ing In Washington. land by every power
of my being shall do my part.
From the time of Puritan days to the
opening of this great territory from the
Atlantic to the Pacifc-from the time Of
the first simple. sporadic settlement here
women have rendered their share Of
patriotic service in building up their
country. They have made sacrifices as
great, they have suffered as many hard
ships as men in building up this coun-
try, and they will now do their part to
preserve what they have helped to build.
There is a patriotism higher than the
patriotism which accounts the cost of
war in material expenditure. There is a
patriotism unlike the ideals of the
Asiatics. who declare that the courage
of man rests on his Indifference to life
and death. Indifference to life and death
is no evidence of courage, but the evil
dence of courage rests in the men and
women who assume that there are in
terests more than life, who assume
there are things worth living for far
more important than ones life. and that
life were better not life. better that 1t
should be taken. than that these things
should be forgotten"
