This was one of the many war

to solve, but within the time limit

feat was accomplished but among

" He was, when all is said and sung,

A true AMERICANA"
Among the very last words PEN
ned by the late Colonel Roosevelt
are those in his now famous in
PRODUCTION to "One Hundred Per
Cent American Doran), a book of
patriotic speeches delivered before
the Republican Club of New York,
of which he was member. In
these lines one can almost see the
seasoned face, the raised fist ac-
centuating the remark, the typical
American of his generation speaking
for all of us:
We care nothing where a man
was born; we care nothing as to
the land from which his parents
came; we stand for absolute free
dom of religious belief, but we in
sist upon one flag, one language, one
undivided loyalty to this nation and
to the ideals of this nation. We
are a new nation, differing from all
other nations, friendly towards them
all in so far as they will let us be
friendly, desirous of helping them,
but resolutely bent upon maintain
ing our separate, self-respecting
self-reliant national existence. We

ism. We insist that all our people
must be Americans and only Amer

Our StupendouS HHterdcy
IFrom the Boston Herald ]

From the Boston Herald.I
If one may, judge rightly from the
statistics supplied by the war de-
partment as the result of its expe-
rience with the selective service law,
the amount of illiteracy in the
United States is far beyond all our
previous reckonings. The census of
1910 indicated fewer than 100000
illiterate adults, but the tests ap-
piled to men in the different canton
ments seem to show that this figure
is away below the mark. The war
departments records prove that
nearly one-fourth of all the drafted
men were unable to read and under
stand newspapers or to write letters
home.
Even more significant as a COM
mentary upon the existing situation
are the results of the intelligence
tests given to more than 100000
of these men under the auspices of
the surgeon-generars department.
Two such tests were prepared, one
of them consisting of simple ques-
tons set down en- paper, the other
an even more elementary examina-
ton based upon oral instructions.
The first was used in the case of all
men who could read ordinary Eng
lish; the second was for those who
could not. Nearly 10000 men were
found to be in this second category.
The lowest percentage of illiterates
was found at Camp Lewis on the
Pacific coast, the highest percent
ages were in some of the southern
cantonments. At Camp Devens the
proportion was about % per cent, or
little more than one man in five.
In view of the enormous sums
which we spend upon elementary
education, in view also of our pro-
vision for night schools and contin-
uation classes, our social settlem ent
work and our laws against putting
children to work until they have had
educational opportunities, these fig
ures are amazing. 1t is not the alien
born population. nor yet the colored
element in the South, that has fur
nished the backbone of this Hitter
acy. Even among drafted men of
native American stock the propor-
ton was far higher than it ought
to have been. Surely these statistics
deserve the careful attention of all
who are interested in the problem
of popular education. They indicate
that we are carrying in the crucible
of our citizenship a huge mass that
has not yet been melted.

PROPER PUNISHMENT

Four hours from a highway rob-
berry to sentence of 10 years in the
penitentiary shows that the police
and courts can work with extreme
celebrity when all the conditions are
favorable. The length of the SEN
tences may have some deterrent in
fluence on persons tempted to be
thugs. but the influence of the celer-
ity of the penalty will be very much
greater. Every criminal in the city
will know that one of his pestilential
tribe was run down Immediately
after his crime and that the laws
delays were conspicuous by their ab-
sence. The robber was not at large
for three months and then in jail,
or possibly on bail. couple of years
awaiting trial. All sorts of things
may happen in such a long interval,
and even if the criminal goes to the
penitentiary finally the fact does not
make much impression on the minds
of persons tempted to crime. But
the possibility of being in the peni-
tentiary, with a sentence of 10 years
four hours after the commission of a
crime, will make almost any crook
a little scary about yielding to temp
tation.-The Philadelphia Record.

Roosevelt an American

X ABRIEL H. Meyer, former
(T President of the Patriotic
Order of Sons of America in
Pennsylvania has written an appre-
citation of the late Colonel Roose-
Welt for Camp News" the organ
of the fraternity. Mr.. Meyer, who
is prominently identified with the
Auditor Generals Department and
is well known in fraternal circles
pays high tribute to the qualities of
leadership which made Roosevelt
great and to his thorough American
ism. Among other things Mr.. Meyer
says:
Mature makes its return for
everything it receives. The earth
receives the grain and returns the
waving harvest; the flowers receive
the dew and the rain and return
the fragrance; the ocean receives
the rivers and returns the clouds;
the clouds in turn become the great
water carriers of the world. Roose-
welt announced the great truth that
Americans should make their re-
turn to the founders and preserves
of our mighty Federal Republic
for all that they have received; for
the whole fabric of what we call
modern civilization is the result of
yesterdays tolls, yesterdays hero
isms and yesterdays sacrifices.

obtain among men with respect to
Theodore Roosevelt. when 1 speak of
his honesty. sincerity, bravery and
patriotism, the characteristics which
