OLD GLORY.

Fling out old Glory from tower and
steeple,
Fling 1t aloft in the blue. sunny skies;
Let it be seen on this day by the people
Streaming in freedom wherever 1t flies,
1t is the emblem of splendor and power,
OF blessings untold and of true liberty
1t is our heritage, ensign and dover,
1t is the flag of the brave and the free.
1t is the flag that our heroes have borne
Through carnage and death, over val
ley and plain,
When thunder clouds lowered aud when
specters forlorn
Appeared through the lightnings that
flashed in the rain.
Long may it wave, like the banners Of
heaven,
That CLEAN far away when the tempes;
is DER;
Long may it shine like the rainbows OF
even,
With promise of peace to our land ever.

KENTUCKY.

Kentucky is the greatest State
in the Union in point of undevel-
oped mineral wealth, hospitable
people and pretty women.
Irish men and women have done
more for the development of Ken
lucky and the United States than
the boosted Anglo-Saxon race.
American genius. untiring en-
ergy and devotion to the principles
of the constitution have made this
the greatest country in the world.
The Kentucky Irish American,
with its present success and augu-
ries of future prosperity, desires to
see the wealth of Kentucky devel-
oped and will lend its aid thereto;
it wants TO see more Irish men and
women high in social and political
affairs in Kentucky and the nation;
it wants to see America continue to
be the land of the free and the
home of the brave as well as a
refuge for the down-trodden and
prosecuted.

Spectators fixing up corners"
sometimes run against Uncle Sam.
With the coming of millions of sill
yer for the Philippines, the "bulls"
advanced the price of silver bullion
FIVE cents per ounce. But your
Uncle Sam won't pay it; the
Government of Mexico has just
paid half million Mexican dollars
in the Plus Fund award for the
American claimants. Uncle Sam
will pay the claimants in American
money, coin the Mexican dollars
into Philippine money, and save
$40, 900 the "bulls" were scheming
to fitch from him. The silver
corner" is busted, the price of
bullion having fallen two cents in
the past week.

forcibIy if he must-iust like OLE

forcibly if he must-just like old
'76.
A world powerl This waif of
'76 has only begun to grow at I27
years old; he is only giving hint
of what he can do, what he wants
to be-a world beater-and has
broken all records of history in
everything he has undertaken, or
been forced to undertake, up to
date.
Despite his ignoble birth and
other drawbacks, which under his
liberal government don't count, for
all men are born free and equal, no
matter where or under what condi-
tons, and are assured and protected
in the fullest liberty, even to voting
and holding any Office up to the
highest; independence of the irdi-
vidual as we'll as the whole people
is an accomplished fact, based upon
the illogical basis of free and uni
versal suffrage, demonstrated by a
century of actual test; the Gland of
the free, the home of the brave,
the refuge of the oppressed" is
fully exempli6ed; the descendants
of the heroes of '76 and those of
millions of immigrants from all
clines and races have been imbued
with the same spirit of genuine
patriotism, love of country and its
institutions that has overcome fac
tionalism, sectionalism, dissension
as we'll as the foreign foe.
OF whatever nationality, race,
creed, politics or condition, with
liberty free as the air, though at
times differing as to policy, the
people of this republic have proven
thoroughly and above all Ameri
cans, faithfully devoted unto death,
if need be, to the declaration of
1916 and the Government of which
it is the corner stone. With fervor,
enthusiasm and noise they celebrate
their anniversary the world over,
wherever they may be, as only
Americans can. in any manner that
pleases them-a really free people
who know what liberty is and how
to enjoy it, as their forefathers
interpreted and established it, and
they have maintained and defended
it as their heritage.

Hon. w. Bourke Cochran is to
be married, it is reported, but moth
ing further, not even the name of
the bride-to-be, is given. This
appears to be a fake. When a
bachelor takes notion to get mar
ried it is somewhat spontaneous,
and he is already married or in the
midst of hasty preparations before
the newspapers find it out. Of
course, Mr.. Cochran may prove an
exception to the rule and surprise
his friends by bringing his bride
with him on his return from
Europe.

