American
Principles

1t has been said that patriotism
must be an intelligent patriotism
there is much that passes for it that
is not intelligent, and some that falls
within DR.. Johnson's definition: "Pa-
triotism is the last refuge of a scoun-
drel.' Nothing is easier than to be
patriotic when it is simply question
of going with the crowd. But more

But this State house is beautiful in
itself; 1t was beautiful when it was
young and new; it will remain beauti-
full as long as it stands, with its tradi-
lions growing more interesting with
time. After all, Philadelphia was the
largest and richest Colonial city of
Great Britain, and so it was natural
that fine administrative structure
should be built here. And it was put
up In the same period which saw the
construction of two other admirable
state houses, that of Boston (not the
stately pillared building of the pres
ent time, but the delightful ancient
state house,, and the charming State
house of Annapolis. All three are
lessons in good taste, in positive
beauty And the Philadelphia struc-
ture is the finest of the three.
The State house is a beautiful
building, alike in it's mass effects and
in its smallest details, in the views of
it from the exterior or in rooms
within. It's facade is exactly conferred,

Many Things to Learn.
On the nations birthday, therefore,
the American people should pledge
| themselves to greater. devotion to
American ideals, to more loyal and I'M
selfish service, and to stricter conform
ity to those great principles which lie
at the basis of the nations life. There
is great need for education, since much
of the failure to appreciate this coun-
try is due to a pitiable ignorance of
it's history, its institutions, and of all
that America has throughout its life
stood for. And this ignorance is often
the densest in the minds of those who
think of themselves as reformers, and
who indeed are allowed to pose as
such. Men need to be very sure that
they know what liberty, as won by
people of the Anglican rate, is, and
what are it's safeguards. It is partic-
ularly necessary that they should I'M
derstand the right of minorities, and
should realize that there is such a
thing as the despotism of majorities.
There are some things that vote of
the majority cannot be allowed to
sanction, as our constitution recog
nizes. Perhaps this is one of the most
important lessons to be learned, as it
seems to be the most difficult to bring !,
home to men. The very restraints Of |

do not merely float in the air-they
are incarnated in men and women
/ and by men and women they are ap
