 It is proper now to recall the words of Roosevelt on the subject of Americanism which dear to his heart ~-'
 Love of country he said "Ts elemental vir- tua- like love of home like honesty and courage" From American Ideals" we quote
 We shall never be successful over the dangers that confront us; shall achieve true great ness, reach the lofty ideal which the founders and preservers of mighty federal republic have set before us unless Americans in heart and soul in spirit and purpose keenly alive the respon- sibflity implied in the very name of American and proud beyond measure of the glorious privilege of bearing it"
 In the New Nationalism" Roosevelt said:
 T want Uncle Sam to be peaceful; I want Uncle Sam to show scrupulous regard for the, rights of others; but want to Uncle Sam owe his safety to two facts; in the first place that he will do noth- ing but good to men; and, in the second place. that he will submit to wrong from no man."
 Again in New Nationalism" Roosevelt said
 Tn my judgment man is a good American who is not of course, American firstan American be- fore he is a member of any section of the American people such a party a class I hold that the only real service which party man can render his party is to make that party more responsive to the needs of the American people"
