during the great revolutionary contest
her inhabitants were not jostled by the
| great number of people from other
! states, ard her men proved themselves
as courageous as ambitious. Rodney
Mckay and all such great men could
always be looked up to in trial, and they
We're never wanting, but always ready
to sign their names to the truth; ia
| years ago, the time came when our
forefathers oppressed aud almost smoth
cred with taxation, made declaration
casting aside all party alliances, personal

The simple name Of re public will not
make 1t immortal and save us, but the
same causes that have brought disaster

nouuced their rulers for cutting off our
trade with all parts of the world, aud

we have other means Of opening com

The words task and tax are singularly
related to each other. 1t does REQUIRE
money exertion and thought to support a
government, and 1t can not be supported
on air, but mans money should not be
taken from him except for his own benefit

intend this government of ours to become
an agency 20 take one mans money, and
| Indirectly put 1t in another mans pocket.
The one important thing that our consti-
tuition forcibly opposes is giving property
any voice in making the laws Of
this nation. BY taking money from the
people, poor and rich in this worlds
goods, several foreign countries are now
shaking and tottering on the eve OF
terrible revolutions You must sustain
yourselves and your government, but
the views Of Rodney, Mckay, Read and
Washington must never be prostituded
by any selfish individual for his own
profit
Ia the course Of his remarks the
speaker paid high tribute to another
brilliant man who will take hand in the
affairs Of this country, the young cadet,
who graduated with such high honors at
West Point last month. Chairman
Lghtner introduced Senator George
Gray, who made neat little speech, con
Guiding with the saying, "On all
patriotic occasions one Ameri-
can orator Is sufficient for
one American audience The Choral So
ciety sang "Tbe Star Spangled BAN

the gentlemen on the platform as we'll as
the whole audience broke forth in storms
Of applause, and Conductor Hermann re-
csived many congratulations The exer-

Of the home players were listless, and
their playing was tiresome throughout.
II seemed impossible to get runner away
from third. The pitching Of Mccoy and
all-round playing of Tuttle, for Thurlow,
was superb as was also Fry's second base
