T$HUS wrote Thomas Jefferson for

MUS wrote YnOmaS JEFFERSON Tor
the Continental congress in the
famous Declaration of Independ-
ence. It was signed at Independence
hall, Philadelphia, July 4, 1776. With
the pealing Of old Liberty bell that
summer day the birth of a new nation
was announced. Like her sturdy sons,
that nation was conceived in hardship.
Her heritage of devotion to principle
was the noblest gift brought by the
MayfloWer. Innate courage grew fear
less in the face of constant danger,
and her sons grew skillful by constant
toll. They craved not courtier favors
but demanded the right to develop
along the lines of a new democracy the
nation then born. Contact with the
wilderness had taught them that
'Tis as easy to be heroes as to sit the idle
slaves
OF legendary virtue carved upon our faith
erS' graves
For them to be convinced was as
though the thing had been decreed Of
God. They were convinced and they
proclaimed their birthright by declar-
ing their independence and then fight
ing for it against one of the proudest,
strongest nations Of the earth.
Nation Wholly Worthy.
It was inevitable that such begin
ming should produce a nation of stall
warts. What they lacked in knightli-
ness they made up in manliness. De-
vOtion to principle left no room for
compromise with policy. The result was
a people chosen by fitness for great
place in the economy of the worlds
progress.
At this season we celebrate the an
niverSary of the nations birth. The
140 anniversaries since then have not
all been to our credit. We have turned
from the serious to the frivolous, the
national birthday has become a carni-
val. In the name of patriotism all
kinds of follies have been permitted.
Instead of real honor to the nation the
day has been made an occasion for
gain. People have made for themselves
hardship in a vain attempt to have
more noise than their neighbors make.
Fitting Celebrations.
But we rejoice in the change to be
noticed in the way of observing the
nations birthday. People are begin
ming to see that noise is not patriotic
and that the youth of the present need
a better ideal of independence day.
In most Of the large cities men of
prominence and foresight are arrang-
ing for public games. What could be
