pbiladelphia, May 12.-"Humanity ersto was the keynote which 15,000 rorsons caught in the address by p,esdent Wilson to an audience which incuded 4,OO0 naturalized citizens who inst had taken the oath of allegiance to the United States. It was the first nublc utterance of the president since tbA sinking of the Lusitania and was taken to intimate the views and prob oble course of action of the executive toward that disaster which cost more than 100 American lives.
 While the president made no direct reference to the Lusitania, some of his address bore on this country's atti- tude in regard to peace. This senu- nent by him was regarded as particu- hrly expressive.
 There is such thing as a man being too proud to fight. There is such a thing as being right that it does not need to convince others by force that 1t is right
 Often the president was interrupted by spontaneous outbursts of applause. He spoke clearly, and so quiet was his audience that he could be heard dis tnctly in all parts of the great hall. Everywhere the read white and blue flag and bunting was displayed and a band during the evening played pa trOtc airs.
 Some of the passages in his speech which the crowd applauded most loud ly were these.
 T am sorry for the man who seeks to make personal capital out of the passions of his fellow-man. He has lost the touch and ideal of America, tor America was created to unite mankind by the passions that lift and mite and not by the passions that sep arate and debase mankind.

The greatest mistake the aver
age human being makes is taking
him or herself too seriously. If
we had all been born free and
equal" and turned loose at the
age of Fl with forty acres of
land and a mule" less than five
years would have shown who
should be taken seriously and
who relegated to the scrap heap.
1t would have been a simple case
of survival of the fttest" and
some of the shrewder ones would
have owned plantations and a pen
full Of Tennessee nightingales
while others would have hired out
for twelve dollars a month, board
and washing, and a mule to ride
every Sunday. This would have
inevitably been the case if every
body had been placed on an equal
footing and subsequent advan-
tages and handicaps had been the
same. The fellow who loafs his
time away and deplores the fact
that he never had a chance"
would have been a failure if he
had been born with the proven b
ial silver spoon in his mouth. On
the other hand, there is a man
conducting a successful manu-
featuring business in a Tennes-
see city who lived in an Arkansas
swamp until he was twenty-five
years old, could neither read nor
write and had to be loaded on the
train from a cattle chute to keep
him from getting away when the
whistle blew. Environment of
course has great deal to do with
the forming of our character and
yet is does not of necessity inter-
fere with or aid in making good
in the world. You simply are a
winner or you are not. Shake
speare informs us that some are
born great, some acquire great
ness and some have greatness
thrust upon them" 1t is our
experience that many of those
who are born great" shed it
with their baby teeth and an
equal number of those who have
greatness thrust upon them"
prove unequal to the burden. 1t
is the man who of his own effort
acquire s greatness" that is real
ly a great man. Dent take your
self too seriously, don't NOPE

have gone unrecognized but go
