The Star Spangled Banner

o, say, can you see by the dawn's early light
What. so proudly we hailed in the twilights last
cleaning?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the
perious fight,
Ger the ramparts we watched were so gallantly
streaming;
And the rockets red glare the bombs bursting In air.
Gave proof through the night that flag was still
there ,-
o, say does that starspangled-banner yet wave
Ger the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dmly seen through the mists of the
Deep
What is that which the breeze, Ger the towering
AS it itfully blows, half conceals, half discoses?
Nowit catches the geam OF the mornings first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream
IT'S the star-spangled banner! O. long may it wave
Oer the land of the free and the home of the brave
And where is that band who vauntingly
That the havoc of war and the battles confusion
home and country should leave more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of death and the gloom Of the grave
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall
wave
Ger the land of the free and the home of the brave
O. thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the wars desola-
Best with victory and peace, may the heaven-res-
cued land
Praise the power that has made and preserved us
nation.
Then conquer we must, for our cause, it is just,
And this be our motto, In God is our trust"
And the star-spanged banner in triumph shall
Ger the land of the free and the home of the brave

Roosevelt in 1904. In 1884 it was his
oratory largely that prevented the re-

the convention.
From the time he became of age un-
til his death there scarcely was a
state convention OF his party in which
he was not a prominent figure. For
twenty-eight years he was unani-

He was elected to the Senate in

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Boulder. Colo.-Horace w. Hill, who
was a prisoner almost two weeks in
Mexico after the occupation of Vera
Cruz by the American forces, arrived
in Boulder.
Relieved to be back home, he says
that his escape from Mexico was in no
wise due to the efforts of the official
representatives there. and that had it
not been for former major of the
rurals under the Madero regime he
would still be q prisoner of the Mexi-
cans.
Hill declares II Villa and Zapata are
permitted to enter the City of Mexico
the greatest slaughter in the modern
history of that country will take place.
Like some other refugees that have
made their way out of Mexico. Hill is
not in sympathy with the Wilson
policy and says that the elimination
of Huerta will mean only the substi-
tuition of another tyrant who will have
to rule by blood and iron. Only II
