THE SPEAKING
was on a reviewing stand at the ball
ground. Quartermaster G. c. McColley
was chairman.
Chief Superintendent A. F. Porter
spoke first. He said this July 4th was
the greatest in the nations history since
1116 and We are passing thru one of
the worlds greatest epochs. We are
now carrying out the principles of the
Declaration of Independence and carry
ing those principles to other nations.
He spoke of the successful wars this
1ation had carried on. Ours is the old
est flag and will be again victorious.
Many millions of men are now at war.
Work needs to be dom that men called
to war did. That means that the stay
at-homes must do that work. 1t was
a patriotic duty to not only do work we
never did before, but to do more at
what we have done.
The DUPONT Company has never had
troubles with labor in this region. There
superintendent have been men ap-
proachable and in touch with the work
men. In doing so most difficulties have
been adjusted. Where superintendent
cannot get along to the best advantage
they are frequently changed.
Superintendent Porter is popular with
the men and his coming among them on
a holiday and addressing them shows
that he did not seek his own pleasure
and was not above mingling with them.
Charles A. Green, secretary Of the
7. NJ. &. A., spoke on the progress of
man since the stone age. Rehind all
progress is the instinct of self preserya-
tinn. First it was individual of the
family, then clan, later race, now ma
tiOns rs man progressed in cooperation.
No unit ut people ever a. advanced higher
than their ideals.
One hundred and forty-ore years ago
our revolutionary fathers formulated
their ideals of principles in the Declara-
ton OF Independence. Those ideals have
advanced 40 that to-day the stars and
stripes float over the Parliament building
in England for the fist time.
France saw those principles which
stand Tor progress yeas ago ard now
other nations are accepting them. Rus
sJa is the latest.
II takes men trne to principles to lead
men III the brotherhood of community
life into a national Ire. We are now
united in a sncrificial war. ItEis the work
OF the enot Samaritan in the creates,
sense. Let us live such lives AS to in
splre others alb ut us to tl,e highest ideals.
