WHAT THIS FOURTH OF JULY STANDS FOR
As if by a sudden swing of the pendelum backward,
the nation whose birthday will be observed Monday finds
itself beset with the same perplexities which harassed the
Fathers of the Republic. They embody efforts to rivive
the spirit which set the nation on its way to the glories
which have been the envy and admiration of the world.
And while considering these glories it may be well
to harken back to the days of the little log schoolhouse,
the barefoot children, the tillers of the soil, the man with
the axe and gun facing the great wilderness with a cour
age stimulated by the magic word of Freedom.
Set in contrast to these primitive conditions are the
things, once considered nothing short of the alchemists’
magic, we have the marvel of the greatest civilization the
world has known. Nothing short of a perfect foundation
could have withstood the stresses of the great structure
builded by men inspired with a lofty and super-genius.
Like children at play the nation has lost sight of the
many principles upon which the wonder-work has been
accomplished. Like men sobered by some universal calam
ity the hour has arrived when each and everyone is called
upon to abandon the spirit of play and revert to the prin
ciples which have brought so much happiness and success,
yet in many omissions have allowed the grim spectre of
want to stalk thru the land.
It is on the Fourth of July, marking the genesis of
America’s glory that one may cast aside the burdens of
perplexity and uncertainty, and meditating upon the la
bors, sacrifices and spirit of those who gave us our heri
tage, renew courage and faith, and emulating the spirit
and genius of the master builders again emerge victor
ious and masters of our destiny.
What we wish to see is some of the millionaires now
breaking into print to tell us how easy it is to beat the de
pression, set down in a strange land without a letter of
credit and compelled to rustle his “scoffings”.
