I’ve ploughed the row from end to
end;
I’ve tended each plant and vine.
I’ve gathered fruit from off the plant,
And from the fruit of the vine made
wine.
I’ve driven in the cows and sheep,
The colts and pigs and goats;
I’ve relieved the cows of milk and
cream,
And the sheep of their woolly coats.
I’ve planted fields of oats and wheat,
Os cotton and corn and peas;
I’m blessed with abundance beyond
compare
To the peoples beyond the seas.
I’ve mined my coal and oil and iron,
My copper and lead and steel;
I’ve built my factories far and wide,
And my steam turns many a wheel.
I've sailing on the great high seas
My fleets of ships and boats—
The Stars and Stripes flung to the
breeze,
Cheered by a billion throats.
I’ve made my shores a haven of rest
For the oppressed of all the lands;
I've s tood at the meeting of land and
sea
And called them with beckoning hands.
My emblem of freedom is the eagle
bird,
For he nests upon the crags;
Its symbol is the Stare and Stripes
Among all the world’s great flags.
May my fair land forever stand
As a beacon on Freedom's shore;
And the world be freed of hate and
greed
From now, and forevermore.

ID GREAT BEW«D
I
LONDON, August 29. —Earl Grey,
former governor general of Canada,
died today after a long illness. He
was born Nov. 28th, 1851.
Lord Strathcoma described Earl
Grey as “a statesman and a philan
thropist in the best sense.” His ac
tive career comprised not only the
administration of the government of
Rhodesia and representation of the
British government as governor-gen
eral of Canada, but industrial and fi
nancial operations in the development
of South Africa. One of the most
noted movements to which lie gave
his support, and in which he was a
leading spirit was the Public House
Trust Company of England, an enter
prise desi ned to supplant the ordl- 1
nary saloons for the sale of intoxicat
ing liquor by the establishment of well
conducted public houses and to dis
courage the use of intoxicants by sub
stitution of tea and coffee.
Earl Grey was an intimate friend of :
the late Joseph H. Choate, American
ambassador to Great Britain, often
visited the United States, called upon
Presidents Roosevelt and Taft at
Washington, and declared that he was
a lover of America. This sentiment he
gave as his reason for restoring to the 1
United States a picture of Benjamin
Franklin which had been in possession
of the family since Earl Grey’s great
grandfather. Major-General Charles
Grey, was quartered in Franklin’s!
house in Philadelphia as an officer of
General Howe’s staff during the Revo
lutionary War. The restoration of the
picture was announced by Earl Grey ■
a a banquet tendered to him in New •
York, while he was governor-general •
of Canada. In making the announce- ■
ment he said he believed there were ■
higher laws than .the laws of posses
soin.
Although born an aristocrat, Earl ( •
Grey was very democratic in his sym-
