'' Ever'since the spark of intelligence crept into the head of ? ph Be. thas been struggling against ypnid of leparting eras. “At first these bonds were the bonds of forest and swamp—the bonds of natural environment. When man learned to build his home on high ground, when he learn ed to make weapons, when he learn- ed to make fire, when he learned to take the skins of animals and make clothes from them, he achieved great liberties. These things enabled him to do things he had not been able to do before. And that is about what liberty is —the ability to do things that could not be done before. se & So man has gone on fighting for .| the right to do things he could not do before. Invention has brought many _liberties. Science has been one of the great liberators. We owe more than we can ever tell to the patient men‘ who have ‘sat’ and pon- .| dered over test tubes, mathematical calculations and retorts. We owe much to those who have just sat and dreamed dreams, for out of the dreams of these have come many of our most precious liberties. From the dreamers we got ‘the idea of liberty. And the idea of liberty is’the thing that urges us to get liberty. In later days political governments supplanted savage and_feudal govern- ments and again liberty advanced, giving .men new and\wonderful lib- erties. With the establishment’ of political governments ‘came the great awaken- ing of the world. At last the gate- way was opened for the complete flowering of human possibilities. But it was only the gateway. It was the opening of the era. The pathway through that era was still a pathway strewn with thorny and rocky passes. But the urge toward liberty is al- ways in the breast of man. * & @# Progress is the only course open to those who are not willing to die. With political government came the contest between autocracy and democracy. We now face the climax of that struggle. And it is fitting that. the land which. struck the first great blow in that struggle should now ‘be called to throw into the scales the deciding weight. As ‘America was the. inspiration of the world’s‘ liberty lovers ‘fh, 1 ‘fy 80 is America today, the. ia those’ who hold’ Tit precious than life. And to no people eee ; doomed. given a more exalted opportunity, a more precious mission. *-¢ + * In this moment the forces of prog- ress and reaction meet in tremend- ous, final conflict. Autocracy will be toppled into the abyss, wrecked and discarded, and before the liberated peoples of the world there will lic the supreme epoch of all history. We,come now to the days of com- 0 | plete emancipation for mankind. We come now. to the age of man’s great- ‘Jest achievements; for as liberty has come to aries 50. tes man achieved. rtyythe liberty Gee sha be the and a eeincaier none’ can’ know. will surpass all that has gone; that -|we know. In this titanic.crisis, in this great war for‘progress and democracy and human liberation, Iét ‘us on this day rejoice that’ we are given opportun- ity, to, take our, place on the side, of right and that. our: land: 4s ‘blessed with the liberty which we ‘seek for all the world. July Fourth today means for an the world what in the past it has meant for America. And to think Uncle Sam had ’em all the time! ape eoegeg erry e TROOPS IN FRANCE. It is with’a thrill of indescribable pride and joy that the people of this country have learned that some of thefr matchless regular soldiers and marines have landed on French soil to constitute the first elements . of what eventually is to be an immense American army under General Persh- Lf ing. The “contemptible little American army” thus begins to follow in the footsteps of “the contemptible little British army” which the ‘corseted martinets of the Prussian war ma- chine, so affected to despise. Just as the British gave a wonderful . ac- count of themselves, so it is‘expected will our own regulars, who have nev- er failed to do their duty and carry the flag on to fresh triumphs and glories. : At last the wooden sword which the Prussians told their people was all Uncle Sam would be able to wield turns out to be a steel sword with a sharp edge and a sharper point. Our cruisers, our fast destroyers, our hospital corps, our engineers, our practical woodsmen .our ambulance men and part of our regular army are already working against Ger- many. As the weeks go by, more and more of our troops will find their way to the front. The truth will slowly pen- etrate the mnilitary-mad German mind. Leadérs and men will both learni from actual contact that’ this: ‘eountry has drawn'‘its ‘word, never’ 'to return it to the scabbard..until a victorious peace has been won. America has decreed that the awful menace of ruthless German militar- ism: must’ be driven from; the world and America will stay on‘the job’un- til it is finished. a /Our boundless resources, our food, our money, our munitions, our ships, our men will all be poured into the scale agains, the kaiser. The Teutons have reached the peak of their power and from now on are a diminishing quantity. With Amer- ica in the field, the Allies have not yet reached the acme of their power. With us in the war, the anti-kaiser- ist forces become an increasing quan- tity. It becomes a simple problem in mathematics. In a war of attri- tion that side wins which has the most men, the most supplies and the most money. The United States gives the overwhelming preponderance -to the side of democracy. Viewed in this light, autocracy is Liberty and freedom and Popular enlightenment are going fo win the greatest fight ever waded for the cause of the plain people. No other national independence day means quite what ours does in world history. Wherefore we intend to make American ’ independence mean the finest thing in the world. BONE ORY. It sounds arid. But time only will prove its parch- ness. North Dakota’s law was a fluke, a surprise to Watkins, Finwall and Langer, all of whom were ferninst the super-iry prohibtion law.

Charles Stelzle out in such a fashion as to make oth-, ers see them, too: A man who feels needs—and who knows how to’supply them: A man. who has the power to stir others. and who will say to: them “Come ‘on—let’s do it,” but’ who will do.it whether anybody comes or not: ‘A man who does things Which ev- everyUody else said couldn’t be done. This isthe kind of a man who's needed today. We need him in the trenches—but ‘we need him in’ the -blootifess’ battles to be. fought back. in.the.home town. We need him to interpret to his éighbors' the ‘big tas a ng for. We need him to map out plans to help the boys at the front and to pro- vide for the wives and mothers and children who are left behind. jWe need him to lead in putting across Red Cross campaigns and in selling Liberty Loan bonds. We need, him to help maintain in- dustrial, standards in shops and fac- tories so labor will not be compelled to fight all over again the righteous battles ‘already . won. : We need him to encourage every sort. of enterprise which will give encouragement and force to the cause for which we are fighting. We need him to give backbone to those who are responsible for main- taining moral standards in the com- munity during the war, when the temptation ‘to: let go will he tremen- dously strong. » Such a man must be on fire with the patriotism which makes martyrs and heroes—BUT HE MUST NEVER THINK OF HIMSELF AS A HERO AND STILL LESS AS A MARTYR.

But no matter where you are en- rolled; nor for how long, you must have discovered that the weakest} spot in love's regulations has to do| with his training camps. Cupid takes! care that. his recruits are. always handsomely uniformed and splendidly drilled for review, but he forgets to give them sufficient practice in trench digging. Love sets up his training camps at | every summer vacation resort and jamusement park. He makes a drill ground of every ball room floor. And his rookies experiment with the ammunition of flirtation—j| But after the real battle of life] has commenced, too many of love's! legions prove themselves lacking in| ‘the morale by which soldiers survive to become veterans.

Wake up, Cupid! Put your training camps ,in kitch- @ns as well as in ball rooms, at the wash tub as well as at the bathing beach. Desertions from your ranks will decrease, the courtmartial known as divorce will disgrace your -records less, when you drill your troops more for defense than for the parade.
