tinted the rainbow and gilded the gold
en- sun and silver moon, ever preserve
and protect US as a nation.
| Now for another confession am re-
publican and gold bug, bu: wish /
wish had the eloquence Of a William
Jennings Bryan for a few moments. /
would not cruelty you on a cross Of gold
nor attempt to prove that 16 to l was a
panacea for all your ills, but / would
be able then at least to my own salts
| faction to present to you some OF the
beau ties and benefits Of the graDdest
secret social order ever devised TO bless
/ and protect the CauCasians Of this COun-
try, the Regents of the White Shield,
the crown jewel OF all ancient and mod
ern fraternal orders.
Ancient mythology tells us that
minerva sprang fully equipped for
from the brain of Jupiter" The Re-
gents Of the White Shield sprang from
the brain Of American soldiers, who had
crossed swords upon many battlefield
of civil war, but who are now, thank
God, bound together by bonds welded in
the fire of battle, and stronger than all
save that of parent wife, and child.
Our principles are patriotism, philan-
thropy, and protection. AS patriots we
have taken a solemn obligatiod, pledg
ing to each other our lives, our futures,
and our sacred honor to defend our
country and flag against all foreign or
domestic foes.
AS philanthropists we would bring
about amiCable relations between Capi-
tai and labor, foster and protect our
public schools, regulate immigration in
the interest Of good government, de-
throne monOpOlies, and If needs be,
make our women not only the queens
OF our hearts but queens of the caucus.
AS proteCtiOnistS we have registered
a solemn vow in heaven that our wom-
en-, God bless them, shall be forever
safe in their person and property where
ever our starry banner waves
We are nOn-political, non-sectarian,
and non-sectional. We are democrat
/, iC, republican, populite combine, with
Protestant Catholic, and jewish Varia-
tiOns.
As Democrats we say as did Governor
p Dix, Of Maryland: 'If anyman attempts
to pull down our flag, shoot him on the
spot" For him who would blot star

will DO too indignant for his forgive
ness, time too short for his repentance,
and the woe of the damned too merciful
for the punishment Of his crime Let
such one perish that his name may
not be left to blister the pages of histo-
ry.
| AS Republicans we say that charity
must begin at home, that Labor should
no longer fear reduction, nor Capital
strike. That as long as God reigns
t and patriotic white men rule our coun-
try will be safe.
AS popuIites we stand in the middle
of the road with our faces to our coun-
Urys foes, ever ready to strike for our
7 altars and our fires, for the green graves
a Of our sires, God and our native land. -
And we all as Christian patriots can
join in the refrain:
MEN of Caucasion birth,
+ Regents of all the earth,
4 United stand
Sharing each others cares,
Shielding our women fair,
BE this our daily prayer,
IS God bless our land"
