Senator Hoar and Andrew Carnegie can

Statements just like the above were
made before the war by just such papers
all over the North as well as the South,
concerning Phillips, Garrison and other
abolitionists. Garrison was led through
the streets Of Boston with a rope about
his neck, Lovejoy was murdered and
John Brown hanged for treason, and all
to bolster up a wrong. When a greedy
Commercialism leads the administration
into useless ard all unjust war we pro-

In the $50 years since the Dutch East
India company first placed Dutch emf
grants and French Huguenots in Cape
Colony two imigrations or tricks have
been made into the interior to escape
British tyranny and wrong. Against
great odds and under adverse circum-
stances they have a third time wrested
their land from the savages, built them
homes, and established a republic. The
last trek possible has been made. 1t is
independence or annihilation. They are
fighting as our fathers fought in the rev.
olution. They are the descendants OF
the men who for years, withstood the
the armies of Spain, then the most pow,
erful nation on earth, under the com.
mand of that monster, the Duke of Alva,
and finally pulled down their dykes and
gave their homes to the sea to save them
from his tyranny, More than once has
England tried to wipe Holland off the
map, but has always failed, Just as she
will now fail in this brutal and uncalled
for attack upon theirdescendents. As ii
the revolution so now the greatest
statesmen and the great mass of the
/ people are not in sympathy with the war
They would be just. 1t is only the aris
tocracy and those in authority, led by
