"America First'
A new "America First"- creed is findiiiK widespread
popularity throughout the land as comprising a concept of
true Americanism. It is therefore a fitting contribution for
Memorial day, the day set apart to mourn for those who
apparently died in vain in the world war as well as for those
victims of the civil war whose deaths were not in vain.
This bit of altrustic eloquence was first uttered as a
peroration of a Mobilization Day sermon last year in the
National Cathedral at Washington by Bishop G. Aston Old
ham of the Albany diocese. It contrasts sharply the differ
ences between the promise with which we entered the world
war, and our performance after we had sacrificed the
flower of the nation's youth, on the battlefields of France,
when we played the world's Shylock instead of the world's
saviour.
The new creed, objectionable alike to isolationists and
militarists, seeks to restore the idealism and humanitarianism
which inspired our entry into a war to end war, and relegate
to the discard the profiteering commercialism that has
disgraced us since. It reads:
A.MEIUCA FIHST!
Not merely in matte nialerial, bill in thins of the bpiril.
Not merely in science, invention, motors iiml Hkyscrapcra, hul also
In ideals, principles, character.
Not merely in the calm asttertion of rlrjhts, hut In Ihe gkul iifttiilinp
tion of duties.
Not flaunting iier strength us a giant, hut henrlinj in helpfulness
Over a nick and wounded world like, u Good Samaritan.
Not in splendid isolation, hut in courageous cooperation.
Not in prifle, arrogance and disdain of other races and people
hut in sympathy, love and understanding.
Not In Ireading again tile old, worn, hloody palhway which ends
lnf.vilahly In (Jiaos and disaster, hut in hlazlng a new trail along
wli'ch, please (ind. other nations will follow into the new Jerusalem,
wh tro wars shall he no more.
:.ome day some nation must lake that pal h unless we are lo lapse
once again into utter iiariiurism and that honor 1 covet tor my
helovi'd AiAerlca.
And so In that spirit and Willi these hopes I say with all mv heart
nnd sou! America First!

A Winning Ticket
William J. Bryan, in his war ajrainst science and evolution
nas received powerful reinforcements in the support of
Wilbur Glen Voliva, overseer of Zion. As Voliva had already
preemptied the field, it would perhaps he more correct to
portray Bryan as coming to the assistance of Voliva.
Voliva has successfully routed the devil in the form of
evolution, from the schools of Zion City where the pupils
arc taught the bibical facts that the earth is flat and the
sun do move, like a swinging chandelier, over it. Text books
arc printed accordingly and are doubtless available both for
Bryan and Tennessee.
BVyan, in his search for an issue for the Democratic
party, will run true to form if he presents the Tennessee
anti-evolution law as the main plank for the 1028 national
platform. Here is an issue upon which he could go before
the country a fourth time and appeal as eloquently against
pressing tin? monkey upon the brow of man as he did
against cruicfyiiig mankind ujxm a cross of gold.
With Bryan and Voliva (or should it be Voliva and
Bryan?) upon such a platform, the Democrats at last would
have a ticket and an issue in keeping with their parly
nfi'in, an:' assured of the votes of hard-shelled Baptists,
r, ling Jlcl' odists, Zionists, fundamentalists, 100 per
rs, and Billy "f (unlays, bray themselves into office.

A TKMl'RST IN A TI'Al'OT
Tho Jordan)' yacht waa a beauti
ful thing; tus .Nathalie nnd I went
aboard it ut Miami, 1 couldu t Hell
remembering tho time when I had
irono over it with Nick, nnd on-
countered Mr. Jordan and the little
chorus fiirl. How wonderful It
waa that everything had changed,
and that he had realized that his
wife was far lovller than uny other
women he knew!
Nathalie had wanted to ask
some man for me, but I had urged
her not to; I wanted to get away
from people, and this was 11 won
derful opportunity. This trip to
Nassau was a very short one, and
we were to stay ut one of. tho ho
tels when we got there, just using
the yacht for .short cruises; I vfl
sorry that we were not to go off,
sailing through tropical . seas in
definitely. .
