Kings Mountain and Yorktown are

Kings Mountain and Yorktown are
dimly remembered.
Yet we may be sure that of the null
titudes of recent arrivals in the
United States there are many whose
steps have been guided by the ideals,
symbols and names which to US are
vague or forgotten. The valuable
things that young Europe is learning
here are acquired not from young
America, but from old America. The
landmarks of liberty which young
America fails to see or ignores are
still plain enough to the young Eli
rope transplanted into America
There are fading emblems in the
case of young Europe also, but they
are of crowns and coronets, thrones
and scepters, divine right and priv
ilege, a shackled press and stifled
speech. To those who hunger and
thirst for liberty and opportunity the
old American emblems blaze afar To
those who are surfeited with liberty
or unappreciative of it they fade and
die.

Men That Made History

The proposal that there be erected

ers of the Declaration Of Independence
makes especially interesting some
little-known facts concerning that par
ticular body of men.
There were Sc signers, and among
them were lawyers. merchants, physi-
clans, farmers, soldiers, a shoemaker.
a sailor, a minister, a printer and a
surveyor, and two signers whose oc-
cupation was set down at the time as
statesmen" The statesmen were
Thomas Nelson, Jr., of Virginia and
William Williams Of Connecticut.
The shoemaker was Roger Sherman
Of Connecticut. the printer was Ben
jamin Franklin of Pennsylvania. tho
surveyor was John Morton Of Penn

was John Witherspoon Of New Jersey

Duty of Citizens of Today.

The busts and portraits of Wash.
ington and of Jefferson, draped with
the Stars and Stripes, appear in the
windows always on the eve of the
Fourth of July. We do we'll thus to
honor the fathers, but there is a sug-
gestion in these solemn representa-
tions Of the giants of the past that the
duty of devotion to the country's high
est interests, or at least the greatest
constructive task of craftsmanship,
was somehow finished up in the per-
sons of the founders, and that all we
neeo do is to look at their marble
ef1gies now and then, and once year
commemorate their achievements. But
is this true? Has everything been
done and settled in the foundation and

himself for life with the sublime or

But to all this she merely cast down
her eyes demurely and asked him to
wait awhile.
A score and one-half years had come
and gone around the life of Susan. AS
her 31st birthday approached John,
who had schemed until his hair was
beginning to fall out, decided on a
bold stroke.
That night he sat with her on the
front porch, after the family had re-
tired. Over them a dim light shining
from the parlor window cast a pale
glow. John sat quietly waiting for the
silence he depended on for the fur
therance of his plan.
After awhile it came, and then,
when the stiffness had locked the
Eight in its embrace, he began to hum,
Silver Threads Among the Gold"
When he haC ceased, tears stood in
his eyes.
He drew his chair closer to hers,
reached out for her hand again and
asked her to become his wife But
it was the same old prosaic answer.
Wait awhile, John" she insisted.
Wait awhile. Do something grand.
Show me that you can rise to the oc-
casion."
Rise to the occasion, he would. He
resolved that firmly as he stood up
forthwith and babe her goodnight. He
resolved 1t all the way home. The
next morning he still resolved it. But
how?
A happy thought struck him. John
had a penchant for happy thoughts.
He would make a speech at a Fourth
of July celebration. 1t would be so
grand and so eloquent, couched in
such rich expressions, and 50 laden
with noble sentiment that she could
not help but feel the appeal He would
show her that he could rise to the

John got out his old school diction-

volume of masterpiece orations from
a friend and read every speech he
could find that contained any patriotic
reference or expression.

EMBLEMS MUST NOT FADE
Duty of Americans to Hold High For
ever the Glory Handed Down by
Their Forefathers.
Here's to him!

7 T WAS the practice of Americans
for many years to observe the
Fourth of July patriotically.
4 Their celebrations did not con
sist of noise alone. Attending all the
music, cannonading, bell ringing and
marching there was an intellectual
feature that heartened the old and
inspired the young.
In the uproariOus festivities of ear
lier times the treasured emblems and
trophies of liberty were all in sight
for one day at least, and by recurring
to the principles Of the Declaration
everybody's knowledge of and faith in
the doctrines that gave this continent
q measure of freedom and justice were
strengthened and renewed, says the
New York World. If these emblems
are fading the fault is due more to
our native-bcrn inhabitants, who
think they have learned all the lessons
OF liberty, than to the millions CT new
corners, whose minds are still open
and whose eyes are still keen.
What proportion of the rising gen
Grafton knows or has accepted the
''self-evident truths upon which the
republic rests
THAT all men are created equal?
That they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienabIe
rights?
That among these are life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness?
! That to secure these rights govern
ments are instituted among men, de-
irving their just powers from the con
sent Of the governed? And
That whenever any form Of govern
ment becomes destructive of these
ends it is the right of the people to
alter or to abolish it, and to institute
new government, laying its founda-
