the program. He said that our
flag was respected the world over
because of the strength of the ma
ton, and this strength was due to
the intelligence, virtue, high char
acter and indomitable will OF the
people. The United States was
inst now entering upon an era OF
development andexpansion almost
beyond the power of the imagina-
ton to conceive. The next CEN
tury would be distinguished by
the greater men and the greater
women controlling affairs than have
managed the government in its
past. The present struggle is Just
a stepping stone to the future
greatness of the already great
american republic. The largest
cloud he saw on the horizon was
the worship of the almighty dol
lar. He congratulated the nation
that the love of the flag was uni
yersal throughout the entire union.
Another rouslng three cheers for
the flag and the meeting closed
with the benebiction by Rev. u.

Mai. Scott's Lectures.

The ladies of the W. c. T. U. deserve
the thanks of the community for giving
the people of Rocky Ford an opportuni-
ty to hear the lectures OF Maj. Scott and
wife. Mai. Scott lectured at the Presby
terian church Friday evening. Mrs.
Scott spoke at the Baptist church Satur-
day evening, followed by the Major.
Sunday afternoon Mrs. Scott spoke Mt
the M. E. church and in the evening
Maj. Scott closed the series OF meetings
with an address of great force, power and
eloquence.
In one OF his addresses Maj. Scott
spoke OF the growth OF prohibition senti-
ment, instancing the fact that in Missis-
sippi, out of 76 counties only Is allow
the sale OF liquors. The disrepnte in
which the business OF liquor selling is
held was shown by the fact that all the
leading fraternal orders refuse to receive
saloon keepers or bar tenders as MEM
bers. In one Of the largest cities Of
Canada no saloon keeper or bar tender
can hold any municipal Office. The laws
Of Michigan make it an offense, punish
able by heavy fine, for any railroad
company to have an employe who uses
Intoxicating liquors when on or OF duty.
Whisky sold under high license was
shown to be as full of dsvilment as that
sold under low license, and he forcibly
and fully established the fact TINT no
amount Of revenue from the sale OF liq.
uors can compensate for the immeasura.
BILE damage inflicted The duty OF all
church members (and other good citi-
zens) to always work and vote against
the saloon was presented in way that
could not be answered.
Mai. Scott used strong language, but
when man is talking against the saloon
IL in difficult to be too radical.

both seen and heard last Saturday.
The fine pole had been raised the
day previous and Saturday after
noon all was in readiness for float
ing the stars and stripes to the
breeze. At four o'clock Chairman
Sigman called the meeting to or
der, and announced that the rais-
ing of the flag would be first on
the program, While George
Hammond slowly drew the banner
to the top of the staff Rocky Ford's
popular quartet. Messrs, Smith,
Adair, CLARK and Maltby, led the
crowd in singing our national
hymn. As the flag reached the
summit Rev. Mitchell started
"Three Cheers for Old Glory, /,
which were given with enthusiasm.
In the invocation Rev. Warren
Mayo asked Gods blessing ON our
nation when engaged in the pres
ent war for humanity, and prayed
that our country might ever be a
nation whose God was the Lord.
The Colorado battle song was
then sung by the quartet. "a
copy of this new and popular song,
peculiarly the property of the
Centennial state was published
in the Enterprise of jane End, be-
ing sung by the school children at
the close of their entertainment.)
Rev. b. L. Mitchell then made
the principal addressI of the1 day.
He spoke from the standpoint Of
patriotism and humanitarianism.
We are now all American citizens,
from the Atlantic to tile Pacific,
and true as one man to the flag.
The duty of the hour was to es-
tablish this flag over the regions
where the red-handed and dark
hearted Spaniards have ruled.
The situation demands patriotism
at home. 'Tis no time to shirk
duty or responsibility. The high
principles represented by the flag
call for everyone to stand nt his
post. He that ls not patriot
now should emigrate to some
other cline. This noble banner
not only floats over our heads but
the principles for which it stands
should be fixed in every heart.
The war seems to be going little
slow but there is wisdom in getting
ready and then striking as Dewey
did at Manila. For three years
Cuba has been pleading for free.
dom and brend. The Civil war
freed four million slaves, but the
present war is going to give free
dom to many more millions who
have for years been oppressed by
Spanish greed and cruelty. A
high tribute was paid to the Rev.
olutlonary heroes. The great
powers of Europe seek alliance
with the United States because of
our strength. Twill be better to
send the gospel to foreign lands
than to open our doors wide to all
immigrants who may wish to come.
The quartet then sang The Star
Spangled Banner.
