Several years ago back at the close of the annual baseball world's series games, one fan remarked to another: .,It wasn't much of a world,s series.', And his friend said: "What did you expect? It isn't much of a world!', I thought of that the other day when I heard a bunch of men discussingas who does notthe conditions pre- vailing in the world today, and one of them said: ,,Sure, this is the best country on earth ! It is not only the best but it is much the best country ! No doubt about that ! But is that saying much?"

And as you look .uo,rl ,"J *rJ"", and watch the antics of men and nations, you may be inclined to agree with the man who made that remark and asked that question. you often hear someone say: "Too bad Will Rogers didn't live until now. With his wit and wisdom he might be a lot of help in pointing the way out of our American p.roblems." He might, at that.

Too bad William Allen White couldn't be here now to editorialize the confusion in which we find the world and ourselves involved as in some dark net. He was a small town editor in Kansas. One day when he sat down to write, he was just a well liked, respected, small town editor. He got to thinking of conditions prevailing right then in his beloved state of Kansas, and his thoughts began pouring out on paper. And when he finished he was famous. For he had written "What's the Matter With Kansas?" which became one of the most quoted of all American newspaper editorials. He just took off the gloves and told his fellow-Kansans, and the world, just what ailed that state.

another Gettysburg Address, or another George Washington with his greatest appeals to patriotism and Americanism, would sufficiently arouse this nation to what goes on. It is doubtful if another "What's the Matter With Kansas?" by a later-day colossus, would even make a dent in our civic consciousness. Rampant partisanship would probably emasculate any such effort. That's the way it looks.

For many blessed generations the children of this nation had instilled into their hearts and minds from earliest days the immortal and imperishable truth that this is the greatest nation in the world; that the country in which we live is the most blessed that the children of men have ever known; that here, and here alone, all men are equal before their God and their government; that the children of the poor have the same rights and privileges enjoyed by children of the rich; that those certain inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness belong to every citizen and cannot be denied him: that there is more tolerance, more fellowship, more fair p,lay, more understanding, more genuine opportunity, more unvarnished equality here than there is or has ever been anywhere on the face of the earth; that every American citizen should thank God every hour of the day for the unequalled blessings that come to him with his American birthright; that the kingly crown of an American citizen is the grandest crown ever worn by a sovereign; that the boy from the cottage has as much rightand a whole lot more chanceto become President as the boy from the mansion; that this is, in fact and in truth, "The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave."

Mothers used to teach these consecrated truths to the children at her knee. Fathers would proudly proclaim them to their sons, and strive that these glad tidings of great joy might be ineradicably imbedded in their consciousness. Every teacher used to teach them in our schools. Every preacher used to proclaim them from his pulpit. Every statesman emblazoned them. Every Fourth of July orator jeweled them with fine phrases. Every historian sought to imbed them in the timeless scroll of history. Every patriotic assembly proclaimed their sanctity. They became the rock-ribbed foundations upon which the eternal glory of this nation was built. They were the heart of our nation's heart, and the fiber of our nation's fiber.
