Little did the comrades of Washington think that the starry banner , ; then meaningless save to one people , then despised and spat upon by 't , many of the monarchies of Eurppe , was destined to encircle the world ; to spread its protecting folds from ocean to ocean ; cross the broad Pacific and coveI ' the islands of that mighty sea , then practically an unexplored waste of waters. . . . .

To its protecting folds flock the downtrodden and oppressed of all nations , and' to all that are worthy it offers a welcoming hand. It represents to-day a world power , greatest in the counsels of nations. A power whose word is unquestioned ; whose might has been proven. But Old Glory has represented more than an expanding nation. It has created a new hope in the breasts of men. It has disputed the God-given rights of kings. It has overthrown the absoluteism of Europe. . I It has driven Spain from the new wQrld , and founded new nations. : It has dictate l equitable terms of peace to nations at war. , : .
