full student at the Military Academy;
an alert young officer. discharging all
of his duties with entire satisfaction
to his superiors; advanced from one
important post to another as the re-

many years to the old Stamping

American soldier of the period, I'M
spoiled by success, and with warm
place in his heart still for those he
knew and mingled with in his early

Opportunity, as we see, all along
the line, and character and capacity

beginning was no bar to advance

spirit to go forward. One success, we'll

peak was reached.
1t is our boast that 'the republic
is opportunity And so it is. So it
has shown itself to be from the out
set, in numberless instances In all
walks of our national life, civil and
military, opportunity presents itself,
and, when properly seized, leads on
to great comfort and usefulness.
And yet we are told by certain
foreignborn men and women who
have come into the country solely for
purposes of agitation and with no
real knowledge of what the country
represents, and by half baked, lah-
dedah parlOr bolshevists of native
birth, that our form of government is
Il failure and should be scrapped :;
that it is quite out of date; that moth

under it, and that unless it is changed

All experience teaches the contrary.

have known it has more than JUS

preservers, and was never worthier

sion was never of greater value and
