"HUS wrote Thomas Jefferson for
the Continental congress in the
famous Declaration of %Independ-
ence. 1t was signed at Independence
hall, Philadelphia, July 4, 177G. 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
Mayfiower. Innate courage grew fear
less in the face of constant danger,
and hsy 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
IT'S as easy to be heroes as to sit the idle
slaves
or 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 1t against n of the ~proudest,
strongest nations of the earth.
Nation Wholly Worthy.
1t was inevitable that such a begin
ming should produce q 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
40 anniversaries since then, have not
all been to our credit. We have turned
from the serious to the frivolous, the
national birthday has become q 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
anu that the youth or tine present need
q better ideal Of Independence day.
In most Of the large cities men of
prominence and foresight are arrang-
ing for public games. What cogld be

PLANFORF0OTBlLL
GAME THURSDAY

At a meeting of the army and
navy life activities committee held In
the chamber of commerce yesterday
afternoon plans for the great double
header football game on Thanksgiv-
ing were completed, and indications
point to record breaking attendance,
as interest is at top pitch, and many
tickets are being sold.
Through the cooperation of local
hardware dealers arrangements have
been made for fencing off the grid
ifron, so that the crowd may not surge
across the field obstructing the vision
of others.
In arranging the field for specta-
tors, ample room has been allotted for
parking cars, and it is estimated that
more than zoo can be accommodated
each with an average of four pas
sengers.
Tickets have gone on sale, and are
selling rapidly. The only trouble be-
ing apparently that the supply will
not hold out, for the field cannot ac-
conlmodate more than five thousand
spectators, and only enough tickets
have been printed to care for the &C
tual capacity Of the field. For this
reason, those who intend going to the
game are urged to buy tickets at
once, from any drug store or cigar
store, or any High School student,
and begin wearing it, so that others
may see and do likewise.
With the plans for the game. rop-
ing of field and other details, the
training of the teams has gone on
apace. All day Sunday the aero

practice in actual playing. The SOL
diers played Auburn Saturday the
game resulting in a tie, 90, neither
side being able to score throughout
the fierce contest. With the laurels
of the visitors, and the stars at the
station, it is confidently predicted
that the game here will be one Of the
most interesting in the country on
Thanksgiving.

Objections to National Prohibition

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Elizabeth Tilton's plea in to-day's
Tribune that the newly enfranchsed women
of this state should use their influence on
behalf of national prohibition ignores GER
tain vital facts in connection with the scheme
for forcing prohibition upon the country by
the vote of state Legislatures respecting
a minority of the people.
BY the enactment Of the Webb Kenyon law,
giving the states complete control of the
interstate traffic in liquors, Congress has
given each state the power to exclude all
liquors from its territory. The Reed bone
dry law, enacted this year, makes it
felony to ship liquor into prohibition states.
These laws enable the states to be as dry as
they choose, and even those prohibition
states which permitted the importation of
liquor for personal use will be made bone
dry" so far as the shipment of liquor from
wet territory is concerned. There is, there
fore, not the slightest excuse for further
action by Congress.
The real reason why the prohibtionsts
advocate the Sheppard amendment is the fact
that under the system by which the Consti-
tuition is changed it is possible TO secure the
adoption of that amendment by minority
of the voters of the country. In voting on
amendments a state with $4,000 voters counts
the same as a state with 100000. Thus
Nevada. which cast about 10000 votes at
the late Presidential election. would count
as much as Illinois with 100000 voters. Ari-
IONA, withs $4,000 votes, would be equal to
New York, with 100000 Thirty-sx states
have population of 100000, while the
twelve other states have 56,000000. If the
thirty-six state Legislatures should ratify
the prohibition amendment it would be
adopted, and the 56,0O0000 would be sub
jeoted, in a matter concerning their personal
tastes and habits, to the rule of the 10000
OO0
As stated by Senator Lodge, Of Massachu-
sets, in the debate on the Sheppard amend
mcnt, a standing army of 100000 men could
not prevent cider becoming hard, or alco-
hoic; wine from fermentng; or the Illicit
production Of moonshine whiskey.
