1.-THE Star. Spansled Banner"

The coming centennial celebration
of the writing of the "star-Spangled
Banner next September in Baltimore
is expected to bring out full if not
a heated discussion of the phrasing
of the famous third stanza of the
poem, which is seldom seen in print,
owing to the objection of some, fear
ing that it might generate and keep
alive unpleasant memories among the
English. The stanza follows:
And where is the band who so Wanting
ly swore
That the havoc of war and the battles
confusion
A home and country should leave us no
more?
Their blood has washed out their foul
footsteps pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and
slave
From the terror of fight. or the gloom of
the grave;
And the star-spangled banner in triumph
Ger the land OF the free and the home of
the brave.

erage Englishman is of such delicate

Education.

(By John Gibson, Junior at Carlisle In
dian school, published in The Carlisle
Arrow, the school paper)
What is education? There are many
answers to that question, but they
may all be expressed in what Spen-
Ger has said, namely, ITO prepare us
for a complete living is the function
which education has to discharge"
Complete living means great deal,
and if nothing but an education will
enable us to live completely" then
an education should be had at any
cost.
1t is a praiseworthy ambition for
boy to desire to fill, some day, an
official position. In civil service, ex-
aminations have to be passed before
an official position can be obtained,
and this requires education and train
ing. When men enter upon such re-
sponsiblc positions, they learn what
true education means. 1t means not
only the training of the intellect but
of all the virtues as WE'LL for such
men must be honest and moral and
must measure up to the standard
which education has raised throughout
the civilized world. Official positions
are we'll worth the effort obtained in
getting them, for there one has OPP
portunities to serve his government to
show to the country what an educated
man can do. and, if conditions are very
| favorable, to develop some system
of his own which will help in man
aging affairs Of state. Often these
systems are ridicuIed, but out of them
develop ideas which are for the good
of the people

in which am interested but not spe-
cialiy familiar with-a bold adventure
I must admit--the subject of politics.
In conversation a few years ago on
the issues then pending with prom
inent Democrat acquaintance, and
withall a god lawyer and business man
of Augusta, he made this remark:
Politics is a funny thing; you new
er know whom to trust or when you re
safe" which quite agrees with Gill
bert Parker's story, you never know
your luck" Also / remember what
the late George Cony of Augusta, one
of the most genial and popular land
lords in the State, said to me in our
discussion of the temperance question.
Temperance is all right, but listen:
Some of your noted temperance ora
tors in the Legislature thrill their au-
diences with glowing descriptions of
the beauties of temperance and then
come down here to my hotel. play
cards and drink till midnight and
thcn go to bed with their boots on.
Walking one day with Senator
W of Aroostook county, on
State and Grove streets, 1 expressed
surprise that he should vote as he did
directly against bill, in the inter
est of the farmer. He flushed up a
little and said: TIL tell you; We
wanted something Ia bridge of
corrse> down our way and we could
not get 1t unless I did" There you
have it-log rolling, I wonder il Eng
land or Uncle Sam has done any log
rolling recently.
Well, boots or no boots, | am going
to vote in the coming primaries and
at the September election for Judge
Peters. He is a man that will go to
bed in a Christian manner and what
is more than all that, he is man
that has already made his mark In
Congress and. if we send him back
there as we hope to, he will cause
those fellows. who have been there so
long and know it all, to sit up and
take notice. I have never had the
homer of meeting Judge Peters q hope
to sometime), but have seen pic
ture of him in the newspapers and
that clean-cut face, firm mouth, high
forehead and clear, straightforward
look, indicated a man of strong per-
sonality, man with courage to do
his duty: a man to stand up in Con-
gress and fight for the interests of
the Maine farmer.

Harmless a. French Duel.

In the engagement" The Tampico

consent decided to be "a drawn COM

that now confpnt one another. From
which 1t appeas that Mexican naval
engagement is equally as harmless as

THEN

Forty-eight years ago today
the first G. A. r. Post was es-
tablished, in Decatur, Ill. Major
BENJAMIN +. Stephenson, sur
geon of the 14th Illinois Regi-
ment, and three army friends
had drawn up the constitution
two months before. The secret
ritual was printed by veterans
in the office of the Decatur
Tribune, all of whom were mem
bers of the order. Its purpose
was the establishment and de-
tense of the late soldiery of the
United States, morally, socially,
and politically, with a view to
inculcate a proper appreciation
of their services and claims by
the American people" The first
National Encampment was held
in indianapolis, 1865. Gen S. A.
Hurlbut became the first COM
mander- in chief.
