BY HORACE TRAUBEL

it out of mischief. It's aim is
true. It's power is sufficient.
It's resolution is irrevocably firm.
We are warned to avoid habits.
Don't avoid them. Hunt them
up. Don't be afraid of them.
Honor, trust, follow them. Get
them right. Then let them alone.
INTERNATIONALISM means
to consider all, instead of some
or few; all people; all coun-
tries; all properties; all ideals.
1t don't call the success of one
success until all participate in
that success. 1t don't call fail
ure if it's a defat of the weak
by the strong. 1t always de-
mands the rounded result; not
stopping with what concerns an
item in the figures, but going
on forever to the total.
The international habit has in
cluded but got past thinking and
feeling. When something's up
it Immediately divines what's up.
Not its settled effects; no. It's
tendencies. Emotion drifts. Habit
steers straight course.
The international habit must
become almost automatic; so
positively a mans bent and di-
rection that he couldn't change it
If he wanted to. A man may
be in the habit of being so big
that trying to be little would de-
stroy him.

ways been intellectually a Demo-
crat, but God knows it's not easy
to accommodate ones life to de-
mocracy." Or to International

her democracy into habit could
she confirm herself in its man
dates.

tiers and the most vitalizing of
slaves. Served by you it's a
curse. Serving you it's bless

But do any of us get our in
ternational right?
We have the international
mind; and heart and intellect:
and brain. And we have inter
national arts; and sciences; and
sociologics And we have inter
national state policies; and trades
and professions; and customs and
traditions; and international every
things and nothings.
But so far we haven't allowed
for the international habit. That's
the most inclusive International
ism of all.
When it becomes a habit in
any weather. 1t goes up and
down the world with you as
matter of course.
A mans never really decent
till he's got decency as a habit:
or broad; or high. Till then his
dccency's a peril. After that it's
a foundation.

my internationalism was pro-
duct of my imagination. It's
also a product of my knowledge.
It's also fixed in my habit.
It's customary? Certainly. Do
| never debate it? No.
It's just habit; bad if you
don't like it. good if You do. I've
got in the way of it. My eyes
instantly see the international
situation. Ny ears instantly hear
the international voice. My heart
instantly responds to the interna-
tional love. My. lips instantly
chant the international psalm. 1t
don't come hard. 1t comes easy
It requires no strain. It's as
normal as for water to go down
hill. Only it must be a habit
1t must happen unsummoned. 1t
must operate unsolicited.
THE INTERNATIONAL MIND
is confused by other observations.
The international heart is upset
by othew sympathies. The inter-
national voice. is lost in the
clanor of other out-cries. But
the international habit can't be
argued or threatened away.
You get after a while so you
can't avoid thinking, feeling, see
ing, talking internationally. You
write so; and paint so; and sing
so; and make a pair of shoes so;
and read so; and even walk
along the pavements SO. There's
nothing you don't do so. And
now it's a habit. It's ceased to
be an imported inspiration. It's
an inner circumstance. Your hori-
zon now encircles all life. Not

from such marriage is due to child,

produces roll OF money, and states
that he won this by his fore-knowl-

then suggests that his friend test his
