THE BETTER PATRIOTISM
By DR.. Frank Crane

The better patriotism is the desire to
make ones own country serve the world
better than any other country serves the
world.
We do not make progress in civilization
except as our natural instincts become more
rational, and are brought more in accord
with our intelligence. Love does not become
a ciyiIzing agency except as it evolves from
a mere animal appetite to become an ideal
Worship ceases to be an agency of cruel
fanaticism and becomes a refining and hui
manizing power only it cleans itself from
superstition and grows into accord with in
telligence. So patriotism can only cease to
be a cause of wars and become the handmade
of universal peace as it rids itself from the
spirit of savage struggle and becomes a COM
petitOr in service.
Patriotism is destructive when it is a
sentiment directed toward making our coun-
flying our vanity with the idea that our
country shall be stronger and Weather than
others and so dictate to them.
And the patriotism that functions only in
preparing ones own country to defend itself
from the attacks Of others is really but the
desire to rule masquerading in humility.
For the only safety is in service. What is
true in business is true among nations. A
business house can prosper only so long
as it is of service to the community; and
nation can have real prosperity only so
long as it is of service TO the world
Above all nations is humanity. Unless
patriotism recognizes that it's place is Sec

The Fountain of Youth

THE excited discussion between DR.. Nor
rs Fishbein, associate editor of the
Journal of the American Medical AS
senting the Steinach theory Of renewed
youth through transplanted glands of certain
animals had scarcely died away before the
whole subject was brought up again by DR..
William Held, of Chicago. The doctor, it
is said, "uses chimpanzees, but does not
transplant their glands. The substance
says, is 'cholin "a toxic crystalline base al
lied to the bile). The chimpanzees are de-
cholinized by a special process. They have
not been penalized by the vices of civiliza-
ton. Injections of this serum are claimed
to restore the conditions of normal youth
in the human body In the near future,
says DR.. Held, an age of one hundred years
will be considered mere infancy"
If the doctor can demonstrate his theory
to the satisfaction of even limited num-
Der of the idle rich grown aged, there will

common" and "chimpanzee preferred" PROM

ports Of African epidemics. The preferred,
presumably, will represent the chimpanzees
that have not been "penalized by the vices
Of civilization" while, the others, grouped
under the classification, common" will in
clude those chimpanzees that have led an
irregular life and burned the candle at both
ends. Clearly, if renewed youth is to come
to the race through the chimpapzee, and, if
his previous condition, and mode of life, are
important factors, then the missionaries
should be given wider fields and new de-
partment added to Ellis Island. Only chin
panzees from the best African circles should
be admitted to our country

QUIPS AND OUIDDITIES

Little Isabel had been to stay with her
aunt, who was one of those old-fashioned
aunts who still exist, although we do not
hear so much about them as we do of old
fashioned mothers.
This particular lady had very precise no
lions of how people should speak, and she
soon got little Isabel into her ways.
The child came home, and one day she
went out for a walk with her dolls pram.
While she was out a terrific thunderstorm
took place, and when the little girl returned
her mother said to her:
Isabel, surely you haven't been out walk
ing in all that rain?"
Her aunt's teaching was clearly shown as
she replied sedately
mo, mother, I was just in that part of
the rain that was falling in my neighbor-
hood"

Labor Rejects Sebarat;sn1

~ PROPOSALS at the recent convention of
the American Federation of Labor
that separate workingmen's party be
formed, appears to have been taken by the
rank and file of the delegates about as seri-
ously as a whisk from the tail of Don Quix-
ote's horse. They voted the adventure down
by a majority of more than twenty-three
thousand, thereby evidencing the good sense
and the sound Americansm that have made
the Federation power in national affairs.
Government by classes is anything but
democratic, and, if one may judge by the
experience of European countries that have
gone furthest with that system, anything but
efficient. Italy, where parties long have
been numerous that none could muster
the strength to control, pays today under the
fist of Mussolini the penalty of amending
political divisions. Government by parties
must be responsible if it is to be responsive
must look for guidance to a body of fairly
unified and broadly representative opinion
But this cannot be when citizens group them
selves by little prejudices instead of large
convictions and by their narrowest instead of
their wider interests. Where that is the case
issues are not settled, but interminably pro-
longed or befuddled; rights are not vindi-
Gated, but sunk in petty chickering's; govern
ment is not stable and constructive, but a
continual wobble of cliques and compro-
mises.
For this brand of foreign politics the
American Federation of Labor shows as little
liking as for Sovietsm. Its overwhelming
vote against recognition for Bolshevist Rus
STA and its equally emphatic reputation of
communist cults as represented by one hold
ing credentials to its own membership. bear
witness to a steadiness of mind and a 10y
atty to American institutions that are no less
gratifying because expected

ondary, and that the highest good of all is
the welfare of the human race, patriotism
becomes septic.
Some time ago General Ludendorff gave
out a statement which illustrates the short
sight of the reactionary mind, that type of
Bourbon intelligence which learns nothing
and forgets nothing.
"To be prepared for war;" he said
should be the supreme law of every coun-
try, and the Weather the country the more
vital that becomes. For a country having
a large part of the gold of the world con-
centrated there, as has America, to indulge
in sentimental pacifsm in the present state
OF the world, is nothing short OF crime
against her own people and fraught with the
greatest dangers, since it invites the very
condition that the pacifsts wish to avert"
