1t is q pity that this country can
not be represented in England by
men whose heads are not apt to be
turned bv a little social reco gni-
ton. Too long have the views and
sentiments of the American people
been m,srepresented by Anglo
maniacs and toadeaters. 81 can
assure my American friends that
England can be depended upon
in any controversy that may arise, !"
proclaims Speaker Henderson after
having been permitted to spend a
short time in the awful presence of
the king Of England. What won
derful discovery has been made by
Mr.. Henderson,! Hereafter this
puny, su',servient weakling, called
the United States of America,
should have no cause to fret, be-
cause. excla;ms the speaker of the
national House of Representatives,

battles and who will see that it i.

There used to be a time in the
good old days of the republic when
the help of England was not needed
Uncle Sam managed to pull through
without the aid Of John Bull. Th'
republic went about ITS business
unmiad,ul .f the pleasure or dis
pleasure of the English monarch
, Even before the country acquired
the force and authority to think TO
!, itself and act without the Paterna
approba,inn of the British throne
the patriot, Of the revolutio,
learned t" do things without con
: sulting England, and though KIM
George was unwilling, the colonie
were brave enough and stron
enough TO free the mselves from tn
oppressive and tyrannical yoke O
that despntic ruler. Though g,eatl
outnumbered the Americans VOL
their freedom, and years after, whe1
England tried it's old favcrite gam
of bullying, the English monarcl
was again taught to respect Amer
lean character and the vaior @
American arms. Conscious of it
strength and proud of its posi.io
in the Eyes of the world, the re
public maintained dignified neu
;, traIitv, fighting its own battles an
commanding at all times the respect
if not the admiration, of the civil
lied world.
But HAS it come to pass that thi
once proud and powerful Republi
must "depend upon" its old tim
enemy. the throne Of England Nc
, So That necessity exists only in tn
minds of Speaker Henderson an
the other Anglomaniacs who al
making themselves contemplate
the opinion of all genuine Amer
cans who love their country an
hate It's foes.
England, true to its history,
