Gov. Clough's Ad lress.
On the anniversary of the Nation s
birthday, the people who meet together
should come with a double purpose.
Theirs IS two fold heritage. They must
preserve undimned the glories Of the past,
and transmit totheir posterity unchanged
and unweakcned the grand ideas of the
Great Republic. They must warn the
generation which now occupies the stage
of action and that which is to follow it
,f the dangers that threaten it if, for one
moment, We forget all the deep signih-
canoe of the Fourth Of July. This is
Independence Day. This is the Nation s
Day.
First of all, therefore, we should re-
member what it is that makes nation,
and why nations in the past, once as
powerful and as glorious as ours, have
sunk into such profound sleep, into such
utter decay, that the bewildered traveller
cannot gather from their ruins trace of
their unrecorded history. We believe it
is written indelibly on every true Ameri-
cans heart, in the continuance of Amer
acan institutions. We believe that this
Republic has been ordained of God and
its course divinely ordered as guide
and beacon nSnC 10 the WOrld. but IL Is
not enough for the fulfillment of that
great hope that we should accept un-
thinkingly what the past has brought to
us and forget the duty, the grave respon-
sibilitv of this hour in the pride that fills
our hearts as we celebrate what the men
of the Revolution have won for us. Not
only to enjoy our heritage but to pre-
serve and magnify it is our part. There
is but one way. There is only one Tails
man that has lead us safely through the
dangers OF the past and that will bring
our hopes to a rich frultion. That rule
of our lives, that seal of our devotion,
