DANIEL WEBSTER.

This expression from an American President
called forth from Webster his immortal salutation
to the struggling Greeks. His grafton was not
neutral according to later standard, but it was
American, and in every line and word of it Our
Country spoke. He had no doubt of Our right
to speak, no doubt that were vitality interested
in the outcome of the struggle, no doubt that it
was Our duty to make known attitude.
I'VE stand" said Webster, "as an equal among
nations, claiming the full benefit of the established
international law; and it is duty to oppose from
the earliest to the latest moment, any innovation
Upon that code which shall bring into doubt
ton equal and independent rights" Con-
tinuine, he said:
"The asserted right of forcibe intervention in the
affairs of other nations is in open violation of the
public law of the world. What it to us, may be
asked, Upon what principles, or what pretenses the
European governments assert right of interfering
in the affairs of their neighbors. The thunder may
be said, rolls at distance. The wide Atlantic is be-
tween us and danger; and however others may suf
fer we shall remain safe. think It is sufficient
answer to this to say, that WE ARE ONE OF THE
NATIONS OF THE EARTH; THAT WE
HAVE AN INTEREST THEREFORE IN THE
PRESERVATION OF THAT SYSTEM OF
NATIONAL LAW AND NATIONAL INTER
COURSE WHICH HAS HERETOFORE SUB
SISTED, so beneficia11y to all.
I'VE have as clear an interest in international
law individuals have in the laws Of society. But
apart from the soundness of the policy, the ground
of direct interest, have, Sir duty connected with
this subject. which trust willing to perform.
WHAT DO WE NOT OWE TO THE CAUSE
OF CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY? TO
THE PRINCIPLE OF LAWFUL RESIST
ANCE? TO THE PRINCIPLE THAT SOCI
ETY. HAS A RIGHT TO PARTAKE IN ITS
OWN GOVERNMENTS" He continues:
Does it not become us, then, IS IT NOT A
DUTY IMPOSED ON US, to give word to the
side Of liberty and justice, to let mankind know that
not tired of institutions, and TO
PROTEST AGAINST THE ASSERTED POW
Err OF ALTERING AT PLEASURE THE LAW
OF THE CIVILIZED WORLD?'
Thus spoke Our Country through the voice of
one of her greatest sons and thus she has ever
spoken, even when "the thunder did not roll at
such a distance"
SEWARD NOT APPALLED,.
In one of the darkest hours of the Civil War,
our Minister at London sent word to our Secre-
tary of State that he had reason to believe that
would be addressed to him by the Eng
lish ministry looking to intervention Stewards
letter in reply will always be shining page in
the history of Our Country. Although we were
engaged in struggle for the preservation of our
national existence, which taxed our strength, and
although the menace proceeded from the greatest
power in the world, the voice of Our Country did

try to find expression for the thought and feeling

Never did Country speak to Americans more

voice of America, sounding clear and vibrant,
amidst the stridencies of ignorance and sophistry

OUR COUNTRY WE LOVE IT?
| was talking recently with a distinguished
tourist from abroad. 1t was at the conclusion of
his visit and he commenting after the manner
of foreign visitors upon our institutions and our
national outlook He seemed particularly i'm
pressed by the great tide of immigration pouring
through our gateways, and its effect upon our cit
izenship. These newcomers" said he, with
few exceptions do not love America. They love
its body, not its soul. They appreciate the rea-
tive ease of making living, and the higher plane
of comfort upon which existence is possible, but
they know nothing of your history, of the genius
of your institutions of the true meaning of Amer
ica'
This was said with the cocksureness which
brief sojourn and rapid survey of America seem
to inspire in foreign visitors. But true words are
often spoken not only in jest, but in hurried OBJ
servation
If the charge is true in degree, of Our nat
uralized citizenship, is it wholly untrue of our
native citizens?

1t has been said recently in this country and
on high authority that it is the duty of Americans
to be neutral in word and deed, ave. in

MONROE.
1t was not always thus that country has
stood mute at such a juncture. When Greece in
the last century struggling for her indepen
dence against the hateful yoke of Turkish oppres-
sion, President Monroe in his message to Con-
gress said, without indirection or conceament of
his feelings:
"A strong hope has been long entertained,
founded the heroic struggle Of the Greeks, that
they would succeed In their contest and their
equal station among the nations of the earth. 1t is
believed that the whole civilized world takes deep
interest in their welfare"

not fater. Our Minister was told to decline all
debate OF the question of intervention If the sub
ject was persisted in he told to announce his
mission at an end. and to leave England Said
Seward, speaking OF this step, which was recog-
nized as involving rupture with England:
"Its possible consequences have been weighed
and its solemnity is therefore felt and freely
knowledged. g You will perceive that
have approached the contemplation of that crisis
with the Caution which great reluctance has inspired.
BUT TRUST THAT YOU WILL ALSO
HAVE PERCEIVED THAT THE CRISIS HAS

