Chasing Columbus with George III
and Kaiser Wilhelm as the three
greatest blunderers of the modern
era IN his Columbus Day address be-
fore the student body of the Fort
Hays Kansas Normal School, Presi-
dent w A. Lewis, said that the re-
suits OF those blunders in a legacy of
good were and would be immeasur-
able in the development of civiliza-
ton.
Columbus expected to find the
East Indies to bring back the riches
Of the Orient to Europe which need
ed not wealth but work. He discov-
cred instead a barren hemisphere.
The new world gave the impetus
which made science, business reli-
glon, and men themselves possible.
George III expected to show the
world that he could tax people with
out their consent and his blunder
gave the world the democracy of the
western world
Kaiser Wilhelm expected to make
the world unsafe for that very demo-
cracy. These three plumbers are
of about equal Importance as blum
ders but the good which will result
from the third will be the greatest
because it has the others to build
upon.
Columbus Numbered as n Euro
pean, but triumphed as an American.
Europe disowned him, and he died a
beggar and an outcast He was the
nrst American. He typifes the Amer
leans today who will die for an ideal,
but like Columbus in dying for it
VIII peculiar SIeduIaSCneSS VIII Dy
paying the price of Impractical, :"
visionary" men buy the pearl of
great price, permanent peace.
The machine we call civilization
will turn out men and women whose
services to humanity after the war
cannot be prophesied now The peo-
pie OF today have no idea of the grist
OF the mill. Our work TODAY is to
bring to 1t the grain. Our children
Will enjoy the full inheritance of Kai-
ser Wilhelm's blunder as we enjoy
