 My Country Iris of Thee" was isung by the whole assemblage. A prayer by Rev. C. P. Morris of the Baptist church followed Mrs. H. T. Southworth gave splendidly re- ceived reading of the poem "The
 Name of Old Glory" George Nils son, chairman of the American Le- zion memorial day committee, read the declaration of independence. Fol lowing the governors address, the "Star-Spangled Banner" was sung and Rev. Andrews closed with a benediction.
 ! M. B. Hazeitine, chairman in charge, introduced the governor as "a man we are glad to call gover- nor, a man we are more glad to call fellow citizen, and a man we are still more glad to call friend"
 In opening Governor Campbell said:
 To-day is the torty-third Fourth of July that I have celebrated here. Coming down the mountain into this city, l was reviewing the celebrations of years ago, and on down to the present It seems to me that the spirit of this anniversary of our na- tion,s birth is being lost to the people; the part played by the people in the forming and preservation of the nation, the history and preserv- ing of its ideals together with the heartfelt expression of appreciation of what heritage is ours, has been made secondary to the pleasureable things. This holiday is getting to be looked upon, especially by the young, as a day of good time. I hope that this will soon change and consideration of the spirit of the day will revive all that is best ill the government of the people by themselves.
 Many come to our shores from other countries. They bring with them the histories and traditions of those countries, and are not brought into contact and appreciation of the vastly different record and traditions of this land to which they have come.
 Looking into the faces of men, women and children coming 370O miles from Italy, passing Ellis Island to scatter east, west, north and south, could see in their faces a look of resentment, a look of almost de- fiance. They seemed to associate the entry formalities and us who were onlooking, with what has been going on for years in the land from whence they came. Living in seeth- ing atmosphere of commercial and governmental turmoil, looking at us as bushwa, they coming as prole- tariat who in their numbers would impress their new chaotic doctrines. I realized they knew no better. They look upon this country as simply a new country where they can easier make their way.
 "It did not seem to me there would be much chance to change many of the men and women, but we must reach out and impress the children with the spirit to which this day is dedicated Soon under our laws these children must come through l our schools. Don't you think that much of the disrespect of law and | order which is a growing menace to us, is because we have not as in dividuals or as a nation, extended to ! those and the children of those who come from other lands, the hopes and privileges which form the herit- ages of all who live under our flag? |
 Tt is my hope that the govern ment at Washington will exercise greater care in passing upon those who will enter our country, extend ing to the great middle classes and the home-makers the privilege, and also to those trained to know Amer ican history and ideals. And keep out the wanderer, purposeless and uncaring except for the agrandize- ment and lust of self. This must be done, or the America we have en- ( oyed will be lost to our posterity.
