day last week occurred upon the 22,
four press day, and as result VI
were unable to express our opinion o
colonial danes and sons of the revolu
tlon, engaged In passing resolutions o
sympathy for the English In the Trans
vaal. Great and loving Cod just thlnl
Of the degenerates sailing under thu
colors OF 177G and claiming to be Amer
leans! What would Molle Start think
OF colonial dame In this age caught
red-handed In the act OF sympathizlnG
with the redcoats? What would Gen
Putnam, Ethan Allen, Paul Revere and
Mad Anthony Wayne think OF the pin
headed excuses for Americans posing
today as Sons OF the Revolution, pass
ing resolutions OF sympathy for
Queen Victoria? We can almost hear
the patriots OF l776 crying, Shame
upon the present American civilization
that 1t tolerates such outrages!" II
makes the blood boil In the veins OF an
honest lberty-loving American when
he bumps up against these unpatrlotlc
degenerates parading around under the
stars and stripes, pretending to be
Americans, when In fact they are moth
Ing more or less than the most con-
temptlble specimens OF tories and Eng
lsh sympathlzers this country has
ever produced, not excepting Benedict
Arnold. Shame upon them, and shame
upon civilization that will tolerate
such Americansl Every one OF them
should be stood beside stone wall
and unceremoniously exterminated.
This Is America and not England, and
II Is America because we whipped Eng
land In 1776 and 1872; and the efforts
Of English sympathzers today to be-
tray this country into the hands of
England Is traltorous deed, deserv-
ing OF the punishment usually meted
out to traitors. America stands for
civilization that means tolerance, The
English sympathlzers stand for greed
and grab. The fight Is now on between
liberty, tolerance and fellowship
against greed, grab and commerclallsm,
backed by lyddite shells and smokeless
powder. What has come over the
spirit of our dreams, that we stand
idly by watching 100000 bloodthlrsty
murders bayoneting and butchering
$4,000 gallant and heroic Boer patriots
as ever draw the breath OF life; men
who stand ready to fight to the last
ditch rather than surrender their lib
erty? Think Of Americans standing by
and watching this inhuman butchery
without protest. II we had bit Of the
blood of the fathers Of the revolution
and the colonial mothers In our veins,
we would organize an. army Of 10000
900 men, and they would be In arms
tomorrow morning marching to Wash
ington to grab Mckinley, Hanna and
the whole gang Of British sympathiZers
and boot them of the face Of the earth.
Down with mush and milk patriotism
that sails under the flag OF Colonial
Danes and Sons of the Revolution. 1t
Is fraud and insult upon the fair
name OF patriotism, and II Americans
have no higher patriotism than that
sort to boast Of, then they had better
put up their shutters and go out OF
business, for the life Of this republic
will indeed be short In the hands OF
such people. But our readers will for
give this righteous outburst OF
righteous indignation. We feel
that 1t is hopeless case to
hope for intervention, All we have
to do is to turn our eyes from
the Transvaal to the Philippines to
recognize the fact that this pro-Brltlsh
sentiment today is eating Its cancerous
way through the American body poll
tic, honeycomblng our conscIences and
making It easy for Americans to do
In that island just what the English
are today doing In Dom Paul's country,
1t is the old spirit Of commerclalism,
One day last week an individual by
the name OF Moore got himself inter-
viewed by one Of the daily papers and |
made 1t his business to say: People
who have not travelled much may SYM
pathze with the Boers.' 1t makes us
boil every time we run across some pin |
head who has been across the water |
couple of times and imagnes because
he has, that he knows civilization. We |
have studied as many civilizations In |
our time as 1t falls to the lot of the |
average man to come in contact with.
We know an Engllshman on his own |
ground and we know the original Hol-
lander as well as anybody. We have
come in contact with the original In
dian, and we know what the genuine |
negro Is, and we know the instincts Of |
the Latin. Time was when all these |
people were right,and there was time
when all of them were generous, hon
est and manly, but that time was be-
fore our so-called civilization corrupt |
ed them. This man Moore claims to |
have been in South Africa, and strange |
to say acquired in few days resi-
dence there thorough knowledge of
the habits and instincts Of the Beers. |
He denounces them In unmeasured |
terms and in the next sentence speaks |
