
