1t looks as if we may have case
of clash between courts and some
body go to Jail in the Haldeman-
Evening Post case. United States
Judge Evans appointed a receiver
who has charge of the Evening
Post. Now Judge Miller, of the
State Circuit Court, has appointed
a receiver. Both receivers are in
structed to report next week. One
or the other will have to report
that he can not carry out the order
of his court; that he has been re-
fused and obstructed in the dis
charge of his duty; that the Even
ing Post owners would not recog-
nize him, and the other receiver
would not allow him to possess and
control books and property as
ordered by the honorable court.

The management of the Home
Telephone Company acted not only
wisely but honorably with their
employees, deserving the confidence
reposed in them; and the employees
showed sense and fairness in await
ing full consideration of their de-
mands. The result, an adjustment
after careful investigation, will
tend to confidence and respect of
employer and employees for each
other, as we'll as mutually bene-
fetal to both. Employers can fully
trust such employees, and employees
will surely labor to honestly uphold
and advance the interests of such
employers. There are employers
and employees who might greatly
better their conditions by following
the example of the Home Tele-
phone Company and its employees
in settling differences. 1t is a far
more pleasant and profitable way
than some of them seem to prefer.

With money plenty and fireworks
cheap, Young America will noisily
demonstrate his patriotism on the
Glorious Fourth. Who says the
spirit of rs is dead, dying or even
ennui? Put a cannon cracker
under him and rouse him out of his
stupor. We're 1877 years old, and
as young, vigorous and saucily
patriotic as ever. Zip! Bang |!
Boom! Hooray

I77o-I0o3.

One hundred and twenty-seven
years ago today the Continental
Congress, tired of petition and pro-
test, gave up hope of redress OF
grievances from the Crown, and
openly and de6antly revolted in
the declaration:
"That these united colonies are,
and of right ought to be, free and
independent States; that they are
absolved from all allegiance to the
British Crown, and that all pollti-
cal connection between them and
the State of Great Britain is, and
ought to be, totally dissolved"
And amid the thunders of war a
new nation was born. A feeble
weakling, a waif upon the doorstep,
disowned by all save one-France
and its early ending predicted by
sages and diplomats, who pointed
to the wreck of such "free govern
ments" and the graves OF such
mad heroes who had presumed to
defy the power of the King. And
the results proved their predic-
tons incorrect, for the Colonists
wrested independence from the
most powerful King, established a
free government, have maintained
it against all outward opposition
and internal dissension, and the
swaddling infant has grown to be
the strongest, wealthiest, most ag-
gressive and leading nation OF
the world, while the path of the
past century is strewn with the
wrecks of the crowned heads and
dynasties contemporaneous with its
birth in 1916.
Many of them are historical rem
iniscences; others are tottering to
dissolution and downfall. The
waif of I776 is hale and hearty,
thank you; neither seeks their
good wishes, asks their aid, cares
for their warnings, nor fears their
threats; but fully satisfied as far as
he has gone with his untenable
form of government, illogical
methods of business and hurrah
way of doing things generally, in
sists on their keeping hands off
American soil and everything
American. anywhere else.
Independent in everything, the
infant of 1916, though kindly dis
posed to all, asks nothing from any
power on earth. He is strong,
active, rich, fully able to care for
himself and all he thinks belongs
to him. He pursued his own way,
backing up his judgment with
the money or otherwise; will sell
all nations anything they can pay
for, lend them all the money they
can pay interest on, treat them
fairly and make them treat him as
he believes to be right. In manu-
features, trade, finance, national
and international affairs, he will
have his way--peaceably If he can.

wronefully withheld from him by
the Vaccinations of relatives.
According to the story told by
the old man the property In ques-
ton lies In the richest oil section of
Wetzel county and during the past
few years a number of fine wells
have been drilled In on 1t. The oil
from the property alone brings In
thousands Ct dollars a year, while
the coal with which the property Is
underlaid Is worth a mat fortune.
Martin says the property orig
inally belor ged to great uncle.
Upon his death 1t went into the
hands of his uncle, who falsely
swore that he was the only living
heir, when, as a matter Of fact he
had two brothers living, although
their whereabouts are unknown.
This happened years ago. The
property Is now In possession of
the heirs of the uncle.
Martin claims that these heirs
are aware of his existence and have
threatened him with death If be

says he Is not afraid of their threats
He Is going there with two guns In
his pockets and If any shooting Is
done he Is going to do his share OF
1t. Besides that he has a friend
who Is looking after his interests.
Martin Is going to New Martins.

settlement In foil to date and he
claims that he Is prepared to en-
force his claims If the people who
are now occupying the property do
