"The Gorman philosophy of brute force must be banished. ban-ished. There must be no divided love as regards our country. The priceless heritage of freedom which has come to us must be handed on to our children. The bloated, diseased and monstrous thing known as the German imperial government must be treated as we would treat a case of leprosy. It must be confined to its own area. To allow it to overrun the earth would be to invite in-vite moral death. "We have abused the privileges of our own blessed government. There has been inefficiency and some injustice, there is no denying that, but if this generation allows our God-given constitution con-stitution and our Declaration of Independence Inde-pendence to be abridged or contaminated contaminat-ed by German influence American citizens will never cease to blush with shame. No matter what the price is, of life or death, we must pav it. And 1 think we will pay it gladl'v. "The teachers should saturate Ihe minds of the young with love of conn- try an.l wilh detestation of the abnormal abnor-mal and diseased philosophy of Germany. Ger-many. The young must grow' up to love truth and to hale evil.'" 1 |
