! 1 a fifth of it is gone. Time
rushes swiftly, evenly,
- through good times and
lad, through war and peace.

McCay's cartoon shows Uncle Sam, super
han of strength, intelligence and will EN-
Iodying within himself the wills Of one hun
hed and five millions Of people, looking out
In the future, the sea of time, as Columbus,
he old, brave sailor, looked out upon the
cean ahead of him, WITHOUT FEAR.
Nietzsche, strange German genius, creator
# the superman idea, showed his cara

The eagle is enough for our superman; the
erpent was left behind in Europe, where it

~ ~ The hanger on of low caste, that tried to
iI1,suade Alexander the Great to push on
through India and conquer all down to the
fanges, had nothing but courage to help him.
BUT he HAD that. And when Alexander's
bldiers would 60 no farther this hanger ON
TENT on himself and made HIMSELF ruler
i India. COURAGE WAS HIS ONLY
tSSET.
And courage was the asset that took
alexander across the narrow water to make
himself master of the world, with only thirty
thousand men behind him.
II Courage took Charles the Twelfth OF
tweden conquering through Russia, cutting
Pwn and through the armies of Peter the
Ireat, with only twelve thousand men.
u Courage took the martyrs, unflinching
Trough fire and before the wild beasts, to
heir eternal glory.
Courage enables a hundred million poor
kothers Of this earth to face poverty and take
heir children through it, raising them to be
beful men and women.
