ENGLAND 5 THE
MOTHER OF LIBERTY
THE Aurnoit AND DEFENDER OF
POLITICAL FREEDOM.
One of the Finest Tributes to Our
motherland Ever Printed in a
Foreign Paper,
There have ben many tributes to
France recently in this country, and
none of them has been undeserved
says the Indianapolis News, one a
the leading newspapers of the Middle
Western States. At the Woodstock
Club recently an Englishwoman
pleaded, and most movingly, the cause
of France. Her argument was that if
Americans did not come to the rescue
of French orphans there was danger
that the French nation might become 4.
extinct. When she was asked why
she said nothing for the English, her
answer was that the English were
ticheeemPtglyetisi.eirBglutiettintanisd Snolo•rowrestusorie
why the people of the United States
should not recognize, and with pride
and gratitude, the people of Eng-
land as the author and defender, for
a thousand years, of the liberties of
the world.
First Fight for Liberty.
There is little political liberty that
France and America do not owe te
the men who wrested Magna Charta
from the hands of a craven monarch;
who, a hundred years before tbe
French revolution, cut off the head d
a tyrant king and drove his son frord
England because he was the enemy of
liberty. What we established in our
revolution was nothing more than the
old English liberty, to -which her Ger-
man king had proved a traitor.
Through this country France got,
from England, her idea of political
liberty. It is a glorious thing that
these three great nations are to -day
fighting for that freedom for which
Englishmen have been laboring and
fighting for more than a thousand
years. France, magnificent though
she is, is but a child in the fight. We,,
thank God, inherit a tradition from.
our English ancestors to which we
shall never be false.
Representative Cannon said in the
House last week that his sympathy
was chiefly with Russia which had
always been the friend of this coun-
try. No one will quarrel with him.
Others are firm in their love for
France, and here again no one will
object. But greater than either a
the friend and champion of liberty is
that Government that has its seat
In London, that Government that
tasted freedom before either France
or Russia had dreamed of it. Our
liberty to -day is of English origin.
And we got it from Plymouth Rock
and Jamestown.
Mother of Parliaments.
We look out over the world to -day,
and find that—outside of France—,
the liberty that is worth fighting and
dying for exists in English-speaking
communities. There is no American
who is not perfectly at home in Great
Britain, Canada, Australia, and New
Zealand. Great Britain is the only
power in the western hemisphere of
which we need to take account. Thi
greatest thing about this war is that
it is likely to bring an agreement
that shall bind together the grea
time that a tribute were paid by al
tEhnegelei,sohrisdp.eaIktinisg, i lel° omurnr DoTivneiaoint,sh i go
lovers of liberty to that great natiofi
which is both the mother of liberty
and of Parliaments.
PROVERBIAL WEATHER.
These old English verses are attri-
buted to no less distinguished an au-
thor thanUr. Jenner, the conqueror of
smallpox:
The hollow winds begin to blow,
Tho clouds look black, the glass is low,
• The soot fails down the spaniels sleep,
And spiders from -6-teir cobwebs pee.
I Last night the sun went pale to be ,
The moon in halos hid her head;
Tho boding shepherd heaves a sigh,
For see a rainbow spans the sky.
The walls aro clamp, the ditches smell,
Closed is the pink -eyed pimpernel.
Hark how the chairs and tables crackl
Old Betty's nerves are OD the racic.
Loucl quacks the duck, the peacocks
cry,
The distant hills are seeming nigh.
How restless are the snorting swine,
The busy flies disturb the him;
Low o'er the grass the swallow wings!
