INVENTIONS are the order of the day, and ac-

this method of considering matters of general
interest to barndom. Many of these took the
form of indignation meetings in which the

THE celebration of the Fourth Of

fact that over century and quar-
ter ago, when the population of our
country was less than three millions
of people, our forefathers with the
deliberation of statesmen and the
bravery of heroes, declared their in
dependence of the mother country,
and against great odds in a hard
fought war Of seven years main
tanned their declaration. 1t is this
act that we celebrate-this begin
ming of our national life which we
remember by our outbursts of en-
thusiasm. 1t is the memory of that
eventful day, Of that noble deed,
which we seek to perpetuate in the
hearts of all.
The very essence of this day is
patriotism. This-and this only
should be the paramount feeling
Of every true citizen of the republic.
It is then that we should take de-
light in our past glories and sue

of our heroes, the accomplishments
of our armies and, while celebrating

ordained in the Cathedral OF Cologne. Out
