Moreover, the nation was alive to the tremendous

Every man, woman. child who breathes it, no

There is not liberal sentiment where civilization
is known that is not quickened on the Fourth of

the throat of my brother to maintain caste and
privilege? The Fourth of July lifts the thought.

countries to higher planes of living, thinking and
