American
Principles
and Ideals

It has been said that patriotism
must be an Intelligent patriotism;
there is much that passes for it that ,
is not Intelligent, and some that falls
within Dr. Johnson's definition: "Pa- ,
trlotism is the last refuge of a scoun
drel.” Nothing is easier than to be i
patriotic when it Is »imply a question
of going with the crowd. But more
than this Is required—disinterested I
service, a full discharge of the duties i
of citizenship (even to the honest pay
ing of taxes), Independence and cour
age in the exercise of the right to vote,
obedience to the law, etc. There must
be service by outward act and deed. ,
and not mere lip service, asserts a
writer In the Indianapolis News. But
service Implies knowledge. The apostle
said:
“For the which cause I also suffer
these things: nevertheless I am not
ashamed: for I know whom I have be
lieved, and am persuaded that he Is
able to keep that which I have com
mitted unto him against that day.”
“I know whom I have believed.”
One who believes In America must
know America, and the more one
knows her the more Intense will be
one's faith and the more devoted one's
service. America, after all, Is nothing
more than the people who call them
selves Americans, for Ideas and ideals
do not merely float in the air—they
are Incarnated In men and women,
and by men and women they are ap
plied to life. Principles are of no
value till they are acted on, and they
must be acted on by people.
The
memories and traditions of which
something has been said all attach to
people, and the history of the coun
try which Is a part of It today was
made by people. It is Into the labors
of very real people that we of the |
present time have entered. The prob
lem, therefore, Is one of keeping
Americans true, not solely to the flag,
but to the flag as the symbol of a great
national life. Into that life it Is nec
essary to enter, in It men must share.
The more complete their participation
the greater will be their love of their
country—and their love of It for what
It really is, and of all that it stands ,i
for. A patriotism thus enlightened
and Inspired will, as has been said,
be close of kin to religion.
Preserve Faith and Hope.
It Is not boasting to magnify one's
blessings, or to dwell lovingly and
proudly ou the priiMtiples and ideub
which are American, n is necessary
Indeed to do this, since there are some
unhappy souls who see nothing good
in America, and who are even yet look
ing to Russia for inspiration and sal
vation. Nothing can be done with or
for such, but it may be possible to
prevent others from being led astray
through Ignorance of what America
truly is. The American i>eople have
been Impervious to the incursions of
Bolshevism, not because they are dull
and stupid, but rather because they
are satisfied, and have reason to be.
They know their America well enough
to know that there Is no country In
the world In which opportunity is more
freely offered, none which comes so
near being the country of the average
man.
Many Things to L«am.
On the nation's birthday, therefore,
the American people should pledge
themselves to greater devotion to
American ideate, to more loyal and un
selfish service, and to stricter conform
Ity to those great principles which lie
at the basis of the nation's life. There
1» gres* need for education ."nee much
of the failure to appreciate this coun
try Is due to a pitiable Ignorance of
Its history, its Institutions, and of ail
that America has throughout Its life
stood for. And thia ignorance Is often
the densest In the minds of those who
think of themselves as reformers, and
who Indeed are allowed to pose as
such. Men need to be very sure that
they know what liberty, as won by
people of the Anglican race. Is, and
what are Its safeguards. It Is partic
ularly necessary that they should un
derstand the right of minorities, and
should realise that there Is such a
thing as the despotism of majorities.
There are some things that a vote of
the majority cannot be allowed to
sanction, as our constitution recog
nizes. Perhaps this is one of the most
Important lessons to be learned, as It
seems to be the most difficult to Kring
home to men. The very restraints of
which the uninformed so often com
plain have no other purpose than to
protect the helpless against the Strong.
And this is a part of Americanism. S<

A Score of Years of Remarkable Achievement!
In commemoration of the Company’s Twentieth Year in
business, plans have been completed to open more than 50
new stores this Fall.
We naturally feel proud of this achievement of a score
of years but we fully appreciate that its accomplishment was
made postible only by the hearty support accorded us by our
legion of friends. For your part, we heartily thank you.

patronage.
The success of the J. C. Penney Company constitutes an
important chapter in the history of mercantile achievement in
the United States.
Founded in 1902 its one store did a gross business that
year of $28,898.11. Twenty years later, in 1921, the number
of stores had grown to 312, scattered thruout 27 States, and
the gross business had attained the colossal figures* of
$46,643,928.20.
This great expansion was not the result of luck — it
did not just happen — but was the outcome of an earnest and
conscientious effort in the interests of the public this Company
has so faithfully served,
