Union was rent by terrible civil war
from which II came forth united and
firm.
Now again is the struggle upon us.
We are at war with a nation that
would destroy our hard won liberty,
that denies the doctrine that all men
are created equal, that would crush
us under the iron heel Of half-crazcd
ruler who asserts the claim OF author
ity from God to rule the world. In
their lust for world empire these
wild beasts Of autocracy would make a
shambles Of this land and reduce our
people to slavery.
Is that too strong? Not at all We
have only to look at Belgium for o
vision Of what will come to America
If this horde OF brutal Huns is not
beaten to the ground
What Is liberty? II Is the right 10
live as free men and women. to be
governed by the consent lof the gov
erned, to be subject to no authority
or service save that fixed BY our own
people.
Our forefathers died for the liberty
that we enjoy. We are in arms today
to retain it. Let us not forget the
message Of Daniel Webster. who said:
GOD GRANT LIBERTY
ONLY TO THOSE WHO LOVE
IT AND ARE ALWAYS READY
TO GUARD AND DEFEND IT."
The danger of the hour is that
America is not awake. With the seat
Of war SO distant. We do not realize
the possibility of losing the liberty
that was won by the lion hearted men
Of &c and saved at Appomatox.
We have become slothful in our
prosperity. Let us arouse before it is
too late, before the Hun Is at our
gates"
Again we ask you to read the warm
ing Of the immortal Curran:

JOHN MUllAN.

Since every motorist who rides from
the Mississippi to Puget sound is able
TO give himself the airs Of a path
finder. our gasoline generation has
lost appreciation Of the service OF
such men as Captain John Mullan.
The owner of the crankiest car may
set out from the prairie for the Pa
cific and find 30 few hardships, such
strange sights, such long reaches OF
seeming wilderness as to become
convinced that he Is kin to pioneers.
They weren't no much" our atti-
tude says of the trail blazers. Look
at U.S."
1t is fortunate that the Society OF
Montana Pioneers. made up of men and
women who know through experience
of the heart-breaking toll, the hot
thirsts. the straining vigilance OF
pathfinding, has set along the Mullan
Trail reminders OF the man who led
the way. The Mullan obelisks, the
last of which is being dedicated in st.
Regis today, must arrest the most
thoughtless traveller. In the sturdy
figure of the rough soldier engineer is
expressed forcibly enough for the least
caring the difference between that
first trip through the wilderness and
the latest.

stout. red-blooded man, happily pit.

Of an unmappcd mountain wilderness

into an unknown, remote, hostile land
and by sheer force of will hcwed Il
pathway through it.
A military road. congress called the
trail which Mullan blazed in 1925:
but 1t became q road Of peace. Over
this pioneer highway came u trickle,
then a full. strong tide Of immigla-
ton. thrusting the wilderness farther
back until Its pcnnons of chimney
smoke waved over every valley. The
Mullan Trail was the first great stroke
In the peaceful conquest of the north
western wilderness. The prairie
schooner trailed MuIlan; the North
crn Pacific railroad followed his
blaZes later.
Little was known about this army
officers work until the Society OF
Montana Pioneers began placing monu-
ments along the trail. Now, as the
eighth Montana obelisk Is being dedi-
Gated, the state has come to realize
that John Mullan was one Of its great
heroes. Brash red and yellow signs
for the motorists have obliteratcd the
marks left by Mullan on his slow,
cropping march across the state, but
stone markers now recall to every
traveller the strong, bold man who
opened up the empire that SO long
forgot and neglected him.

ago today there gathered in a hall at
Philadelphia fifty-six citizens OF the
American colonies.
The air was hot and heavy with the
floating moisture from the rivers and
the physical discomfort was quite like
that of SO many fourths OF July since.
Some Of these men removed their pow
dered wigs and unbuttoned their
close-set colonial coats to let the air
watt through the folds of their frilled
shirts.
1t was an interesting group. The
Oldest was Benjamin Franklin, born
seventy years before. and the young
est was Thomas Lynch, Jr., who
was but twenty seven Among them
were twenty-seven lawyers almost
one-half Of the number. There was
but one minister. John Witherspoon of
New Jersey. Franklin was the only
printer. There were six physicians.

in his noble profession, benjamin
Rush Of Philadelphia There was
Roger Sherman of Rhode Island, a
shoemaker and one sailor. William
Whipple of Connecticut. There were
seven farmers one of whom was Ben
jamin Harrison, whose descendants
included two presidents of the United
States. There was but one whose pro-
fessioA was that OF arms. Richard
Henry Lee Of Virginia. progenitor of a
family brilliant in achievement and in
American history. But five were for
cign born.
All of these men We're chosen as
representative Of the time and needs
of the colonies, but of the more con-
spicuous were Thomas jefferson, who
sat at a table a little apart from tho
others: John and Samuel Adams, that
fiery-tempered merchant of Boston,
John Hancock: Robert Morris, Ben
jamtn Franklin, the Lees, and Philip
Livingston and Lewis Morris of New
York.
We need hardly say that these men
were gathered for serious business.

the subsequent events you may ask
