indians who infested the staked plains
and the prairies OF the unsettled south

Pseuelo Patriotism.

In too many Instances. patriot
ism takes the form of devotion to
tryants and so,eriens. instead Of
TO the land aud It's institutions.
IT is this false patriotism that
leads to destructive warfare.
True patriotism is a>real love of
country, for its freedom. for its
laws, and for the people OF the
country. The American D. ople
in most cases have the true form
of patriotism, Il love of Anerica
for what it means to them; too
often, European patriotism is
that foolish freuzy that leads
millions of men to be butcllered
10 suit Il monarch's ambition.
We have no use for that kind of
patriotism. The wealth
is the only proper form of gov
ernment. The divine right of the
people is the only criterlan of
good government

shall approach the subject as the

ries win endeavor 20 record In writ
ing the supremacy of American men
and industries In the worlds affairs
and perptuate an appreciation of our
marvellous Industrial achievements by
presenting simple facts, figures and
comparisons that are overpowering in
their convictions.
America holds her proud place
among the nations of the earth today
on account of her supremacy in trans
portation facilities. The mighty minds
Of the age are engaged in the prob
lens of transportation, and the great

transportation systems of the United

In the discussion of transportation,
let us consider separately our Rail-
ways, Telegraph and Telephones, Elk
press, Public Highways, Steamships,
Street Railways, Interurban and other
forms of transportation, and this ar
ticle will deal with railways
The United States has the largest
mileage, the best service, the cheap

wages, and we have the most efficient

world. They stand as a monument to
