II is good custom for our country
to have at least two solemn holl-
DAYS in commcmorstion OF tn. two
greatest crises in our country's
history. On July 9Th we celebrate
the birth of our nation; on May
10th we call to mind the virtues OF
those who died that that nation
might live
Ii IS mete aud proper that We
should do this. The custom o!
s,rewing flowers upon the graves
OF the dead is most beautiful and
filial custom and may be said to
have originated with the Grand
Army OF the Republic. Very little

out the amelioration of the condition
Of the people, until they should have
been rendered capable of more
In 1898, to Mems De Vair and Tan
dens. he wrote: Your residence in
the United states has given you an
opportunity of becoming Acquainted
with the extreme freedom of the press
In these states. Considering it's great
Importance to public liberty, and the
difficulty of subjecting it to very pre-
else rules, the laws nave thought 1T
less mischievous to give greater scope
to it's freedom than to the restraint of
it,
Thus it is seen, that, if the people
of France at that time had learned
the lesson of liberty under law as well
as it had been learned in America s
school of experience, Mr.. Jefferson
suggestions would have been incor-
porated into the law of the land, and
some of the horrors of the French Re
volution might have been prevented.
Mr.. Jefferson's contribution to the
free press was not bounded by geo
graphical lines or limited by any pc
Rod of time. II was for all countries
and all ages In his life, whether la
boring in the land of his birth to OBJ
tain, safeguard and make permanent
the freedom of the press, or seeking
to aid the people of France, cropping
through the darkness with only the
dim CLEAN of q censored press, TO Sc
sure the liberty of speaking and writ
ing which guards all other liberties, -
he was always animated by faith in
the capacity of man to control his own
affairs, and by his oath of eternal
hostility against every form of tyran-
ny over the human mind" His influ-
i11C ,1iI nnNa1fIl co in
his day-did not die when his mortal
body was laid to rest on the summit of
Monticello hard by the home where
his pen had written the appeals, the
resolutions. the States that gave
America its untrammelled press.
Jefferson's services for liberty are
immortal. Wherever men look out of
darkened windows of deSpotic govern
mentS they are cheered by the light OF
Jefferson's Declaration, which pene-
trates and illumines the deepest cell
of civic tyranny. Wherever, III any
decade of the worlds history-yester-
day today, tomorrow-the pen is sub
jected to censorship, the words and
deeds of Jefferson are the bow OF
promise set in the heavens.
AS the years shall pass,
"And the thoughts of men are widen'd
with the process of the suns"
and, one by one the nations that sit in
darkness come into the glorious light
of decentralization of conscience,
freedom of speech, freedom to think
and write and print-the majestic
figure of Jefferson Will loom up as the
inspiring spirit who first breathed into
the printing press theretofore the
unresponsive instrument to further
the DEGREES of kings and bind the con-
science and thoughts of men)-the
breath of life, and made it responsive,
sentient, virile. free. In this new life
that dates from Jefferson, this free
press has become the champion of the
oppressed, the teacher of the young.
the guide of the mature, the comfort
of the aged. and the mightiest power
for good that blesses and shall ever
bless mankind.
