THE GRAND OLD MAN.
Rev. Alex Macintosh was introduced
as the great old Scotchman, and re-
sponded TO the toast, THE Land We
Live IN He said: Even that lovely
martial music we heard will not drive
out of my head the toast Here we
are all living with the idea of enjoy
ing ourselves as we do in the old land.
This beautiful land that requires even
| the glorious verse of Bobbie Burns to
extoll it's beauty. To US who have lived
| here almost since the time of semi
barbarouS times to the present. To
think we are in this country striving
to make the country shine and make
1T as bright as possible, is a good
thought, and who knows but some day
we may have a Bobbie Burns to extoll
the land of palm trees-the land we
live in. We are having a great change
over the land at the present time 1
wonder what will take place in the flu
ture? Whether we will have these old
things wiped out altogether. When We
hear the martial music of the pipes,
which l have so recently heard in the
land whence we Sprang, it makes one
feel that even this land must de-
try which resembles so much this
country we live in.
I'VE want to cement that bond of
friendship which we have brought here
to this land. There is no tie so strong
as that which the Scots feel toward
each other, even in this land we live
in. The name of Scotland. the songs
of Scotland, the poems of Bobbie Burns
and Sir Walter Scott make us feel we
have sprung from land of which we
can we'll be proud. We want to keep
it grand before the world. Where
heard tonight"

Attorney General Dole responded to
the toast, THE Bar" He made one
of the hits of the evening in a brief
response which was applauded at al
most every sentence. He said in part:

a great Scotchman, the greatest states |
man who ever stood before a bar of /
justice, Thomas Erskine. He stood /
against despotic power for the freedom |
of the press. We owe this freedom to |
Scotland. Our country which produced |
a Daniel Webster and a Choate, can
shake hands with the country which
produced an Erskine.
