, First Great American

This is written that we may pause for
a few moments to think on the career of
a great American, long since gone to his
reward, whose birthdate is Sunday, Jan.
II. Born 237 years ago, Benjamin Frank
lin came to his prime in that interesting
era when the republic Of the United States
was being formed.
Newspaper publisher, scientist, econo-
mist and diplomat, he did many new
things first and was himself the first great
American. Among his firsts were his con-
tributions to the improvement of his home
city, Philadelphia. He organized the first
volunteer fire company, the first insurance
company and the first municipal hospital.
He improved the paving and the street
lighting and reformed the police depart
ment.
During these years he was absorbed In
the affairs of government. His "Plan OF
Union" was the beginning of the movement
which brought the colonies together. He
became an ambassador for the colonists IN
England and attempted by argument and
cooperation to secure justice for the set
tiers in America, but the longer he stayed
there the more indignant he became.
Finally. he came to agreement with those
who had been talking rebellion. He re-
turned to America, convinced that this
was his own country.
In 1871 Franklin was sent 10 discuss
the peace with Great Britain. Against his
better judgment he was forced by John
Jay and John Adams To agree to a separate
peace because they were afraid of France.
Subsequent events proved that Franklin
was right.
Climax of his long and useful life was
signing the Constitution of the United
States. A number of years before he died
he told his mother when he passed away
he hoped people would say of him, he
lived usefully," rather than ''he died rich"
He lived usefully and had acquired COM
Portable competence when he died.
AS guide to thrift, square dealing and
good citizenship, the National Franklin
Institute has prepared compilation of
his sayings which is commended for
thoughtful study. He expressed a sound
philosophy in such sayings as Spare and
have is better than spend and crave"
Diligence overcomes difficulties, sloth
makes them;" 'Idleness and pride tax
with heavier hand than kings and par
liaments; if we can get rid of the former
we may easily bear the latter"
