THE MEANING OF PATRIOTISM

Editorial From The Lincolnian.)
Patriotism, in order and impor-
lance, ranks next to the virtues that
art assumed in domestic life. II is
something that is born in a man just
the same as his soul. In the time of
peace and abundance the love of the
citizens for their country may be
somewhat forgotten and it takes a
great crisis to arouse them from their
slumber to a sense of their patriotic
duty. The achievements of patriotism
have been portrayed by historians,
celebrated by poets and orators, and
concentrated by painters and
sculptors.
The story of the three hundred
Spartans sacrificing their lives to the
glory of their country and of Wash
ington, presenting homself as the
mark of a powerful nations venge-
ance to protect the feeble colonies
and then laying aside power, and re-
firing to private life will be repeated
to the young by parents and teachers
to the latest generations.
Patriotic devotion does not have to
he due to a certain extent 70 the az
fractions of the land or country. But
it is derived from a more generous
enthusiasm and self-sacrifice by the
superior advantages and glory of a
country. II the Russian struggling
beneath the heel of oppression; or
the Turk, a tool of lust and capric-
ious power; or the Chinaman, hidden
in his seclusion from the world,
where ignorant hordes are born and
die in poverty and stupidity, can
shout and fight for their country.
What ought not the American youth
feel, and do, and dare and suffer for
their country? What is England's
glory as queen of the seas; France
with her vine clad hills and classic
groves; what are they compared with
our own great land of prairie and
sloping hills, of broad rivers and roll
ing lakes, of wide valleys, of vast
fields of corn and wheat and cotton,
Of cane and grass and grazing herds,
Of towns and cities and states, of
