myself than to cross-examine an-
 other. May I make bold to insert in
 the Record some elements of the
 creed which I have adopted in this period of retrospection and introspec- l tion? It does not embrace what 1 know but holds part of what I be- lieve.
 Vice Presidents Creed. II have faith that this government of ours was divinely ordained to dis. close whether men are by nature fit- ted or can, by education. be made fit for self-government; to teach Jew and Greek, bondman and free. alike, the essential equality of all men be- fore the law and to be tender and true to humanity everywhere, and under all circumstances; to reveal that service is the highest reward of life. I cannot believe otherwise when I read the words and recall the sacri- fees of the fathers. If ours is not the golden rule of government, then Washington wrought, and Lincoln died, in vain.
 ''I believe that the world. now ad- vancing and now retreating, Is never theless moving forward to far-off divine event wherein the tongues Of Babel will again be blended in the language of a common brotherhood; and believe that I can reach the highest ideal of my tradition and my lineage as an American,-as a man, as a citizen and as a public official when I judge my fellow men without malice and with charity, when l worry more about my own motives and conduct and less about the mo tives and conduct of others. Ine time I am liable to be wholly wrong is when I know that l am absolutely right, Tn an individualistic repuphc. I am the unit of patriotism and II l keep myself keyed in unison Witn the music of the union, my fellow men will catch the note and fall into time and step.
 Finest Form of Government.
 "I believe there is no finer form of government than the one under which we live and that I ought to be willing to live or to die. as God decrees,. that it may not perish from off the earth through treachery within or through assault from without; and I believe that though my first right is to be. a partisan, that my first duty, when the only principles on which free government can rest are being strained, is to be- a patriot and to follow in a wilderness of words, that clear call which bids me guard and defend the ark of our national con- venant.'
