Love of Country

Elihu Root, a fine American of other days, wrote these impressive words:

True love of country is not mere blind partisanship. ft is regard for the people of one's country, and all of them.

It is a feeling of fellowship and brotherhood for all of them.

It is a desire for the prosperity and happiness of all of them.

It is kind and considerate judgment toward all of them. The first duty of popular self-government is individual self-control.

The essential condition of true progress is that it shall be based upon grounds of reason, and not of prejudice.

Lincoln's noble sentiment of charity for all and malice

An Editorial toward none was not a specific for the Civil War, but a living principle of action.
