Washington's Birthday Anniversary.

Wednesday last was observed
throughout the country as the an
~nlversary Of the birth Of George
Washington-"hrst in war, first in
peace and first in the hearts OF his
countrymen.' Old Glory 1oated
from a thousand school houses
and orators dwelt upon the viz
tues, the mission and glorious
achievements Of the man who
The Black Hills union. [volume] (Rapid City, Pennington County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1889-1904, 1899-02-24

rightfully earned for himself the
great title, 'father of his country"
Millions of voices joined in one
grand chorus and the strains Of
MY country it's of thee, sweet
land of liberty" We're heard on
every side. The personal integ-
rity, the unseltish devotion and the
untiring aggressiveness of Wash
lnSton was held aloft to the people
as a life to he patterned after.
And why this celebration?
What was the foundation of Wash
lnston's greatness? Simply this:
He successfully battled against
foreign tyranny, freed his country
men and gained for them indie.
pendence absolute and uncondi-
tional. He warned his county,
men against entangling alliances
with foreign powers. Those were
the foundation stones to the great
ness of George Washington, and
The UNION joins in paying rever-
ent tribute to the memory of this
great man.
Washington and the heroic
thousands which followed in his
lead fought for independence, and
for a hundred years the flag first
raised and supported by the sturdy
continentals of the old days has
been an emblem of independence,
of freedom and of the blessings
which a only come through the
perpetuation of these principles.
Bat we have thrown the Washing
ton idea overheard. The flag is
no longer an emblem of the prin-
ciples enumerated above. While
we are singing "My country it's of
thee, sweet land of liberty and
paying tribute to the great apostle
Of freedom and independence, our
military and naval forces, under
, the flag first raised in the days of
1875, are engaged in slaughtering
and whipping into submission
eleven millions Of people in a far
off cline who are fighting to obtain
the same priceless boon coveted
and gained by the immortal Wash
ington-liberty and independence!
The Filipinos love independence,
enough to fight for it, and that is
their only crime. Eight months
ago they welcomed Americans as
brothers, and joined hands in for
ever crushing Spanish tyranny in
the far east. This was accomp-
lished, and now the hand which
aided them is turned to crush them
into submission. Yet in the midst
Of this we celebrate the anniversary
Of the birth of the one who was
instrumental in establishing the
very principle which we are now
engaged in taking from the Fill
ipinos. To THE UNION, this eel
ebration IS a conglomeration of in
consistency, to say the least.
Perchance this may fall under
the eye of some sanctimonious
reader who has prated about 'sthe
mission of u great country" that
"the God Of nations has willed
that ours shall be the one to carry
the blessings of civilization to all
the EARTH" that this same "God
Of nations has willed that wal
should be the instrument with
which these blessings shall be
