ELEVATION OF LABORING CLASS

civilian Ellery Channing.)
In spite of all their doubts and
SCOTS, human nature is still most dear
to me. When l behold it manifested
in its perfect proportions in Jesus
Christ, l cannot but revere it as the
true temple of the Divinity. When [
see it revealed in the great and good
of all times, l bless God for those
multiplied and growing proofs OF it's
high destiny. When l see it bruised
beaten down, stif1ed by ignorance and
vice, by oppression, injustice, and
grinding toll, I weep for it and feel
that every man should be ready to
suffer for it's redemption. l do and
1 must hope for its progress. But in
saying this, | am not blind to it's i'm
mediate dangers. | am not sure that
dark clouds and desolating storms are
not even now gathering over the
world. When we look on the myster-
ious history of the human race, we
see that Providence has made use Of
fearful revolutions as the means OF
sweeping away the abuses OF ages,
and of bringing forward mankind TO
their present Improvement.

THE SORROWS OF CHILDHOOD.

The griefs of children are just as
sincere and deep as those of grown
people, albeit the child forgets its
cares more quickly in the rebound to
some new joy. Too many children
lose the fine bloom of their sensitive
natures through the jeers of grown
up sisters and brothers or even par
ents, who fail to realize that the
child's worry is just as real to them,
just as sincere a thing as the business
worry of fathers or the home prob
lem of mothers. Isn't it better to
talk to the little one, sympathize with
him or her, and find out and smooth
the difficulty than to have them think
father or mother doesn't care?
The world is bad enough without
making it rough place for these lit
tie, puzzled, defenseless ones.

BEING AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.
Chicago Tribune.)

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 consider
ate, slow to wrath, magnificent in it.
He went where he pleased and, with
in the law, did what he pleased. The
power Of the American government
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1916-08-30

followed him If he chose to sell a
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 car
ry knitting needles to Afgan chiefs.
He could go with a 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.
It is to President Wilson'S credit
that he has destroyed this illusion. An
American citizen now may go almost
anywhere he is forbidden to go and
in almost any fashion that is not de-
MED. He may do almost anything
that foreign nations say he may do
almost, but not quite. His own gov
eminent 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 Ger
many he may send a cablegram to the
United States saying that in his opin-
ion 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.
H 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 proper
ty in Mexico, if it be in some indie
structible 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
izenship is his Not since the Roman
with his "Civis Romanus sum" walked
the face of the earth everything has
like the power of American citizen
ship known. 1t is Mr. Wilson's work
In parts of the world the American
is afraid he will not be taken for an
Englishman; in other parts he is in
deadly fear he will be. He never
knows whether he will get punch
or a kick.
The Democracy is sure that the
American citizen like this. The Dem
ocracy is sure that the American cit
izan can control his trembling fng-
ers long enough to make n cross
where it will do the most good for
everything Democratic in the election
and, that patriotic duty performed,
put himself under the protection of
the nearest policeman and be escort
ed to a dugout where he can hide. We
are a grateful nation. HE kept us
out of war"

Oklahoma City, Sept. 23.-Of all
the cities in Oklahoma, Ardmore is
perhaps the most typically Kentuck-
ian. While all of the cities of the
state have a number of former resi-
dents of Kentucky listed among its
inhabitants, Ardmore was practically
built by people who had come to Ok
lahoma or the Indian Territory from
Kentucky and had settled in or near
where the city of Ardmore now
stands. The bone and sinew of the
city, the leading business and profes-
sional men of that section, the lead
ing bankers and merchants came here
years ago from Kentucky and began
the building of the city. These people
were not the ordinary emigrants, com
ing to a new country, but most OF
them were heads of families and
brought with them for those times
considerable wealth. The bulk of the
Kentuckians who came to that sec
tion were from western Kentucky
many of them from Crittenden coun'
ty. The Cruce brothers, five in mum

Committee Named.

Mayor Val Mullen appointed his
committee, composed of the very best
business and professional men of the
city, and this committee, busy men
as they are and were, agreed to settle
these matters without a cent OF re-
muneration. The only proviso that
the Santa Fe had to its proposal was
that no attorneys were to be en-
ployed or paid out of this money, but
that when the amounts were fixed that
the entire sum should be paid direct
to the person injured, or his repre-
sentatives, and that all property loss
es should be paid direct to the claim
ants.
This was a big stunt for a big cor
poration. 1t was big thing for the
city of Ardmore to aave within its
limits men big enough and great
enough to devote their time to the
arduous labors which they knew must
fall upon them for the months to
follow.
However, they went to work, or
ganized, and without loss of time
began to settle these losses.
AS a result, in less than year (the
year will be out next Wednesday,
the Santa Fe Railway company has
paid out within $4,000 of a million
OF money in settlement of the claims
caused by this explosion. In all, per-
sonal injuries and property losses.
S970,000 has been paid out to these
claimants, without one dollar OF ex-
pense to the persons holding the
claims. This does not include the
great loss sustained by the company
itself.
OF the members OF the committee
settling these losses, two of them
were former residents of Kentucky,
former Gov. Lee Cruce. chairman,
and Judge J. W. Harreld. AS a re-
suit OF the action Of the Saata Fe
railway and the work OF this citizens
committees today practically every
claim has been settled, the blocks of
buildings have been replaced with
newer and better and more modern
structures, the damaged buildings
have been repaired and the other
residents Of the city, catching the con-
tagion of building and improvement,
remodeled. repaired and repainted
their old buildings, and at this time

ance of a city built to order, built
