Tho llttlo kingdom has led tho "strenuous

For, It may bo remarked hero, that the
word Holland is rather n misnomer.
Many centuries ago, about tho tlrno that
William tho Norman was preparing to In

Illatury In Kicltlug-.
The history of Nedcrland or shall wo not
admit and yet pcrpotuato tho error and call
it Holland? In oxcltlng and deeply stirring.
Briefly, It may bo summed up as follows:
Various counts and dukes held possession
until tho fourteenth century, when It be
came a part of tho great duchy of Bur
gundy, which comprised so much of what is
now northern and northeastern Krnnce;
thence, it passed to tho hoiiBo of Hapsburg
of Clormnny and then to Chnrlcs V of Ger
many, who becamo Charles I of Spain, under
whom Spain wns at tho zenith of hor glory,
flovolts followed as tho result of tho tyran
nical courso pursued by the Spaniards, dur
ing which tho Infamous duko of Alva
brought to Holland tho bloody machinery ,ot
tho Inquisition and caused streets to run
with blood of his hundreds of victims. Un
der William tho Silent, but only after many
years of warfare, twclvo years of truer,
then uioro years of hitter struggle, Spain
acknowledged tho independeuco of tho
Dutch republic conquered by Franco In
1701, ruled by Louis Napoleon In 1S0G, an
uexed to Franco In 1810, Joined with Bel
glum In 1815, to bo separa'tcd In 1S20; ruled
today by tho remaining representative ot
tho house of Orange, a direct descendant of
William tho Silent. Kven this record docs
not touch upon tho ono continual conflict
that theso bravo people havo fought all these
years, namely, to wrest now land from tho
sea and to defend themselves from con
tinual encroachments.
Not always have they bcon successful.
Catastrophes of tho most nppalllng naturo
havo occurred numberless times, even into
tho nineteenth century. Provinces havo
been overwhelmed, cities nnd villages de
stroyed, thousands of Inhabitants drowned,
vast values In wealth ruthlessly dissipated,
yet. with unbounded energy and Indomitable
will, tho ravages of tho waves havo been
restored, tho i dykes rebuilt, tho land re
claimed and rfepopulatcd and mado to blos
som llko tho rose.
Well may the Hollanders say, "Cod mado
the sea, but tho Dutch havo mado tho land."

The country ot Hollnnd Is ns small as

About ono-balf tho slzo of South Caro

ation of about 4,500,000 Is supported, but
this by no means represents tho slzo of
tho Nederland republic. Next to tho Eng

Tho size of Nederland proper is annroxl-

Is as changeable as tho area of a Nobrnska
farm bordered by tho Missouri river. Hov-
lug no coal, wood or stone, vast tracts of
land aro dug for peat for fuel, or clay for
bricks, and these low places become lakes.
In turn, these aro dyked nnd pumped dry
and bccouio arable, land again.
The sea Is a constant menace and miles
and miles of dykes of ston and earth
nro built and constantly watched to pre

Tho river Uhlue, born of glaciers in the
Alps, fed by crystal lakes of Switzerland

Bea tlirough dovlous nnd winding ways.

Uadu.' William tho Silent tho downfall

Vet Philip II, son of Charl I. mir

tho prince passed o'n, and entertained his

Tho assassin wns pursued and captured
as he was about to Jump Into tho caual, on
the opposite sldo of which a boat awaited
him.
In reply to the epithet "Internal traitor'
he replied! "I cm no traitor, but tho faith
ful servant of my lord nnd master, the
king of Spain."
Arrogant and boasting to the last, tho
wretch exclaimed, when ho heard a false
report that the prince had not been fatally
wounded, "Accursed be tho hand that
missed the stroke;" nnd even when under
going torturo on tho rack prior to being
beheaded he boasted again of his deed.
Ho repeatedly confessed to his Judges

clarcd that had ho not killed the prlnco

Thus perished William tho Silent, a Ko-

When tho sturdy spirits of colonial duy3
met In Philadelphia to framo that declara
tion which nnnounced their sovernuoe from
allegiance to Kngland, they had for a pat
tern tho republic of Holland, which, 200
years previous, had mado a declaration of
mut-penuence, anu had since governed

gagos, local self-government from town and
state to tho government of governments at
nusmngion, tno common school system
freedom of religion and of the press, as well
ns numerous other dotalls of the Dutch sys
tem. Yot many of tho faults of tho Neder
land plan wero avoided.
In tho Dutch constitution the stndtholder
(king or ruler) could not be impeached, thus
enabling him to bo practically Independent
of the people. Franklin nolnlefl m.f n,n
gravity of this, as well as tho difficulty flint

power had two heads.

