The reading of the Decla on of Independence by Maxwell McNutt, whose robust voice and clear enunciation carried his words to the | furthermost corners of the big hall, was the next feature. Mrs, T. C. Masteller ren- dered the “Star-Spangled Banner.” Twice she was encored, and the big building rung with cheers for the national anthem. Charles E. Sweigert, orator of the day, was presented to the audience by Chair: man Wilson. With clear voice and uncon- strained manner Mr. Sweigert approached his subject. He spoke of the achlevements of our revolutionary fathers, which gave | to the world a nation whose principles will live until the end of time. After alluding to the influx of the Japa- n whom he said were thriving like on the white man’s starving g to the Boer war as gainst the domination arins and referri wages a gallant struggle of despotism—a_struggle that commanded the respect and sympathy of all liberty loving peoples, the speaker concluded his oration as follows: As & nation we rest secure in our present lat- itudes of profit and peace. The American peo- ple will never lose their all-pervading love of country, and remaining in our own continental stronghold we will be substantially unassall- and our toiling masses will carry no soi- diers on their backe. We will be terrible in battle and beneficent in peace. The ‘‘Rockets’ red glare and bombe bursting in will each year remew the light that shone when hope was born. Let us be just before we are char- ftable, and let us remember that the first power in secular prosperity might for all that be a nation of dying hearts W. J. Hynes entertained the audience with several humorous selectfons. He sald he had heard the reading of the Declara- tion of Independence. He had heard the sentences that granted man certain in- aliepable rights, but he had heard nothing about woman, unless that section referr: to her that granted the people the right to “bear arms.” He had been to several func- tions and had seen the ladjes exercise this right in addition to'the vested right to ‘wear low COrsages. “The American Fagle at the Golden Gate,” designated as “a personal inter- view,” was read by Professor E.
