80 THE ROMANCE OF EVERIFARM 



"But recently we have seen our friend whirling a 

 mile high in a great airplane, looking down on us 

 as the eagles did during the time when the Indians 

 were in peaceable control and possession of all this 

 country, and I wonder what can possibly happen 

 during the next century to equal the great events of 

 the past. 



"However, young fellow, I really believe you are 

 living in the golden age; that the days of great 

 opportunity are just ahead; that the wonders of 

 the past century will be insignificant in comparison 

 to what we shall see during the next, and just be- 

 cause you have been planted to represent a boy who 

 fought to make the world better, that spirit, that 

 Right shall triumph over Might, will make this 

 nation a God-fearing nation of happiness and pros- 

 perity, the greatest nation on earth."
