THK AMERICAN PEOPLE GREATEST OX EARTH There are three great countries in tke world, in size and numbers— America, Russia and China. There arv many great countries, in civiliza tion and power—England, Germany, France, America, Japan and the rest. But there is only one which, with ate, numbers, civilization and power, combines also the vital quality of unity, remarks a California exchange. We have the most scattered and di versified population in the world, jet we are more alike than any other people in the world. We all speak the same language, wear the same clothes and have the same manners, customs and Ideals, In Central Eu- rope, within a day’s walk, you can pass through three different lan- (sages, civilizations and forms of government. Even in Russia the spo- ken language of the people varies so much every hundred or two miles, that they cannot understand each other. The common native of any part of Russia is practically a foreign erin any other part. And the native of any province of China finds the spoken language of any other part to tally unintelligible. ' There can be no real national sentiment among such people. They cannot understand each other, neither their languages, their thoughts nor their sentiments. The one most remarkable fact about our country is its exact reversal e! ail taesy conditions. Here the pe culiarities of dialect and pronuncia tion are so slight that It takes an ex- p°rt to tell from his speech from what part of the country a man comes. Wbatev* is fashion in New York in tlotres is fashion in New Orleans, San Francisco, Minneapolis and Port- lind. We have a uniform education al ryutem, uniform business and so cial customs, uniform personal and public s andards, common ideals, principles and subjects of conversa tion. W. are thereby the one great People on earth held together in uni ty which no political or military acci dent could disrupt.