In tho United States both dim ctlltlpR nr

of America aro more llko Holland than any
other country.
The Dutch declaration of Indenenilpnro.
called tho "act of abjuration."
July 26, 1581, and is In many ways n ro
markablo document and ono with which the
American people 6hould bo more familiar.
Written nt a time when the dlvlno riciit nf
kings wns unquestioned and tbo criticism of
tho established religion was danenrntm nmi
heretical, It contnlus many striking phrases.
While more prolix than our own declaration
nud having not that pointed, direct, forceful
diction that Is so significant, it Is unmis
takable In Its Intentions.
"As it 13 apparent to all that n nrlnpA
Is constituted by God to bo a ruler of n nnn.
pie, to defend them from oppression nnd vlo
lenco ns a shepherd his sheep; nnd, whereas,
uou am not create the peoplo slaves to their
prlnco, to obey his commands, whether right
or wrong, nut ratner tne prince for tho sake
of bis subjects (without which ho could be
no prlnco), to govern them according tn
equity, to love and support them as a father
his children or n shepherd his flock, nnd
oven nt tho hazard of llfo to defend nnd
prrscrvo them. And when ho doe3 not be
have thuB, but, on tho contrary, onnressea
them, seeking opportunities to Infringe their
ancient customs nnd privileges, exacting
from thorn slavish compliances, thon ho is
no longer a prince, but a tyrant, and tho
siiDjccts are to consider him in no other
view. And particularly when this Is dono
deliberately, unauthorized by the Stutes,
they may not only disallow his authority.
but legally proceed to tho choice of another
prince for their defense.
"This is tho only method left for subjects
whoso humhlo petitions nnd remonstrances
could novcr soften their prlnco or dlssuado
him from his tyrannical proceedings; nnd
this Is what tho Inw of nature dictates for
tho defenso of liberty, which wo ought to
transmit to posterity oven nt the hazard of
our lives."
It is difficult to refrain from nuotlnc fur
ther. Surely tho snmo blood that flowed in
the writers of this declaration (lowed In tho
veins of thoso who penned thnt other fa
mous declaration In Philadelphia two cen
turies later. '
Lord Somers, tho English .statesman who
framed tho declaration of rights which nro-
clalmed tbo abdication or James II and tho
divergence of succession from his sons to
William and Mary (under whom the crowns
of Kugland nnd Holland were'united) used
this declaration as his model.
Surely this should ho tnoro familiar to
every American who Is proud of his own
country's achievements, for hero he finds
much that prompted and suggested It.
At Zaandam, tho great and in fact only
point of Interest Is tho cabin where onco
lived temporarily Peter tho Great, czar of
Russia.
Story U ruiullliir.
Tho story Is familiar to every school bov.
Flushed with successes over Tartars and
Turks, having extended his cmplro se
curely beyond the Urals, after his tri
umphal entry Into Moscow, Poter turned
his eyes toward western Kurope. not for
conquest, but to become acquainted wllh
tho higher civilization nnd the methods by
wnicn nis cmpiro couiu become great by
some other means than contiuual warfare
against nomadic nnd snvago tribes. Accom
panied by n retinue of somo Blxty persons
ha traveled through Germany, Austria, tho
Nelherlandu nnd l!nelaml.
In advance ot his suite bo arrived at j
Amsterdam nlone nnd Incognito, visiting
tho famous arsenals. At this tlmo Holland
wns pre-eminent In tho art ot shipbuilding
and her sailors and discoverers were
traversing all the seas of the globe, In
this Peter saw a power that would mako
Hussta great also.
Disguising himself nnd under an as
sumed name, ho entered the shipyard of
Mynher Kalf as an ordinary workman,
worked In wood, Iron and cordage, dressed,
ato and slept exactly ns his fellow labor
ers did and lived In the cabin which Is stilt
shown.
Tho energy of the czar Is shown In that
during a yenr In Kanndam and Amsterdam
ho studied mathcmntlcs. physics, geogra

pentry and shipbuilding.
How well ho succeeded In all branches
It Is hard to say, but on bis return to

founded nnd rrom that day tho empire of
Ilussla began Its upward nnd advancing ca

terms nro Dutch. During tho stay of Peter

mother was n natlvo Nedorlandcr, Inter

SyiuriiitliUR tvlth Colonies. .
From tho beginning of tho American
revolution tho sympathies of tho Dutch
people wero with tho struggling colonies
They, too, hnd suffered taxation without
representation, had felt tho oppressor's heel
and had smnrted under tho tyranny of un
Just rulers.
They had founght, bled nnd died for In
dependence nnd freedom, and their hearts
went out to any nation undergoing the
same throes.
Then, too, the Pilgrim Fathers had fled
from Kngland to Holland, whoro they
round shelter and refuge, nnd left only be
cause tho cessation of the truce with Spain
promised a contlnuanco of sanguinary war
fare. So from Holland, by tho way ot
I'lymouiii, tno rilgrlm Fathers hnd sailed
away to establish a new home In America,
carrying with them tho best wishes of their
Dutch friends.
Here, too, two years after peace was
declared with Spain, Holland had changed
her flag from one of orange, whlto nnd
blue, to ono ot red, whlto and bluo, and
tho sturdy Dutchmen must havo felt b
thrill of prldo to seo tho same colors In
tho flag of tho new republic.
