about which we hear so much, is by no
means a major part of the receipts of the
United States government, but forms, in an
average year, something more than Is per
cent of governmental income; yet, accept
ing the statement at its face value, these
are the facts concerning that revenue and it's
source.
But we said of the statement made by
the liquor paper that it is an alarming truth
There is Something traceable in history
you may call it the footprints of God or
the markings of the Hand of Providence,
or, if you do not wish to go so far, you may
call it the dramatic unity of great events-a
Something in history that makes the
thoughtful student shudder to see a foul
stone builded into the structure of national
greatness.
Once we built our industrial system upon
human slavery; and a day came when ''like
a flood of many waters sweeping through"
an ocean of blood swept the whole system to
oblivion and left us wreck-strewn shores, a
desolated land and innumerable graves.
Spain, emerging from the Middle Ages,
the greatest of European nations, went
round the world as the leader of explora-
ton and conquest; made her pathway trail
OF horror with bloodshed and rapine; lit the
fires of cruelty on every shore she touched;
blotted out great civilizations that she might
load her treasure galleons with the fruits of
plumber.
And Spain paid the price
From the days of ELIZABETH and the Ar
mazda down to the days when ScHLEY piled
the wrecks of her last fleet on the shores of
the "Ever Faithful ISLE" she received at
the Lords hands double for all her sins
We struggle against the pessimistic
thought, yet the horrid truth is there, that
as those magnificent battleships of ours make
their way to the Pacific, they go as the cx-
preston of the naughty pride of nation
that has not scrupled to build it's national
greatness in blood; that has taken the price
of its peoples happiness price Of ruined
homes and wrecked lives, wherewith to cloak
itself in the outward similitude of power.
AS our ships breast the storms of the Ant
arctic may it not be that just God can
hear in the waves that beat against them,
in the gales that howl round them, the sobs
of broken-hearted wives and starved chill
dren, the shrieks Of despairing men hearts
