A NATIONAL CREED.

The Chicago Herald suggests tn,
'1Ilowing as a National Creed b,
which the men. women and children
Of America may affirm their Ameri.
canism:
believe In the United States, one
and indivisible; in her mission as the
champion OF humanity--as the friend
OF the weak and distressed; in the
singieness. dignity and involability OF
American citizenship: IN the validity
Of our national traditions; in peace
with honor; in friendship with all ma
tions that respect our rights: in en-
tangling alliances with none; in rea-
sonable preparations for national de-
Tense by sea and land; In shlrking no
sacrifice needed to hand down to the
future the priceless treasures be-
to us by the past; in the me-
cessity Of keeping the western hemi-
sphere free from the tntrusi0ns OF
European institutions and ambitions;
IN the capacity Of free men for self
government; in the love OF home and
and in the unfiinching reso-
ufion that government OF the people,
or the people, by the people shall
lot perish from the earth.
