those who allow their hearts to speak
in the celebration of the glory and
majesty of their country. but the country
can have no glory or no majesty unless
there be deep principle and conviction

a principle. not a mere sentiment. No
man can be true patriot who does not
feel himself shot through and through
with a deep ardour for what his country
stands for, what its existence means,
what its purpose is declared to be in Its
history and in its policy.
II recall these solemn lines Of the
poet Tennyson in which he tries to give
voice to his conception of what it is
that stirs within a nation: Some sense
Of duty. something Of a faith some rev.

some patient force to change them when

Revolution, In order that America might

You do not have to go back TO stir your
thoughts again with the issues Of the

Some OF the issues of the Revolution
were not the cause of it. but merely the
occasion for IT, There are just as vital
things stirring now that concern the
existence of the nation as were stirring
then. and every man who worthily
stands in this presence should examine
himself and see whether he has the full
conception Of what II means that America
shall live her own life. Washington saw

II was not merely because Of passing

entangling alliances. 1t was because he
saw that no country had yet set its face

had set her face.
Need No Alliances.
I'VE cannot form alliances with those
who are not going our way; and in our
might and majesty and in the certainty
of our own purpose we need not and we
should not form alliances with any ma
ton In the world. Those who are right,
those who study their consciences in
their policies. those who hold
their honor higher than their advantages,
do not need alliances. You need ALI

Chairman Library Committee"
On June s, 1906. eleven days after the
date of this letter the Barry bill be-
came a law.
Mr.. O'Donoghue in the meantime noti-
fed Representative Currier. of New
Hampshire and Senator Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, that the Barry bill had passed
the Senate, and Senator Lodge thereupon
had the John Paul Jones bill acted on
and passed by the Senate. All hands
then got to work and the Barry bill and
the Jones bill went to the House and
quickly passed, and then went to the
President who signed both bills On
June s, 1906.
The question of selecting a sculptor to
design the Barry statue was then given
consideration, and after full discussion
of the problems presented 1t was decided
to invite public competition on designs
for the statue. and in this competition
Andrew O'Connor, Jerome Common. and
Mr.. Flanagan took first. second, and
third prizes, respectively. Objection was
made to the design Of Andrew O'Connor,
and the designs of all the competitors
were abandoned. and the award given to
John Boyle. subject to the approval of
representative Irish-Americans. Mr.. Boyle
submitted three designs. one Of which
was accepted on condition that some
changes be made. This was finally ap-
proved by Representative Driscoll, p. J.
Haltigan. and M. +. o'Donoghue, and
the design accepted.
Having obtained the passage of the bill,
and having formally accepted a design
for the Commodore John Barry statue,
the question Of q fitting site then was
considered. Archbishop Ireland was in
sistent that the statue be placed In La
Fayette Square. but 1t was found that
the best corners Of this park had been
taken by the French. After canvassing
all other sites Franklin Square was
agreed on and approved In the War De

The trial of the editors of the Ga
zette Universal, which took place in
Madrid 100 years ago, affords an Illus
tration Of the severity with which the
freedom of the press was restrained
in practically all Of the continental
countries in those days. Ferdinand
VII, who but recently had been re-
stored to the Spanish throne as one
of the consequences of the overthrow
of Napoleon, had become involved in
serious controversies with the cortes,
the law-making body of the land, be-
cause of the latter's liberal views. A
revolution appeared to be imminent

zone of the Spanish armies had de-
clared their determination to support
the constitution and the cortes. For
thus daring to take sides against the
throne the editors of the newspaper
were condemned by order Of the king
to labor six years in the galleys. on
the coast of Africa.
