ing into every nook and corner of
the United States. 1t means, if you
please, old fashioned Americanism
of the brand that our forefathers
knew. And when that spirit per
vades the entire nation, which it
must surely do, we shall move for
ward more rapidly and efficiently to
the accomplishment of our nations
great task, which is the winning of
the war.
To make mistakes is human fail
ing. In this war we have all made
mistakes. The business man has made
mistakes and is open to criticism.
The Worker, skilled and unskilled,
has made mistakes and is open to
criticism. The farmer has made mis-
takes and is open to criticism. But
we are learning all the time and our
mistakes will prove valuable expert
ence for future improvement.
Mr.. Chairman, the great body of
workers are loyal; the great body of
farmers are loyal and the great body
of business men are loyal. We are
all made of the same clay and we all
have common purpose and COM
mon cause. Once thoroughly imbued
with the whole truth and our country
will stand firm and solid as the Rock
of Gibraltar.
For the individual who deliberately
exploits his fellows; for the agitator
woh makes a profession of stirring
industrial strife in times like these
for the political disturber who would
create suspicion of this war at a
period when every energy should be
bent to the major task of winning the
struggle, have the utmost scorn and
contempt.
We are passing through an age
of sociological changes and some of
our institutions most chunge to meet
changing conditions. There is not
room on the American continent for
Americanism and Bolshivikism, how
ever. l may be old fashioned, but
hold that the fundamental principles
upon which our forefothers founded
this republic, stand good today. Not
in this generation, at least, will we
surrender individual rights and pro-
perty rights and see established in
their stead unstable and visionary
schemes. The plight of poor Russia
today stands as a monument to the
failure of impractical dreamers.
Do we need an inspiration? If
our zeal must be inspired we have
but to turn to the glorious republic
of France, which is not as large as
Montana in area, but which is star

Let us turn back history's page to
The Marietta journal and courier., 1918-04-19

the bleak winter of ITO, when the
little Continental army was starv-
ing at Valley Forge, George Wash
ington addressed letter to Lafay-
cite, the liberty loving French states
man. The message told simply that
the American army was in dire straits
without food, guns or clothing and
that the fight for freedom was lost
unless France could help. Did France
hesitate? Let us see: In a remark
ably short time France had sent us
three of her best battleship, 5000
of her picked troops and subscribed
$50, 100000 worth of American
bonds which would not have been
worth the paper they were written on
if we lost the revolutionary war.
One hundred and thirty-eight years
passed and that same little French
republic, which had fought with us
in the dark days of the revolution
that America might be perpetuated
for you and for me, found herself
sorely pressed. The hosts of the
Huns were hurting themselves at her
throat And at Verdun the sons of
France again showed the valor of
which heroes are made. In the
greatest exhibition of gallantry the
world has ever known France stood
the shock Outnumbered in men and
guns, she hurled back the rolling
hordes of scientific barbarians. Day
after day and week after week she
stood like a rock. In holding Verdun
they were battling not only for
France, but for world freedom and
civilization. They were battling for
America, for us all, yet for time
it seemed that in our commercial
greed and SNUG complacency, we had
forgotte nthe everlasting obligation
we owed to France. We hesitated,

A Plea For Old Fashioned Americanism

MIR. Chairman, the great need of
America today is national unity-a
closer cooperation among all classes
of citizens for the winning of the
war-a return to some of the patrio-
tic principles that inspired our fore
fathers. In short the nations great
est need is spirit of old fashioned
Americanism. s. -
In the past ninety days, Mr.. Chair
man, have travelled upwards of
10000 miles, making observations.
Ny journeys have taken me to the
shipyards of the Pacific coast, both
at Seattle and San Francisco. In
those three months have also visited
the Atlantic seaboard, have gone into
he shipyards there and the munitions
factories. have visited the work
ers in the logging camps and the
mining camps, in the north and in the
south. l have driven through the
warm sections of the middle west
and the Ricky Mountain region and
discussed with farmers questions
closely relating to their life. The
nations capital lay in the path of my
journeys and there l noted the de-
iberations of our lawmakers.
And now, Mr.. Chairman, and fell
low o;+i1opc T on, uoioO +o ,,,olyo n
statement-a declaration-as a re-
suit Of my observations. 1t may star
tie you but it is none the less true.
This great war which we are wag-
ing for the rights of humanity and
the preservation of civilization is far
from won. In fact it has reached a
most critical stage. And the only
way we are going to be able to de-
feat the military hosts of Germany
with their studied cruelty and scien-
tific barbarity is for all Americans,
regardless of class, occupation or
distinction, to forget internal differ
ences and to bend every energy in
support of the boys at the front in
France.
l say this, Sir, at the risk of being
classed pessimist. l say it deliber-
ately and after a broad survey of
the whole field of endeavor. Opti-
mism is fine when backed by con-
certed action and constructive deeds.
AS a nation we are inclined to be
overly optimistic. We must stop
taking things for granted. We must
drop the idea that this is somebody
else's war and our habit of shifting
the work to somebody else. We must
know the truth and we will then real
ize this is not war for Wall street
The Marietta journal and courier., 1918-04-19

