 building up of a great body of wealth and material power I find some men wbe when they think of America. do not think of anything else but that. But my friends, there have been other ratiOns. just as rich and inst os DOW erful in comparison with the other nations of the world as the United States is and it is a great leal more important that we should determine what we are going to do with our power than that we should possess it. You must remember. therefore. the clements with which we are dealing. Sometimes those of us who were born Tn this part of the country persuade our selves that this is the characteristic 'art of America. Here more than any where else has been preserved a great part of the original stock which set tle1 this country. particularly that portion of the stock which came from the British Isles I am not going to "vclude Ireland) and then I find T yreat many of my friends who live in

to Charlotte in those days as it now
 takes hours. 1 heard an Irishman say
 if the power of steam continued to
 increase in the next fifty years as it
 had in the last, we would get to
 Charlotte two hours before we left
 Washington. And as these processes of inter communication have been de- VelOped and quickened, men of this
 nation not only have grown closer
 neighbors, but men of different na-
 tions have grown closer neighbors
 with each other, and now that we
 have these invisible tongues that speak by the wireless through the trackless air to the ends of the world every man can make every other man in the world his neighbor and speak to him upon the moment While
 these processes of fermentation and travail were going on men were learn ing about each other, nations were becoming more and more acquainted 1 with each other, nations were becom- 1 ing more inter- related and inter con- munication was being quickened in every possible way, so that now the
 melting pot is bigger than America | It is as big as the world And what ' you see taking place on the other side of the water is the tremendous I had about said final processes by which a contest of clements may in ] Gods process be turned into a CO., ordination and cooperation of ele- ments.
 | For it is an interesting circum- stance that the processes of the war stand still These hot things that are in contact with each other do not
 make very much progress against each other When you cannot over come you must take counsel See, then ladies and gentlemen, what a lnew age we have come into. 1 should think that it would quicken the inn lagination of every man and quicken the patriotism of every man who cared for America. Here in America
 we have tried to set the example of
 bringing all the world together upon
 terms of liberty and cooperation and
 peace, and in that great experience
 that we have been going through
 America has been a sort of prophetic
 | SdIuDlt Ol llldllhlllt NOW lut NOTlu outside of America has felt the forcss ; of America, felt the forces of freedom
 the forces of common aspirations, the forces that bring every man and every l nation face to face with this queS- tion: What are you going to dc , with that power? Are you going to , translate it into force or are you going to translate it into peace and the sat isfaction of society? Does it. not in I terest you that America has gone be- 7 fore the rest of the world in making 7 trial of this great human experiment Q and is it not the sign and dawn O.

There is no finer sentence in the his
 tory of great nations than that sen tence which occurs in the Decalogue of Independence. I am now referring to the minor declaration at Phi'Diel- phia, to the Mecklenburg declsra ti9n
 in which MT. Jefferson said, "A decent
 respect for the opinion of mankind
 makes it necessary q am not now quoting the words eXactly) that we should state the grounds upon which
 we have taken the important step of asserting our independence.' A de- cent respect for the opinion of man.
 kind-it is as if Jefferson knew that
 this was the way in which mankind
 itself was to struggle to realize it's aspirations and that, standing in the presence of mankind, this little group of three million people should say Friends and fellow citizens of the

great moral world, our reason for doing this thing we now intend to state to you in candid and complete terms, so that you will never think that we were merely throwing off a yoke out of impatience, but that we were throwing off this thing in order
 that a great world of liberty should be open to mankind through our in-
 strumentality.'
 T would like, therefore, to think that the spirit of this occasion could
 be expressed if we imagined ourselves lifting some sacred emblem of eoun- sel and of peace of accommodation
 and righteous judgment before the
 nations of the world and reminding them of that passage in the Scrip i lures, After the wind, after the earth quake, after the firer the still, small voice of humanity"

New England, imagining that the his tory of :his country Is merely the his iofy of the expansion of New England and that Plymouth Rock lies at the foundation of our institutions. As a matter of fact. my fellow citizens, however mortifying it may be to them or to us, America did not come out of the south, and it did not come out of Kew England. The characteristic part of America originated in the mid dle states of New York and Pennsyl- vania and New Jersey. because there from the first was that mixture of populltlons, that mixture of racial stocks, that mixture of antecedents which is the most singular and dis tingushed mark of the United States.
 "The most singular fact about this great nation which we represent IS that it is made up of all nations or the world. I dare say that fr
 who came to America then and the men who have come to America since came with a single purpose. sharlns some part of the passion for human liberty which characterized the men who founded this republic but theN came with all sorts of blood in their veins, all sorts of antecedents behind them. all sorts of traditions in their family and national life, and America has had to serve as melting pot for oil these diversified and contrasted elements. What kind of fire of pure passion are you going to keep burn ing under the pot in order that the mixture that comes out may be nlrGed of it's dross and may be the fine gold of untainted Americanism That is the problems

 great cataclysm of the European war and almost every other nation in th' world became involved in a tremen
 dous struggle which was what, m.

 Don't you see that in this European

When it became apparent that
majority of the members of the ccm-
mite favored tie Tillman bill, the
chiefs of the "Armor Plate Trust"
lost their tempeIs. They sent SEN
atcr Penrose CT Pennsylvania to
warn the committeeman that they
must not do such revolutionary
thing.
III the government builds an eS-
NOR plate plant we will advance the
price OF armor pate 5000 ton"
was the threat delivered by Senator
Penrose. In this way, Penrose as
serted, the trust could wiring $20,-
900 900 extra from Uncle Sam before
the government Plant could be COM
pleted and put into operation.
In other words, 4 the government
refused to be robbed piece-meal, by
paying the trust en- exorbitant price
fer armor plate. it would be robbed
on wholesale scale, through an
unprecedented and entirely unjusti-
fable advance in price.

The arrogance of the trust aroused
every drop OF fighting blood in the
aged senator from South Carolina.
He announced that he would press

Then, what? WIN the trust dare
to carry cut it's threat and brazenly
'hold up" the national government
as a road agent might stick up a
stage driver?
II it does it will net be the first
time that the "armor plate trust
has been involved in treasonable
transactions. TN eI ty years ago a
congressional committee investigated d
the trust and found that armor plate
