Roberts, who has had exceptional opportunities for knowing what he is writing about, makes the pregnant statement that the immigration which secks to flood our shores from eastern and southern Europe and from Asia is made up of people who have for ages dwelt in slums. Some in city slums. Some in agricultural slums, The world has both kinds. Habitual alien slum-dwellers nat urally gravitate into slums in this country, Give them high wages, and still they lack the impulse to get on a higher plane of [iving. Their ambitions have been crushed. Now American labor cannot com pete with such laborers as these. It drags them down to the level of the slums themselves. The com- petition is not in wages alone, It is in such things as the space the family occupies, decency in sleep- ing sccommodations, bathrooms and toilets, the separation of the sexes, promiscuity in living which militates against the separation of families, education for the children. The civil war was fought over Just such labor competition. The difference between free labor and slave labor was not much greater than that. between our American labor and this European slam ta- bor. And the fight ts between the classes which are injured and those benefited, just as it was in the ‘06s. But in the place of the slavocracy of the South, we have certain un enlightened employers of labor who like slum labor because it is cheap ly Doctor » VANCE COOKE id Uncle Iehabod, "Got used to bein’ put beneath the sod It wa'n't no fault of his, ral in the doctor biz ti!

A) 78) year, ve years ago today, a group of “Down-East Yankees” put their heads in a noose by signing the Declaration of Independence. That document gave birth to the United States, Dy kings. To 1 we owe our political independence and republican self-government. It forever ended rule of Americans * * * the Declaration of Independence was signed, July 4, 1776, the battles of Lex- * ington, Concord and Bunker Hill had been fought and Washington had charge of the Continental army. : _ With that much of a start toward independence, it would seem that the Declaration ‘would have gone thru speedily. But congress was nearly as slow in those days as taken . by Richard Henry Lee * * * HOMAS JEFFERSON arrived in Philadephia and was delegated to write the formal Declaration of Independence. He went about it leisurely—rented 1 room on a second floor in a quiet neighbor- : and had a carpenter make him a special desk three feet high and 14 by 10 inches top. On this table he penned the Declaration, probably with his collar off, for that ‘The document came within an ace of going into the waste basket. Jefferson was sat at his elbow and tried to cheer him up Meantime, the public, cursing congressional delay, melted up lead plate into bullets *.e @.! LY 2, not the Glorious Fourth, is really Independence Day, for Lee’s resolution severing us from England ‘vas passed in secret session the second of July. Jeffer- 's elaborated and formal document was passed and signed two days later, and was jot made public until the sixth. ' The date doesn’t make much difference. What really counts is the Declaration’s great principles of individual freedom. it comment was written July 3, 1776, by John Adams to his wife: “The second day of July will be the most memorable epoch in the history of Amer- I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the | @reat anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp ‘and parades and shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forevermore.” Seattle, it would appear, is carrying vut Adams’ ideas to the letter. .
