People Demanded Pershing Speak En Tour
And What ffe-Said Is .Worth Remembering
General Pershing-, Nebraska's candidate for the republican presidential nomination, has finished his
inspection tour of the country and is now back at his desk in Washington, hard at work.
He has declined to go campaigning for the nomination, preferring instead to devote all his time and
energy to the job for which the government is paying him. .'
On hi inspection tour General Pershing was greeted by great multitudes with marked enthusiasm.
Everywhere he went the people turned oui in great numbers tq show their love for, devotion to, and appre
ciation o,him and demanded that he speak to them. ,
tieneral Pershing is not much accustomed to public speaking, but he showed on this tpur that he
knows, how to make an excellent speech when occasion demands. Few of the public men of this country
can phrase their thought with more grace and .precision. Some of the things he said in the1 speeches the
people demanded he make to them are likely to be quoted long years after he is dead. Here are excerpts
from some of his speeches that will give an idea of what he thinks on various subjects and of how he gives
egression to his thoughts: t x -
Snuare Ileal for. Farmer. 9
The farmer is the ereat Amer
:can producer upon whom our
armies and the armies of the allies
depended for their maintaina'nee. I
want to pay a tribute to him, not
ony for myself, but also for the
allies, who spoke the praises of the
American farmer it their means of
sustenance during the dark days of
the war. Wc need the farmer in
these days of reconstruction as
acutely as- we needed him in war.
We must see that he gets a square
ileal, that there is a system of dis
tribution of his products that will
yield him a larger return for his
arduous labor, without increasing
the price to the consumer." From
an address by General 'Pershing at
Lincoln.
Pershing Opposes Militarism.
"Militarism in the American re
public is impossible. Militarism is
an autocracy and autocracy is
built up for selfish purposes. Is
there anyone in America who is go
ing to build up autocracy for. selfish
purposes? No." From an 'address
by Geieral Pershing before the Lin
coln. 'Rotary club, " '
Pershing On Patriotism.
'jWo have learned now swliat. it
means to be patriotic, but patriotism
is not a garment that can be put
on today and taken off tomorrow.
It is a quality of the soul, something
that is worn bv dav and by iiieht.
We begin teaching it as devotion at
the mother s knee; it is earned on
in the public schools, and we must
see to it that our generations are
taught that some day they must as
sume the responsibilities of citizen
ship, anJ to live up to the ideals of
those great men who drew our
constitution." .Fromvan address at
Fort Worth,- Tex., February 7, 1920.
1 Jhe Woman's Contribution.
"the credit for winning the war
is largely due to women. Patriotism
Jike religion is implanted in the son
by the mother; and from Afwericau
mothers sprang the patriotism that
carried Americans overseas, onto
the field of battle, and to ultimate
victory. Again, AmericTTrT women
were responsible fort the victory in
bringing to the battlefield and
trenches the touch of home needed
hy the men to upkeep their morale.
The morality of the America army
stands unchallenged because of
American women who frere found
everywhere v they were needed, in
trenches, in hospitals, in billets and
always by the side of the fighter in
need. In many instances their quiet
courage was just' the thing needed
to stir a man to the utmost." From
an address at Los Angeles.
. Eliminate, the Red., . .
"The time has come to eliminate
the reds. The agitator finds it easy
to mislead the ignorant man. Thus,
it comes about that the native born
is quite as easy to handle as the for
eign born, if he is ignorant. We
should give the alien a limited time
to learn the English language, and
then give him a limited time to learn
something about American institu
tions. If after a reasonable period

Pershing's Favorite Rank. ;. -"While
crossing the country down
in Georgia I wasTnade 'citizen' of a
small town. Later on, as I was
speaking to a group in another vil
lage, one of the old men spoke up
and said the people of the commun
ity hark derided to promote me to
the rank of 'colonel. Still later, an
other group In Alabama 'did the
honor to raise my rank to 'major.'
So it went until I reached Detroit,
where the commander of the legion
post said I had been given the high
est rank, that of 'bmldv.' " From a
specYh at Portland, Ore., January
18.
For Community Organization.
"The greatest lesson we have
learned from the war is organiza
tion. If organization can do such
wonders in time of ,war, it ,can do
then in time of peace. We should
pay more attention to community
organization.-1 believe the safely of
the constitution lies in the in
tegrity of the community. The com
munity must, take as much pride in
Americanism as it does in material
progress; it must see that none re
main in Sgnorance; it mustr there-
lore, be the barker of the publij:

'"Voiijare going tmeet a savage
enemy, flushed with victory. Meet
them like Americans. Wlifn you hit,
hit hard and don't stop hitting. Ym
don't know the meaning-of the word
defeat. When you., get into battle
forget-all you "have learned out of
books. Use-your head and hit the
line' hard. From an address to the
First Division as it was going into
action near Picardy in 1918.
Get Back to Peace.
"It js imperative for the nations
of the world that conditions that
existed before the war be restored,
ar.G it is much more important that
the American people, for their peate
of mind and welfare, resume com
merce and industry with renewed
vigor. We must increase the use of
our gefods in markets we supply, and
reach out for new markets, America
is a living example to the other na
tions of the world, and they cannot

Chattanooga.
; Eliminate Illiteracy.
- "Statistics gathered wheif the
draft law went into effect showed
2;; per cent of ihe men drafted were
illiterate. In a country of homes
and schools and churches, if one
fourth of our young men have been
allowed to grow up in illiteracy, it
is a shame and disgrace to America.

"Allegiance to God and country
is everything. It includes all else
that is worth while and goes into
the making of a real man. Be true
to God be a Christian be true to
your" country, and you will be a
real American. Because of its
Christianity the American army was
an j invincible army. It sent the'
doughboys home clean in mind, in
physique and in morals. It was a
deeply religious army. Relegion and
moral jdcals are greater 'factors in
agressiveness than anything else,"
