AMERICANISM FIRST DUTY,
SAYS SENATOR SHERMAN
Tells World Court Congress Serving Humanity Here Is
Best Service We Can Render the Whole World
P~hrasemaking an Idealism.

Politics. personalities and p~artisanship
are the three Ps which are taboo In the
speeches that are being made at the
World Court Congress. Therefore Law
renee Y. Sherman. Republican United
States Senator from Illinois. could not
have had recent utterances Of President
Wilson in mind when in Carnegie Hall
last night ne dwelt on this country's
duty TO humanity. And purely academic
was the applause that capped these
sentences:
Humanity. like effective charity. be-
gins at home and proceeds to other
regions after we have relieved the neces-
stiles at our own door. Our first duty
Is TO Americans. We can best serve
other nations by remembering ever that
~ are and must be an American ma
lion. We can 70 best serve ourselves,
for we W our service mrs, 10 the hu-
itanlty OF our own country as The
practical way of serving the humanity
of the world.
Senator Sherman's topic was The
Duty of Neutrals in Creating a World
Court lie said in part.
IN our union there is strength only
for Americanism In idealism. In
phrases. In a mere abstraction of hui
manity interpreted to entangle us IN
an alien war there IL neither Anne icau-
ism. patriotism nor humanity to "
own people or to the world. We nu-t
be neutral. Nothing but the las OF
self-defence will justify war.

minded of the lad who was speaking
a piece in school which was entitled

fairly well until he arrived at the
place where his eagle was soaring

bring his eagle down and start all
over again, and when the eagle
reached the same altitude his mem

ing his head a moment, he finished
by saying: "By thunder she got
away"
F. D. started out bravely with a
well-defned idea, but ''by thunder
she got away" she rambled off on
"big business" finding out who our

WHAT THE GUARDIANS ARE

.
Public Forum, July %, under the cap
ton who Is Victimized," is very
amusing. The provincial mind al
ways is. This friend wants to know
why, if Mr.. Loeb dismissed So teach
-ers because they were Catholics, that
he did not mention the fact when
speaking before the N. E. A. in New
York. Mr.. Loeb did not dismiss any
body, There are II members on the
school board. The writer does not
believe, and has never said, that the
50 were not reelected on account of
their religious views; on the con-,
trary, the writer said in so many
words that Mr.. Loeb had uncon-
sciOusly or Intentionally lined up
with the Guardians of Liberty.
That Mr.. Loeb is too broad-mind-
ed and tolerant to care what religious
views the teachers hold is proven by
the fact that there were teachers af-
filiated with all kinds of societies and
sects among the vaunted SO.
F. D, begs to have>explained why,
if Catholicism was the issue, did a
DOaTQ MEMBER, GUARDIAN or Lib
erty, ask to have the name of a
Roman Catholic taken off the list"
Here. again, the fact that a board
member made such a request ought
to prove to F. D. that Catholicism
was not the issue with the school
board.
If the Guardians of Liberty have !
a member on the school board VINO !
made this request they should be |
proud of that member; they should |
keep in mind that it is political Ro- |
manism we are combating. There |
is a constant and deliberate effort |
being made to make it appear that
the Guardians are fighting the Ro-
man Catholic religion. This is false.
We are absolutely non-sectarian.

a rushing tenderness that swept away
all doubts and fears.

"Battleship" Lovett had ridden into
his last harbor, after year of the
greatest happiness that he had ever
known, leaving his entire fortune to
his son.
The young couple was returning
West. Bill had decided to turn over
his interests in the East to his fathers
representatives he had made the West

manhood-and Audry.
He was turning over his fathers
papers, when he came upon promis-
sorry note for $4,000
He started, stared at il; and all at
once the secret was disclosed.

She nodded again and. leaning her
cheek against his. looked at the note.
They read together:

"Old" Timmins did not at first rec.
ognize the stalwart, bronzed young
man who, accompanied by his wife
and four-year-old son, called at Bat
tleships" office. Then he was so flus-
tered that he could hardly take the
hand that was coldly outstretched.
"Wild Bill" was as much en-
barrassed as Timmins at the meeting
He had forgotten all about the old
man. Seeing him was like meeting
one returned from the dead. All his
past follies seemed to look at him from
Timmins eyes.
But Timmins was forgotten again in
the reunion. Imperturbable old Bat

kissed his daughter-inlaw and grand
son.

Il was afraid that l should never
see you again." said the old man husk-
fly.
"Old" Timmins heard that. He had
followed Bills career with the interest
of one who had devised the means of
redemption. Now his scheme seemed
to have recoiled on him. He imagined
the intensity of the young mans re-
sentiment.
Il did my best for the lad" he NUT
tered; and, sitting down, he wrote out
letter Of resignation and sent it in
by the boy. Then he took down his
ancient hat from it's hook, clapped it
on his head and started into the
street.
But Timmins' legs were old, and
long before he had time to disappear
into obscurity his employer and Bill
were reading the note together.
Why, l meant nothing unkind," pro-
tested Bill.
Bring him back, then" said Bat
tleship."
Three bounds of Bills neither limbs
equaled fifty short toddles of Timmins.
The old man, struggling dismally
along the street, became aware of
giant who barred the way.
He looked up into Bills face.
Come back, you old fool" said Bill.
MIR. Lovett, IL"
Bill laughed and picked him up in
his arms. Carrying him like a strug-
Cling child, he rushed up the stairs
and deposited his burden upon the
floor of his fathers office.
"Timmins stays, and-I apologize to
him." he said.
The best thing | ever heard you
say, young man." said a remembered
voice.
Mr.. Groat, the lawyer, had come in
to complete the reconciliation.