that it is not war for the farmer !;
that it is not war for the business
man, that it is a war by and for the
American people and that every citi-
zen of this country must add his or
her mite to the stupendous task of
defeating the common enemy.
If there are any present here to-
day who believe victory is already
cinched, here are some facts which
may change your ideas.
The progress with which this war
is won or lost devolves itself to a
question of ships All the wheat the
United States is able to produce; all
the guns our munition factories can
make, and all the men in America
cannot win this war if mobilized only
on this side of the Atlantic ocean. To
win this war we must get our men
and our munitions and our food to
France. it takes ships. Now this
brings us to the vital point and that
point is ships. Is our shop construc-
tion program beating Germany's de-
struction program? Let US see. Cold
statistics show that during the past
twelve months the German subma-
rines have sunk two ship for every
ship the combined Allies could build.
America has undertaken to overcome
this markin against us by pledging
herself to build, during this year of
1918, 100000 dead weight tons of
ships. Military experts tell us this
program is necessary if the war is to
be won. And yet we know that at
the rate we have been going since
January first we will hardly build
100000 tons.
Now, what's the answer? We've
got to speed up! We've go to increase
efficiency.
Without stopping to consider the
causes for the delay in the ship build
ing program, the fact remains the
administration has been badly handi-
capped and seriously embarrassed by
the delay. Under these distressing
circumstances one would think that
public sentiment would be more
clearly crystalized.
All, there's the solution There's
the source! There's the starting
point and the finish! There's the
Alpha and Omega of this entire war
situation in America! Public senti-
ment! Public sentiment is neces-
sary for the successful conclusion of
any great undertaking and, Sir, un-
qualified do 1 declare that the great
public is not yet solidly aroused to
the united support of our government
in its prosecution of this-the great
est war in the worlds history. Pub
lie sentiment in this situation means
an intensive spirit of loyalty reach
The Marietta journal and courier., 1918-04-19

but thank God, America, our nation
al conscience, was at last awakened
and today we stand shoulder to shoul-
der with that little nation who help
ed us win our freedom one hundred
and thirty eight years ago and who,
at Verdun, sacrificed the lives of
100000 of the picked men of her
republic that human rights might be
preserved.
There is legend in Scotland which
tells that after the death of the gal
liant Robert Bruce, the Scottish ar
my lost courage. Then they dug up
the heart of the head hero, enshrin-
ed it in a silver case and with the
spirit of Bruce reawakened they went
forward to victory as of old.
At Verdun the spirit that nerved
the French soldiers was expressed in
the little watchword, "They shall not
pass" and so it was the Huns did
not pass. In Scotland the spirit that
revived the soldiers was expressed
in the little watchword, LEAD on,
lead on, o heart of Bruce" and this
spirit did lead Scotland on to vic
tory.
| And so, Mr.. Chairman and fellow
citizens, lie us revive the spirit of our
/ forefathers. Let the fundamental
principals they established be our
guide. And emulating their princi-
Piles let us revive Americanism with
the watchword, Lead on, o heart of
George Washington, lead on, 0 soul
of Lafayette; lead on o spirit of the
Immortal Lincoln, and with such in-
spiration we shall not wander from
the path of constructive progress,
which has made the Star Spangled
Banner the emblem of liberty and the
beacon light for Freedom throughout
the world.

..Wbo saves his country saves all
things,
"Himself is saved,
"And all things saved do bless him.
"Who lets his country die let's all
things die,
sDies himself ignobly,
"And all things dying curse himl"
Those words, uttered by Benjamin
Hill southern statesman of for
NOR generation, were good one hun
dred wears ago, and they are equally
true today
Whenever and whatever there is
an assemblage of people held in our
country during this war the dominat-
ING spirit should be Americanism.
If is well to keep our minds on the
major problem, which. is the crisis
confronting the nation, and our
hearts mellow with national loyalty,
M matter whatever else we may be
called upon to consider or discuss.
In the hurly-burly of the hour, in
the strenuous task devolving upon
our president in conducting the war,
task fraught with dangers OF pit
falls. barriers and human mistakes; /;
in the kaleidoscope changes now TAX
ing place with amazing rapidity on
the checker board of nations, let us
not forget these enduring sentiments
as expressed by the poet, Sir Walter
Scott:
"Breathes there the man with soul
so dead
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own-my native land,'
Whose heart has ne'er within him
burned
When home his footsteps he hath
turned
From wandering in foreign land !;
If such there be, go mark him
well,
For him no minstrels' raptures swell
High tho his title, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish could
claim,
Despite his title, power and pelf
The wretch concentrated all in self.
Living shall forfeit fair renown,
And doubly dying shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he
sprung,
Unwept, unhonored and unsung."
