TM retail f this cooMlct with fipln are
likely to be farreschlna In shaping tho
futsre polldes or the United State We
hajre asserted ourselves Just at a critical
age of the irorlds history and have
acted vrtlh such disregard ot the wishes or
criticism of Europe that we have astonish-
ed aome of the Old World people
The moral effect of our conduct will un-
doubtedly be to add to the political and
military prestige ot tho Nation In caio we
give a good account ot ourselves In battle
and win a comparatively prompt and de-
cisive victory over our antagonist Europe
has looked upon us as Kipling has Inti-
mated as n big fat republic with plenty
of money but llttlo martial spirit and al-
most defenseless against attack It has
been assumed we would stand more Insult
than the other largo nations except China
and that It would be next to Impossiblo to
arouse us to a war point
This has unquestionably been tho prevail-
Ing opinion In nurope outsldo of Eng-
land
This aggressive action towards Spain
followed by an exhibition ot military nnd
naval skill and prowess nnd a display of
our great and ready resources will open
tho eyes ot the world to tho realization
that America Is one ot tho big powers In
war as well as In pcaco Tha fact will
commnnd for uu greater rcjfpcct throughout
Hurope and Asia than wo havo heretofore
enjoyed and result in larger Bafety ot our
citizens and our Interests abroad
Tho phjBlcal effects llkewlao arc cer-
tain to bo of surpassing Importance It Is
posslblo that wo may nt least add Porto
Hlco to our territory thus giving uj n
strong naval station In tha Went Indies
nnd increasing our tit tensive and ofenMo
strength boh ns rogimlit tho Oulf of Mox
Uo and Central and South America Tho
freedom ot Cuba and our ownership of tho
rich Island of Porto Rico will add possibly
5i0000000t to our shipping trnitc within a
jenr after hostilities hao closed nud open
up a commerce In tha West Indiei capable
ot Indeflnltn expansion
nut tho commercial nnd polltlcnl crtccts
will not slop with tho Went Indies It
soems to ho the determination to scire Ha-
waii for war purposos nnd tho sugges-
tion Id advanced that wo shall tnhe nnd
hold also tho Phlllpplno Islnnds This
would add another hundred millions or no
to our shipping trade Tho Philippines
uro rich and contain a population ot nbout
0000000 ninny of the people however
being only savages Their commaco Is
largo nnd ns a bnso for nnvil and commer-
cial establishments ot this country the
Islands would plnca us In n commanding
position for controlling n groat Kastorn
trade caching far Into tho Asiatic conti-
nent
Hut theao Pacific possessions would
throw us necessarily Into tho politics of
the Kast and compel us to maintain a largo
navy nnd possibly to Join with Kugland
In dominating tho Orient
Tho prospects thoiefore for our com-
ing out of our shell ot Isolation so to
spcuk and Inking a conspicuous port In thu
future political and catunWclnl dovolop
mouta of tho world aro ouollent Our In
tonstii aro becoytilng loo worldnldo and

In elghtoen hundred and thtrtyslx by
Mexico oppressed
There was no other way but war to havs
our wrongs redressed
Some Tcxnns foil in battlo nnd some were
basely slain
On Santa Annas lecord a dark disgraceful
stain
Then to the front came Houston a leader
bravo Indeed
Nobly he holped tho Texans In time of
greatest need
With Ws Intrcnld soldiers ho conquered In-
field
And haughty Santa Anna to him wns
forced to jlclrt
That twentyfirst of April should nocr

Then in tha now Republic twlco Houston

Of president tho highest gift within tho

And after on tho Banner of Hod and White

Tho Lone Star jolnod tho others as It xvns
best to do
Wo choso Sam Houston governor he wag
so true and bravo
And zealously from trouble he worked his
Stato lo save
Then Toxns left the Union and ohoso foi
governor Clarke
But Houston still was loyal In days with
war clouds dark
True to tho voice of duty firm for his
faith be stood
Through hato and bitter censure strove
for hl3 countrys good
But from all strife nnd trouble death came
and set him free
In the light of a July morning In eighteen
and sixtythree
Before li3 was called to enter the City of
Rest nbov
Houston spoke to the people ward3 of cour
age and love
And he said Though I am nearly touch
ing Eternitys sea-
My thoughts aro evei with Texaj her
wplfare is dear to me
Ever the children of TexasI pray that
jou may bless
And keep them honest and true and froe
from sins distress
Fully forgiving Injustice that to himself
vas done
Trusting in truth to triumph so was bis
honor won
Now in our list of heroes grateful are we
to claim
Friend statesman and soldier noble Sam
Houstons name
Children with dear bright faces listening

Each of vou may add something to Texas
glory

Where tho llstonlng stranger hears
How our lands first gllmpso of sunshine

How widowed wives heartstrlckcn

For their countrys ransom bore

Nor man nor jouth turned nor looked

Nor grudged lifes blood that stalnod tho

Should palms await tho victors coming
Should vnloi s brow In laurels wreatho
