Declares America the
Continent of Peace
Madison. Wis. June 21.-"U I were slavery he declared represented the
AN ANCIENT RACE DYING OUT.
asked of 'what good America was to
Europe I would Ray that Columbus
cut large doors and windows on the
west side of the old European manor
which received its ventilation only
from the east. America has regener-
ated the old world since the XVIth
century as effectually as the influx
from Central Europe regenerated it
in the Middle Ages."
This was the declaration of Senor
Habuco the Brazilian ambassador
who today delivered the baccalaureate
address to the graduating class at
the university of Wisconsin. The am-
bassador took for his subject "The
Share of America in Civilization"
and gave prominence to certain of his
impressions regarding the contribu-
tions of the United States to civiliza-
tion. To his mind said the ambassador
the United States was a nation in
Borne respects of unique type the
only one approaching it being the Ro-
man Empire when Hearing dissolu-
tion. "Every other' nation" he said
"is or was composed of a race or of
separate races speaking each its own
language; you are a nation formed
by the fusion of races of different lan-
guages brought by superior induce-
ments to speak only the hereditary
language of the country. In other
words you are a nation formed of
cations by their own will. Here lies
all the difference; you are formed by
free immigration not by conquest."
America was really the New Europe.
Thanks to the Monroe doctrine he
said America was the continent of
peace " and this colossal peace unit
Interesting deeply the regions of the
earth the whole Pacific one could
ayforms a neutral hemisphere and
balances the other hemisphere which
we might call the Belligerent llomls
here." With the prodigious growth of
the United States he said its peace
sentiment would have to be tested
when its national aggrandizement
meets with the first serious obstacle.
"The question is" he said "if you
then would not proclaim the holy na
tional way. As yet no one could say
that peace is a permanent article of
faith with you such as are democracy
and religious toleration for Instance.
The great fortune of mankind is that
the period of your unopposed growth
permitting you to live In poaceand to
exercise your great moral ana com
jnercial pressure for peace coincides
with the time when the progress of
civilization and probably that ol scl
ence also will succeed in substituting
international law for war or in de-
taching: war from international law
of which it makes yet the principal
part." He believed that nothing wolild
do more to tlx on the mind of the peo
pie of the United States the purpose
Of peace than ran-Aniericanism. He
therefore drew the deduction that "as
what gives the greatest strength to
your power for peace Is immigration
J would classify immigration -as the
greatest of all contributions of Amer-
ica to civilization." Immigration not
true Aineican sap.
Next to immigration the Ambassa-
dor named democracy which he char-
acterized as distinctly American. One
could not break the chain of a
sentiment he said "but the Ameri-
can democracy is genuinely now; a
new design; the ancient did not pro-
duce it nor would Europe have pro-
duced it."
Another great contribution he said
was the equality of social conditions
among all classes of the nation. "This"
he said "is the explanation why it
has became the adoptive country the
elected home of men of all races born
and reared under the contrary prin-
ciples of unequality."
Ambassador Nabuco did not believe
that America was yet leading in the
increase of the intellectual power of
man that is science but he did be-
lieve that it was already leading in
the improvement of man's social con-
dition "I do not say alone but with
a few other nations which look chief-
ly to you." For the moment he de-
clared no one could say if the New
American Political Economy is or not
one of the great contributions of the
United States to civilization. "The
universities of America" he maintain-
ed "are watch-towers admirably pre-
nared to follow the progress of the
economical evolution and to solve in
time the riddle of the Sphinx." One
tiling was sure he said with em-
phasis the age of Franklin would
not end in history as the age of
Midas.
Coming to the question of American
education. Ambassador Nabuco declar-
ed that it seemed to be the only one
that was not wholly conventional.
"You alone" he said "give as the
greatest of all human teachings self-
reliance. And new to mankind you
teach self-reliance not only to men
but to women. There never existed in
the world such a youth of both sexes
with the same training for life. You
Dlunce them since the childhood in
a bath that gives to both the strength
and the elasticity of steel. You have
changed the rythni of life; you write
it in quick tempo and the world is
catching from you the spirit of rapid
transformation and is writing it also
In the Ameircan prestissimo instead
of the old adagio."
Among the other great contribu-
tions the ambassador mentioned Amer-
ican inventions.
As for Latin America the ambassa-
dor said it was rather early to speak
of the part artdgned it in history. "We
have not yet been ordered to enter the
stage; the plays of Cod are very long
ones; bis acts are ages." he said. Up
to now however Latin America had
done a considerable work of civ'liza-
tlon against great difficulties and he
believed that nowhere could be select-
ed (Iner types of man and woman than
among its dfferent nations. "We hope"
he said In conclusion "we do honor
to our native stocks that we show
compared to them traits of the same
evolution as you present compared to
the English race.'
JlpOUlLUtt
Vtddahi ef Ceylon Regarded ae Rep-
resenting the Stone Age.
The oldest inhabitants of Ceylon r
passing away. These are the famous
Veddahs.
Fifty years ago it was estimated
that 8000 of them were still living la
the forests but Dr. Max Moszkownkl
who has recently visited them Bays
there are only 50 or SO of them still
alive and that a few more years yi
see the end of their race.
The Veddahs have Interested n-
thropoioglsts because '.hey have been
regarded as the best livinf types of
the man of the atone age.
The attitude of the Cingalese toward
them is remarkable. They hold the
poor creatures in great honor and rank
them as belonging to the highest cast
in the Island. The reason Is that they
are repated to have descended from
the ancient demons or spirits that
were the original possessors of the
Island.
These nomad hunting people never
leaving their forests living under
trees and In caves without knowl-
edge of pottery or any other art ex-
cept that of making bows and arrows
are perishing because of their way of
living and of their Inability to stand
up when stronger folk are pressing
closer around them. They are exact-
ly what they were centuries ago when
people of India came- and conquered
their green island.

