7 S there any one today ready to dis
l. pute John Adams statement that
the debate on the Declaration of In
dependence and its outcome decided
the greatest question ever raised
among men? A declaration of indie
pendence of whatever kind, provided
human liberty is its basis, is COM
Bill of Rights and all other documents
containing the aspirations of a race
struggling for freedom.
The first words of the Declaration
of Independence Of the American col
onies were written in spirit at Run
nymede. One of the seeming contra
dictlons of history is that Americas
utterance of its right to freedom was
made to the nation which had
Magma Charta as its birthright. II
takes the people of all countries
long time to realize that that which
they demand for themselves other men
have an equal right to demand for
themselves. This viewpoint today is
established in its validity and there
are few to deny its Righteousness.
School children in America are
taught United States history. The
younger children get but an outline.
Frequently in the high schools, acad-
emies and even in the colleges instruc-
ton in the spirit of Americanism is
neglected. 1t Is virtually impossible to
learn the impelling motives for the
Fathers desire for true American
ism unless their expressions on the
subject in the great debates gin
time that tried mems souls" are read
collectively and studiously.
There is i'm sense a lesson in
Americanism to be found In Washing
ton. The British Embassy stands on
Connecticut avenue Almost directly
in front of ii is the statue of John
Wtherspoon, one of the signers of
the Declaration of Independence and
one of the foremost defenders of
American rights, and one of the early
teachers of the true spirit of Amer
icanizatiOn. Representatives Of Great
Britain today look unconcerned on the
statue of this man of revolutionary
day defiance. Time has wrought spir-
itual rs well as material changes.

 The offense for which these then were indicted and banished from Major League baseball parks occurred IS months ago, when they sold out the worlds series to the National League's representatives. ;
 That is the way the American sport ing public ''forgets!' Pickle as pop ular fancy is, baseball fans eanuot eso' soon forget, nor will they ever forget, the foul blow struck below the belt of Americas best-loved game
