Those seeking an unbeatable example of courage and ambition would do well to consider the history of an American woman, the mother of one of our Presidents. Rutherford B. Hayes was a posthumous child, born three months after his father died. He was a weakling, so much so that for many months his tife was despaired of by everyone-except his mother. She refused to give him up to what seemed like certain oblivion. And when the days were the darkest she would defiantly declare: "You wait and see ! I shall not only raise him, but I shall make him President of the United States!" On March 15th, 1877, Rutherford B. Hayes was inaugurated President. For that weak baby had become a very powerful man, had served through the Civil War and come out a General. He had strength of character as well as body and mind. When in the midst of the war (he was'wearing a colonel's eagles then) he was petitioned to come home and run for Congress from his home district, he replied (and his reply should be historical): "Thanks. I have other business now. Any man who would leave the army at this time to electioneer for Congress, ought to be scalped." So, when you seek a very wonderful example, remember the mother of Rutherford B. Hayes.

I would like to see human ingenuity and productiveness put on a premium this year-and from here on out-just as it used to be. I want to see the man who can think, and do, and work, and produce, and create, rewarded in proportion to his usefulness. I want him to be tolerant of the less able man, and help him to find a place in the picture. But it is sad to see this great nation, with its innate love for brains and virility and efficiency and usefulness put under any plan that will lessen the opportunity of the INDIVIDUAL. We cannot plant Americans like corn in rows, with the weak and the strong, the useful and less useful, the active and the lazy-all gauged, and paid, alike. That means only one thing: dry rot for the individual; loss of developed leadership for the nation.

Our hope for the future is in the individual American. Never forget that the Ten Commandments are each in the singular, and addressed to the individuals of the human race; not to mankind in the aggregate. Everything the

United States is, everything it ever was or ever did was based on the absolute independence of the individual. The submersion of the individual into groups and gangs is not Democracy-it is antithesis of Democracy. No America could ever have been built that way; and no America can continue to progress that way.

What have we been fighting for these last sad, bloody years? We've been fighting and struggling and pouring out our treasure and the blood of our youngest and best to uphold the principle of individual human liberty, and the truth that all men were created equal. That is a truth that none but a tyrant or a scoundrel ever doubted. Whoever denies that truth is either a liar and the son of a liar, or he is a damnable rascal.

The whole history of America is the slow and painful enfranchisement of the individual. Our fathers devoted their lives and genius and spent their blood and money to founding a government for the protection of the rights of the individual man. Understanding the privileges and responsibilities of our citizenship is every American's obligation. Every farmer, when plowing the field that will rustle with corn or wheat or cotton or as he sows the field for perfumed hay, should understand that he is building the wealth of the United States. Every man who toils, whether it be with brain or brawn, should rcalize that he is doing something grander than just producing the things that his labor develops-he is keeping the wheels of civilization turning; he is building. the homes, he is making the statutes, he is painting the pictures, he is writing and printing the books and newspapers. He is helping to fill America with honor and with happiness, with love and with law.

' Every American every day should make a declaration of independence. Every man should be absolutely free and independent, knowing only the sacred obligations of honor, affection, and loyalty to country. Let him be independent of. organization or association of every sort except his own conscience and his own brains. Let him have a clear deed in fee simple to himself, without any mortgages on the premises. For that was how America was made. It is a grand thing to be owner of yourself, a wonderful thing to protect the rights of others, a sublime thing to be just and free.

He loves his country best who strives to make it best. He is the greatest patriot who has the greatest fear that something wrong will happen to his country.