Right we'll and high did Seward carry the
standard of his country, and with firm hand.
OLNEY CAUGHT THE TRUE NOTE.
Secretary of State Olney caught the true note
of Our Country, in his discussion with Great
Britain of the Venezuelan boundary, when he
said
THAT there circumstances Under which
ton may justly nterpose in controversy to which
two or more other nations the direct and imme-
date parties is an admitted canon of international
law. any such right and duty exist their due exer
else and discharge will not permit of any action that
shall not be efficient and that, If the power of the
United States Is adequate, shall not result IN the
conplishment of the end in view.'
So has Our Country spoken in the crises of the
past. From the beginning OF its political exist
ence it has been the champion of the most adj
vanced ideas of natural right and justice. Our
Country has always been the recognized upholder
of the principles of humanity over tyranny and
force We have stood for the greater reign of
reason.
The past is secure. 1t is characteristic. 1t is
honorable 1t fixes standard and imposes duty
in the present, from which we should not swerve.
Has that duty been performed? l wish it were
possible to think so.

Can we regard ourselves as the champions of

past, and all that it should be now? Has the true

The rapid spread Of sweet clover in
dictates a wide range of adaptation.
Reports of success with sweet clover
as a crop are becoming so numerous
that even the most skeptical are be-
ginning to inquire concerning It's Gull
ture. Its very rapid growth, its ex-
cellent forage qualities and the fact
that it Is a legume and consequently
soil builder when inoCuatod are
recommendation that are holding
the attention Of farmers everywhere.
In steubon county was a rough gull
lied railroad cut that few years ago
was washing badly. Sweet clover got
started there in some way on the up
per edge OF the cut and soon the sweet
clover plants were making a deter
mined conquest OF this thin washing
soil. Those who have watched the
invasion say that but little Roadway
was made until about the third year,
when the invader was so firmly in
trenched with deep roots and a can
opy of green forage hiding the masked
batteries that were drilling away be-
meath establishing a foothold that the
heaviest rains scarcely loosened a
pebble. Today modest June grass has
quietly slipped in, and following the
advance work Of the rugged sweet
clover, is presenting most pleasing
sight, which five years ago was an
eye sore.

Mrs. Butenhoff then offered to lose
her leg, stating that to save the leg
of her husband would place him a

Physicians found that only part Of

was grated into the leg of her hus-
band. from which the crushed bone
had been removed. The operation was

was denied social life and that Buten-
hoff told her he did not love her.
He said, according to the petition
that when he left home he expected to
depart with another woman. He has
not been heard of since he left.
ButenhoH was awarded $1,000 dam

also filed suit, for damages, but was
denied judgment when the court held
that she suffered injuries of her own
free will and not directly as a result

AGE OF CROW IS
NOT YET KNOWN
Missouri Farmers Are Trying
to Learn How Long They
Live.

GENTRY, Mo, Aug. 12,-'How long
does the average crow live% is q
question that is now being considered
by farmers Of this vicinity.
The discussion Of this question has
been brought about by statement Of
a well-known farmer, Willard Ericsson,
living west of town, who declares that
he has a crow on his farm that is Is
years old,
New or Old.
OF course there have always been
crows-so long as the Oldest settlers
can remember. But are the swarms OF
-feathered creatures which year
" infest the corn fields the same ones
that were here last year-or the year
before? Or are the crows like the corn
a new crop. Asa rule they are all as
alike as two peas and the farmers are
not friendly enough toward them to
care aught about their ages.
Eighteen years ago this summer
Ericsson shot crow in the leg wound
ing 1t badly. For some reason he did
not try to kill it, and he noticed 1t
frequently, as it hoped about his
premises while its wound was heal
ing. The crow recovered and could
easily be told from other crows by
the peculiar limp in its walk. AS twas
not molested it continued to stay about
the place and become quite tame.
To Old HauntS.
Year after year it stayed, and the
"old crow" became as much of a farm
fixture as the old family horse, Some
times it would disappear for days and
weeks, but eventually it came back to
its old haunts.
Three years ago the Grow flew away
and did not come back in as short a
time as had been its custom, As
time passed, it was given up as gone
for good.
1t was quite a surprise, when, a
few years ago, the "old crow" was
seen limping about as usual, appar-
emily well pleased to be back home"
There is no doubt but that It is the
same crow that was wounded eighteen
years ago. How old 1t was then-who
can say?
