INDEPENDENCE DAY
—-o
I
Tomorrow the Eagle will scream in Seward as it
never has for many moons; the announcement that the
Coast Guard Cutter Chelan would be here over the
4th of July and that the members of its crew would
participate in the parade, is gladsome tidings. There
will be fun for one and all and if anyone retires at night
with a grouch, it will be just too bad, that’s all.
And so, to the meat of the subject.
Independence never seemed to the Gateway to be
worth arguing about. Independence proves itself by its
results. They are all about us. The richest, most pow
erful nation in the world, built up from nothing in 153
years, is today’s monument to independence. The world’s
greatest spellbinder cannot gild that achievement.
An no editor, writing columns of dreary words,
can be half so eloquent as the facts of the triumph of
freedom that confront you every mile you travel thru
this pleasant land.
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all
men are cheated equal; that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalieable rights; that among
these, are life>liberty, and the pursuit of happiness;
that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted
among men; deriving their just powers from the consent
of the governed; that whenever any form of govern
ment becomes destructive of the$e ends, it is the right
of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a
new government, layng its foundation on such princi
ples, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them
shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happi
ness.
