What a mighty nation has been erect

great Declaration. the signing OF which
we celebrate today We have increased

and has vindicated the truth that the
best citizen OF every community is its
best citizen. All men have equal rights
granted by our constitution and laws,
and that equality must ever be pre-
served and strengthened and every

We are all Americans, we are all
sOvereigns, equal in the ballot, and that
citizen is the best who does his best;
who follows the light as God gives him
to see the light; who comedies to all
the races of mankind what he claims
for himself; who rigidly respects 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 Withh0lds from none OF his fellow
men the respect. privileges and prOtec-
ton 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 citizenship and hope Of the Re
which IS the hope Of mankind. our own
best hope. a citizenship that is faithful
to home and family. deVOtedly loyal TO
country, that encourages the trues> and
brOadest national spirit, the most thor
Ough and genuine AmeriCanism, that is
ever moving onward and upward to-
ward the highest ideals of modern civ
iEzatiOn; a citizenship that respects
law and constituted authority, that 10y
ally upholds, guards and supports the
Government of which il is a part. in
whose administration it has a voice.
and that rests upon the free choice and
content Of the majority of the people

The com binadon Of fireworks and fire

way that can think of to celebrate the

PATRIOTIC WORDS
FROM ALTGELD.


It is sometimes said that Fourth of
July celebrations have lost their inter
ests. This can never be until civil and
religious liberty cease to be cherished
by mankind But for the events which
We to-day commemorate. those of you
who were born under a foreign flag
would. in all proba bility, not be here;
and instead CT being surrounded by the
comforts, the prosperity. which Gistin-
guish our land, you would stin be
amid the miseries and the poverty that
are the fruit of ages of despotism.
And you. my fellow citizens, who
boast of a long line of American an
cestry. were it not for the events Of
1875. you would not be American cfti-
zens. but you would still be British sub
jects, and instead of governing your
selves and making and unmaking Gov
ernors. Congressman and Presidents.
instead Of retiring to private life Of
fcials, high and low, when they do
not carry out your wishes, you would
be humble suPphcants at the throne of
Great Britain; you would be humbIy

IF there is any day in the calendar

said Mr.. GOmpers, it is the Fourth
of July. The wOrkingmen are the
Drawn of a nation. NO great bat
tie was ever won without them.
No great battle ever can be won
without them Without the men who
work with their hands we would never
have had independence and We would
never have had Independence Day
Without the men who work with their
hands We never can keep independ-
ence- The workingmen of America
should celebrate the Fourth Of July this
year and every other year, because II
is an anniversary Of the birth Of the
means by which they can maintain
their liberty, defend their rights and
work out their own emancipation They
have in the past demonstrated their
ability to defend themselves against
those who doubt the wisdom of govern
ment of the people, for the people and

Fourth of July and what it stands for
they win be in a position to do it again,

world lasts. SAMUEL GOMPERS,

BRYAN'S IDEA.

The celebration of the Fourth of July
will be Of little use unless it leads US to
consider what legislation. if any, is nee
essary to continue and increase the
prosperity of our people.
It is well on each Fourth of July to
have read and considered the Declara-
ton of Independence, especially that
part declaring as one of the self-evi-
dent truths that all men are created
equal" In these times. when special
interests and more influential classes
are demanding. and too often obtain
ing, beneficial legislation, we cannot
keep too constantly in mind the fact
that the hum bIest citizen is entitled to
the same consideration from the Gov
ernment as the greatest.

LETTER.


@%%<%<
There never was a time in our na-
tons history when the celebration OF
Independence Day should so impress
lively remind US of the meaning and sig
nihcance of its cOmmemOr&tion-
The day is celebrated, not because on
the fourth day of July certain English
colonies in America declared their free
dom and independence, but because on
that day the first step was taken on
this continent toward trusting human
government to the control and manage
ment of the people TO be governed This
reflection leads to the further thought
that such a project could never have
been entertained except in the faith and
expectation that those intrusted with
self-gOve-nment would guard and cuI-
tivate that unselfish and self-sacriflcing
devotion to their scheme of govern
ment which is absolutely essential TO its
purity and safety.
1nasmuch as this sentiment is the life
of our institutions, and because they
are threatened with the sitting atmos-
phere of selhshness and cupidity, We
should 30 commemorate Independence
Day as to stimulate and intensity a pa
trfotIc love of our government for its
own sake, while our rejoicing should be
measured by the extent to which We
and all our cOuntrymen are iHbued
with this feeling
