AN .AMERICAN
War. peace, and prospcrlty.-thl. is the sequence of even s as
they have transpired in America during the past two years. h.t a
Nessmg it is to the American people, that the United States Senate
dte President, finally decided on April 6. 1.17. to cast the desUn
of this nation on the side of the Allies! Of all nations, the United
States of America, has profited most, from this insanely crm, nal an
wicked war. Prior to our declaration of war, our place as a first class
power was doubted by some of the more powerful European nations;
our boastings of military and naval strength were ridiculed by Ger
many, and considered with skepticism by Great Britain and France,
we were apart from the world family of nations, enjoying what some
termed "proud isolation." But now we are recognized as the wealthi
est nation on the face of the earth; the political peer of even England;
and are conceded to hold the balance of power in any combination of
nations that might be formed.
The United States entered the war. a debtor nation to the extent
of $5,000,000,000.00, and she emerges a creditor nation to the extent
of $8 000.000,000.00. This is a total gain in wealth of $13,000,000,000.00,
a sum which is beyond the comprehension and imagination of the
wildest dreamers. The statistics which have been compiled by the
Allied governments tell us that there are 11.000,000 war graves in
Europe today. Of this number. 100.000 are those of American soldiers.
Can anyone doubt that America has gained everything from the war,
and given but little, when compared to the enormous sacrifices in
lives and wealth of the smallest European countries? We are literally
rolling in our wealth. Some of us fail to see ttat, individually, we
haven't any more cash than we had in 1917, but as a nation, we have
untold wealth and resources. All nations are owing us, while we owe
none We still hold fast to the traditional policies of the Monroe
Doctrine, and, "no entangling alliances." but we are at last a world
power, with world influence and importance. A thoughtful comv.dcrr.
tion of these facts impresses one with the glorious realization of
what it wans to be, AN AMERICAN.
A PROPER EGOTISM
"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing." Egotism is one of
man's worst enemies. ..
Did you ever become acquainted with a man who ' knew it all.
one who. no matter what subject was brought up in the ordinary
course of conversation, had either been there, or had heard all about
it or who felt it necessary to interrupt every other minute just to
make sure that you were aware of the extent of his knowledge? That
man wonders why he fails to make friends.
Then there is another type: the man who wants to do something
worth while, but doesn't think he can. He lacks self-confidenct.
That man wouldn't even make a good clerk in a grocery store.
But did you ever notice the man who makes egotism a virtue? He
knows a few things, and knows he knows them, but he doesn't go
around telling everybody about it. That man doesn't have to wonder
why he fails to make friends. He has them.
Egotism can be made a hindrance but it can also be made a
stepping-stone to success. John D. Rockefeller would never have
amassed his great fortune if he had thought he couldn't do it. and
there was no use even trying. But he believed he could make a finan
cial success, and he did. He knew he had brains, but he didn't tell
anybody about it except John D. Rockefeller. Grinnell Scarlet and
Black.
There is a large majority of people in this .world who base their
judgments of other men by the way they conduct themselves before
others. This judgment is of course some times at variance with the
true state of affairs, for the man in public action is often a dif erent
person from the same man in his private thinking. Since mere
mortals cannot lift the cover on a man's thoughts at will we cannot
blame them for turning to a more objective field of information.
Granting then that it is only fair that you should be appraised at the
face value of your public actions, how far above or below par would
they place you? That is the question each man might profitably
consider. The Tar Heel, North Carolina.

Yet tin re ain't no use leavin' 'fore
Ivy Day
And mark my word. George, mark

hoard
But I know because 1 have witnessed
- day
And there ain't no use in going away.
Why, George, you can dance till your
breath runs out
And vour feet's all sore like a man
with the gout
There is joy as supreme as the smile
of a bride
And somethin' just sorta breaks loose
inside
Why hang it all. George, it is food
for heart
Just to put on a clean shirt and pick
out a part
And be one of the gang for a long
sweet day
Let's you and me linger, George, what
do you say?
