A building of serenity and sym
metry, of fine amplitude, gracious,
alluring building, rich In noble mem
cries, yet touched also with a living
sweetness: such is the beautiful old
State house In Philadelphia, often re-
fefred to as Independence hall. And
it stood here, and was even then
building Of age and dignity, when Sir
Walter Scott said to Washington Irv-
Ing, with a tolerant condescensiOn
which he meant to be fiattering, "The
vast aboriginal trees that have shell
tered the Indians before the intrusion
of the white man, are the monuments
and antiquities Of your country"
Scott was quite ignorant of the fact
that America had architecture to him,
our country had merely trees, al
though this building, and some other
American buildings, were richer in
beauty and in noble association than
quite a number of those in his own
land of which he wrote with such en-
thusiasm.
Scott was deeply impressed by the
thought of our illimitable forests He
longed to see one, as Dickens longed
to see an American prairie. And had
Scott come over here, and had he seen
not only forest but this State house,
his imagination would have been fired,
and he might have written great
novel about America, rich in details

picturesque John Hancock, in scarlet

pleted, except as to wing and tower,
five years later; quite old enough, one
sees, to satisfy even Walter Scott!
But it must not be thought that it is
beautiful or interesting principally on
account Of age. Age adds to beauti-

/ 1t has been said that patriotism
must be an intelligent patriotism;
there is much that passes for it that
is not intelligent, and some that falls
within DIR. JOhnson's definition: Pa
triotism is the last refuge of scoun-
drel." Nothing is easier than to be
patriotic when it is simply question
of going with the crowd. But more
than this is equired-disinterest

of citizenship (eyen to the honest pay

the romantic patina, literal or meta
phOrical, that comes with the decades.
But this State house Is beautiful in
itself; 1t was beautiful when 1t was
young and new; it will remain beauti-
full as long as 1t stands, with it's tradi-
tons growing more interesting with
time. After all, Philadelphia was the
largest and richest Colonial city of
Great Britain. and so it was natural
that fine administrative structure
should be built here. And it was put
up In the same period which saw the
construction of two other admirable
state houses, that of Boston (not the
stately pillared building of the pres
ent time. but the delightful ancient
state housed and the charming State
house Of Annapolis. All three are
lessons in good taste, in positive
beauty And the Philadelphia struc-
ture is the finest of the three. :.
The State house Is a beautiful
building, alike in its mass effects and
In It's smallest details, in the views of
it from the exterior or in rooms
within. It's facade is exactly conferred,
and similarly winged and arcaded at
right and left 1t is beautiful and 1t is
balanced.
Viewed From the Outside.
Seen from Independence square,
which is large open space, stone
paved, with intervening surfaces OF
grass and fair-sized trees, it is a tow
cred building of time-mellOwed brick,
with white window stones, with small
ish pillared doorway beneath tower
built outside the lines of the main
building, and, over this doorway, a
splendid Palladian window. Above
are cornicings, and fetching, bulg-
ing, bow fronted window, and above
this is a clock-tower, square at the
bottom and rising in eight-sided dimi-
nutions to a six-sided narrow pinnacle
which is topped by a trident-ike
weathervane of gilt.
Enter beneath the triple Palladian
window, with its heavy muntins, and
passing by the foot of the finest stairs
In America you enter broad and
brick-paved central hall; and there
comes the sense of glory of white,
with touches of mahogany and darkish
green.
The rooms are serenely beautiful;
they are dignified, large and light;
there are pillars and pilasters, there
are charming eornices, there are pam
els; in every direction one sees beau

Many Things to Learn.
On the nations birthday, therefore,
the American people should pledge
themselves to greater devotion to
American ideals, to more loyal and I'M
selfish service, and to stricter conform
fly to those great principles which lie
at the basis of the nations life. There
is great need for education, since much
of the failure to appreciate this coun-
try lis due to a pitfable ignorance OF
it's history, it's institutions, and or all
that America has throughout its life
stood for And this ignorance is often
the densest in the minds of those VINO
think of themselves as reformers, and
who indeed are allowed to pose as
such. Men need to be very sure that
they know what liberty, as won by
people of the Anglican race, is, ana
what are it's safeguards. 1t Is partlc-
ularly necessary that they should I'M
derstand the right of minorities, and
should realize that there Is such a
thing as the despotism of majorities.
There are some things that vote OF
the majority cannot be allowed to
sanction, as our constitution recog-
nizes. Perhaps this is one of the most
important lessons to be learned as II
seems to be the most difficult to bring
home to men. The very restraints OF
which the uniformed so often COM
plain have no other purpose than to
protect the helpless against the strong.
And this is a part Of Americanism. &c
we approach another Fourth OF July

selves Americans, for ideas and ideals
do not merely float in the air-they
are inrarnated In men and women,
and by men and women they are ap-
piled to life. Principles are Of no
value till they are acted on, and they
must be acted on by people. The
memories and traditions of which
something has been said all attach to
people and the history Of the coun-
try which is part of it today was
made by people. 1t is into the labors
of very real people that we OF the
present time have entered. The prob
lem, therefore, is one of Keeping
Americans true, not solely to the flag,
but to the flag as the symbol OF a great
national life. Into that life 1t is nee
essary to enter. in it men must share.
The more complete their participation
the greater will be their love of their
country-and their love Of 1t for what
it really is, and of all that 1t stands
for. A patriotism thus enlightened
and inspired will, as has been said,
be close Of kin to religion.
Preserve Faith and Hope.
1t is not Boosting to magnify ones
blessings, or to dwell lovingly and
proudly on the principles and ideals
which are American. 1t is necessary
indeed to do this, since there are some
unhappy souls who see nothing good,
in America, and who are even yet look
ing to Russia for inspiration and sal
walton. Nothing can be done with or
for such, but it may be possible to
prevent others from being led astray
through ignorance of what America
truly is. The~American people have
been impervious to the incursions OF
Bolshevism, not because they are dull
and stupid, but rather because they
are satisfied, and have reason to be-

A tang of especial distinction Is
given to the admirable Chestnut street

which center the brick above each of
the ample windows and rise into
band of dark gray marble that ex-
tends across the entire one hundred
and seven feet of the buildings front;
and by line, above this band, of nine
panels of marble, beneath the win
dows of the second floor. The quoins
on the corners, and the fine wooden
cornice and balustrade, add still
further distinction; and in all it is
noble and distinguished building, rich
in noble and distinguished memories.
