inspired in individual unrest Each
was wealthy, each rated among the
personally fortunate, but a peoples
freedom was impelling. Each was
accused of undue ambition, but it
was peoples welfare that ever in
spired.
Each knew the essentials Of free
dom, that liberty itself is the state
of just restraint, and the fruits of
revelation in the cause of freedom
are gnrnered only in constitutional
establishment, and preserved only
when government is strong enough
to guarantee them.
Both Bolivar and Washington
were eminent in genius on the field
of battle, both were rich in wisdom
when it came to the more difficult
problems Of peace. War has it's in
spirations, when patriotism is anamc.
Peace has it's problems. where con-
struction or reconstruction must be
wrought in conviction and ccnsecra-
ton.
Each Of these national heroes,
when his military tasks were fin
ished, preferred retirement and the
repose of private life. Each was
promptly called to civic construc-
ton and administration through
which alone the triumphs for which
men sacrifice and die may be corr
memoir ted with the outstanding
monuments of permanent institu-
tions.
ut is not too much to say that
out of the liberations wrought by
Washington and Bolivar grew the
republican constitutional system
which is Americas gift to mankind
Our constitutions are the models
after which are fashioned the funda-
mental laws of world won to de-
mocracy. Whether they looked to
the North or South, or whether tho
beacon fire was Pan American, in
the New World burned the great torch
to light the way to constitutional
freedom, and hope was assured by
outstanding example.
Republics Born of Evolution
These things arc said with due
Difference to the older civilizations
and the longer-c established systcms
from which all America came, and
to which we may trace back the in
spiration which gave conception to
the institutions of freedom to which
we are dedicated. 1t is fine to be
able to say that new-world temples
OF liberty were not wrought in de-
struction Of the old. We speak his
tor'cally of revolution, when in re-
ality we mean severance and freedom
for evolution. The world isn't call
ing to-day for destruction; it needs
reconstruction, where the test of

veloped under liberal institutions.
They had enjoyed a large measure of
autonomy and self direction. Their
grievances against European domina-
ton were small compared to the
grievances Of the South American
colonies. North American colonies
revolted against the exasperating as
sumption of reactionary king:
South America against the tyrannies
of vicious, despotic, perpetual and
self -pcrpetuating system. Where the

southern continent lived under a
grinding oppression that sought to
extract every particle Of wealth that
could be taken without literally de-
stroying the capacity to produce
more. The South American revolu-
tion was q desperate attempt to
escape at whatever cost from a state
of intolernble, unlivable oppression.
Union and independent greatness
were possible following the northern
revolt. Geographical conditions and
the long time isolation of the south
it wellnigh impossible to effect
union among them. 1t was the dream
Of Bolivar, but even his genius was
not equal to its accomplishm cnt
Consequently our thirteen colonies,
when their revolt had succeeded. set
them selves up, not as thirteen indie
pendent nations, bus as one nation
comprised Of thirteen federated
states. The sheer force Of gravity
has caused their union to expand.

take, think, if we concluded too

1t is, namely, that family of states,
entirely sovereign ard independent,

impe men to seek new nelds for new
cndeavors, new sites for new con-
struction, new opportunities for new
enterprises.
Trade was calling, learning en-
couraged, .ne adventurine navigators
explored, and wherever they touched
they stood only at some gateway,
never dreaming of the reality. We
do not measure the possibilities of
the Americas even now, though more
than four centuries have come and
gone. But the great coincidence was
tunity for planting new states and
trying new methods at the very time
when the human mind was opening
or reopening to new truths, new
conceptions and new motives.
"Perhaps the miracle was in the
divine plan, and the New World
marvel was an inevitable part in the
supreme scheme for developing civil
lization. But we were, when Wash
ington and Bolivar uttered American
aspirations and battlcd for them,
and are now so interlocked with the
Old World from which our founders
came that independence does not
make for aloofness, but the develop

