FLAT-BREAD IEGTE NORSK FLADBROD

A NUTRITIOUS, PALATABLE FOOD

A Perfect Blending of Food Cereals, Containing the Most Nourishing Elements. It Builds up

the Weak and Satisfies the Healthy.

FLAT-BREAD is the breakfast food on which were reared

the Norse Vikings of old, and

which nourished them in their

active life on land and sea. It is

still the "staff of life" of their

modern descendants, and by its results proves itself to be not

only a builder of brawn, but the king of brain foods as well.

See that your grocer keeps it. Put up in air-tight cartons con-

taining from 15 to 17 ounces net.

MANUFACTURED BY

Haugsrud-Markkanen Co. Wholesale Dealers in Produce and Groceries.

THE CALL WE HAVE AS A NATIONALITY TO

INTEREST OURSELVES IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS.

Address by Hon. H. T. Helgeson, at Valdris banquet. September 7, 1912.

The subject assigned to me by our Toastmaster is one

of so much importance to us, both as a Nationality and as

American citizens, that I cannot hope to do it justice in

the short time at my disposal on an occasion of this kind,

even though I were far better qualified to deal with it than

I am.

In order to determine whether or not we have a call as

a Nationality to interest ourselves in public of fairs, we

must first consider the character and general make-up of

the citizenship of this, our adopted country. The United

States differs from all the other great nations of the world mainly in the fact that its citizenship is made up of a

conglomeration of all the nationalities of the world. This

country is the great melting pot into which has been thrown

the products of civilization—the worst as well as the best

that is represented by the national characterstics of all

the peoples of the world. Because it is in its formative

period, this country has not yet developed a distinctively

American character, but when it finally is developed it will

be found to be a composite picture of the characteristics of

the people of all the other nations of the world. A com-

posite picture, as you probably know, is a photograph of a

number of persons so taken as to represent but one indivi-

dual whose face hears the imprint of the strongest charac-

teristics of each person represented. The character of the

composite picture is determined by the character of those

it represents, being improved by the noble countenances of

4(4 Z'ambaub

some, and may he marred by the vicious characteristics of

others. If then the American character, when finally developed,

is to be a composite picture representing in some degree the

various traits and characteristics of all the peoples of the

world, you can readily see what a tremendous responsibility

rests upon us as a nationality if we are to so conduct our-

selves as American citizens that only those ancestral traits

that make for beauty, harmony and strength are to leave

an indelible imprint upon the American character that is

to be. Constitutional Government is the greatest blessing con-

ferred upon the people in modern times, and Norway has furnished to the world more of the fundamental principles

upon which constitutional governments rest than any other

modern nation. The Magna Charta of England is now considered to be

the foundation upon which rest all constitutional govern-

ments today. Admitting this to be true, what is the origin

of that wonderful document ? The Magna Charta was

brought about by the Norman Barons, who dissatisfied with

the autocratic and arbitrary government of King John, met him in battle array at Runnymede, and there forced him

to sign a document prepared by these Norman Barons, and

which has ever since been known as the Magna Charta. Where then did the Norman Barons get the ideas that they

embodied in the Magna Charta, ideas so great that they

have ever since remained the fundamental law of the civi-lized world? Were these great principles conceived under

the inspiration of the moment ? No, a thousand times no !

Fundamental laws for the betterment of humanity are the

outgrowth of centuries of oppression, and the Norman

92o. 54, ,,Oftober 1912. 465

Barons, when they wrote the Magna Charta, but gave ex-

pression to the political principles that had been handed

down to them by their forefathers, who had practiced them,

in "The Little Country of the Midnight Sun" long cen-

turies before they were embodied in the now famous

"Magna Charta." For untold centuries Norway was divid-

ed into principalities governed by minor kings and earls.

These rulers had not sufficient wealth and power to main-

tain a standing army with which to enforce theire will, and.

they were therefore wholly dependent upon the good will of

of their subjects. This gave to the people an opportunity

to think and act for themselves and to take the initiative • in government at an earlier date than any other modern

people, and gradually moulded the sturdy character and in-

dependent spirit for which the Norwegians have always been noted. This also probably accounts for the fact that

in Norway was born and nurtured into a living force the

fundemental principles upon which all constitutional gov-

ernments are resting today. It was in Norway that the

people first declared that the king was the people's servant_ and not their master. That the people had rights that even

the king could not abridge. That no citizen could be de-

prived of life, liberty or property except by due process of

law and a verdict rendered by a jury of his peers. These

are among the principles that constitute the foundation of

all Constitutional governments, and to the Norwegians be-

longs the honor of having moulded them into a vital, living

f orce and given them to our modern world. The Norwegians, having long enjoyed the freedom, lib-

erty and justice dispensed by a government founded on

these principles, it was only natural that when the North-

men or "Norsemen" emigrated to England they should'

466 Z-ambanb

carry with them their ideas of government. It was from

this source that their descendents, the Norman Barons, got

the ideas that they finally embodied in the now famous

Magna Charta.

