DEPEw'S CONVINCING ARGu-
MENT

Mr.. Depew's recent speech in the
Senate in favor of the shipping bill
was worthy of his great reputation as
an orator and statesman Mr.. Depew
is member of the Senate Committee
on Commerce, and participated in the
work of framing the shipping bill.
That he was thoroughly posted on
the subject was evident by his mas
terly address. He demonstrated the
folly of the free trade talk about free
ships and answered many of the false
criticisms made of the pending bill.
The extraordinary shortcomings of
the United States in the matter of
merchant marine i'll the foreign trade
were emphasized py such startling
facts as the one showing that the
United States had in 1907, with
population of 1900, 600, larger regis.
tered tonnage for the foreign trade
than in 1901. with ~, 600. 900 popula-
ton, and that our merchant marine
in the foreign trade, which was in
1852 the greatest in the world, has
now dropped below that of Norway.
with only 1000, 900 population. Mr..
Depew pointed out the causes of this
almost uncomfortable discrepancy, =
and demonstrated how the pending
bill when it becomes law, will over
come the adverse influences that have
been operating so greatly against the
interests of the nation It is a pity
that the people generally could not
hear such speeches as those of Mr..
Depew, Mr.. Frye and Mr.. Hanna on
this eminently important measure.
because if they could do so any mem
Der of Congress opposing the bill
would not last long with his consti-
tuents.

THROWING OFF THE YOKE.
The Resolution In Congress That
Led to Our Independence.


1t was ON June T. 1776, that the dele
gates from the colonies sitting in congress
in Philadelphia considered the following
resolution introduced by yirginia's states
man, Richard Henry Lee:
Resolved, That the United States colonies are
and ought to be free and Independent states, and
their political connection with Great Britain is
and ought to be dissolved.
The resolution was indorsed by the
majority of one. Thirteen colonies were
represented. Because seven of them vot-
ed and stood for independence the Unit
ed States is today what she is. Suisse
quent developments prove that had the
action taken been delayed the question of
independence might have slept in peace
until the herald of the people, no one
knows how many years after, sounded
the tocsin of revolution. The delegates
thought it wise to defer the question OF
final consideration to July 1. 1776, by
which time they believed there might be
a more united feeling among the people.
Thus it was that on June II that ia
nous committee was appointed to frame
the Declaration of Independence. Note

Narrow the zone that his little soul bounds
Let the guns roar,
Let the red rockets soar,
And bring from the smithies the anvils once more
With the fife and the drum
And the bugle and bomb
Let the universe know that the great day is come!
For their glory who turned from the pillow to the
sword
Make sound-make sound of great joy to the
Lord
What is the story the skyrockets tell
Soaring up the walls Of the night?
IT'S the story of pride that was lofty and fell
When the stars of our freedom burst grandly in
sight,
Flooding the world with their glorious light
And the years go by,
And traditions die,
And men aspire
Let the beacons fash on crag and shore,
Let the signal lights rise higher, higher,
Ever more brilliant than before,
Ever till earth from her orbit shall fall
Let the scepters they won
Pass from sire to son
Each king in his right and the Lord DER us ALL

The idea of expressing the union of
the different colonies by stripes in a flag
became familiar to every one very early
in the history of the Revolutionary war,
and in 1875 and 17T6 flags We're used
bearing Is stripes; but the first legally
established national emblem was that
adopted by congress June IA, iii, which
provided that the flag of the ID United
States should be IS stripes, alternately
red and white, and the union of 10 stars,
white in a blue field This form was al
tered by act of Jan. 10, 1904, which pro
vided that after May /, 1875. the flag
of the United States should consist of.
10 stripes. alternately red and white,
and 10 stars, white in a blue field. In
1918, however, act Of April 4, the flag
was restored to its original form of Is
horizontal stripes alternately red and
white, the union to consist of 20 stars,
white in blue field. one star to be add
ed to the union on the admission of eg-
cry new state the addition to be made
on July 4 following such admission. This
flag went into effect July 4, 1918, and is
