A Wonderful Country

Here is a true dialogue between a young
American girl, who had beeh eleven years in
Europe and her mother, after the two had just
come home to America:
butter and everything you want withour get
ting tickets from the government?
Yes, dear
You can talk whenever you please and about
anything you pleases Yes, dear
tons and decorations made Of "copper" brass
and other metals. Yes, child.
Why, America must be wonderful
Yet there are persons amongst us who sigh
for that EuropNl There are critics with us who
tries, in which they could not say what they
please and could not live half as well as they do
here, to say nothing about their being conscripted
and set to fight machine guns and shells.
America has her faults, and some of them are
very grave, to be sure Nevertheless this land is
still Gods country" is still the hope of human
ity and the age here with us still remains golden.
The great evils OF living, and the various mis-
chances. no government no wisdom, no virtue can
cure. But as much as it Is permitted to the hui
man being to be happy America secures-not
alone to her few fortunate ones, but to her many;
not only to her own native children, but also to
all worthy pilgrims who come to her door.
A much greater chance to much greater multi
tude, America has furnished for more than
century. The fact is indisputable
The Isles of the Blessed are never at home.
II is human Illusion that Paradise fourshes in
some other place. But practical sense shows that
every man, woman and child in America is better
off here than anywhere else. Recognition of the
truth need not blind us to our imperfectons, or
hold us back from improvements. But recogn-
ton should deepen our sense OF gratitude to the
land that cherishes us, that has given us our
chance.
And il ever we grow irritated with democracys
indrections and bunderings, let US reflect that
elsewhere we should be not merely chaing. but
rebelling against wrongs, restrictions and hard
ships.
This is dear land and great one. Can we
not feel all of us, as fortunate children feel
toward fond, indulgent parent
Our interests absolutely are here Our hearts
should be likewise

Hughes Pledge to America.

Under the shadow Of Faneuil Hall, and where
Bunker Hill monument points the way to lofty
patriotism, Charles Evans Hughes gave out a
message to Americans that should be cherished
by all. 1t is direct challenge to wisconsin,
whose announced policy is not only rcpu-
diation of the platform OF his party, but tanta-
mount to poItroonism The account of that meet
ing, furnished by the Associated Press, says:
Mr. Hughes also declared that he would
maintain American rights and that he had
absolutely no patience whatever. with the
idea that an American citizen, following his
lawful pursuits, in any part Of the world,
should be left unprotected by the country
from which he came"
~ am amazed" Mr. Hughes said, that
it is suggested that proper attitude is that
the policy of protection should not be main
tanned because it threatens our peace.
is it possible that any such notion should
obtain in the shadow of Bunker Hill?" he
asked.
The audience fose to its feet and, wav-
ing thousands of Aperican flags, shouted in
answer: NO"
Mr.. Hughes emphasized this clear and reson-
ant note of true Americanism by reply to a
heckler, who demanded specific information as to
his policy 1--WE will not NEEDLE in affairs that
do not concern us; when we say we will respect
the rights of small nations, we will respect them
in reality. And it shall be understood in Mexico,
in Latin-America, and elsewhere, that American
rights with respect to lives and property shall be
protected" is Mr. Hughes pledge to Americans.
Contrast this with Mr.. Wilson's declaration that
Americans are only.to be protected at home, and
those who go abroad for any purpose do it at
their own risk

Cost Of Living Under Wilson.

-Four years ago the democrats were promising
the people the cost Of living would be reduced if
Wilson were elected and free trade tariff law
enacted. This was brought to pass, and the first
effects observed took the form Of hundreds Of
thousands in the bread lines and the reopening
of the souphouses that had been closed when Nc
Kinley was inaugurated in 1897. Then Wilson
brought prosperity" in the shape of the Euro
pean war and its enormous expenditure Of money
for munitions and supplies in the United States.
We are just now experiencing the full flood tuv
Of this prosperity" and investigation in Chicago
shows the cost Of keeping family has increased
81 per cent within the year since the wave hit US.
The democrats have switched their tune and are
now Boosting Of the imitation. in prices as bene-
fetal result Of their doings but their excuses will
not satisfy the man who is forced to pay dollar
for what he bought last year for so cents.
