of pride with us to know what Amer
icanism really consists in.
.Americanism consists in utterly
believing in the principles of America
and putting them first above anything
that they might by chance come into
part believe that the American test
is a spiritual test. If a man has to
make excuse for what he has done as
an American, I doubt his American
ism. He ought to know at every step
of his action that the motive that lies
behind what he does is a motive which
no American need be ashamed of for
a moment Now we ought to put this
test to every man we know. We ought
to let it be known that nobody who
does not put America first can consort
with u.s. But we ought to set them the
example. We ought to set them the
example by thinking American
thoughts, by entertaining American
purposes and those thoughts and pur-
poses will stand the test of example
intended for the betterment of man
kind.
Stands on Monroe Doctrine.
You have heard of the Monroe doc
trine, gentlemen, you know that we
are already spiritual partners with
both continents of this hemisphere
and that American means something
which is bigger even than the United
States and that we stand here with the
glorious power of this country ready
to swing it out into the field of action
whenever liberty and independence
and political integrity are threatened
anywhere in the western hemisphere.
And we are ready-nobody has
authorized me to say this but I am
sure of tive are ready to join with
the other nations of the world in see
ing that the kind of justice prevails
everywhere that we believe in.
Il am an American, but l do not
believe that any of us loves a buster
| ing nationality, a nationality with a
| chip on its shoulder, nationality with
its elbows out and its swagger on. We
love that quiet, self respecting. un-
| ccnquerable spirit which does not
strike until it is necessary to strike
and then strikes to conquer. Never
since 1 was a youngster have I beer
afraid of the noisy man. l have al.
ways been afraid of the still man
have always been afraid of the uuie
man. My conception of American il
a conception of infinite dignity, alone
with quiet, unquestionable power
ask you, young gentlemen, to join will
me III that conception and let us all il
our several spheres be soldiers to
gether to realize it.

No Third Expedition.
Capt. Ola Bell, with one troop of

they were seen at Webb, in the same
county, supposedly, intent on destroy

tured two.
This morning a posse under the
sheriff of Webb county ran afoul of
the bandits in the vicinity of Cactus

patches mentioned the numerical
strength of the outlaws

Lieutenant Colonel Waterman at
