FROM TIE PRESIDENT.

What a mighty nation has been erected
upon the immortal principles of the great
Declaration, the signing of which we cele-
brate todayl We have increased from thir-
teen to forty-five states; from 100000 to
7O0OO,OOO people. We have arisen from
slavery to freedom.
Liberty, labor and love have accomplish
ed it all. Labor has been dignifed and has
vindicated the truth that the best citizen
of every community Is its best citizen. All
men have equal rights granted by our con-
stitution and laws and that equality must
ever be preserved and Strengthened and
everywhere recognized.
We are all Americans, We are all sover-
eigns, equal in the ballot and that citizen
Is the best who does his best; who follows
the light of God given him to see the light;
who comedies to all the races of mankind
what he claims for himself; who rigidly re-
spects the rights of others; who is ever
ready and willing to assist Others who has
the best heart the best character the
greatest charity and sympathy and who
withholds from none of his fellow men the
respect, privileges and protection that he
claims for himself. This is the citizenship
That Is the need of every age, and to which
we must educate ourselves and those who
are to come after us. This Is the citizen
snip and hope of the republic, its security
anu permanency; which is the hope of man
Kind, our own best hope a citizenship that
Is faithful to home and family, devotedy
loyal to country, that encourages the truest
and broadcast national spirit, the most thor
ough and genuine Americanism, that is
every morning onward and upward toward
the highest ideals of modern civilization; a
citizenship that respects law and constitu-
ted authority. that loyalty upholds, guards
and supports the government of which it
Is part, in whose administration its has a
voice, and that rests upon the free choice
and content of the majority of the people
These are the characteristics which pos
sessed the souls of the men who landed in
the Mayfiower, who resisted British oppres-
sion, who promulgated the immortal
Declaration of Independence. -..5

My most glorious Fourths are the ones I

that its patriotism and mine collide. l am
trying to preserve the western trees and to
make forests where plains now are And
how can l do so with company of mis-
chievous youngsters around? Ny most

pendence and we would never have had In
dependence Day. Without the men who
work with their hands we never can keep
Independence. The workingmen of Ameri-
ca should celebrate the Fourth of July this
year and every other year, because 1t is an
anniversary of the birth of the means by
which they can maintain their liberty de-
fend their rights and work out their own
emancipation. They have in the past DEM
onstrated their ability to defend themselves
against those who doubt the wisdom of
government "pf the people, for the people,
and by the people," and because of the
Fourth of July and what it stands for they
will be in a. position to do it again. If oc-
casion ever demands, as long the world
lasts SAMUEL GOMPERS,

DIR. SHRADY'S FOURTH. >
The fact that crops are bad or that legis-
1ation is slow is not a good reason for for
getting to be proud of our biggest achieves
ment as a nation. 1t is true, however, that
we are losing our enthusiasm on the two
occasions, when we ought most to display
1.-THE Fourth of July and Decoration Day.
Each of these, in my opinion, deserves
about as much celebration as the other.
Although do not believe in mere noise on
the Fourth, we ought at least to have big.
parade and a soul-stirring fete. When I
was a boy these things were a delight and
an inspiration to me. On Decoration Day
every veteran who can march should
march, and every other who is able to be
out at all should have place in carriage
in the line To me the grandest expression
of patriotism is lmping veteran with
>~Grand Army button in his lapel. No. hard
times or not we should celebrate the
Fourth of July. Perhaps we won't all of
us be able to buy as many skyrockets, PIN
wheels and Roman candles this year as
usual, but patriotic enthusiasm costs moth
iS ohsOIlte1y the most nOllriShinP
food that can be fed to a nation

Independence Day.
1t is time for Europe to understand that
the American navy is the match for any
navy in the world The sneers over there
are forced, and now we are glad to know
that the land arm of our forces, who do
not fight at 5000 yards, but look into the
very eye of the adversary, has shown
around the hills of Manila that it keeps
pace with the gallant navy.
In the west an impression prevailed that
our New York and eastern millionaires
were a dilly-dally, washy kind of set, but
we have seen the cowbay and the million
aire dash up the slope side by side. We
have discovered that wealth does not ne
cessarily enfeeble or sap the patriotism Of
the American heart. Then, again, we have
witnessed the boys who wore the gray in
81 fighting with the boys who wore the
blue.
And now we have another band of hero
dead. These fallen soldiers ennoble ma
ton more than the achievement OF COM
nierce Believe me, out of this war will
come increased prosperity and a more uni
ted people, possessed of a mighty power
that will insure protection and safety for
all time to come

that OF white governor Tor the luiands'

that this plan viii b. better than when
