AMERIcANIsM.
(Erie. Pa. .Dispatch)


Americanism will he the big issue
of the coming campaign, as it should
be.
Not selfish, exclusive American
ism, but a broad sympathetic, human
Americanism that comprehends the
needs Of the world and rises to the
opportunity to extend a helping hand.
But while this should be done on
the one hand, our liberties and our
independence should be maintained
inviolate on the other hand.
We can help the world better from
"a vantage point Of independence and
free from entangling alliances with
other nations than in any other way.
We do not want to adopt the Brit
ish policy, or the French policy, or
the Italian policy, or the Russian pol
icy, or ally ourselves too closely with
any of these nations.
We have great destiny before us
that is pre-eminently and peculiarly
our own, and separate and apart from
the other great nations of the world.
The business. social and political
world no longer centers in Europe.
Our own opportunity to set standards
for the world and grasp leadership is
at hand, but If we do so, it must be
done from an Independent vantage
point, and not through any compro-
missing, logrolling, shilly- shally lea
que of nations, involving such sur
renders of principle and decent moral
rectitude as the Shangtung steal.
We are big enough to command the
respect and leadership of the world,
If we go about it rightly, and the
right way is the American way.
European ideals are not our ideals.
We would be tied down in "a league
of nations, especially the kind accept
ed by Mr.. Wilson, which,. in the nature
of things, would be dominated and
controlled by European ideals and
policies.
We could hardly be situated in a
more enviable position concerning our
relation to the rest of the world than
we now are. Let us maintain this re-
lation instead of surrendering our
freedom and binding ourselves up in
a league that will surely lose US much
in our national life and handicap us
in the pursuit of a broad, humanitar-
ian helpful policy toward the world.
seeking to lift UP where help is need
ed and spread justice, fair dealing
and spirit of benevolence through
out the universe.
In the national election in 1920 the
people of the United States must
choose with discretion between ma
tionalsts and internationalists Our
future independence and our very ex-
istence may depend on the outcome

r+4E MAYFLoWER AND sUFoRD.

On December 81, 1920, the exploring
party from the Mayflower (1SO tons)
landed at Plymouth. On this ship
were Bradford, Brewster, Standish
,Winslow, Carver and others, in all
102 men, women and children. They
were all English; they came of the
race that had steadily won greater
and greater freedom for centuries and
since then their freedom has pro-
crossed.
On December 20. 1919, the Buford

with 249 alien anarchists. On this
ship the leaders were Goldman. Berk-

all were Russians; they came of a
race that has never achieved represen-
tative government.

4 Memorial
TO THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Born Oct. q, 1858; Died Jan. 6, 1919
(Sabina Penrod)

Loyal American!
Indomftable art thou,
Thou breathest no more the breath
OF life thou hast won
The victory over death
And still live on.
Throughout the ages thou shalt live.
On honor's roll, in halls Of fame,
Enshrned in hearts of men,
Thy voice, thy deeds, thy name,
Shall live again.
Intrepid Explorer!
Didst thou in regions vast, alone,
Eternity explore,
For him, thy youngest son,
Beyond times shore?
Hast thou the secret learned
OF that land beyond the tomb,
With thee, where thou hast gone,
Dost dwell where flowers bloom,
Thy hero son?
Brave Warrior!
Thy fighting days are DER,
Thy many battles fought and won,
Midst civil strife or war.
Thy course Is run.
The battles thou didst wage,
So wisely with thy pen,
Shall gid our flistory's page
And sway the minds of men,
OF every age.
Author! Philosopher!
Well known and loved, thy truths
Enrich our country's ample store
OF literature forsooth,
Thy wellwon lore,
From endless sources, CLEANED with
care,
Is coined into magic mine
OF stored-up knowledge, rare,
Portraying wide experience, fine
Beyond compare.
Able IS atesman!
The bravest of thy time,
History records no single one
With qualities more fine.
The things that make a noble man,
These all, were thine.
Pomp and show, you counted naught
Diplomacy and zeal for right
And wisdom born of thought,
Courage to keep the goal in sight.
These all, you sought.
Matchless Leader!
Whether boarding the grizzly
In his lair or lion in his den,
Whether you fought where cannon
Reared, or with your pen,
GU led all men.
Like him who sought the Holy Grail
By knowledge gained and work well
done,
You climbed the upward trail;
With courage we must follow on,
We shall not fail.
Great, good American!
Thou vert devoted to thy home,
A loving husband, father, friend,
The nation sorrowing the loss of thee,
Coincidence to thy loved ones lend;
The world laments, that on life's trail,
You've reached the end
Our loss, we know, to you is gain
And we'll we know, that thou shalt live
On honor's roll in halls of fame,
Enshrined in hearts Of men,
Thy voice, thy deeds, thy name
Shall live again.

ness was conceded by all who were

and the urgent need for better trained
men was universally advocated and
demanded. No one could tell how long
the war would continue. Some mill
tary experts prophesied that it would
rot end for ten years, and If we con
tlnued to send green men to France
to cope with the trained veterans OF
Germany, it was unreasonable to ex.
