why should we boast who find each year
increasing number of men called to the cities
by the absence of comfort and comparionshp on
the farm?
why should we boast when men cry out
against all honest savings because cunning has
had so much to do with the creation of capital?"
After a pause to let his questions sink home,
Mr. Lane continued:
These are our enemies, the things which
dwarf and kill and brutalze and retard and
breed misery.
Can we not SO organize as to get milk for
babes and schools for the illiterate?
Can not fight ignorance, injustice and dis
ease as well as we fought men, and as pur-
posefully?
Can not join in great team to make
America serve Americans and serve the world
as it should?
Problems? There always will be those. The
war has shocked the world, and it will

And in conclusion: Humble must stand

long trail over which man has come. But this
is forward-looking time. There is use in
turning our eyes back, and the duty that is
upon US is to make this America straight and

vances is dead. The nation, the people. who
have to that point where they are in
capable of change and of making progress are
no longer of to the world. There is no
occasion, no matter what social disease may
sweep across Europe-there is reason for
losing heart, because this nation is built
upon hope, and if things are not right they
be changed.
1T may be that you and find fault with
the methods that have been applied throughout
the last century in the development of this
country. And indeed, am: not satisfied with
the justice of commercial system. No man
who is thoughtful. no man who is sympathetic,
who goes down into the slumS CT any
city can be satisfied 1t does not do to say to
to you that this is the inevitable result
of supply and demand of intense competition,
of the free play of the individual. There is
something in US, after all, superior to the cold
line of reasoning, and that is the warm flame
of passion. The thing that love fell
low man, and for that man we will fight; and
will fight for him not merely upon the fields
of France, but we will fight for him across this
broad continent until he has opportunity to be
himself"
Don't jump to the conclusion. now. that the
Secretary of the Interior is radical among
radicals; that he has leaning toward bolshev-
ism or any of the cults that want to make
the world over in a day. That wasn't what he
meant at all. For he continued:
But must for one thing-that those
things that ours, that have come down to
US through the centuries the result of mans
experience-those things that are traditional,
upon which civilization rests; those things
that have given prompting to man to make him
climb as he has climbed-must not be discarded
There is need for revolution in democracy
there is every opportunity for evolution"

That Constitution which debars him from the
most exalted office Of the republic is thing for
which Mr.. Lane confesses the deepest reverence;
a reverence, he says, not unmixed with awe.
Under that Constitution, he holds, it is possible
for the American people to shape their destinies
they will.
Now, what is the reason for the complaints
and criticisms that made?" he asked. "If

the interviewer asked, expecting u

throwers and others of that ilk.
Evidently the Secretary read the
thought back of the question.

an anarchistic philosophy OF those
better bred and shrewder leaders
who promote them in their hatred
of order These dangerous, impa-
tient men are but the expression of
a passing hour of passion. The
greater enemies for which we must
search are the destroyers of hap
piness-the germ of disease that
turks in the soil and the water pool;
the germ of disease that turks in
all ignorance and all injustice and
brutality and all things ugly or
rotten.
1--WE of America are proud and
glad. Surely there has come to us
the richest promise that has been
given to the sons of men. And
ours the glad responsibility. 1t is
not to be met. however-this world
will not let us meet it-with cries
and shouts and pieces of paper, like
Chinese exercising evil spirits. 1t
is not to be met with the chantings
of the charms of democracy nor
with boasting of great things done.
1t can be met only by doing the
things that remain to be done to
make America the better land it
ought to be-"

They were wise men who formu-
lated the American Constitution.
They were reducing to written
charter the principles evolved
through a thousand years of Anglo
Saxon struggle upward, and they
knew that liberty must have it's
checks and safeguards. Their work
was good. so good that Gladstone,
among the wisest of English
statesmen, exclaimed in admiration
that it was the greatest work ever
struck from the hand of man at
;iven time.
No one has ever challenged that
section 5, article II, was not on a
parallel in wisdom with other pro-
visions of the Constitution. Yet,

He is not, therefore. natural

nor was he, of course, a citizen at

country in childhood, he is an

there is any man who is more of
what the late James ]. Hill de-
scribed as "a bull on the U. S. A.
that man has not yet permitted a
discovery of his attributes.
Secretary Lane breaches the gos-
pei of Americanism day in and day
out, and it is gospel of optimism
of faith and cheer. America is
good; let's make it BETTER" might
be the motto emblazoned on his
coat of arms-if he has such a
thing among his family possessions.
Such being the facts, it was only
to be expected that he would be a
willing contributor to this series of
interviews on How to Make Amer

never will be perfect. I want the
