Dickinson, n. d., March 14.-Be-
tween LOO and 1,500 people were
present this evening in the armory to
hear Hon. Henry D. Estabrook, re-
publican presidential candidate, speak
upon the issues before the people of
the United States today. His speech
was listened to by people who came
from all parts of The country to hear
the celebrated logician speak on
preparedness"
America Must Defend.
In the course of his remarks he
stated that America had more to de-
fend than just possessions, and said
in part:
"And America has more than her
physical possessions to defend.
These, and her opportunities, she
willingly shares with all who come
to her. But the thoughts that are
hers, the ideas that are hers and hers
alone, she is bound to defend always,
in all ways, and against all comers.
Emerson says that the soul of God
is poured into the world through the
thoughts of men. ''The world he
says, Stands on ideas, not on iron or
cotton; and the iron Of iron, the fire
of fire, the ether and source of all
elements is moral force. AS cloud
on cloud as snow on snow, as the
bird rests on the air and the planet
rests on space in it's flight, so do ma
tions of men and their institutions
rest on-thought."
Loyal German-Americans.
ut is my candid opinion that there
is no healthier nor more loyal blood
in human arteries or that intiltrates
our American life. than the blood
pulsing in the heart of those who
either acknowledge Germany as their
fatherland or the German people as
their progenitors. These citizens of
ours, for the most part, have frankly
favored Germany against her enemies
in the field. Would any of you have
done otherwise if standing in their
shoes? 1t was an American who
pledged himself to his country right
or wrong, and we have often applaud
ed his creed as voicing our very own.
A man may throw off his allegiance
to a government, but he cannot throw
off his cOnsanguinity to a country Or
it's people. Personally, appreciate
the sentiment that would link to the
home of ones children the home of
ones childhood, i only by hyphen;
for that hyphen-what is it but the
umbilical connection with mother
earth? And we do know that there
come events nd crises in events when
every hyphen, copula, Vinculum. and
all the Greek and Latin stuffing Of
our language is knocked out of it, and
there stands forth the solid concrete
fact of citizenship! Think of that
heroic deed in Santiago harbor. Who
were the brave fellows who foated
into that maelstrom of shot and shell
just to put cork in bottle? An
lrishman or two; German or two;
Frenchman or two, and Clausen,
the stowaway-Clausen, a Swede, if
ever there was Swede-Clausen, for
whom neither Spanish guns nor Am.
erican yardarms had terros to keep
him out of the melee. Save Hobson
himself, these men were foreigners
perhaps, but no greater Americanism
hath any man than this, that he is
willing to lay down his life for the
American republic.
God forbid that it should ever be
the tragic fate of Gernan-Americans