The Jordans had many friends
at the hotel, and there were one
or two girls there whom I had
known nt school, girls who had
not been particularly nice to me
then, but who Were almost too cot
dial now, when I was with the
wealthy Jordans. It amused mo to
hcc how they had changed.
JJeing with people like that al
most turns me Into a socialist, and
an unarchLst, and every other kind
of "ist" that feels that very rich
people ought to he made to share
what they have with the poor.
Here were those girls, with far too
much money, wasting It on a vain
pursuit of pleasure.
Tho days slipped by all too rap
idly. There wero wonderful tennis
courts, and the country club was
I got .so tanned that I looked
as if I'd been there for mouths, by
the end of our first week.
Somebody was organizing a big
costume ball and pageant for char
ity, unci Nathalie and I were swept
into it at once. The women who
was arranging it wasn't just sure
about me; she was very anxious to
have all tho socially prominent
people on the inland in it, and of
course I wa the Jordan's guest, so
I couldn't be overlooked; it wa
very funny to see her maneuver
ing around, trying to decide wlieth
er to ask mo to represent one of
the big countries like France In
the ".March of All Nations," or to
tuck me in as one of Norway's at
tendants or something like that!
She asked Nathalie to bo Britan
nia, and Nathalie said sho would,
and cabled to New York for a cos
tume. Then, the next day, I saun
tered down the veranda to find
Nathalie talking with n blonde,
rather pretty woman or rather,
tho woman was talking very earn
estly nnd Nathalie was listening,
with nn amused smile on her Hps.
"I think I should be Jhltan-
nia," she was saying as I joined
them. "You see, I've lived so
much in KnIand, and one of my
uncles on my mother's side wait
ittnched to the American embassy
there, and I've been presented at
court "
So has Mrs. Jordan," T mur
mured, but she tool; no notice of
me.
'Surely you ouyht to represent
England, then," Nathalie told her.
Yes, but Mrs. Willoughby feels
that you ought to do it; she told
near, where golf and polo were the me that she had already asked you
popular pastimes. Kverybody went to, and I explained mv position to
sailing and fishing and swimming! her. but she said she felt that it
would be more fitting for you to
do it and that you are already sent
for a costume; for that matter, t
could wear the costume, with just
a few alterations."
She went on nnd on, till finally
Nathalie told her that she would
go to Mrs. Willoughhy, who had
charge' of tho pageant, nnd ask
that the other woman be cast as
Ilritanula.
"Such a fuss about nothing!"
Nathalie said to me, as the wom
an went off down the veranda, per
fectly happy. "Iieally, society woin
en work harder than anyone else,
I believe, and with fewer results.
When I go back to New York I'm
going to lead tho simple life!"
I wondered how that would ap
peal to her husband. I knew that
he was nou- as much in love with
her as when they were first mar
ried, but with his taste for the
Oreat White "Way I wondered it
he'd ever settte down quietly to
the kind of life Nathalie wanted
to lend.
The discussion over who would
be Kritannia started a lot of
trouble; Mrs. Wlllmtghby was more
than ever determined that Nathalie
should take tho part, and tho
blonde woman was equally deter
mined that she would have it. Na
thalie's insisting that she didn't
want it, that she'd much rather
bo one of the handmaidens of Uel-
glum, didn't seem to make any dif
ference.
"Oh, let's get out of It all!"
Nathalie said at last, nnd her hus
band, who had been listening with
amusement to her protests, came
to the rescue.
"Let's go off In the yacht to Pill
Kwing's Island," he suggested. "Uo
bought one somewhere near here
a few years ago, and has built a
perfect palace on It. they tell me.
We'll drop in and call on him, nnd
if ho urges us, we'll slay awhile
with him."
Nathalie and I were delighted
with the plan, and the next day wo
sailed away, leaving the dispute
over rtritannia to settle Itself.
