Enthusiasm,

Enthusiasm is always connected
with the senses whatever be the OBJ
ject that excites it. The true strength
of virtue is serenity of mind com
bined with a deliberate and stead
fast determination to execute her
laws. That is the healthful con.
dition of the moral life; on the other
hand, enthusiasm even when excited
to representations of goodness, is a
brilliant but feyerish glow which
leaves only exhaustion and languor be-
hind.-kant.

Hits at the Hyphenates.

Inc Olly IuluS WILDlu our own DOT
ders that has given US grave concern
in recent months has been that voices
have been raised in America profess
ing to be the voices of Americans
which were not indeed and in truth
American, but which spoke alien sym.
pathies, which came from men who
loved other countries better than they
loved America, men who were par.
tfsans Of other causes than that of
America and had forgotten that their
chief and only allegiance was to the
great government under which they
live. These voices have not been
many, but they have been very loud
and very clamOrOus. They have pro-
ceeded from a few who were bitter
and who were grievously misled.
America has not opened it's doors in
vain to men and women out of other
nations. The vast majority of those
who have come to take advantage of
her hospitality have united their spirits
with hers as well as their fortunes.
These men who speak alien sympa-
thies are not their spokesman, but are
the spokesman of small groups whom
it is high time that the nation should
call to a reckoning. The chief thing
necessary in America in order that she
should let all the world know
that she is prepared to main
tain her own great position is that
the real voice of the nation should
sound forth Enthusiastically and in ma
jestic volume, in the deep unison of a
common, unhesitating national feel
ing. I do not doubt that upon the
first occasion, upon the first opportu
nifty, upon the first definite challenge
that voice will speak forth in tones
which no man can doubt and with
commands which no man dare gain
say or resist.
May l not say, while I am speak
ing of this, that there is another dan
ger that we should guard against
We should rebuke not only NANTES
t. tons of racial feeling here in Amer
lea where there should be none, but
also every manifestation of religious
and sectarian antagonism.
Here is the nation God has builded
by our hands. What shall we do with
It? Who is there who does not stand
ready at all times to act in her behalt
in a spirit of devoted and disinterest
ed patriotism? We are yet only il
the youth and first consciousness o.
our power. The day of our country's
life is still but in its fresh morning
Let US lift our eyes to the great tracts
| of life yet to be conquered in the in
| terests of righteous peace. Come, le
| US renew our allegiance to America

 With this statement Mr Bryan ex- poets to end for the present his eff forts to lay before the public the sit. uation which caused him to resign the portfolio of secretary of state. On Wednesday he gave out an explana. tion of why he left the cabinet rather than sign the last American note to Germany regarding submarine war. fare; yesterday he issued an appeal ito the American people" to stand for persuasion rather than for force in asserting rights under international law. he also made brief statement expressing qualification at what he termed a change of tone on the part of the ''jingo editors" regarding the note to Germany
 Referring to Communications as fellow citizens in whose patriotism l have entire confidence" NIT Bryan, besides asking them to use their fn- fuence with the German government, urged:
 That they forget. never to be re- called, any suspicion of lack of neu. trality or friendship toward the Ger. man people on the part of the presi. dent of the United States.
 That they should not attempt to connect negotiations between the United States and Germany with those between the United States and Great Britain because the cases are different"
