beautiful flag the school sang bally round the flag and hannah 0 plattrecited"01d glory't natal day the principal address of the day was made by charles heber clark of con shohocken the speaker started by say ing every man has an affection for home — for his town his county etate anc country he who has no love for hi country the poet says his soul is dead this is the greatest country on the glob — great for two reasons : first our peo fie are allowed to govern themselves n ambler the people have control o their own affairs — the principle of self government second we have become great because we have recognized the di vine principle of equality of men equal ity of right and privilege brings with i equal it of obligation the speaker said we need fear no war with any foreign nation we are too great and too strong no power or com bination of powers dare attack us the foes we have are of our own household the great danger is corruption in our government the theory of our govern ment is that the best men of the com munity should be sought out nnd dele gated to make laws for the people but the practical thing we have to deal with is the fact that the man who wants an office goes about the community and seeks delegates then he has to seek the sanction of a boss no self-respect ful person will place himself under such influence mr clark handled the state legislature without gloves he said it was a stench in the nostrils of every honest man he referred in a bcathing man ner to the man who took money from the state treasury that did not belong to him and a county convention applaud ed him and liaid he did right too much devotion to party and too little de votion to country is perilous said he and the man who votes for a bad man simply becauso he was nominated by a party is a traitor to his country governor hastings was held up as the strong man who stood between the cor rupt legislature and the people using the veto power to crubh vicious legisla tion i'nless this corruption in our leg islation ceases our government will go down but the remedy will come at the hands of the people the fife and drum corps closed the program with a selection and the
