fCjntinui'd from front page)
much of its Httnotion, to the
luateriitt foundations of Its life;
to subduing this continent to the
uses of the nation and to build
ing up a great body of wealth
and material por-er. I find some
mrn who when they think of
.America do not tliink of any
thing elue but that But, my
friends, there have been other
nations just as rich and just as
powerful in comp-rioii with the
other nations of llio world as the
United States is, and it is a great
deal more important that we
should determine what we are
voing to do with our ,owrr than
that we should oossfess it.
"You must remember, there
fore, the elements with which
we are dealing Sometimes those
f u who were born in this part
of tht, country persuade our
selves that this is the character
istic part of America, Here more
than anywhere else has been
preserved a great nart of the
original stock which settled this
country, particularly that por
tion of the stock which came from
the British Isles. (I am not
meaning to exclude Ireland!)
And then I find a great many of
my frif nda who live in New Eng
land imagining that the history
ot this country is merely of the
expansion of Xew England, and
that P'yraonth Rock lies at the
foundation of our institutions.
As a matter of tact, my fellow
citizens, However mortifying it
may reem to them oi to us, A
raerica did not come out of the
south, and it did not come out of
New Fngland, 'The character-
istio part of America originated
la the middle states of New York
and Pennsylvania and New Jer
sey, because there fr-oi the firoi
Was that mixture of populations.
fiat mixture of racial stock
that , mixture o f antecedents
which is the most singular and
distinguishing mark of the Unit
ed States. The most important
single fact about this great na
ttou which we represent is that
it is one made up of all the ha:
tlons of the world... I t'are say
thai the men who came to Amer
ica then and th men who have
come to America since came with
a single purpose; ."harinff some
part of the passion for human
liberty which characterised the
men .who founded tin republic,
but they came with all sorts of
blood iu their veins, all sorts of
antecedents behind them, all
sorts of traditions in fheir family
and national lite, aud America
has had to solve as a melting
pot for all these diversified and
contrasted elements. What kind
of fire and pure passion are you
going to keep burning under the
pot in order that the mixture
thftt-eomes out may be purged
of its dross and may be thu fine
gold of untainted Amcricauijm?
That is the problem.
' I want to call your attrition
to anothcJ picture. America has
always txen making and to f e
made, and while we were in the
midst of this process, apparently
at the acme an i crisis of the
process, while this travail of soul
and fermentaion of elements was
at its height came this great
catechlysm ot European war,
and almost every other nation of
the world became involved la a
tremtadoua struggle, which: was
what, my fellow-citizens? , What
are the elements in the struggle?
Don t you see that in this Euro
pean war is involved the TtrV
America? It la a competition of
national standards, of national
traditions, of national politics
oulitical systems, Europe has
grappled in war as we have grap
pled in peace to see what Is go
ing to be done with these things
when llioy come into hot contact
with one another. For do you
not remember that while these
processes were going on in A
merica some very interesting
things were happening? It was
a very big world into which this
httlu nation came when it was
born, bt it is a viry little world
now. It used to take as many
days to no from Wanhidgton to
Charlotte In those days as it does
hours now. I heard an Irishman
say if the power of steam con
tinued to increase in the next
fifty years as it hud in tho last
we would get to Charlotte two
hours before we left Washing
ton, And as these processes of
intercommunication have been
developer1 and quickened, men
of ti.e same nation, not only have
grown closer neighbors, but men
of different nations have grown
closer neighbois with each other; j
and now that we have these in
visible tongues that speak by
the wirele.m through thu track
less air to the ends of the world.
every man can make every other
man in the world his neighbui
and spcaK to liun upon the ino
ment. While these processes of
fermentation and travail were
going on, men were learning
oouo eaen oilier nations were
becoming moro and more ac
qua'n'ed with each other, na
lions were more and more be'
comirg iuten elated and inter
eommurication was being quick
ened in every possible way
that now the melting pot is big
eer than Amorjra. It is as big
as the world. And what you see
tuking place on the other side of
the water is the tremendous!
had about s&id final process by
which a oitest of elements mf
in God's process be turned Into
a co-ordination and co-oocration
of elements.
r vr it is an interesting cir
cu instance that the processes
the war stand still. These hot
things that are is contact with
each other do not make very
much progress against each oth
er. When you cannot overcome,
you mut ta'e counsel. See,
then, ladies mid gentlemen, what
a new age we have come into
I should think that it would
quicken the imagination of every
in in and quicken tbo patriotism
ot every man who cared for A
merica. Here la America we
have tried to set the example of
bringing all the world together
upon terms of liberty and co-oo
eration and peace, aid in that
great experience that we have
been going through America has
been a sort of prophetic sample
of mnckind. Now the world
outside of America has felt the
forces of Aafe: felt the forces
of freedom, the forces of com
mon aspiration, the forces that
bring eyory man andevery na
tion face to face with this ques
tion, What are you going to do
with your power? Are on go
ing to translate it into force, or
art you going to translate it into
peajo and the salvation ot so
cety? Does it not interest you
that America has run before the
rest ot tho world iV making trial
of this great human experiment,
and is it not the sign and dawn
of a new age that one tiding upon
which the world is now about to
tall is the moral judgement of
mankind. There is no finer sen
tence in the history of great na
tions than the. sentence which
occurs in the Declaration of In
dependence (I am now referring
to the minor declaration at Pbil
adolphia, not to the Mecklenburg
Declaration )id which Mr. "Jeffer
son said, 'A decent respect for
the opinion o( mankind makes it
necessary I am not quoting the
words exactlythat we should
state i tjSe grounds upon which wej
have taken 'the important step
of tsertingj our lipdcpfndence.'
