In 1888, eXasDerated beyond human
endurance, a handful of Beers sought
TO leGreSs wrong with force, but were
supuueu ana hung, and their mothers
wives ana sisters were dragged to the
scatoid and compelled to witness their
execution is it any wonder the Boer
icokS upon the Briton as the hound of
hell?
In 1874, after England had violated
every compact it had made with the
boer II renounCed all claim to suze-
ialnty after having claimed it and hav-
J ing abandoned it, and knowingly and
purposely omitted the very word from
the treaty, and today there are En-
Silshineh and Anglo-maniacs who
claim the Beers are rebels. Is it any
wonder the Beer looks upon the Briton
as the prince of liars?
BRITISH IDIOTS.
In 1886, Chamberlain, Rhodes and
Jameson organized the most miserable
| lhSuffectlonf recorded in history. and
Poet Laureate Austin prOstituted his
iIopIe art to idealize this act of treach-
cry ana dismal defeat into a British
Victory ana national epOs. Is it any
wonder the Boer looks upon the Brit
on as an IDIOT?
In every battle the two have fought.
! the lSrltOn has iH-aH bn
anu yet the Boer has been victorious
IS IL any wonder the Boer looks upon
the Brlton as the weaker?
verify the Boer has good cause to
cram that ne is physically morally and
lintellectually the superior of the Briton
| he mas met in Africa.
Inat EngIiShman is blind with con-
ceit who thinks he sees in the Boer the
EnSIlsh lions lamb. When the Boer
hes down by the BritOn it will be with
ms fnger on the trigger of his gun
Eng land today presents the disgust
lIS ana coWardly spectacle Of the over
grown bully who is whining under the
ploWS of the little fellow he dared in
suit because he thought him weak
No, our English cousins, our boasted |
AngIo-SaXon allies with whom we are |
supposed to wipe out every civilization |
out your own. you cannot have the |
sympathy of our common people IN this |
unnoly brutal lying attack upon the
character and country of a sister re-
pubic, however small and poor Our
sympathy goes forth, uncalled and un- |
sohclted, to that sturdy, hardy race of
pioneers who have challenged the ad-
mlratlon of the world by daring to in
Slst ON their rights and humbling what
was until then supposed to be the
mlghtlest power under the sun: it goes
out to race, who in their simplicity
9 Il
for a century in the seclusion of thier
wlids, with the Bible as their guide,
nursed moral grandeur that is des-
tined to become the broad foundation
OF the mighty empire of a free, Just
and happy people,
In sending them this greeting, let US
pray that God may speed their cause
and grant them victory
The next speaker was Father O'Ryan
who was greeted with a perfect tumult
OF cheers. applause and waving of 9
handkerchiefs.
Men and women rose TO their fet in
ther enthusiasm, showing with what
love and appreciation this scholarly
and pious priest is held by the people of
Denver, Catholics and Protestants
