Is This a typical Americnn2

President Roosevelt selected White
law Reid as special ambassador to
the coronation of King Edward, be-
cause he wished to have a man whom
the English court would receive cor
daily and who at the same time
would pose as a typical American cit
izen. In one respect the president
considered the eternal fitness of
things in choosing Reid. In another
respect he did not. How well he
succeeded in meeting the two requis-
ties is proven in these extracts from
a speech delivered by Mr.. Reid not
many years ago at a New York press
banquet:
There is no such thing in America
as an independent press, unless it is
out in the country towns he said.
You are all slaves. You know il and
l know il. There is not one of you
who dares express an honest opinion.
If you express ii you know before
hand that ii would never appear in
print. L am paid $50. Ia week. for
keeping honest opinions out of the
paper l am connected with. Others
of you are paid similar salaries for
doing similar things. If i should al
low honest opinions to be printed in
one issue of my paper, like Othello,
before twenty-four hours my occupa-
ton would be gone. The man who
would be so foolish as TO write hon
est opinions would be out on the
streets hunting for another job. The
business of New York journalist is
to distort the truth, to lie outright.
to pervert, to vilify. TO fawn at the
feet of mammon, and to sell his coun-
try and his race for his own daily
bread, or for what is about the same
thing, his salary. You know this and
l know it; and what foolery il is to
be tOasting the independent press.
We are tools and vassals of the rich
men behind the scenes. They pull the
lstrings and we dance. Our time. our
talents. our lives, our possibilities
are all the property of other men.
We are intellectual prostitutes
This is the type of man whom Pres
ident Roosevelt declares is a typical
American citizen. The press of the
country long ago discredited him. as
it would any man who would prosti-
tute his journal before the throne of
mammon. Mr.. Reid is a self-confess-
ed traitor to his constituency and
acknowledges his duplicity without a
blush of shame. He is a credit Meth
er to his profession nor his country.

And what great thing il is to
have conferred that blessing. How

any material achievements was this
victory over the temptations of greed

him that gives and him that receives
it is the boon of liberty.
Senator Hoar was certainly right in
saying that Cuba shows what we
might do in the Philippines. In one
case we did it because we were in
honor bound to; in the other we
should act in accord with an inclina-

How thrills the loyal heart to these,
But not with dread, or anxious fear,
These drum beats sound no reveille,
This march proclaims no parting
tear.
Yet. fresh in every heart today
Are thoughts of other scenes than
these,
OF camp, and field, and weary march,
OF prison, pen, and gaunt disease;
OF father, brother. lover, friend.
Who fills today a soldiers grave,
\ thousand times more dear the folds
OF this old flag they died to save.
Grand army of the noble dead,
North. cast. and south their graves
are strewn,
And honor to their valiant deeds
Is offered not by us alone;
The nation fills her arms with flowers
And softly comes with mournful
eyes
To drop them with her reverent tears
Where'er an honored soldier lies.
How sweetly sleep these honored
dead
Whose dust we hallow once again;
Their lips are dumb, their ears are
closed
To song of peace. and martial strain.
Beneath the flowers we strew today,
Apart from all LIES pomp and
scorn,
They wait until Gods reveille
Shall summon them to greet the
morn.
And they who fought and lived to see
Oppression swept from off the land,
We look across these years of peace
And proudly grasp them by the
Our boys in blue! Some bivouac
here,
While some are tented over there.
And they who wake, and they who
sleep.
Alike their country's honors share.
The sword is sheathed, but who
shall read
Without tnrob of pride. and pain,
The record of those manly ranks
That fell before the Ieaden rain.
The graves are made; if some lie dead
Unknown to human song, and
fame.
Their grand heroic deeds. and deaths.
Gods angel writes with pen of
flame.
none may know their resting
place,
Though none may deck their graves
today,
In loyal hearts their memory lives,
Undimmed, unsullied by decay.
Above them bends the starry blue,
The wild flower reddens on their
breast,
And. white against the sunny sky.
The floating cloud uprears its
crest.
Brave boys i'm blue! Where'er they
lie.
In honored or in hidden grave,
Beneath the stately marble shaft,
Or where the untrod grasses wave;
We cherish them in loving hearts,
There is no death for such as they,
Though wrapt in dust their ashes lie,
The nations heroes live today.
