! New Note
in Natiion's 5.
! Celebration

Today there is 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
There Princeton, too, whose college folk
may see
Where startled Britons took their hrst
degree;
There is the Tory blockhouse on the ridge,
There Paulus Hook. Red Bank and Quin-
toms Bridge;
or. like Bryant, have sung how
The British soldier trembles
When Marion's name Is told,
will be the bards of ancient American
history-a history ever to be cherished
but no longer to fill the foreground
in the madonna annals Even Gettys-
burg and Chtckamauga recede, and
the bloody shirt, buried deeper than
ever plummet 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 deAaace nings
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:
AhlS 0AAAVSAS0AS uAO

With Henry Ward Beecher at
later date, they can stand beside the
graves OF their dead and take COM
fort from the truths that an enlarged
vision brings within their grasp:
"Oh, tell me not that they are dead
that generous, that airy army of
invisible heroes. They hover as q
cloud of witnesses above this nation.
Are they dead that yet speak louder
than we can speak, and more uni
versal language? Are they dead that
yet act? Are they dead that yet
move upon society and inspire the
people with nobler motives ana more
heroic patriotism? Ye that mourn, let
gladness mingle with your tears. He
was your son, but now he is the ma
tion's. He made your household
bright; now his example inspires a
thousand households. Dear to his

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 it shall

heroes as 1t is Of an ancient hero. that
