Rev Father McKeever, of the Church Of
st. Rose of Lima, at Roseyile, offered a
$25 gold medal to any one of the young
people of Bloomfield or Glen Ridge for the
best poem on the American flag or the
American Republic The judges selected
were Sister Teresa Gertrude, Mrs Charles
F. Harrison and Mrs Frank j. Goodwin,
and after examining hundreds of poems
they declared that the composition of Miss
Helen F. Morris. of Glen Ridge, was the
best. The poem is as follows:-
STARS AND STRIPES.
Fairand of heavenly birth and destiny,
Within whose bosom pulses, full and free,
The life-tide of thy people-Liberty;
Beneath whose shielding, all-enfoiding arm
Dwell every race and tongue secure from harm;
Who crowned with Peace and stice-throned
doth yield
Such righteous sway all hearts their homage
yield.
What peerless banners rich emblazonry
Our firesldes shall defend, from sea to sea?
To deeds of Yalor through fierce battlefront?
What ensign shall enwrap our heroes brave
Who give their lives for thee on land and wayei
No mortal mind, no human hand can frame
An emblem for Americas proud name;
But God hath set it in the evening sky,
When day is dying and pale night draws nigh
Across the sunset haze stretch crimson bars,
While high. in azure field, shine silver stars

THE REAL CAUSE OF WAR

There has been so much soldering
in the north over the cause of the
CIbans and making war on the score
Of benevOlence and sympathy that it
is a cheerful indication to find a paper
now and then that takes the COM
mercial view of it. That the north,
that made the war, for the south was
not favorable to it outside of revenge
for the Maine, did it more on business
grounds than in behalf of suffering
humanity is no doubt true. There
was a good amount of the sentiment
al rot INDUCED, as was the case over
the Armenians by European powers,
but there would have been no war if
the commerce of the north had not
been SO much interfered with by the
war raging in Cuba. 1t was the
pocket nerve that was struck. The
New York Times sensibly and frankly
says:
First of all we went to wal in our
own interest, to restore peace and
tranquility at home and to safeguard
them against the danger of repeated
interruption. That was, in fact, Onr
only strictly legal ground of interven-
ton, as The Times demonstrated be-
fore war was declared. But this was
a motive of self-interest. So viewed,
the war was not mainly a wal of hui
manlty, but a war to suppress an in
ternatiOnal nuisance that had become
intolerable and dangerous to our
selves. Self protection first"
The Messenger consistently insisted
that the one cause of war was not
se~ntimentality or materialism but
purely to punish the bloody and
t~reacherous Spaniards for their infer
nal work in their harbor in destroying
an American naval vessel, and MUIR
dering 266 Americans, resting under
the American flag in fancied security.
We never saw an hour when we would
have sent a southern company to fight
for the r~apscallians who disgrace the
very name Of soldiers for liberty. The
Times speaks words of soberness
when it says: 1T is we'll not to for
cause We ought not to let an admiring
world go unwarned Of it's mistake
when it praises us for wagging a pure
ly altruistic war"

Professor Charles E. Norton, is a
gifted professor in Harvard Univer-
sity. He is not much in love with
American character. Whether it is
the Down Easter" or the Western
Hoosier' or the internal s~outherner"
who moves his anger and evokes his
contempt we know not. Probably it
is a general dislike of all sorts and
conditions of Americans. He has
said:
Il feel, with Horace Walpole, that
I should be proud OF my country if it
were not for my cOuntrymen.
Is he really 50 much better than his
fellows? It would be interesting to
know what his "c~ountrymen" think of
him.. In the Richmond Dispatch there
appeared some stanzas addressed to
this conceited and superior mortal. It
rebuked him properly, pointing to the
| recent deeds performed in the pres
ent war. In the last stanza but one it
is said:
| Read how for conquered foes the vic
tors mellow grim defeat,
How grand nobility did there with
generous deeds compete;
Let these courageous acts of rescue
open to your ken,
| And, if you love your country, then
| you'll love your countrymen."

Major W. M. Robbins, ex-member
of United States house and a demo-
crat of real ability, recently delivered
an address at Gettysburg to a lot of
northern people. He stated plainly
the cause Of the south in the great
war. His remarks were in excellent
spirit, and while he did not cover the
entire ground what he said was in
teresting and convincing. He pre-
scented views that must have awaken
ed the attention Of his hearers for to
them they must have been novel,
however we'll known to southern men
who lived before and in the war. He
left thoughts with his northern friends
to be considered at their leisure.
Among these was the following:
Another point: In the convention
Of 1877 it was proposed to stop the
African slave trade Immediately upon
the adoption of the constitution and
the formation of the union but a sub
stitute proposition was carried to eX-
tend the African slave trade for twenty
years after the ratification of the con-
stitutiOn; so that this slave trade was
not forbidden and did not end until
June, 1903.
"By whose votes was this PROPOSE
ton carried to extend that horrid traf-
fc twenty years? My friends, it was
by the votes Of northern states. Only
South Carolina and Georgia voted for
it among the southern states. Della
ware, Maryland and Virginia voted
against it; North Carolina was evenly
divided and her vote was blank. The
votes hat was necessary to carry it
came from New England and the mid
die states. Glorious old Massachu-
setts alone, I believe, voted against it
in New England. This was a point of
history which came to our minds and
made us feel how unfair it was that
we should be denounced as we were on
account of African slavery"

HURRAH FOR SAM DAVIS.

At the meeting of the Carson Improve
ment Club, Judge Mack made little
talk. Charley Shortridge was present
and we presume the Judge wanted to
give him little taffy for he wound up
his remarks as follows:
We want good newspapers. There is
not real live newspaper in the State.
A newspaper like the Call used to be
under Shortridge, should exist here.
Then again the adjoining counties should
be all consolidated, with this beautiful
little city as the county seat. "You have
a chance to act next election and hope
you will do it wisely"
S. P. Davis made defense for the
newspapers. He claimed he furnished
as good newspaper as his paid up sub
scription list warranted. There was
vast difference in running District
court and newspaper. The judge got
his salary regularly but the editor had
to wait sometimes ten years for sub
scriptions to be paid. A newspaper in
Nevada was charity hospital. An old
time delinquent subscriber died leaving
a small estate wife and seven children.
A lawyer comes into the office and tells
the editor John is dead, and as he was
one of the boys he has not left much for
his family, economy must be practiced
in closing up his estate so the family
will have little to fall back upon. He
tells such tale of woe that the gullible
editor agrees to print all the legal notices
needed for charity and thus help save
Johns widow from the poor house. As
soon as the lawyer gets the estate into
his hands he takes everything, and the
widow, orphans and the editor are left.
You give the band free notice and they
blow mud at you in return. You adver
tise a church fair for nothing, the minis
ter is mad because you did not put up
two dollars beside. When you die, the
Judges, lawyers and ministers all declare
if the poor editor hadn't drank and
gambled and had so many bad habits he
would have left his family better provid
ed for. and The chances are they are glad
he is gone, because their unpaid sub
scriptions will not bother them any
more.