Post. Charleston. S. C. June 11': In
Senator Core is promise of a man who
will show what brains can do among
the servants of the Interests and party
proselytes.
Journal. Shreveport. La. June 11:
"The senate lias frequently had a
a taste of Senator Core's wit during
the tariff debate. No one has punctured
more ruthlessly the shams and fallac-
ies of Senator Aldrieh and the stand-
patters. In a sharp give and take de-
bate no senator is his equal. Modest
studious keenly alert and faithful to
his principles he has never wavered
or been seduced from the true course
of honest tariff revision.
Senator Core though afflicted most
eadly has dune splendid service for
fcls state since he wet.t to congress.
He is an ornament to the senate and
are to be extended sympathy and con
dolence in advance.

INURED TO POVERTY AND TOIL.
Nativee of Shantung Province Live
Lives of Wretchedness.
Of Shantung province China a cor-
respondent writes: "A little more
than a generation ago one of the
greatest famines In the memory of
man spread devastation In the great
over-populated sections of the west of
this province and now famine faces
the stoical tollers of the land oncf
again. The Shantungese illustrate
well the law of the survival of the-
fittest for such dire poverty only per-
mlts the strong ones to live with the
result that we find sturdy men of great
endurance all oyer this province. Liv-
ing on the land which barely produces
sufficiency for Shantung's teeming
millions the people have become
hardy for they are hardened to all
kinds of privations. Their brains are
deadened by ceaseless toil and this
may account for the reputed backward-
ness of this province In progress along
commercial and Industrial lines. A
less long-suffering people would have
a revolution every year. It Is an
axiom with westerners that discon-
tent Is an absolute condition of prog-
ress and we who live among the
Chinese know there can hardly be a
race In the world so contented as they
are considering their lot. This is one
of the factors which makes the regen-
eration of China Buch an enormous
problem."
The Sickroom Bugbear.
The great bugbear of the sickroom
Is monotony. This is the problem that

ways and means to prevent. She may
do this in several ways. She m-'v

Patronize State Banks
There are two reasons why Oklahomans should do business
with State Banks.
FIRST Because a land owner can use his land as a basis of security and fc'
back his money wants with a low rate of interest.
SECOND Because the Oklahoma laws protect the depositor by a guarantee
which husbands his money while on deposit and makes the banks
contribute to a fund out of which in case of failure he is to be paid. fe''
