AMERICA’S COMING OF AGE.
1 By Dr. Frank Crane.
America is coming of age.
Her hundred years of democ¬
racy have been but the* prepara¬
tion for her manhood.
It is a cheap jibe to say that
America was unprepared for thi
war. It has been the mightiest
preparation in the history of na
mus. For over a century De
' iny has been preparing in this
New World a spirit of triumph¬
ant Democracy. Such a spirit
cannot be made. It must be
grown, inbred.
On this Western Continert
Destiny has been training the
young Galahad for the rescue of
the world.
Nature has an antidote for <
ery poison. American Democra
j C y j s antidote for German
‘ a utocracy.
Every one of our wars has
been for the same purpose; to
liberate the common man.
The Revolution of 1776 was to
jean colonists who were redeem
ing this wilderness.
i The Tho War nf of 1812 iRii was to res¬
cue American seamen from op¬
pression. The Mexican Wjar was
i to liberate the settlers of Texas
[from the whimsy cruelty of
Mexi co.
i The Spanish War was to save
j the people of Cuba from the tyr
j anny of the Spanish Govern¬
ment..
Butall of our wars have been
but a preparation for our pro
ent task. We did not realize it.
No man forsees his Destiny, no
nation forsees its mission. Yet
the life of every nation, as of ev -
ery man, is a plan of God.
I viou God has nas been ueen piling yiuug up up riches uuiw
Jon this continent until w r e are th?
wealthiest nation in the world,

present conflict, for „ your real
work. Go forth and make th(
world a decent place to live in.”
At this time every son of
America is called upon to do his
utmost. The slacker is a traitor.
We are sending men across the
; ocean, men who are physically
and mentally the pick of the
I world, an incomparable army
But the men at home must back
up.
It is as much our solemn dutv
to rut our monev in the Fourth
