With Henry Ward Beecher ut a

| New Note
in Nations


Today there is Il new note struck
on the Fourth of July. The old vic
tories of the Revolution recede into
the dimmest past; and poets who have
written, as did that patriotic son of
New Jersey, Doctor Thomas Dunn
English, of how
There flows Assanpink; yonder Mon
mouths plain
Spreads green before US. fertile with its
slain;
There Trenton rises, where our fortune
Turned to the flood when at its ebb the
worst;
There Princeton, too, whose college folk
Where startled Britons took their first
degree;
There is the Tory blockhouse on the ridge,
There Paulus Hook. Red Bank and Quin-
tons Bridge;
or, like Bryant, have sung how
The British soldier trembles
When Marions name Is told
Wi. hr the bards of ancient American
hiStnry-a history ever to be cherished
but no longer to fill the foreground
in the national annals. Even Gettys-
burg and Chickamauga recede, and
the bloody shirt buried deeper than
ever pummet sounded, seem forever
incapable of another languid flap. New
triumphs and new ideals fill the minds
of the people who have, in part at
least, realized the aspiration of the
patriot who declared:
Our banner still defiance filings
TO sceptered power and may not rest until
All peoples and all lands alike are free
From threat of princes and their brood
of tyranny.
None the less, many of the old ex-
hortations still ring true To the end
OF time Americans can repeat the
words uttered by Daniel Webster, not
many months before his death, when
the republic completed its seventy
fifth year and the great orator entered
on his SEVENTEEN:
HIS dulIlN ti an"
gladdens and unites all American
hearts. On other days of the year
we may be party men, indulging In
controversies more or less important
to the public good; we may have likes
and dislikes, and we may maintain our
political differences often with warm
and sometimes with angry feelings.
But today we are Americans all in all,
nothing but Americans. Ev-
cry mans heart swells within him
every mans port and bearing become
somewhat more proud and lofty as he
remembers that seventy-five years have
rolled away and that the great inheri-
tance of liberty Is still his-his un-

it's original glory, his to enjoy, his
to protect. and his to transmit to
future generations"

NATIONS BIRTHDAY
by
Duncan M. Smith

All hail the day we celebrate
From early in the morning
Until when dark has closed around
The midnight bcll gives warning.
We celebrate till we are worn
In body, mind and pocket,
The frecracker gaily shoot
And send aloft the rocket.
The day on which our fathers signed
The thrilling Declaration
And gave unto the waiting world
A pretty, brand-new nation.
The day we notified John Bull,
That stamp and tea-tax CRATER,
That we would run our little show
Without his aid hereafter.
The day we launched the ship of state
With noisy speechifying
The forces of the mother land
In stringent tones defying,
And told ourselves we were grown up
And fully one and twenty
And what we'd do to anyone
OoJocting, would De Pienty.
Then let tho voice we lift be not
Enfeebled or half hearted,
Show we appreciate the men
Who got this business started
And let US raise aloft the flag
With starry emblem clustered
For this is one Of those rare days
That cuts a lot of mustard.

brothers and sisters, he Is now brother
TO every generous youth In the land.
Before, he was narrowed, appropriated,
shut up to you. Now he is augmented,
set free and given to all. Before, he
was yours {; he Is ours. He has died
from the family that he might live
to the nation. Not one name shall be
forgotten or neglected; and 1t shall
by and by be confessed Of our modern
heroes as 1t is of an ancient hero, that
he did more for his country by his
death than by his whole life"
And they can proudly prophecy with
the eloquent Henry Armitt Brown,
whose death at thirty-four was so
great loss to the Philadelphia bar
of generation ago, in words which
he used in a centennial Grafton CON-
memorative of the assembling of the
first Continental congress in Carpen-
ter's hall:
"The American Union has endured
hundred years Here on the thres-
hold of the future the voice of human
ity shall not plead to us in vain. There
shall he darkness in the days to come
danger for our courage, temptation
for our virtue, doubt for our faith,
suffering for our fortitude. A thou
sand shall fall before US, and tens OF
thousands at our right hand. The
years shall pass beneath our feet and
century follow century in quick sue
cession. The generations Of men shall
come and go; the greatness Of yester-
day shall be forgotten today, and the
glories of this noon shall vanish be-
fore tomorrow's sun; yet America
shall not perish but endure while the
spirit of our fathers animates their
sons. s."-Philadelphia Ledger.

TIME Declaration of
independence! The
;pt.rasf w bic \ in


that paper has survived
the occasion upon which
it was issued, the interest
which is of every age and
every cline, the interest
which quickens with the
lapse of years, spreads
as it grows old, and
brightens as it recedes,
is in the principles which
it proclaims. 1t was the
first solemn declaration
by a nation of the on
ly legitimate foundation of
civil government. 1t was
the cornerstone of a neW
fabric, destined to cover
the surface of the globe. 1t
demolished at a stroke the
lawfulness of all govern
ments founded upon con-
quest. 1t swept away all
the rubbish of accumulat-
ed centuries of servitude.
1t announced in practical
form to the world the tran
scendent truth of the in
alienable sovereignty of
the people. 1t proved that
the social compact was no
fgment of the imagina-
ton, but a real, solo, and
sacred bond of the social
union.-J O h N Quincy

TO RESTORE MORRIS VAULT
Memorial Tablet Also Will Be Placed
on Resting Place of Supporter
of Washington.

After more than half century the
burial vault of Gouverneur Morris, in
the yard of ST. Auns church, New
York city, is to be restored and
memorial tablet placed.
Gouverneur Morris, who was born
January 30, 1862, is credited with
writing the final draft of the Con-
slitulion of the United States. Morris
was elected to the Continental con
greSS when twenty-five years old, and
soon became one of WaShington's
ablest supporters. He took an active
part in the preparation of the Con
stitution, and though, according TO
cries were rejected he remained one
of its warmest advocates. Tie was
also active in the framing of the Con-
stitutiUn of the state of New York.
During the French revolution Gou-
verneur Morris was minister plenl-
potentiary to France, and was large
power in forming the early ties be-
tween this country and France. His
tory also credits him with being the
protector of the Erie canal.
Morrisania, the old manor Of the
Morris family, originally consisted of
1920 acres in what Is now the Bronx,
New York city. On the estate AL
the members of the Morris family,
many of them famous in Colonial and
Revolutionary history, were buried,
In 1866, after the completion of st.
AIMS church, they We're removed to
the vault they now occupy.

Built in 174S, the State house In
Boston was the pride of the city long
before the Revolution. 1t was, when
constructed a fine editice, with an i'm
posing front, and surmounted with a
gilded dome. Much of It's original
appearance has been preserved, and
ii is today Mecca for the tourist who
visits the sacred shrines connected
with the birth of liberty in the United
States OF America.

Baseball Don't Pay

1t looks like Abilene ought to
have enough baseball fans to make
gate receipts Of $3.50. Well they
did not.
The Abilene boys team lost
money on the Tuesday afternoon
game with Manchester. The game
expense was not so great that 1t
could not be made up but the boys
lost money. They figure the ex-
pense was: Team, 81; advertising,
$3.50; total $3.50.
Some true blood walked out and
the gate receipts were 9Oc, making
the boys lose $4.60. Each member
was taxed so cents. each and Cap
tain Red SnOwden kicked up the ex-
ira 10 cents.
The Manchester boys proved true
sportsmen after the game and came
to town and spent about $25 at the
restaurants and amusement places.
Both the Abilene first team and
the bows team have lost money on
ball games held here this season.
The first team under the manage
ment Of Frank Paxon lost money on
both games playes here. The boys
amount was small compared with
this but it was money lost.
