crty and Justice
We have drawn our people, as you
know, from all parts OF the world, and
we have been somewhat disturbed

the spirit of America. and have loved

the country of their adoption.
WHAT AMERiCANISM
REALLY CONSISTS IN
we have talked "a great deal about
.Americanism. 1t ought to be a matter
of pride with us to know what Amer
icanSm really consists in. Americana
ism consists in utterly believing the
principles Of America and putting them
first as above anything that might by
chance come into competition with it.
And !. for my part, believe that the
American test is a spiritual test. If
man has TO make excuses for what
he has done as an American. | doubt
his Amcricanism. He ought to know
at every step of his action that tho
motive that lies behind what he does
is motive which no American need
be ashamed Of for Il moment. Now we
ought TO put this test to every man
known that nobody who does not put
America first can consort with us. But
we ought to set them the example.
We ought TO set them the example by
thinking American thoughts, b. enter
tanning American purposes. and those
thoughts and purposes will stand the
test OF example anywhere in the world,
for they are intended for the better
ment OF mankind
