The following is Mis# Dennis'
pa per:
A mer icanisrn.
"America means opportunity." |
She offers the greatest chances for
material prosperity, she has the best J
la* >, the most desirable national in-j
stilutions and the freest and most in- '
dependent citizens of any country in
the world. It is the aim of the citi-!
z?ns of America to keep it free and
good, to make it the best country in
the world. Mai. say that it is now
that way, and we who are living todaywant
to keep it that way, and if possible
make it better. W'e want to bias
good citizens as the Pilgrrm fathers ,
were, so that we may set a good ex - '
ample for others , and so that we can
raise the standards of living in our
country. Among the last words, of
President Roosevelt were these; "We'
have room in our hearts for but one
^P-Oul of loyalty and that is loyalty to
the American people." Americanism
makos us loyal to America first.
If we are to be loyal citizens of
America we must be intelligent citi-'
/.ens. We must know something'
about the world in which we live; I
something of other lands. We must
know about our products, about "our!
export and our import, about what!
we hgve shown ourselves able to do!
in the past. We must be educated
and morally trained. The Americanization
committee of Cincinnati says:|
A good citizen is one who observes
all national, state, and municipal laws
and is willing to assist in their enforcement;
he is honest and fearless;!
he is loyal to home, friends and coun-:
ty, and he does what he can to assist |
in promoting the moral, physical, and '
intellectual welfare of the people. "A ;
great nation is made only by worthy '
citizens." W hen one becomes a citi-!
zeu of America or possesses citizen-i
ship, it does not mean alone that he1
shall be obedient, shall be kindly to
his neighbors, shall regard the right?
of others, perform his duty as juror;
shall, if the hour of peril comes,
yield his time, his property, and his
life to his country. It means more
than that. It means (hat his country
shall guarantee to him and protect
him in every right which the constitution
gives him.
To the loyal American citizen
wandering in a foreign land, no sight
is more welcome or more heart-stirring
that the sight of "dear old
America." We all know that with
'Kir country' being the strongest,
richest, freest, and happiest of all
nations on earth there are bound to
he foreigners from all other surroundng
countries of the world coming*"to
America every day. Therefore Amen-'
eanism is endangered to some extent.!
: These foreigners from countries afar:
come to America uneducated and ig- j
norant of our laws, and of our peaceful
way of living, then this will cause
viouble. This shows that every nation
should cultivate peace and knowledge
with all other nations, so that if we
should like to become a citizen of
another country we would know their
customs and laws, and would know
how to act in order to become an ideal
citizen. Woodrow Wilson said, "This
is the only country in the world which
experiences constant and repeated
birth, and that our country is constantly
drinking strength out of new
sources by the voluntary association
with it of great bodies of strong
men and women of other lands." He i
l-o said, that humanity could be !
welded together only by love. by'
s\ m pa thy, by justice, not by jealousy!
sod hatred and that America was!
sions which left and not by the passions
which separate and debase.
The law of American life is the law
of work; not the law of idleness, selfn'ulgence
or pleasure. It is a disgrace
for any American not to do his
duty, hut it is a double, a triple disgrace
for a man of means or a man of
"duration, as most Americans, are not
to do his duty. Every United States
citizen who reaches the age of 21
years, knows that it is a part of his
duty to vote; to serve on juries, and
that he should always perform these
duties. He should be acquainted with
all natiolal organizations and
should Co-operate with them. The
American Red Cross Society, is an
organization, whose aim is to he a
service to mankind. The American
Legion, whose aim is to serve "God
and country." He should also be
acquainted with the political organizations
of his party, and should aim to
make it a party of honest principle*.
, Th<* only work worth doing is done
by men and women who learn not
to shirk from difficulties, but to face
them and overcome them.
In order for us ft* American citizens,
to keep Americanism up to the
desired standard of living, W0 must
work with increasing effort toward
the betterment for our conditions,
This is the law of nature, and we
must, abide by it if the race is to
progress, and wo are to have the
greatest happiness here in America.
We should all want to be able to
say?and feel?what Daniel Webster
said, "I was born an American, I will
live an American and I shall die an
American."

i Warning of the unending eruption
i registered by d.he seismograph
f the observatory at the crater rim,
ahich record four slight tremors
of the earth in the two hours preced.r.g
last midnight.
An earthquake at Hilo, 30 miles
from tne volcano, awoke a few resi'lents
at 3:21 a. m.f and they gazed
upon a beautiful but aweinspiring
sight.
Pour huge fountains of fire, 124
feet high, were spouting upon the
lofty slopes, and from the fire pit
ran tr.ree rivers of lava, forming a
blazing lake of rock 1,000 feet across.
( row<i.s that rushed toward the
pti to wateh the display were driven
back by bursts of sulphur fumes,
<iust and sand.
A tremor, accompanied by rumb..
g sounds, at 12:30 a. rn., a sure
r.dication of activity in the pit, forewarned
watchers at the observatory
*at lava was jn motion underground.
Kruptions began within 30 minutes."
buring the morning two fountains
of fiery rock formed big cones at
the base of the deep pit. A small
peninsula between them was still unlove
red.
It. M. Wilson, volcanologist in
charge of the observatory, estimated
the depth of lava at other places in
the pit to be from 50 to 75 feet. The
volcano was bestirring itself vigorously,
spouting flame and steam from the
boiling lava.
Several times Pele has sent streams
of molten rock toward the sea, burning
forests and turning the land to
desert. The chief eruptions within
a decade took place in 1017, 1919 and
1021.
Kiiauea, largest active volcano in
the world, has a main crater eight
miles around and 600 feet in depth.
It is on a slope of Mauna Loa, a
volcano, 13,675 feet high, which erupted
in May last year.
I he region about its base is sparsely
settled, much of it made desert
by ancient and modern lava flows.
I hree cones were erupting lava in
the crater today and a lake estimated
to be fully 100 acres in extent had
formed on the floor of the Halcmaumau
pit.
Hundreds of spectators, attracted
by the display of nature's fireworks,
flocked to the crater.
