REPUTATION

For long, long years we build reputation;
We toll by day, by night, to help city.
Our fame goes out in waves across the nation
For those who do not toll we feel pity.
We're up! We're proud, we're happy that we've won!
Some folks pretend that they just glad,
But in their hearts they say, "Your is
Your time is up; you've only been fad"
Then they start lie-a little lie,
lie so small it surely cannot harm;
But like a SNOWFALL slowly rolling by,
1t grows until we view it with alarm.
Those thought friends begin to scatter
Like chaff would scatter in a winter wind.
But to the true these folks no longer matter.
Real friends will stick-we want other kind

Wendell Willkie is a conscien-
tious student of American history,
writes well, debates powerfully.
Is under obligation to no one
group or faction in our nation.
Has that old-fashioned Midwest
honesty now SO foreign in Wash
ington.
Has the confidence of everyone
who has ever known him and
worked with or against him.
Note especially that last point.
That is the key to Wendell Will
kie's phenomenal popularity con-
fidence. everyone has confidence
in him. At time like this, we
need to have utmost trust in our
leaders and at last a man appears
in whom we can believe; a man on
whom we can depend. For Willkie
is a strong man; mentally, morally
and physically strong. This man
is not afraid. He has confidence. :.
in us, in our ideals, in America and
in himself.
Let us listen to these words of
Mr.. Willkie for they express what
we all of us believe:
IF had Creed, this would be
it: Il Believe in America:
Because in it we are free-free
to choose our government, to
speak our minds, to observe our
different religions;
Because we are generous with
our freedom-we share our rights
with those who disagree with us;
Because we hate no people and
covet no peoples land;
Because we are blest with a
natural and varied abundance:
Because we set no limit to
mans achievement. In mine, fac
tory, field, in service, in business or
the arts, an able man, regardless
of class or creed, can realize his
ambition;
Because we have great dreams
and because we have the oppor-
tunity to make those dreams come
true"

On last Thursday night, this col
umnist witnessed the nomination
of Wendell Willkie at Philadelphia.
1t was a great and wonderful oc-
casion. 1t was American history
in the making for we saw there
the tremendous tide of American
public opinion turning and sweep
ing into irresistible action. 1t was
not the Republican delegates who
nominated Mr.. Willkie, but the
American people. The politicians
didn't want him. Why should
they? Mr.. Willkie hasn't the same
background as they; he had no
machine behind him, has never
been ward healer or political
boss. He was a Democrat not so
long ago.
Who is Wendell Willkie? A few
months ago, many of us had never
heard the name before. but to-
day he is the man of the hour.
Let us glance at a few of the high
lights of Mr.. WILKES career; per-
haps we can see in them some
basic reason for this sudden surge
Of popularity.

18, 1892.

papers, washed dishes, driven a
bakery truck, harvested wheat,
dressed tools in the oil fields, pick

A Lesson From France

When a great sister repub-
lie falls victim to the forces of
aggression, it is well for us
Americans to consider some
of the reasons, that we may
be guided toward the right at
titudes and activities for eff
fective defense of our own
country. There is a growing
conviction among the French
people, from the workers in
the vineyards on up through
those who are directing the
affairs Of France, that too
much emphasis has been put
on social reforms designed to
secure ease and pleasure for
the mass of people to the ex-
clusion of providing an ade-
quate armed answer to the
challengers of democracy. Yet
France was armed more eff
fectively against aggression
than we are armed. If it is
true that the continuance of
the nation depends upon put
ting aside personal pleasures
and even personal security, it
is we'll for us to begin revis-
ing our whole national phil
osophy. If our right to think,
speak, and live in freedom is
jeopardized by our desire to
continue in a paradise of ma
terial comforts, then it is high
time for us to emulate our
forefathers in putting first

