God who is afraid, in your val.
liable paper, the following paper
from DR.. Frank Crane appeared
here i'm The New York Globe and
as have not seen it in the En-.
terprise, think your readers
may appreciate it:
Richmond P. HObson, the
brave sailor who distinguished
himself in the Spanish War by
a deed of valor, seems bent on
showing how a man can be
courageous in one instance and
foolish eyer after.
He is now engaged in warn
ing the people of the United
States that the japanese COLLINS
will get us if we don't watch out.
First, he says, the Japs will
blow up the Panama Canal.
The American fleet thus divided
would be helpless before the
japanese navy.
He thinks the Japs will lap up
zap, with the idea of cutting
across Americas line of COM
munication with the Philippines.
From the very first of the war
the Japanese have had their eye
on YaD.
In fact, Mr.. Hobson would
have us believe that the Mikado
and his official family are sitting
iup nights hating the United
States and working eight days a
week sharpening their smoker
snee to have our hearts blood.
The New York Times recent
~ looked up Mr.. Hobson's record
as a prophet, with interesting
results.
1t seems that fourteen years
ago he said that Japan was
spelling for war with this ma
tion." and that as soon as she
had negotiated loans in Europe
she would attack.
Wrong. Nothing happened.
On Nov. q, 1908. he wrote a
letter to President Roosevelt in
which he said we must not re-
move our fleet from the Pacific,
for Japan was just waiting for
this, when she would clear Us
out of the Pacific.
Wrong. The President did
not heed. Nothing happened.
On Feb. 20, 1911, he dcclar,-d
in the House of Representatives.
in the course of a discussion on
the naval appropriation bill,
that war was certain with Japan,
adding ssthat it cannot be very
far off,"

Stop and think!

Stop and think!
There are probably more
aliens in this country than in
any other country on the face
of the earth.
Our laws are more lax and
there is greater opportunity for
conspiring against the govern
ment than there is in any other
country.
And yet it is fact that there
is less internal unrest in this
country than in any other.
There is less undermining of the
established order of govern
ment. There is less dissatisfac-
ton of every nature.
And why?
We have no kings or nobility,
no landed aristocracy of an
cient lineage, no class distin-
|ctions such as they have in the
old world.
We are a democratic people,
our rulers are elected by vote of
the people, and they govern for
the benefit of the people.
There is no other government
quite such as ours. There is no
other government as fair to all
classes of people as ours. There
is no other government as gen.
erous and as humanitarian as
ours.
Aliens who come to our shores
make many times the money
they made in the lands from
whence they came. They arc
free agents and have no mas
tiers. They are. men, and not
serfs.
They have brains enough to
see the advantages of such a
government as ours. They have
too many brains to seek to des-
troy the source from which
their increased sustenance
comes.
In all lands there are a few
wild and rabid fools who seek
the destruction of government
simply because it is govern
ment--to sever their own noses
| for no other reason than that
noses are a part of the human
anatomy.
They are fewer, and less wild,
and less rabid in this country
than in any other.

AS THE EDITOR SEES 1T.
Stop and think!

Stop and think!
The country is beginning to
emerge from one of the severest
cases of business depression il
has experienced in years--a pc
riod of factories running On
half tine, with many of them
closed: construction work at Il
standstill: strikes tv;ng up what
little industry was left; retailers
selling half of their normal
quantity; five m;liicp people out
of employment.
Yet with all of these handi-
caps there has been no whisper
of a financial panic, such as
have caused widespread disaster
in former years.
Does this indicate that the
day of panics for this country
is over? 1t would seem so.
No matter how much we may
differ in our political beliefs, or
what party may be in power,
the fact remains that the Ameri-
can people have an abiding faith
in the stability of their govern
ment.
They know that it is as sound
as the Rock of Gibraltar.
They know that while we may
have our periodical depressions
in business--as we will always
have at intervals--the stability
of the government precludes
any possibility of destructive
panics.
Therefore, we have no panics.
This is the L. S. A.

Ability Must Be Shown.

We are all makers of the future. If
we have no voice in what is to be,
that is because we have no. lived up
to our rights. Every man and woman
is blessed with some outstanding abil-
ity or other Yet some of us have not
developed what we have. Because we
have not had the same conspicuous
talents as neighbOr John we have sim
ply ceased trying to be anything. No
wonder the matter of getting bread
for the Riddles has become trial.
Folks do not know what's in us be-
cause we have given them no demon
stration Of what to expect. It's our
right to be recognized. but that will
never be until we do few things to
merit place in the limelight, and
that's not so hard if you forget tie
spectators and work hard.-Grit.

most impossible to establish among

example, the incorrect phrase "'ie-

correct form is LET you and me go

simple. 'Let" is a transitive verb
