Some English History
The old enmity against Great Bri-
tain is instilled in every child's mind
by the study of history without the
study of political principles involved
in the issues of wars. King George
ILL.,, who reigned go years between
1760 and 1920, was more German than
English.
He was noted for his Tory autocracy,
his opposition to the growing liberal
policy advocated by the Wing party,
and his mind naturally infirm, became
so insane in 1911 that his son, George
~, became regent, but the old Tories
ruled Great Britain. 1t was DUR
ing the time of George III that the
United States had to fight the mother
land, from which we got our language,
literature, common laws and Puritan
principles to build a free nation on.
After George ~ became King in
1920, a slow, but healthy growth of
liberal ideas progressed. In fact the
United States were on most friendly
terms after 1915 and preparations
were begun to celebrate the 100 years
of peace between the two great Anglo
Saxon nations when the World War
began in 1914. While other nations
had forts and gunboats to guard their
borders, the border line of 5000 miles
between the United States and Canada
has been marked only by stone monu-
ments for 100 years.
These historic facts are given to
correct the prejudiced mind against
Great Britain, in view of the propa-
ganda now being carried on in this
country by the Irish Traitors to
humanity in the World War and the
un-Americanized Irish immigrants and
their descendants in this country, in
cident to the celebration of Jackson
Day.
President Jackson's Policies
Andrew jackson was not only a mil
itary hero, but a noted Judge, Con-
gressman and U. S. Senator of great
force and courage much needed with
nractical common ems in pioneer
DAYS. His administration began a new
epoch in the nations history. he was
the first illiterate, self-made man OF
natural ability without school educa-
tion to become President. AS Presi-
dent he believed the administration
should have in office men loyal in party
principles to help carry out his policy.
When John C. Calhoun, a Democrat,
elected Vice President with him In
1898. threatened to have his State,
South Carolina, resist the collection OF
The tariff tax at the port of Charles
ton. to nullify the laws of Congress
and secede, President jackson scared
Calhoun by threatening to hang him
