The orator OF the day was the Hon

and well chosen remarks thrilled the
audience and were punctuated through

his remarks were as follows:
The corner stone of the American
republic is equal rights TO all. Battles
Of freedom have been waged for many
centuries, but It was not until that
eventfuI Cay of the Fourth of July,
1875, when a new nation was born
that the principles eff human liberty
were proclaimed to the world. Since
that time the march of progress has
gone ever onward and today nowhere
In the European world can be found a
country which has not been materi-
ally affected by the principles of liberty
declared by our fathers In order that
we may maintain and preserve this
country of ours we must adhere to the
ideals that actuated them. We must
great and grand because we have
recognized the dignity OF labor The
moment we allow artificial distfnc-
tions to grow into our national life
the moment we measure a man by
other than his native ability and worth
and manhood, we SOW the seeds of dis
ruption and decay.
II was said in early days and is
equally true now. that eternal vigi-
lance is the price of liberty. If we
would preserve our liberties, we must
be ever vigilant TO defend and protect
them. 1t is the duty of every Ameri-
can citizen to take an intelligent part
in the affairs of the Government The
proper form of Government depends
upon and is governed by public opin-

when the perpetuity of the Union was
