By going down yesterday before the
Cleveland men the Senators suffered their
eighth successive defeat. The rain storm
early in the afternoon prevented the dou
!le-header, but despite the fact that the
grounds We're somewhat heavy, it was de-
cided to play the regularly scheduled game,
and the smallest attendance seen on the
grounds this season witnessed it. While it
was a perfectly played contest, not an er-
ror being charged up against a man on
either side, it was far from interesting, it
soon becoming apparent that the Washing
ton people could not connect successfully
with the ball as pitched by Wilson. 1t is
true that the Senators obtained eleven hits
off the Cleveland man. two less than their
opponents got Off Swain and Weyhing. but
they failed to make them when they were
most needed. Reitz was particularly par
tial to Wilson's pitching, getting four sim
giles out of as many times at the bat, yet
he failed to score run, although he sent
in both of the runs scored by his comrades.
Cy Swain opened the game for the SEN
atorS, but after he had been hit for three
singles and had given pass in the first
inning, two runs resulting, and had failed
to prevent Burkett from safely bunting in
the next inning. Gus weighing took possess
sion of the rubber in the third inning. The

one man. Wilson pitched a remarkably
steady game. giving but one pass, and be-

The Senators took the first turn at the

grounder to Childs to first, went to third
on McGuire,s single to left, and scored on
Reitz's single to right In their half the
visitors sent two men across the plate.
BuIkett received pass, and, after Childs
had fouled to Mcclure, reached third on
Mckeans single to right, and went home
on Tebeaus out at first. McAleers single
to center sent Mclean in. In the fourth
inning the Cleveland push scored four runs.
Burkett singled to center, Childs scratch

he went home on McKeans single to left.

There Is only one true definition of patri-

willingly made and borne for that which
is right. Thus every one who thus
fought for liberty and against slavery in
the Civil war was a patriot. Therefore
while we keep fresh in our memories
their deeds of valor, we also should keep
in mind that they were patriots, and we
should emulate them because they were
on the side of right. In this manner we
can use the lessons of the past to

qualification, or for territorial expansion,
or for selfish aggrandizement or enrich
ment. No, not at all; but to relieve the
oppressed and let the captive 60 free. To
extend the blessings OF liberty in the
earth. To lift up an oppressed people
who live at our very doors. In all the
history of our nation we have never
waged war except for the enlargement
of this great principle. Spain has ever
been noted for her ignorance and super
stitioR. Cruelty and oppression mark
her path during the more than four GEN.
turtles of her existence as nation.
In her very sports the element of brut-
ish cruelty is predominant. Venality and
corruption is q prominent feature of her
rule; and her most efficient weapons
have been and are falsehood, the cup o.
poison, and the assassin's dagger. Self
ish, arrogant, proud, cowardly, she op-
presses and robs the weak, and cringes
before the strong. Her bravery now
shown, is the despairing struggle of a
desperate nation whose prestige is gone,
and who hopes the hatred of tyranny
toward liberty will bring to her assist
ance the help of those whose strength
and courage have been proven.

same split sctuates the people OF the
United States; and the same great prin-
ciple moves them now as that of the past,
The principle that the oppressed have the
right to throw off the yoke Of the oppres-
sor. It is the spirit Of 1916 and the prin-

the present and future. Does this bring
additional area of territory and increase
Of heterogeneous population for US to
care for, and thus add to our national
responsibility? What of it? So did the
Louisiana purchase; the Florida pur-
chase; the Alaska purchase. So did the
Mexican war. We have utilized, assimi-
lated and governed all these; and when
some Of them were irst taken they were
farther away and less known than Man
lila is to day.
We have added to our territory and
held it all, until we have grown from 10

zon Of this hemisphere to a
MIGHTY CONSTELLATION OF 45 STARS
Of the first magnitude, that belt the
heaven of nations from ocean to ocear,
from lakes to gulf, from the frozen
North to the salubrious and torrid South.
From colonial dependence we have be-
come an empire of freedom. We have
arisen from kingly rule to the sovereign
ty Of the whole people. From an area
of little more than 800 900 square miles
to an area of over 2,742, 900 square miles
From population of 100000 people to
population of 70 900 .O00
All this is that we may be felt as
power for liberty of conscience toward
God and liberty Of action toward our
fellow-men, among the nations of the
world. Let as then fail not to keep in
memory those who in the past gave
their lives so freely and willingly, to
found and perpetuate this great nation
and bring forth to the world more clear,
bright and beautiful, the sublime spirit
that actuated them, and the grand, great
and noble principle for which they
fought. That spirit still moves in the
true American heart, and that principle
is still marching on; yea and will march
on, until the wounds of the broken
hearted are bound mp, the captives of
tyranny liberated, the prison doors of
oppression are opened, the mourning

thought and desire of men as never be-
fore.
1t seems to me as 1 look back over the
events of national life from 1920 to 1860
that when the bloody strife came, it was
not the North against the South, but
liberty against oppression. Life in the
pursuit OF liberty and happiness, against
life under the oppression Of bondage and
degradation.
1t was not actually section against sec
ton, though that might in the heat of
the struggle appeared to be; but it was
principle against principle; idea against
idea, But right principle, right idea,
won the victory In this case; and the
blessings have been such that both con-
testants have great reason to thank the
great Ruler of nations for the issues OF
the conflict. How meet then that we
should once in every year at the opening
life OF the spring-time remember with
grateful hearts In memorial service those
who gave their lives so freely, that the
holy principle of liberty might live to
bless the coming ages to that end we
should not fail to follow the lessons
they by their sacrifice taught as. We
will revere them; we will praise them !;
we will honor them. Not because they
were our kin; not because they were on
our side; but because they were 90 the
right side, the side Of God, of liberty, of
humanity, On the side of God, because
He Is the author of freedom and opposed
to all oppression. He gave His only Son
TO die that man might be free from the

On the side of liberty, because they
fought to make men free; while their
antagonists fought to make men slaves.
On the side Of humanity, because hui

ness.
It has been said that the Federals

they would have been the patriots.

John at Runnymede, only enlarged by

resented by the Barons, only increased
in strength by the sacrifices made and
the blood shed to nurture it from 1920 to
1860. 1t had meanwhile been baptized
from Heaven by the blood and suffering
of Puritan and Pilgrim; who by their
losses in England, their poverty in Hol-

of the new world, and their blood shed
in the struggle of the colonies amid the
birth throes of l776-83, when the United
States of America was brought forth as
one among the atiCns of the earth, had
made ethis principle pure and holy.
From this on to 1920 this idea of liberty

principle sprang forth into new life and
