MAJORITY JUST REACHED

America may be said to have just reached her majority as world power It was almost exactly 21 years ago that the results of the war with Spain put us unexpectedly in possession of rich islands on the other side of the world, and brought us into association with other governments in the control of the West Indies. It was regarded as a sinister and ominous thing by the statesmen of more than one European chancellory that we should have extended our power beyond the confines of our continental dominions They were accustomed to think of new Eeighbors as a new menace; of rivals as watchful enemies. There were persons amongst us at home who looked with deep disapproval and avowed anxiety on such extensions of our national authority over distant islands and over peoples whom they feared we might exploit, not serve, and assist. But we have not ex- plotted them. We have been their friends and have sought to serve them. And our dominion has been a menace to no other nation. We redeemed our honor to the utmost in our dealings with Cuba. She is weak, but absolutely free, and it is her trust in us that makes her free Weak people everywhere stand ready to give us any authority among them that will assure them a like friendly oversight and direction. They know that there is no 5rOuHu LOT lear III recelVlng us as their mentors and guides. Our isolation was ended 20 years ago, and now fear of us is ended also, our counsel and associa- tion sought after and desired There can be no question of our ceasing to be world power. The only question is wheth- CT we can refuse the moral leadership that is offered us; whether we shall ac- cept or reject the confidence of the world.
 "Tvha uy4P of now sitting in Paris seem to me to have answered that question. Our participation in the war established our position among the nations and nothing but our own mistaken action can alter it. It was not an accident or a matter of sudden choice that we are no longer isolated and de- voted to a policy which has only our own interest and advantage for it's object It was our duty to go in. if we were in- deed the champions of liberty and of right. We were ready to answer the call for duty in a way so spirited, so utterly without thought of what we spent of blood or treasure, so effective, so worthy of the admiration of true men every where. so wrought out of the stuff of that all was heroic that the whole world saw at last in the flesh, in noble action, great ideal asserted and vindicated by a nation they had deemed material and now found to be composed of the spir- itual forces that must free men of every nation from every worthy bondage. It is thus that a new nole and new re- sponsibility have come to this great na- ton that we honor, and which we would all wish to lift to yet higher levels of service and achievement.
 "The stage is set, the destiny disclosed We can only go forward with lifted eyes and freshened spirit to follow the vision It was of this that we dreamed at our birth. America shall in truth show the way. The light streams upon the rath ahead and nowhere else.''

at Conrad Kress's barber shop, Pleas
ant Plains, adopted resolutions for
the extension of the thirtieth election
