The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1919-07-03

W. geOusly decorated in honor
" of the great Victory Fourth
of July celebration, and at
early dawn tomorrow the national
salute will be fired from adjacent
mountains which will herald the 143d
anniversary of our national independ-
ence. 1t is an event that all true Am,
ericans always delight to celebrate,
but not in many decades has the
Fourth of July been an occasion OF
such patriotic enthusiasm as will be
witnessed this year. Our gallant and
victorious army is just returning from
across the sea where American SOL
diers and sailors fought with the same
unyielding courage that characterized
our forefathers in 1776. 1t was in fact
another fight for liberty and independ-
ence, and 1t is well that we should
make the observance of the Fourth
this year Victory celebration and
renew our allegiance to those princi-
pies upon which our independence was
first won and upon the preservation or
which the safety and perpetuation or
our nation depends. 1t Is in this spirit
that the people of Wallace have pre-
pared to celebrate the Fourth of July
and in which they invite their neigh
bors to join. Come and join US and
be joyful that we are citizens of the
best government the world has ever
known and we will be better fitted to
protect It against enemies at home
and abroad.
