and glory upon
General Grant, the
puke of Wellington and Napoleon as
patriots I ecauae they led armed
forces of their respective countries.
The exploits of Colonel Lindbergh,
together with that of Chamberlin
and L.vine, have glorified the Unit
ed Sta’f?. But this glory was not
offset ty any rancor incured by other
countries France and Germany were
; ust a «, rithu«iastic in ucclaiming the
exploit* of our fliers as we were.
This i? l * ,e kind of patriotism
and patriotic action, for it is one
which exalts one’s native country and
at the time does not awaken
animosity in other peoples.
Undfu' .edly Thomas Edison has
p!«.rifi-<! his own country quite as
much a.- General Grant. On a vote
taken ' France recently the most
popui.>i Frenchman way found to be
not Napoleon, but Louis Pasteur.
So Darwin and Jenner huve done
more to exalt the prestige of Eng
land than Drake -*nd Wellington.
Koch and Goethe have spread the
fame of Germany far more than
Von Moltke and Ludenburg, and
Marconi and Bellanca have made
Italy famous .and are entitled to the
gratitude of their country quite as
much as Garibaldi.
Tolstoy has done more to spread
the renown of Russia than all her
This throw* a welcome light upon
true patriotism which is found in
that harmless rivalry of achievement
by the members of the various
national groups.
There is no bad blood in this com
petition. There is nothing gained
for one country which is not equally
valuable for the whole world.
We are learning that to be a good
national is to be -a good world citizen,
and the applause of mankind is quite
us valuable as the upplause of one's
fellow citizens.
In order to elevate our country and
to magnify it, it is no longer neces-
.*ury to go out and kill somebody to
unnex some other territory; it is bet
ter to do something that shall excite
both the emulation and the applause
of the whole world.
AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF
M1LLEDCEV1LLE TO RUY
CHRISTMAS SEALS
The good work accomplished by
this Anti Tuberculosis activities in
lessening ho danger of tuberculosis,
I am yur is too well known to all
for me to relate here—This dread
descale is a constant source of con
cern and its prevalence in our com
munity i. far greater than we think.
All the funds from the sale of
Christma- seals go towards elimi
nating tuberculosis.
It has grown customary to offer
these seals to all Chrirtmns’packages
and on letters—None is complete
without them. Show your thought
of the unfortunate by buying Christ
mas seals.
For the convinience of the public I
have placid these selas at all Drug
stores und have asked young ladies
to assist me in selling these on the
streets. 1 hope for your genenous
responce.