It was the political doctrines taught by the Magna

Charta and practiced under its protection that inspired our

Pilgrim Fathers with the idea of going to a New World

and there creating a new government in which these prin-

ciples could be enlarged upon and worked out in detail, and

this finally led to the Declaration of Independence, the War

of the Revolution, and the adoption of our Constitution.

It is, therefore, not difficult for an unprejudiced student •

to trace directly hack to Norway the responsibility of hav-

ing planted and nurtured the political seeds that finally

became transplanted to the shores of America, and there

grew and developed into the greatest and most glorious

republic the world has ever seen. But, wonderful as has

been the progress of mankind under the constitutional gov-

ernments of today, they do not represent the possibilities of

the influence traceable to the seeds first planted and nur-

tured in the 'Little Country of the Midnight Sun," for they

will multiply, spread and improve under proper care

and cultivation until every individual in all the world will

be an uncrowned monarch, paying tribute to no one either

politically or industrially. To bring this about the pressent

generation cannot rest on the laurels won by a noble and

heroic ancestry, but must assert their manhood and exercise

those qualities and actively support the principles that make

for the betterment of humanity, and in order to do this we

must jealously guard and develop the national character

found, be it on the beautiful shores of their native land or

as citizens of an adopted country. As citizens of this, the greatest republic the world has

ever known, it becomes our duty, not only to be law-abid-

ing citizens, but patriotically and conscientiously so help to

shape the future of this government, that the high ideals

developed and contended for by our ancestors shall here

come to full fruition.

In order to do this we must not content ourselves with

living a care-free life of selfish ease and luxury, but we

must conscientiously assume our duties and responsibilities

as citizens of a republic, and earnestly and actively support

every movement that has for its object the maintenance of

the principles upon which depends "a government of the people, by the people and for the people." In reading the

history of the world, you will find that many great govern-

ments have passed out of existence because they violated

the fundamental principles upon which depend the "rights

of man." Chaldea and Egypt, Rome and Greece did not

pass out of existence for want of intelligence or because

they did not have men of great mental power, but because

they permitted the concentration of wealth and power in

the hands of a few, and these few lived a life of luxury,

ease, and indolence that breeds vice and contempt for the

masses, while the masses suffered from the unjust taxation

that supported the "special privilege class." This resulted

in a disintegration of national character and patriotism and

in disregard for law, which led to destructive revolutions.

History has repeated itself as often as like conditions have

prevailed, and it is safe to say that it always will. This

being true, it behooves us, in whose veins runs Viking

blood, to jealously guard the fundamental principles upon

468

Sambanb

which depend our personal rights and the freedom and

liberty of the common people. Never in our nation's history

has our government faced a more critical period than con-

fronts it today, and never has there been greater need of

unselfish, patriotic devotion to the principles that make

for the uplift of humanity than there is at this time. We

are now confronted by an oligarchy of wealth and power

that assumes the right to dictate the policy of our govern-

ment. Their object seems to be to shape legislation, influ-

ence courts and mould public sentiment, so that there may

legally be a concentration of wealth, and power in the hands

of a few. At the risk of seeming out of place on an oc-

,casion of this kind, I want to sound a note of warning and

to urge upon you the necessity of being true to the stur:ly

Norwegian character, that never has bowed the knee to

the governing classes that have assumed the right to govern

the people in the interest of their own selfish schemes. They

modern trusts and monopolies embody the same principles

that prevailed under the feudal system of the Old World

—the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of

the few, and the rights of property to be considered more

sacred than the rights of man, with the governing classes

becoming more and more indifferent to the rights of the

people. This can have but one result, the disintegration of

the character and patriotism of our people and a disregard

for law that will endanger the very perpetuity of our gov-

ernment. At at time like this, it seems to me that we should,

if we wish to be worthy of our ancestry, take a firm stand

against the encroachments of wealth and power, and enlist

in a battle for the perpetuation of the fundamental prin-

ciples for which our ancestor have fought for centuries.