AMERICANISM PROGRAM

| AMERICANISM PROGRAM
Independence Day is observed
throughout United States, by every
loyal American citizen, as day of
great rejoicing. This national hol-
iday commentaries that never to
be forgotten event, whep on July
4th, 1776, representatives of twelve
of our thirteen original colonies,
agreed upon the Declaration of In
dependence. This historic paper,
written by Thomas Jefferson, was
the direct means of bringing to a
climax, a series of events, which
the early colonists had been forced
to endure over ten-year period.
From the date of the Stamp Atct,
passed by the British Parliament
in 1765, the colonists of America
had been actively resisting King
and Parliament. They had met in
two Continental Congresses in de-
fiance of British rule; blood had
been shed at Lexington and Con-
cord, Moore's Creek and Bunker
Hill. Ticonderoga and Montreal
had been captured, Quebec had
been attacked, and Boston has
been besieged. In spite of all these
events the colonists had been slow
to move for absolute independence,
but during this ten years of dis
pute the belief that separation
from England was necessary had
grown stronger. One by one
states had declared for independ-
ence. On June 7th, 1776, Richard
Henry Lee, of Virginia, offered
resolution in Congress that these
United Colonies are. and of right
ought to be free and Independent
states" Action was postponed for
three weeks in order that the dele
gates present might hear from
their constituency. At this time,
voting in Congress was by states,
and the vote cast was the major
ity opinion of the delegates pres
ent. If the delegates opinions were
equally divided on any specific
question, the state lost their vote
On July End, 1776, the resolution
to adopt the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, was taken up in the

hOrt-Wave Radio for Police

Several months ago, it was
announced by Town Council
that the Smyrna Police Car
was to be installed with a
short wave radio system. The
purpose of this move, council
explained, was to protect the
citizens of this town by great
ly increasing the accessibility
of the town police. Since
that announcement was made
by council, nothing has been
done, apparently, for the po-
lice car is still without a short
wave system, and this COM
munity is still without the
proper police protection. Just
a promise wont stop the in
creasing number of robber-
les around here. The issue
seems important enough for
council to take immediate
steps toward installation of
the promised short wave sys-
tenn in the town police car.
Smyrna times., 1940-07-04

Committee of the whole. Nine
states voted to adopt this resolu-
tion. New York was excused, as
the delegates had received no in
structions; Delaware was divided;
and only South Carolina and Penn
sylvania were opposed. Strictly
speaking, therefore, July End, 1776,
is the day upon which Congress
voted for independence. On July
3rd, 1776, Congress met in regular
session, and the three states last
named voted formally in favor of
the Declaration of independence,
along with the other nine states
who had voted in similar manner
the day previous. Meanwhile, on
June 11th, 1776, a committee con-
sisting of Thomas Jefferson, John
Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger
Sherman and Robert Livingston
had been appointed to draw up a
declaration of the reason for sep
aration. The Declaration of Inde-
pendence in itself was the work of
Thomas Jefferson, though few
corrections were made by other
members of the committee of five,
and a few amendments by Con-
gress. Therefore, it was on July
4th, 1776, that the corrected and
amended Declaration of Independ-
ence was adopted by the vote of
twelve states, and it was signed on
the same date by John Hancock,
the president of Congress. It was
not util July 10th, 1776, that Con-
tinental Congress voted that the
documnt, known as the Declara-
tion of Independence, be engrossed
on parchment and signed by every
member This copy was made,
and on August End, 1776, it was
signed by all delegates present, in
cluding the delegates from New
York who had not voted for inde-
pendence on July End, 3rd, or 4th.
However, all delegates of the Con-
tinental Congress did not sign
promptly. One delegate did not
sign at all, and another delegate
signed in the year 1871. Everyone
who now enjoys the outstanding
privilege of being a citizen of the
United States, would do well to re-
call the great sacrifices made by
our forefathers. We, of the pres
ent generation, too often accept
those blessings, which constitute
our present liberties, in matter
of fact manner. Perhaps our ap-
probation of these liberties would
be increased if we would but re-
view the works of our outstanding
historians, refreshing
our minds on the many brave, fear
less, exploits which were necessary
before our one hundred and sixty
four year old nation attained its
present power and greatness. It
is of the utmost Importance at the
moment,t hat all citizens of the
United States safeguard and pro-
tect, in every conceivable man
ner, the priceless heritage which
has been placed in our keeping. If
we can but bequeath to posterity
a democracy, wherein the princi-
pals Of justice, freedom and equal
ity can be found throughout the
length and breadth of our great |
nation, our work as loyal citizens
will not have been in vain.
