Other 'EadS Than Ours
BEING AN AMERICAN CITIZEN


One of the positive. constructive
works of the Wilson administration is
the creation of the American citizen.
In the place of the illusion which
President Wilson found when he took
office now stands an embodied thing.
The illusion which Mr.. Wilson
found simulated a strong citizen of a
great republic. He was just and con-
siderate, slow to wrath, magnificent
in it. He went where he pleased and,
within the law, did what he pleased.
The power of the American government
followed him. If he chose to sell
photograph to Raisuli, he hunted up
Raisuli and tried to get an order. He
could safely peddle ice cream cones
to Malay head hunters and carry
knitting needles to Afghan chiefs.
He could go with line Of gas
ranges into the Soudan or distribute
tracts in the Yemen. The world was
his oyster and the power of his gov
eminent was the knife that opened it
for him. Nations said, There's an
American" and hats came Off
1t is to President Wilson's credit
that he has destroyed this illusion.
An American citizen now may go al
most anywhere he is not forbidden to
go, and in almost any fashion that is
not denied him. He may do almost any
thing that foreign nations say he may
do-almost, but not quite. His own
government advises him not to do
some things that foreign governments
would be willing he should.
Great Britain will not permit him
to write a letter to Sweden or Hol- |
land without knowing what is In the |
letter, but Great Britain has no OBJ
lection to his going into Mexico. 1t |
is his own government that tells him
not to go into Mexico
The American citizen may go to
Europe if the Germans will not tor
pedo the boat. He may sell goods to
Norway if he is careful not to sell
too many If he happens to be in
Germany he may send cablegram
to the United States saying that in his
opinion the Germans can withstand
the western offensive. He may send
it and pay tolls on it, but the person
to whom it is addressed will not get
it.
He may almost, in Germany, allow
it to be known that he is an American
without being insulted. At least he
will not be mobbed. He may in Can
ada almost persuade Canadians that
he belongs to a self-respecting nation.
That is more than he can hope to do
in Mexico
He may go into Mexico and live, if
he will say that he is an Englishman.
He can keep possession of his prop
erty in Mexico if it be in some indie
form. He can trade every
where the British permit him to. He
can go right through the open door
IN China and find himself in Japan.
The rare privilege of American cit
zenship is his. Not since the Roman

one day in the year when grown folk
should become children. For we do

Just about the best thing in the world
for us. But to do this Alright and in
the real spirit of childhood Christmas

Never a flower, fold on fold