Do not allow yourselves to be lullel to sleep by the

No. 54, Crtober 1912. 469

:Siren song that because we are prosperous we should be

contented. It would be a disgraceful lowering of the stan-

dards and ideals so long contended for by our ancestors,

if we should content ourselves with living for the sole

purpose of accumulating a little material wealth, forgetting

and ignoring the great principles upon which depend the

real uplift of the human race. Under the present tendency

of our complex industrial system, it is as much a patriotic

duty to enlist in the peaceful war that is necessary to curb

the cruel greed and avarice of the powerful organizations,

that are battling for supremacy in both the financial and

political world, as it ever was for our ancestors to wage a

military war against the encroachments of the concentrated

power of wealth and class privileges in their day. As a

people, the Norwegians have always stood for civic right-

eousness and the rights, interests and opportunities of the

individual citizen, which can only be guaranteed by political

and industrial freedom and liberty ; and if we are to be

worthy descendents of such a people, we must, as patriotic

citizens, jealously guard against the selfish and greedy

encroachments of wealth upon both our political and indus-

trial system; for under modern conditions the individual

citizen is as dependent on a fair field in the industrial world

as were the people under the feudal system of the old

world upon the ownership and control of the land. As 'a

people, the Norwegians have nothing to boast of except the

sturdy unyielding national character that has always stood

for civic righteousness and political freedom and liberty

and the broad principles that make for the "Brotherhood

of Man." Such a national character is the greatest asset

of any people..

As citizens of this, the greatest nation in the world,

whose government bears the indelible imprint of efforts

put forth by our Norwegian ancestors in behalf of civiliza-

tion, do we not have a call as a Nationality to interest our-selves in public of fairs?

It is no credit to us to be descended from such a noble

ancestry, unless we show by the interest we take in public

affairs and the influence we wield in the struggle that is

going on for the uplift of humanity, that we are at least

keeping at high water mark the ideals and principles for

which our ancestors have fought for centuries. Then, and

then alone, can we feel that we have done our full duty as

American citizens. Then, and then alone, can it be truly

said that we are worthy descendents of our Viking ancestry,

and that we have perpetuated their influence for the gene-

ral uplift of humanity and the betterment of mankind.

Horace Greeley, beginning life as a poor boy, gradually

climbed the ladder of wealth and fame until he was known

as the greatest journalist of the world, and one of the ableFt

and most patriotic statesmen of his day, and after all the

varied experiences of a long and successful life, he said

upon his deathbed, that "Fame is a vapor ; popularity an

accident; riches take wings;. those who cheer today may

curse tomorrow; there is nothing enduring but character."

I wish I had it in my power to print this great truth

indelibly upon the minds of our people, particularly upon

the minds of our boys and girls.

Let me then, appeal to you so to live and so educate

your children that they will, by becoming character builders

both in private and public life, be not only loyal American

citizens, but worthy representatives of "The Little Country

of the Midnight Sun."

DEN KATOLSKE FARE. Bogen om Gustav Adolf og Trediveaarskrigen og den

Norwegian - American. Et norsk-amerikansk nyhetsblad i det engelske sprog,

tilegnet den opvoksende slegt. Bladet indeholder nyheter af smrinteresse for de nor-

ske i Amerika. Dets opgave er at vedligholde blandt Nor-ges udvandrede 4:inner og dare og deres ban en interes-se for det store og gode i deres forfmdres kultur.

Statistiske undersOkelser i Minneapolis viser at de skandinaviske folk taper sig bort i det amerikanske folk hurtigere end nogen anden indvandrende nation.

Medens denne folkeblanding gaar for sig, skal vi til-lade al interesse for fmdrelandet at utd0? Eller skal vi, som normannerne i Frankrige, smtte vort stempel paa dette lands historie?

Senator Swanson, av Virginia, som er af svensk af-stamning, liar endnu en varm forkjmrlighet for det sven-ske folk, endskjOnt hans formldre kom til dette land for omtrent 300 aar tilbage.

Skal yore bans hjerter slaa varmt for vort gamle fm-dreland i de kommende tider, saa maa vi ikke lade deres interesse utd0 med deres kjendskap til det norske sprog. Ved at vedligholde yore bans interesse i det norske folk kan vi ogsaa haape at vedligholde deres kjendskap til det norske sprog.

Det er ad denne vei at "Norwegian-American" arbeider. Der er en mmngde unge folk som nu lmser bladet med staste interesse. Dine ban vii gjOre det samme. Prdv og se! Skriv efter frit prOvenummer. Dept. C. Mohn Printing Co., Northfield, Minn.
