In part his remarks wefe as follows The corner stone of the American republie is equal rights'to all. Battles of treedom have been waged for many centuries, but it was not until that eventful ¢ of the Fourth of July, 1 when a new nation was born, that the principles’ of human liberty were prociaimed to the world. Since that time the march of progress has gone ever onward and today nowhere n the European world can be found a country which has not been materi- ally affected by the principles of liberty declared by our fathers. In order that w may maintain and preserve this country of ours we must adhere to the ideals that ted them. We must remember his country has grown great and grand becausé we have recognized the dignity of labor. The moment we allow artificlal distinc- tions to grow into our. natio: the moment we measure other than his native ability an and manhood, we sow the se ruption and deca: t was sald in early days add is equally true no that .éternal vigi- lance is the price of liberty. If we would preserve our liberties, we must be ever vigilant to defend.and protect them. It {s the duty of every Ameri- can _citizen to take an intelligent part in the affairs of the Government. The proper form of Government depends| upon and is governed by public opin- jon. There was a time in our history when the perpetuity of the Union was in grave doubt, but now we are a united and contented people, and wher- < I I T Z AFVELAIN Special Dispatch to The Call. .| at Gilroy, Mountain View, Gardner and ¥ | other places. ever our flag floats it is the emblem | not only of freedom, but of one of the| reatest ions of'the earth.

To the veterans of\the Civil War we owe a debt of gratitude that we can never repay. In all the centuries that will come and go over a happy and prosperous people they will tell of their glorious deeds on land and sea and teach their children to honor their names. - They will tell them how, fol- lowing the starry flag, they left home and kindred, crossed mountain ranges and. dismal swamps and in storms of shot and shell sang the battle hymn of the free.

ELK GIVE c THE PRINCIPAL LEBRATION AT SAN JOSE Many Visitors Throng the Gardem City and Enjoy the Festivities of the Day. SAN JOSE, July 4.—Never before have there been so many or such enthusias- | tic Fourth of July celebrations in this| valley as today.. The Elks' celebration | in this city the chief one. | s The | city was thronged with outside people, | while thousands of local residents went | to the country. The features cf the| local celebration were a great auto and bicycle parade and literary exercises on | the grounds of the Hotel Vendome, at which addresses were made by former Mayor Worswick, present Mayor Ma- thews and the Rev. Mr. Black, rector of Trinity Church. = A minstrel per- formance, a musical farce and a dance carried the programme up to midnight. The six granges of the county joined in a celebration at Cupertino; a tem- perance celebration was held at Los Gatos, and there were also celebrations { Danvilie Holds Big Celebration. | DANVILLE, July 4.—More than 2000 people attended the celebration of the Fourth at Ramona Park., Bxcursions were run from all near-by points. | There were rowing and swimming con- tests on the lake, baseball and tennis games and dancing. x the auspices of the local Odd Fellows, who in the forenoon gave an Interest- ing march and drill. Fireworks and a | | ball concluded the celebration. for a clearer recognition of the dig- nity of labor. The odium which rest upon the work of the hand has exert- ed a baneful influence the world around. The theory that idleness is more honorable than toil—that it is more respectable to consume what others have produced than to be a pro- ducer of wealth—has not only robbed soclety of &n enormous sum, but it has created an almost impassable guif between the leisure classes and those who support them. NEED OF A MORAL And now we come to. the portant need of the Orient—a concep tion of life, which recognizes individ- ual responsibility to God, teaches the brotherhood pf ®an and . ‘measures reatness by fhe service rendered. The rst establishes a rational relation be. tween_the creature and his Creator, the | second lays the foundation for justice between man and his feuows and the third furnishes an ambition large & ough to fill each life with noble ef- ort. If the superior nations have a mis- sion it is not to wound but to heal— not to cast down but to lift up, and the meéans must be exampie—a far more powerful and enduring means than violence. Example may be liken- ed to the sun, whose genial rays co; stantly coax the buried seed into life and clothe the earth, first with ver- dure and afterward with ripened grain, while violence is the occasional tem- pest which can ruln but cannot give ife. Boclety has passed through a period of aggrandizement, the nations taking what they had the strength to take and hnlding what they hng the power to hold. ut we are already enter- ing a second era—an era rn which the nations do not merely what they can do, but what they should do, con- sidering justice to be more important than physical prowess. In tribunals like that of The Hague, the chosen representatives of the nations welgh | questions of right and wrong and give a small nation an eqlual hearing with a firent decree according to consclence. This marks an immeasurable ad- vance. But Is another step yet to be taken? Justice, after all, 1s cold and | pulseless, a negative virtue. The world eeds something warmer, morc gener- ous. , Harmlessness 1is ' better than harmfulness. But positive helpfulness | is vastly erior to harmlessness, and we still have before us a larger, higher destiny of service. Even now. there are signs of the ap- roach of this third era, not so much n the actions of’ Governments as in the growing tendency of men and | men in many lands to contribute thélr | means, in -some cases their lives, for the intellectual, moral awdkening of those who sit in darkness. Nowhere are these signs more abundant than in oul“belomvledlhln.nd. eftelnre Kthel liln sets on one of these centers of it rises on another. ‘vl lsq.tlpn b X . CHIEF EXECUTIVE BRATION. 0!

The exercises were held aj Tammany Hall and were attended by prominent men from many parts of the country One of the principal addresses of the day was delivered by Congressman John A. Sullivan, who spoke of what he regarded as the evils which Bad grown out of the protective tariff. The address of welcome was de- livered by Grand Sachem W. Bourke Cockran. Thomas C. T. Crain read the Declaration of Independence and brief addresses were delivered by represen~ tative delegates from various sections of the country. In his address of wel- come Cockran among other things said: We hear that Democracy is no longer needful in this country. We are told that the Government must now inter- fere in all matters. It is a proposal that socialism is to be substituted for Democracr. In the insurance frauds we find the rascals holding a stronger grip on their ill gotten gains. Moreover, when & larceny of $50,000 is admitted, we find the officers of the law not pursuing, but protecting, and the whole country stands aghast at the spectacle. COCKRAN SCORES PERKINS. Cockran declared that the campaign contributions by the New York Lite Insurance Company which were ad- mitted by George W. Perkins had served to merely strengthen the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., of which Per- kins is a member, and he declared that the action of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in declaring that these contributions were not criminal had shocked the community. Continu- ing on the subject of campaign con- tributions by insurance companies Cockran said: A firm notorious for its capacity in promoting swindling operations con- tributes $50,000 to the Republican cam- palgn fund to give the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. welght and con- sequence with Republi managers. ‘When it comes to legisl favor for the steel trus election is over this taken out of the funds of an insurance com- pany by an officer charged with the custody of them for the benefit of heip- less people incapable of protecting themselves, instead of being indicted like any other offender and allowed to offer any defense that he could fur- nish, he is asked by the District Attor- ney to furnish his own explanation.

The fact ghat we find here a District Attorney shield- ing a man whom he has sworn to pros- ecute is a spectacle shocking to civille zation. We have seen out in Omaha a man who has perpetrated against a child a crime which every principle and ine stinct of Christianized manhood con- siders most heinous. When arr: ed before a Judge upon evidence which he did not deny, including his own con- fession, he was acquitted for no other reason than that the man against whose family the offense had been committed was himself a habitual vio- lator of the law.
