INDEPENDENCE DAY

The American people feel proud
and happy when their great patrio-
tic holiday, July Fourth, comes
around again. Though the day goes
mostly into sports and pastimes, CIV
ing us relief from the strain of
daily endeavor. yet it calls attention
each year to the marvellous achieve
ments of our history.
When those famous patriots signed
that Declaration of Independence,
they did something more than Gre
ate a new nation. In the long his
tory of the world, nations come
and go. They appear on the map
of history, they rise 10 heights OF
power, they disappear and are swal-
lowed up. But somehow We have
faith that the United States is not
going to have any such transient
life.
If the fate of the American nation
proves different, it will be because
IT. stands for certain distinctive
ideas. No nation can live long UNI
less it has such principles, and I'M
less they are worthy ones. q
No nation ever began its existence
with a clearer and more hopeful
statement of principles than those
which were embodied in the Decla-
ration of Independence of July 4th,
1875. In that immortal document,
and in the constitution of the United
States which followed. these prin-
ciples were asserted:
First, that all men are created
free and equal Second, that all
should have an opportunity for de-
.yelopmeRt. Third, that the people.
can be trusted. if given rights OF
self-goVernment, to govern them
selves well. Fourth, that liberty,
justice, and order must be preserv-
ed. If we maintain these principles,
our country is destined to live in
definitely, and to have some new |
record of glory to show on every |
Independence day.

THE NATIONS BIRTHDAY

The observances of the nations
birthday tend to develop much like
our own personal birthday doings.
What does the boy Of 10 value
most when he reaches the elevated
age of 10 years? What he is look
ing for is a good big feed. perhaps
a new outfit for baseball, and he
likes to brag how much he has
grown. But when that boy gets to
be so years old, different kind Of
celebration will appeal to him.
When the United States first cele-
brated its birthday on July Fourth,
the idea was to express joy by max
ing a tremendous noise. In making
those big noises, many destructive
fires were set, many children lost
their eyes or suffered severe burns.
And though such performances seem
childish, they are still popular with
the kid crowd.
But gradually people learn to cele-
brate the nations birthday in a
more intelligent way. A good day
Of healthful outdoor recreation is
an improvement over the old idea
of making a big noise. When the
folks fill their picnic baskets with
nice sandwiches and luscious cake,
and HE themselves out to some rus
tic scene, they do something more
worthy of the day. When they hear
some distinguished speaker talk on
the history of our great nation, they
have a still better birthday cele-
bratiOn.
On July Fourth we can well glor-
ify our country's amazing progress.
But in our past, July Fourth cele-
brations, there has been too much
Dragging, and not enough good plan
ming. It's good time for the folks |
to get together, and discuss how
they can make a country and home |
town that shall be worthy of the |
dream which the 1775 patriots had
for the glorious land which they
passed on to us.

LEARNING BUSINESS

When young people make their
start on a business job, many Of
them think merely about perform
ing the functions of a job we'll
enough to keep drawing their pay.
Others are keenly interested in the
whole business, and they keep their
eyes open to see how it is carried on.
The latter class will not neglect
their particular part of the work.
But they will be always questioning
about other parts of the business,
inquiring about qualities and values
and prices and costs. An employer
spots an employe who wants to
learn everything he can about the
business in which he is engaged.
When vacancy occurs, he is the
one who gets the promotion.
Milford chronicle., 1934-06-29
QUALITY OR QUANTITY

