the democratic principle came int
the world.
Jefferson but expressed the spiri
OF the people, the unwritten law O
nature, when he composed his i'm
mortal document. When, in &C,
cordance with the orders OF Wash
ington, the declaration OF independ
ence was read at the head OF the
colonial army the soldiers were in
spirtd to increased exertion because
it touched popular chord. Thence
forth the revolutionary war was
fought upon higher plane. twas
q war to establish the fact that mo
man is good enough to rule another
man without his consent" There
were two great elemental principles
involved in the revolutionary con-
flict:
/. Governments derive their Just
power from the consent OF the gov
erned.
2. Taxation without represen-
tation is tyranny" And the prac-
teal application Of these principles
necessitated a written constitution,
wherein the powers of the govern
ment and the natural rights of the
people should be expressly defined.
During the past three years many
men, eminent in the counsels Of the
dominant party, have repeatedly re-
nounced the fundamental principles
which inspired the revolutionary
conflict and made it an epoch max
ing war. We, as a nation, are en-
gagged in precisely the same work
which infiamed the colonies to re-
sistance to the Injustice and oppres-
sion Of Great Britain. We have
given George III and Lord North

some beautiful music by the Star
Band on the court house cupola,
and nobody in Jasper, who could be

Union station on Main street by the
Star Band and several hundred peo.
Iple, and procession formed and
marched to the upper end Of town,
where conveyances Of all kinds were
ready to take people to the Lake.
At 1920 the crowd was very
large, and was called to order by
Mr.. j. l.. Brett, who made short
speech about the observance OF the
day, and the program Of exercises
in the grove and on the Lake. He
then introduced Prof. Z. F. Suther-
land, who read to the public the I'm
mortal Declaration of independence.
This was followed by the Band con.
cert, which had selected appropriate
music, and rendered it as only the
Star Band can. Then came the
Lake Horse Race, which was unique
and very amusing. There were six
entries, viz: The yellow barrel, by
Lawrence Soluble; bay barrel, by
Jacob Hollander; a white, by JOS

in bathing suits corresponding in
color to their barrels, and ranging

The Spirit Of 1776.

NOTWITHSTANDING yesterday, the
heretofore GLORIOUS 4th" common.
orative of the Immortal Declaration
Of the pure, courageous founders of
the Republic, was generally OBJ
served as q day Of frolic and fun,
through the manipulations Of Re-
publican leaders, instead of one to
inculcate patriotism, and impress
upon the People the truth that
"eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty" yet there are some old
fashioned lovers Of liberty who did
not fail 10 re-read and recall to
memory the great Declaration of
our forefathers, and note how far a
trust-governed People had swerved
therefrom. The Indianapolis Sen
tinel truly says it will be recalled
that one year ago some republican
politicians, fearing the effect OF the
traditional celebration in which are
emphasized those principles which
were enunciated on July A, 1915,
conceived the idea Of perverting the
purposes OF the occasion, az a mat
ter Of political discretion. Hence
the edict went forth that on our ma
tai day the people Of each commun-
ity should meet and discuss pioneer
history and the crops! It was a po-
litical trick Of the lowest order.
The peculiar glory OF this day is
that it witnessed the advent Of
new philosophy philosophy preg-
nant with promise to the toiling
masses throughout the world.
When Thomas Jefferson penned the
Declaration Of independence he
crystallized the sentiment which a
long intercourse with untainted ma
ture had instilled into the hearts Of
our early pioneers. These men had
come to America because they
found themselves out OF tune with
the snobbery and superstition, the
artificiality and persecution Of Eu-
ropean society. In Europe they
were taught that some few men,
whose ancestors had been success
full pirates and brigands, had bee n
ordained Of God TO rule with arbi-
trary power the great common peo-
pie; that governments are superior
to, and not amenable to those they
govern; that public policy is beyond
the popular comprehension, and |
that 1.-THE king can do no wrong"
In the wild American woodland |
they gradually threw off the con-
tamination Of this philosophy and |
their minds began TO partake Of the |
largeness and liberty which envir-
oned them. They began TO see
things in their proper proportions,
and royalty and nobility became to
them but contrivances whereby the
masses were oppressed. Independ-
emit Of royal power they scorned to
bow obeisance to its mandate. They
learned to love their liberty and
then proclaim it. They became
convinced Of their political equality
and announced it. They unraveled
the complicated plot Of aristocracy,
and found that governments are but
human institutions meant for the
benefit Of the people, and subject to
such alterations as their interest
might demand. They carried the
principles OF the magma charta 10
their logical conclusions, and thus

This autumn Paul Kruger, the
greatest figure upon the contempor.
ary stage, will visit New York city
as the guest Of the democratic par
ty, and later on he may make a
tour OF the country in the interest
OF South African liberty. The pro
British press of America has derid-
ed the personal appearance Of the
Boer leader, but it has never found
aught to condemn in his principles
and career. Kruger is probably as
uncouth in his dress and as awk.
ward in his manners as our own

which has inspired American SOL
diers on every creditable battlefield
in our history. He will 60 down in
history as one OF the colossal men

remembered as champion Of liber-
ty and q bencfactor of mankind.
The time was when a visit from
Kruger would have set this cont
nent on fire. States and cities
would have competed for the honor

The Executive Board of the
Workers Will Meet
Tomorrow.
MAY CALL STRIKE OFF
Conditions Today Remain About the
same-Watch Attempts to Open
Mills and Prevent Return of Men to
Work--Information Refused.

Pittsburg, July 29.-Conditions in
the steel strike today are about as
they have been since the opening Of
hostilities. There was the same care
taken in watching any attempt to op-
en- the mills now closed and prevent,
if possible, the return of the men, or
securing non-unionists from the plants
in operation.
President Shaffer and Secretary
Williams were at Amalgamated head
quarters early this morning but beyond
admitting that a call had been sent
out to all members of the executive
board for a meeting here tomorrow,
they refused to give any information
as to probable settlement of the
strike. 1t is the general opinion,
however, that negotiations for peace,
vii, result in a cessation of hostilities
and resumption of work.
