JULY FOURTH is known as I'm
dependence Day" On that date 16C
years ago, the American people de-
clared themselves a free and inde-
pendent nation. Was that declara-
tion merely a desire which head
strong people often feel to have their
own way?
1t might be compared to the action
of boy who decides the time has
come for him to be independent of
his parents. He wants to decide
what he shall do, how he shall spend
his money, time, and effort. He de-
clares his independence, and the re-
suits are not always good.
e Yet the time has to come when a
boy must make his own decisions,
or he will amount to nothing. So
it was with our country in the day
of its decision. The movement for
independence was not merely a sell |
fish desire to have its own way. The |
people felt that the time had come 4
to establish new principles of free
dom and opportunity. They saw
that the old country from which they
had come was ruled by kings and
mobiles and aristocrats, and that no
door of opportunity was offered to
the average citizen.
They decided that they wanted to
open wide those doors, to give equal
justice to all. AS time has gone on
these great ideals have been some
what dimmed. We have seen politi-
cal corruption become powerful in a
land founded with the pursuit of
motives. We see great evils of pow
erty, unemployment, and dishonesty.
Il may seem as if our people had
not made good use of their indie
pendence. Yet at the heart of our
country there are the same hopes I
that won the Revolutionary War, and t
established our government. Let us i
celebrate July Fourth with the idea 4
Of making this government and this C
independence worthy of the patriots ii
who offered their all on the altar of q
liverty and opportunity.

LANDON CAN BE ELECTED. H.

LANDON CAN BE ELECTED. He
can beat Roosevelt.
The people who merely hate Roose-
welt cannot defeat him. People who
hold free America close in their af-
fections can do so. Mr.. Roosevelt
can be beaten by a better man, a
mon of sounder principles and bet
ter intentions. Governor Landon is
that man.
Republicans cannot ask the i'm
possible of next November. If they
win they'll have to begin now by de-
serving to win. The future of the
country demands that they do. The
Republic has no friends in the gov
erning counsel of the Democratic
Party. 1t has many in the party but
none in the high command. A COM
munistie group controls the man
agement, has directed the legislation
and asks only vote of approval to
unfold the plans for another four
years.
Roosevelt can be beaten by man |
in whom the majority of Americans |
recognize the characteristics they /
like to think they at their best pos
iess themselves.

HERE'S A comparison that will
give you something to think about:
From the time of President Wash
ington Q7S9) to the time of Presi-
dent Wilson (1913) the successive
Federal congresses appropriated a
total of $24.OOO.OOO,OOO. That sum
paid all the central governments ex-
penses for the l24 years, including
the cost of a number of wars, such
as the Civil War. War of 1912, and
the Spanish American War.
During the last four years, two
congresses have appropriated about
$S2,5OO, OOO,OOO-eight billion more
than was appropriated from the in
ception Of the American government
up to the first administration of
Wilson.
No one political party can be
blamed for this prodigality-both |
Republicans and Democrats have
shown a shameful disregard for the
peoples money. Nor has the spend
ing trend been confined to the last
few years-even since the World
War the government has shown an
accelerating tendency to fatten the
budget. Nor can the politicians be
planned to the exclusion of everyone

II win be heard at countless rail-

What kind Of oratory will draw
the most votes? Some old-fashioned
types are well outlawed now. The
humorous speaker of years ago, who
used to keep the audiences convulsed
while he told funny stories, all aimed
to show what miserable leather
heads the opposing party and its
candidates were, is rarely heard now.
When folks got out of work, they
couldn't be herded back to the
party fold merely by wisecracks.
The modern orator may still assert
that the opposite party is all wrong,
and its terrible policies and selfish
aims will ruin the people. Mean
while the orators own party is con-
ceived as led by noble statesmen,
who alone have true vision, and are
the only ones who can save the ma
tiOn from disaster
This style of oratory also is not |
so convincing now. Few people feel /
that any one party or element mon
1polizes all the virtue or wisdom.
To discuss politics effectively to-
lay, a speaker should admit that
here are plenty of good folks on
10Th sides of the political fence, and
here is plenty of evil and cOrrup-
ion on both sides. The orator would
etter appeal to the common sense

ording to the things they have
