The United States is the most powerful nation ip the world today, Is it poasible to tell what Inheritance of bleed and during the critical era into which all civilization is now passing? William 8, Roaaiter, expert economist, statistician and census maker, gives the answer tn the August number of the Atlantio Monthly, In an exhaustive study of immigration and census returns, he finds there 65,000,000 persons of British ancestry, including a sprinkling of descendents of Irish, German and other tmmi- grants who came to America 69 or more years ago, These latter have so mingled with the natives of Anglo-Saxon blood as to be one with) | This group, comprising one-half of America’s population, tf» a homo. | | them. geneous element. Mr. Rossiter describes it as “the element which man ages and controls the United States.” That is to say, the United States is not a radical mixture, without tradition and baving no purity of ancestors, The United Stated is the most powerful Anglo-Saxon commonwealth in the world, The freedom, the Instinct for self government, the hardihood and strength of character which are Anglo Saxon possessions belong to the governing element in American life. It is well to have this fact emphasized. The world is looking more and more to the United States for leadership, Americans are some what bewildered and, indeed, have been made rather shy by the inter national attention concentrated on them, They don't know what their destiny is to be in their new environment. But Mr, Ronsiter's firures prove that whatever the creative impulse may bring forth in America, the result will be Anglo-Saxon in its essential characteristica That is enough to know for the present. Gflson Gartner, author of “A New Robinson Crusoe,” just published, visits a mythical island village, He sees homes of the inhabitants and— “In every house I entered I beheld great numbers of children, and,) indeed, other evidences of proxperity.” Do you get that? “Other evidences of prosperity”? Is that the way you look upon children, especially upon the children of others? What, pray, is prosperity if it isn’t the possession of something you hold dear? Those who translate prosperity tn terms of dollar, mansions, auto mobiles, acrea, stocks and bonds, may be right To them that is prosperity. But those who translate ft tn terms of children are right, too. And who, save the crabbed old bachelor, the greedy miser, the envious glut- ton, will refuse to admit that these human evidences of prosperity are the best of all? posterity. However, Seattle apartment house owners In many cases take tare with this, Bolshevism A tremendous number of people in this country are tremendously wgitated over the danger of the spread of “Bolshevism” tn America. Notwithstanding the evidence of the real character of communiam and Bolshevism in action, the fear that America may become “infected” with the virus of thin disease is widespread. ‘There must be a reason why people, otherwise mane and normal, can be brought to the point where they fear this thing. Is it concetv- able that a nation of healthy, happy human beings could turn to the doctrine of despair tat is called Bolrheviem? Of course not. Is it possible, then, that those who sit in the seats of the mighty and fear this terrible menace are not quite as sure an they might be that this is a nation of healthy, happy, human beings? Perhaps. At any rate, Roger Babson, the eminent statistician and economist, has said something to think about on this subject. This te tt: “The fact remains that under the laws, as set up today, property and capital receive greater respect than health and happiness, This fact is the cause of the radical movements of today and only as we rectify the situation can Holsheviem be curbed. In any city where a call from a poor widow’s home will receive the same attention as the call from a prominent jewelry stare, there will be no growth of Bolshevism.” It ts worth thinking about. Adversity Te & a common belef that men weaken under adversity. Nothing could be mare remote from the truth. Consider the case of the Manhasset (1. 1) man, He is 33. He went to war. He was gassed twice, While at war— He lost his wife. He lost his father, He lost his health. He lost his business. That is enough for a man to tone? He now is taking a two years’ college course tn scientific farming. “1 will succeed in that,” says he. Men do not weaken if they are men. Advernity of this kind only serves to bring out thelr strength. That's all. It seems a cruel way to make a man-—by grinding him out of the torment of a living hell. But it is the way, and no one can change it. It is natural it should be #0, and so it must be. That is the way all great characters are made—by battling with fists against adversity. ‘ Enjoy Yourself Let's five while the living ts good, One paases this way but once, Tomorrow may never come. The man, and the woman, who makes the very best out of every day is he who gets the most enjoyment and comfort out of life. Take the wife and the children, father, out on that litle picnic, now. Just bundle them up, get into the flivver or the eight-cylinder motor and be off. Trite, but true: procrastination persists still in being the thief of time.
