UNION RECORDER. MIULEOGEVILLE. GA.. DECEMBER l». It*? J 1 frank cmne says oooea** a r* w " 1 flee* hono' country. 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.