There are thousands and thou
sands of towns that can look back
az their census records, and find
they had about the same population
so or 100 years ago. What does this
Indicate? A lack of energy, initia-
tive. and inventiveness? Or a calm
Contentment, that is satisfied with
the life the town has?
There is something very admir-
able about an advancing and grow
ing town, one whose business peo-
pie are wide awake, pushing, ag-
gressive, ambitious. Almost any
town can be made to grow, if its peo-
pie work hard enough for il. If they
will push their home enterprises,
encourage young men to start in
business, assist the farmers in the
. outlying country to improve their
methods. show enterprise in retail
trade, they can build up their bust
ness, and draw in ambitious folks
who like a live town.
Yet population growth is not the
only measure of towns prosperity.
An equally important test is the
question what advantages a town
gives as place to live in. If a
town is consistently acquiring high
er standards, there is a growth there
as real as a population gain. If the
schools do more efficient work, if
the churches are bringing up well
trained young people, if the clubs
help people become more intelli-
gent. if boys and girls -Are playing
healthful games and studying hard
instead of loafing on street corners,
permanent results of the highest
value are being secured.
What do people want, growth in
quality, or quantity? They may
make more money in a fast growing
town, but the life may be better
worth living in a town where stan
dards are growing higher.
The tendency of population in this
country is to be more nearly sta
rionary. 1t will not be so easy to
produce rapid growth as it has been.
But the chances for quality develop
nent exist everywhere, open to all
who seek improvement.

BREAKING UP THE GANGS

A law now in force in Australia
is said to be very effective in break
ing up criminal gangs. Under this
act, convicted criminals are liable
to arrest and Imprisonment if they
are seen consorting with each other.
So when they finish a prison term,
they keep away from each other, and
are apt to leave their old under
world haunts in the big cities.
This seems a simple plan, and
there is logic in it. 1t takes several
of these gangsters to carry on a big
crime, and if the mere fact of asso-
ciating with others of a criminal
record is enough to Jail them, the
underworld will lose much OF its
power.

YOUNG WOMEN AND THE WORLD

Our grandparents tell us that al
most all the girls ofitheir youth used
to stay at home and help do the
housework, until they were married.
Many families at that time thought
there was something improper and
eccentric about a girl who went out
to work among the men, as If she
had somehow lost her womanly in
stinct.
Then came an age when many
girls began to go out as shop or
store or home workers, but they
rarely went away from their home
towns until they were married. To-
day, almost every girl, unless ex-
ceptional conditions keep her at
home. chooses an occupation or pro-
fession. If she can't get a job in
her home town, she searches the
whole world for something to do.
Conditions still keep some girls
at home. but they are often unhappy
there. If their parents attempt to
guide their conduct after they have
become of age, they resent such die
tGtion. and long for some Oppor-
tunity to go out with the rest Of
their sex and live an Independent
life and make opportunities for them
selves. The idea of depending on
their parents is not generally pop
ular among young women. They
keenly desire their own money, and
their chance to make their own lives.
The home staying woman of the
former age was a charming bit of
culture, refined and modest. but she
was untitled for the conflicts of life.
Too much shielding made her hot
house flower Some of the young
women of today are cOarsened by
too much contact with rough ma
lures. But women have not usually |
suffered by the broader life they are
leading, and their wider experience
has taught them to take care of |
themselves. and they have become |
an infinitely greater power in the
world.

STAIN LIKENED

Dr.. Wirt's Charges Ridi-

(copyright. 1884. by United Press)

iCOpyI4EuL. 1881. DV OulLeQ RTeSS1
WASHINGTON, April 3.-Former
Senator Smith w. Brookhart today
described George Washington as
an advocate of world revolution and
man of ideas not very different
from those held by Stain today.
The startling comparison was
drawn by the outspoken, one-time
Iowa senator as he ridiculed the stir
caused by charges of DR.. William
Writ, Gary school superintendent.
that brain trusters" were plotting
revolution in which President
Roosevelt would play the part of
Kerensky.
A house committee to investigate
the Writ affair is to be named
shortly.
The PHILOSOPHERS of Washington
and Stain have many points in
common, Mr.. Brookhart told the
United Press. He cited passages
from Washington's farewell address
which he said showed clearly that
the first President favored world
revolution.
The United States would do well
to take a few pointers from Soviet
Russia, Mr.. Brookhart said.
Such a course would not imply
disrespect or alteration of the Con-
stitution, he said.
Recent charges that brain trust
erS are seeking to overthrow the
government are all bunk. It's that
old Wall Street government that we
have to overthrow"
