The Fourth Abroad.

Very few strictly national holidays
are much observed outside of the coun-
tries which have created them. and our
own Fourth OF July is unique In this
respect, for not only do the Americans

THE DOCTRINE OF THE STATES.
By Ex-Governor ! S. Hogg Of Texas.

There is no power which could swing
back the pendulum OF public opinion
TO the original doctrine of the right OF
the states to enjoy their independent au-
tonomy except a well stimulated public
sentiment. which must be aroused by
a proper return to the old days when
the Fourth OF July was celebrated ac-
cording 10 the plan Of our fathers. For
this reason I would be glad as an of
spring of peace" TO witness a common
celebration among the people of all Sec
tions OF the day on which tho liberties
OF the American people were guaran-
teed under a constitutional form of gov
ernment forever There has been no
day for the past 80 years that could be
celebrated as a national occasion with
out in some way revivir@ the bitter
memories Of the war. For my part
would be glad 10 see Christmas first. in

LIBERTY BELLS FOR ALL THE PEOPLE.
By William jennings Bryan, Late Demo-
cratic Candidate For President.
LINCOLN. Neh.. Iulv ..


l believe that the Fourth OF July
ought To be celebrated as n matter OF
patriotic duty in every community
throughout the United States. The an
nual reading of the Declaration OF In
dependence and the discussion Of the
principles upon which our government
rests will be of great benefi; in arousing
a patriotic interest in the nations well
fare. / am afraid that in some in
stances the occasion is used to draw a
crowd for business purposes. whereas
the people should assemble to celebrate
the day and revive its sacred mem
cries.
ii has occurred TO me that II each
community owned and used at each
celebration a small bell made after the
pattern of the Liberty bell it might add
interest TO the occasion.