ours has been the greater fortune,
ours has become a greater RESPONSE

stitutie Nc is no less important than
their creation.
Liberty without security would be
barren boast, and inspiration with
out sterilization would challenge
every claim Of democracy. Nothing
the Americas can do, nothing Pan
America may aspire to do, will SUR
pass the contribution Of our youth
and resources and our steadfast
allegiance to our newer institutions
to help steady the world and prove
the right Of present-day civilization
to go on.
"Probably we sec to-day the en-
crossing drama of mankind on the
world stage as intimately as General
Bolivar saw the struggles of South
America, only little more than
century ago. He could meet the
problems of that day and look we'll
to the future, with such vision that
a third Of South America acclaims
him liberator, and we join to-day to
do reverence to his memory. Per-
haps our greatest tribute lies in
noting the world, war-wearied but
more free than ever before, ard re-
solving that where liberty inspires,
peace and justice are the supreme
fulhllment.

Fellow citizens of America: There
is significance jim dates, as tn ugh
some days were destined a high
place in the history of human
progress, also an abiding place in
human affections. This day is the
anniversary of the Battle Of Lexin9-
ton. when the colonies of North
America made their first sacrifice in
blood for independence and new
standards Of freedom. On this same
day, generation later, Venezuela's
struggle for freedom had it's immor-
tai beginning.
To-day in befitting celebration of
freedoms triumphs, we are met to
unveil this monument to Simon Boil
var, in whom the South American
movement for liberty foun it's soul
and inspiration and to whom the
libertyloving heroes of Venezuela
turned for triumphant le:.der-hip.
just as the North American colonies
pinned their faith in Washington.
There is further and highly inter
esting coincidence in dates and sig
nlacance in achievement. Bolivar was
born in 1888, the year in which our
North American Revolutionary war
was ended by the treaty which recog-
nized our national independence; and
the independence Of Venezuela was
formally proclaimed on July 5, 1871,
on the day following the anniversary
American colonies thirty-hve years
earlier. April and July have valid
claim to our liberty-loving rever-
,ence.
II wish April 10 might have an
added significance from this day on.
Similarly born and dedicated to New
World freedom, l would like this date
to mark anew for North and South
America not alone the avowal of
mutual trust in the fellowship of
freedom and democracy, but a new
confidence and a new mutually of
purpose in achieving the things
which independence and fellowship
so naturally inspire.
"Having sacrificed in arms to es-
tab.ish the human inheritance be-
longing to free men, the America n
republics may we'll touch elbows to
prove their unselfshness and show to
mankind that righteous achievemen ent

ga Die NoT KNOW.

1t Is said that ignorance of the law
excuses no man. That is not quite
true. Indictments charge that a man
s'wilfully and maliciously' did the deed
for which he is called into court. He
may not have known the text of the
statute, or that there was statute,
but he knew that he was doing wrong.
HE did not know it was loaded"
Probably not, but he knew that he
was doing a very foolish thing when
he pointed the supposedly empty gun
at another human being. and pulled
the trigger. If he did not. know enough
to know that. he is not a safe person
to have around.
There are some things which it is
out business to know.
we ought to know that 1t Is neither
safe nor right to do to another man
what we should not like him to do
to us.
We ought to know that in matters
involving danger to life or limb there
should be margin of safety in our
actions; we should take all the pre-
cautions which safety demands, and
then add q margin for defects of mech
anism or error of human judgment.
You may have the right of way ac-
cording to the rules Of the road, and
the man coming down the intersect-
ing street may owe it to you to slow
down when you honk at him, but that
fact will not repair your car, nor set
tie your hospital bill.
You may not know that he does not
intend to slow down for you, but it
Is not always safe to assume that he
is going to do it.
DO you read the mountain statis-
tics of death from automobile acct
dents2 People did not know that the
other car was coming; did not know
that the policeman really meant what
his signal seemed to mean; did not
know that the steering wheel was out
Of order, or that the emergency brakes
were not working very well.
There is a place long way this
side Of heaven for the men who take
chances with human life because they
did not know that the danger was so
great.
1t is mems duty to know
