Sho drained it to the leoa; Tintic Miner: Senator Cannon has proven loyal to the trust placed with him by the people of Utah. Wo want no more Arthur Prowns. Her faithless guns that morn awoke The Dragon of tho Seas. Wasatch Wave: Last week's Pee asks the Payson Header if it does on every confernot "know that the church authorities get a rake-of- f ence ticket sold." We will ask the Pee man if he knows that they do? From sea to sea ho ravaged far, A scourge with flaming breath Whereer the Spaniard sailed his ships. Sailed Francis Drake and Death. (Have it from both sides; thats all). Price Advocate: The Administration is not worrying over the expense. The Administration holds that the foreigners pay our taxes, and war would be in the nature of a joke on the foreigners. Every Republican who believes in the free coinage of silver and protection of American products is good enough to command the Standard's support for office. If Senator Cannon is that kind of a Republican, it will give us pleasure to hoist his name at the head of our columns. Ogden Standard: Living Issues: The Populists last year fused with the Democrats. Now the Democrats have kicked them out, and there is a proposition on foot to fuse with the Republicans this year. We have not heard of it yet, but we will not be surprised to hear of them considering a proposition to fuse with the Salvation Army. Why not? of the evil of church influence in ters, the following from the Provo Enquirer is quoted: Spanish subAs a further evidence civil mat- scription lists opened and liberally supported in France give an cation of Catholic support in the contest now on with Spain." indi- Logan Nation: Spain is poor, weak and despised. Her four per cent bonds are selling at less than 50 cents on the dollar. She has a few ships, but she has less than twenty million people, nearly half of whom are paupers. The most astonishing fact in history is the nerve shown by Spain in goading Uncle Sam to the point of attack. And in justification of our countrys action it can be said that Spains blind brutality has gone beyond all bounds of patience. THE DRAGON OF THE SEAS. They say the Spanish ships are out To seize the Spanish main; Reach down the volume, boy, and read The story oer again. How when the Spaniard had the might, He drenched the earth, like rain, With human blood, and made it death To sail the Spanish main. No port was safe against his ire, Secure no furthest shore; The fairest day oft sank in fire Before the Dragons roar. He made th Atlantic surges red Round every Spanish keel; Piled Spanish decks with Spanish dead, The noblest of Castile. From Del Fuegos beetling coast To sleety Hebrides, He hounded down the Spanish host, And swept the flaming seas. He fought till on Spains inmost lakes Mid orange bowers set, La Manchas daughters feared to sail Lest they the Dragon met. King Philip, of his raven reft, As forfeit claimed his head; The great queen laughed his wrath to scorn, And knighted Drake instead. And gave him ships and sent him forth To clear the Spanish main For England and for Englands brood, And sink the fleets of Spain. And well he wrought his mighty work Till on that fatal day, He met his only conqueror, In Nombre Dios Bay. There, in his shotted hammock swung, Amid the surges sweep, He waits the lookouts signal Across the quiet deep. I With torch and steel, with stake and rack, He trampled out all truce, Until Queen Bess her leashes slipt, loose. And let her sea-do- gs God! how they sprang! And how they tore! The Grenvilles, Hawkins, Drake! Remember, boy, they were your sires! They make the Spaniard quake. They sprang, like lions, for their prey, Straight for the throat, amain! By twos, by scores, whereer they caught They fought the ships of Spain. And dreams of dark Ulloas Bay And Spanish treachery; And how he tracked Magellan far Across the unknowm sea. But if Spain fires a single shot Upon the Spanish main, Shell come to deem the Dragon dead Has waked to life again. Thomas Nelson Page in Washington Post. Allan T. Richard B. Shepard.
