1T is an very well to talk about the /
declaration and the strong sentiment /
which It contributes but that was /
based by mon--men who couldn't (

along these lines:
Patriotism Wanted
I'VE want patriotism and don't
think We arc going 20 lose Il very
soon. although do dcvoutly hope that
ont OF tho pcrils and differences Of
this tune may como a new birth OF
the sentiment of unity ! DO hope that
in the midst of all the troublesome
conditions, we have a better realiza-
ton OF our national strength and OF
the import OF our democratic nstitu-
TONS.
THE boy is going 10 thrill az the
sight Of the alag lust as he did tifty
or a hundred years ago, We are all
going TO thrill when We hear the
words OF our national hymn and when
We think OF the long years OF strug
Rlc and determination that have
brought us TO this hour. But We want
something more than thrills in our
we want thought we
want Intelligence.
We Mood not vast extent of terri
tory not great poulauon not simply
extraordinary statistics OF national
wealth, although they speak In clo-
queut words of energy and managing
ability bul what We ueed more than ,
ANYTHING else is an Intelligent compre- 4
heus,on OF the ideals Of democracy
Those "details ARE that every man shall .
have q tair and equal chance accord !
