A
- By comparison with the old style
of spread eagle oratory with which
the speakers on the 4th of July oc
casions formerly “held their audi
ences spell bound,” the address of
Mr. R. H. Ferrell of Albany made
here last Tuesday may have suf
fered some in oratorical pyrotech!
nics, but for a chaste and clear call
for true patriotism and Americar-
ism the elegant and eloquent effort
of this gifted young- gentleman is
seldom excelled. If it be true that
as a nation we are growing less
patriotic in our habit of thought,
if we had more often the privilege
of hearing anew the' splendid stress
put upon our best ideals it would
lift us into a better civic life.
