Once More the
Nation Heralds
Its Natal Day


When Liberty called to a people op-
press'd
They sprang as one man to the fray;
They carried a banner by Providence
bless'd.
And it waves in its glory today;
Long g on the fields that their valor
Our fathers triumphantly stood
And lifted the emblem that CLOVIS in the
sun
And stained its bright folds with their
blood.
How they stood long ago on the fields
OF their fame
Let Trenton and Brandywine tell,
Let yorktown and Valley Forge echo
To the tocsin of Liberty's bell:
They sleep where the rtvers Cow down
to the sea.
Revered by all patriots true;
They rest meath the rose and they camp
meath the tree
The men of the old Bun and Blue.
Who sees not our banner in pride as it
waves
BY the winds of America toss'd?
Who lrcas hot a tear on our forefathers'
graves
When he thinks what our Liberty cost?
We are proud of our land in its lovelight
divine.
Aye, proud of the men of our wars;
The stars in the heavens will never out
shine
The beauty of Old Glory's stars.
We hail this bright day on the sea and
the shore
That tells US OF Liberty's dawn,
And the old Continentals seem marching
once more
AS they did in the days that are gone;
Their fame is eternal. for the fame nc yer
dies
When the cause that is fought for is
just;
Look up! see our standard that's set in
the skies.
And honor the brave who are dust.
We are ONE in the land that they left
us today.
We are strong on the crest of the sea,
And Liberty rules In her own gentle way;
We are truly the home of the free;
Forever and aye may the happy bells
ring
TIL remble the arch of the sky;
Forever and aye may we gleefully sing
Of.the worlds only Fourth OF July.

but to the flag as the symbol of a great
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 It 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 1t may be possible to
prevent others from being led astray
through ignorance of what America
truly is. The American people have
beer impervious to the incursions of
and stupid. but rather because they
are satisfied, and have reason to be.
They know their America well enough
to know that there is no country in
the world in which opportunity is more
freely offered. none which comes so
near being the country of the average
man.
Many Things to Learn.

themselves to greater devotion to
American ideals, to more loyal and I'M
selfish service, and to s~tricter conform
ity 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
try is due to a pitiable ignorance of
its history, its institutions and of all
that America has throughout its life
stood for. And this Ignorance is often
the densest in the minds of those who
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, and
what are its safeguards. 1t is partic-
ularly necessary that they should IN
derstand the right of minoritles, and
should realize that there is such a
thing MS the d%espotism of majorities.
There are some things that a vote of
the majority cannot be allowed to
sanction. as our constitution recog-
nlzes. Perhaps this is n of the most

There died at Chantilly, Va, on
June 10, 1894. n of the prime movers
and leaders for American liberty, a
contemporary and co-worker of Wash
ington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick
Henry, Samuel Adams and scores Of
others; namely, Richard Henry Lee.
Richard Henry Lee was born at
Stratford. Va, January 20, 1882; a
member of that distinguished Lee fam
lily which, both in America and Eng
Ian, since the days of william the Con-
queror, had furnished many distin-
guished men, and been leaders In both
countries.
Richard Henry Lee was educated in
England. and although an a~ristocrat by
birth, ye, he was very democratic in
his political ideas, scarcely less so
than Thomas Jefferson. AT the age of
t~wenty-nine he was elected to the vir-
ginia house of burgesses, where he

For more than a century the burial
vault Of Gouverneur Morris, In the
yard OF st. AIMS church of Morrisa-

for the debris which has collected
along the entrance, the rust on the
iron pickets and the hinges of the door

famous old soldier, statesman and

Go%uverneur Morris is credited with
writing the final draft of the Consti-

times since Morris, as secretary of the
Constitutional Convention, dried his
Quill and called 1t a good days work.

Inn LONG.FAMOUS
Figured Prominently in RevoIu-
tionary War Days.
Pennsylvania Roadhouse That Stood
SquareIy Between the British
and American Armies. .

The advent of national prohibition
sounded the death knell for many
roadhouses scattered throughout the
country districts. The stopping places
of tourists, the Mecca of motorists
and the genes of many impromptu
parties, these places for many years
held a Orn in the hearts of the
American public that gave them a
place of almost equal Importance with
the circus and the chautauqua. Few,
however, survived long after January
16, 1920, because the main source of
their income was gone.
One of the most popular roadhouses
within several hundred miles of the
city, for many years a Mecca for prom
inent Philadelphians on their hikes
and rambles, has to some extent sur
vived and still opens its doors to thou
sands of tourists each month. 1t is
the old Jeffersonville inn, located on
the corner of Egypt road and Ridge
pike, about seven miles from historic
Valley Forge and about two miles
northwest of Norristown. 1t is better
known to its friends as Tom Brown
I'LL ny WHICH Hdile IL went IOr many
years.
Surrounded by spots made famous
because of their connection with
vents of the Revolution, itself per-
meated with historical associations,
the inn held the interest and patronage
of many educated men because of the
stories and data of historical events
so closely connected with the old
building.
The house vas built in 1765 and was
besieged by the British and partially
destroyed ten years later. This site
was in the neutral ground between
the established lines of both the Brit
ish and American armies, and was
constantly secuted by horsemen of
both armies. The Americans, when at
Valley Forge. had their most easterly
pickets at the %juncture of the two
roads at Jeffersonville. At that time
the inn was owned by the Thompsons,
who, because of their relationship to
General Thompson and because of
their open hostility TO the royal cause,
were objects of animosity TO the Brit
ish troops. And because of this the
inn was fired and partially destroyed.

One hundred and forty-six years ago
a notable group of American ~colonists
assembled at Philadelphia signed a
paper that was to become one of the
momentous documents in the history
of the world. 1t wis their "declara-
ton of Independence 1t was the be-
ginning of a movement for freedom

Of efforts to reform conditions that
had become intoierable. In their ex-

Principles

1t has been said that patriotism
must be an intelligent patriotism /:
there Is much that passes for 1t that
is not intelligent, and some that falls
within DIR. Johnson's definition "Pa-
triotism is the last refuge of a scoun-
drel." Nothing is easier than to be

of going with the crowd. But more

obedience to the law, etc. There must
be service by outward act and deed.
and not mere lip service. asserts a
writer in the Indianapolis News. But
service implies knowledge. The apostle
said:
"For the which cause l also suffer
these things: nevertheless i am not
ashamed for l know whom i have be-
lieved. and I'M persuaded that he is
able to keep that which l have com
mitted unto him against that day"
~ know whom l have believed"
One who believes in America must
know America. and the more M
knows her the more intense will he

more than the people who call them
selves Americans. for Ideas and ideals
do not merely float I'm the air-they
are incarnated in men and women.
and by men and women they are APP
piled to life. Principles are of no
value till they are acted on, and they
must be acted on by people. The
memories end traditions of which
something has been sale all attach to

made by people. 1t is into the labors

a fierce afraignment of 1.-THE iniquitous
and ~disgraceful traffic of slavery" 1t
was in this house of burgesseS that
Patrick Henry made his resistance to
the oppression of the English govern
ment, and it was Richard Henry Lee
who ably supported him in that posi-
ton. He shares with Samuel Adams
of Massachusetts the credit of first
suggesting those committees of CORE

lied the American Revolution.
He was a member of the first Con-
tinental congress, and introduced those
celebrated resolutions, that these
united colonies are, and of right ought
to be, free and independent states; and
that all political connection between
them and the state of Great Britain
is, and ought to be, totally dissolved"
John Adams seconded this motion.
He was a signer of the Declaration
of Independence; was an indefatigable
worker in. the different congresses;
was chosen president of the tenth Con-
