GREATEST THING IN THE
WORLD.

Okmulgee Democrat: You've got
something that's all your own-your
personality. You can't give it away,
nor can YOU exchange it for an
others. You influence others
through thi, peculiar power OF
yours, but it always remains your
own. Indeed, in the very exercise
of this power YOU strengthen and
more firmly fix it. SO true has this
been in the lives Of men, that the
mere mentioninq Of the names Of
well-known individuals suggests
certain peculiar characteristics.
Caesar, Napoleon, Gladstone, Lin
coin, Grant, remind MS not so much
OF what they did as OF what they
were.
Therefore, what man is, is Of
more Importance than what he has
accomplished. 1t is this by which
he will be Longest remembered. And
this applies not only to the great
men OF the world, but to those who
walk in the humber places of life.
Conduct is important, but character
is more important. For what man
Is will determine what he will do.
We cannot get away from this
great fact-that every man stands
absolutely alone, just as though he
were the only man in the world.
While we may sometimes think zen
massc,' and work in multitudes, and
pray by regiments, and sing in bat
talions, and trade by corporations,

quite amused at some Huns we took
prisoners. Down the lines they
came, four of them, big Prussians,
and, strutting along beside them,
grinning from ear to ear, carrying
his rifle, was a little Canuck about
the size OF a flea, and he was help

square-toed boot

Unless one has been in it he cannot
imagine the magnitude OF it all.

REVISING THE MONROE
DOCTRINE.

Speaking at Los Angeles, DR.,
Alexandra Alyarcs, a distinguished
Latin-Amercan, secretary general
Of the Institute OF International
Law and permanent member OF the
court OF arbitration at The Hague,
made a significant statement re
Sardlng our Monroe Doctrine.
Twenty-one republics of the
western hemisphere, ne SAYS. are
ready to subscribe to a new Monroe
Doctrine. embracing the cardinal
principles already established dur
ing century oi endorsements and
adding a few tcnets which will give

These new additions are based
on principles enunciated by Pre,i-
dent Wilson in his war message and

AMERICANS.

Speaking OF the controversy that
Is still raging over the right of our
people to call themselves "Ameri-
cans" a correspondent scusibly re-
marks:
There is absolutely nothing to
prevent Latin-Americans from call
ing themselves Americans. But as
long as they persist in calling them
selves Cubans, Brazilians, Mexicans,
etc, and insist on being known gen
orally as such, it certainly isn't up
to the people OF the United States
to worry about the matter
In the literature OF foreign ma
tions, he adds, the Star-Spangled
Banner invariably denotes the
"American' flag. In our dictionar-
les and in those OF other English
speaking countries, the word Amer
icanism is defined as a popularity
OF the national language OF the
United States, not of the language
OF Canada, Argentina or Peruh The
same word appears with the same
meaning, in other languages. as
"Amercanismo' in Spanish diction-
aries, "Americauisme" i'm French
dictionaries and "Amerikanismus' W
in German dictionaries.

PHILOSOPHIC TREASURES.

Speaking to the East Prussians
concerning German successes
against Russia, the kaiser said:
I'VE owe our victory largely to
the moral and spiritual treasures
which the great philosopher OF Ko-
enigsberg bestowed upon our peo-
pie
The great philosopher OF Koenigs-
berg was Emmanuel Kant And
what are the moral and spiritual
treasures" which he bestowed upon
the German people;
Kant advocated a covenant OF
peace to be established by an in
ternational federation OF free states,
where sovereignty should be limit
Ell by one restriction-none should
be allowed to make war on any 9TH
er. lie longcd for the moment when
powerful and enlightened peo-
pie should take the initiative in
organizing such a ieedration. He
contemplated precisely such world
family of states, bound together by
international law, as the allies arc
now fighting for and Germany is
doing all in her power 10 prevent.
Kant taught that the best form
of government for every nation was
that OF a republic, because The
republican constitution, apart from
the soundness OF its origin, since it
arose from the pure source OF the
concept OF right, has also the pros
pect Of attaining the desired result,
namely, perpetual peace That is,
Kant took precisely the same posi-
tion President Wilson has taken,
that self-ruling people will not
tolerate militarism and make unjust
war upon its neighbors, and that
democracy is therefore the surest
guarantee OF peace

Nonpartisan League is preparing

nominate La Toilette for the presi-

that swept North Dakota like a
whirlwind in 1915 and has been ex-
tending its activities into many
othe states. 1t has denounced the
war as unjust; it has sncered at
patriotism; it has been against the
draft and Liberty bonds and proven
itself utterly disloyal. 1t was be-

The Flood BILL before congress,
the object OF which is to deprive
some 250O0O aliens who have not
perfected their citizenship OF the
privilege OF voting, is the result of
fear expressed by Republicans and
Democratic leaders that disloyal
enemy aliens having this one-year
election privilege may control the
elections in congressional districts
which are close politically and in
which foreign-born citizens predom-
mate. There are ten states in which
at the congressional election next
fall alien enemies will participate in
the election of members of CON
gress. In some OF these states the
alien enemy vote is so large that
it may even be decisive in the choice
OF candidates.
