President Says Canal Agreement May

PHILADELPHIA. July 4. President
Wilson advocated modernizing the
Declaration of Independence to meet
present conditions. In his address today
to a huge crowd assembled In Inde
pendence Square within a few feet of
where the original Declaration was
' signed. '
The President referred to the Mexi
. can situation, the tolls controversy and
. business conditions in the country. He
took a fling at the bankers who had
fought the currency bill before its
passage and praised it afterward. The
address was In general a plea for every-
day patriotism. The President said:
"Mr. Chairman and fellow-citizens:
We are assembled today to celebrate
the 138th anniversary of the United
1 Etates. I suppose we can more vividly
realize the circumstances of that birth,
, standing on this nistorio spot, than it
would be possible to realize It any
where, else,
i "The Declaration of Independence
: was written in Philadelphia. It was
adopted in this historic building. I
have Just had the privilege of sitting
In the chair of the great man who pre
sided over those whose deliberations
resulted in its adoption. Here my hand
rests upon the table upon which the
1 Declaration was signed. We can al
most feel we are In the visible and
tangible presence of a great historic
; transaction.
Vital Bnalaesa Involved.
"But have you ever read the Declara
tion of Independence? When you have
heard it read, have you attended to its
sentences? The Declaration of Inde
pendence is not a Fourth of July ora-
tion. The Declaration of Independence
was a document preliminary to war.
It Involved a vital piece of business,
not a-piece-of rhetoric. And if you
will get further down In the reading
. than Its preliminary passages, where It
quotes about the rights of men, you
will see that it Is a very specific body
of declaration concerning the business
of the day, not the business of our day,
' for the matter with which it deals
, is past the business of revolution, the
business of 1776. The Declaration of
Independence does not mean anything
to us, merely in its general statements,
unless we can append to it a similarly
specific body of particulars as to what
we consider our liberty to consist of.
-What la There in It for VmV
"Liberty does not consist In mere
general declarations as to the rights
of man. It consists in the translation
of those declarations into definite
action. Therefore, standing here, where
the Declaration wu adopted, reading
Its business-like sentences, we ought to
ask ourselves what Is there in it for
US'! There is nothing In it for us,
unless we can translate it into terms
of our own condition and of our own
lives. We must reduce It to what the
lawyers call a bill of particulars. It
contains a bill of particulars the bill

SECRETARY BALKS AT
SARY PREPARATION.
Sculptor Explains That Subject Can
not Speak While Matrix Is Being
Made, and That Settles It.
WASHINGTON, July 4. (Special.)
Emion Garet, the sculptor, called at
th state DeDartmeht the other day
to make a life cast of the features of
Secretary of State Bryan! It was Garet
who made the death masks of the late
Pone Leo XIII. King Carlos of. Portu
gal and other men of note.. Garet was
met by an assistant private secretary
and explained his mission.
Would the Assistant Secretary- kindly
ask permission of the Secretary to ar
nnn a date for a sitting?
"Tell me about it-first, so that-1 can
explain the process to Mr. Bryan," said
the Assistant Secretary.
"Well, first you seat the subject in
an operating chair, something like a
barber or dentist chair.- Then after
an application of cold cream to the
features to prevent the matrix from
Htickinsr. the whole face is covered with
a plastic mass of soapy clay, which
remains for a few minutes until ii nas
sot. Ouills are inserted in the nostrils
to permit the subject to breathe freely.
Everything else eyes, nose ana mourn
in covered.. The subject remains still
and by no means attempts to speak."
The Assistant Secretary entered me
sanctum of the Secretary. He was
gone several minutes. Sounds of ani
mated conversation ensued.
When he reappeared he shook his
head and aatd: "He was already to
say yes until I told him about plaster
ing up his mouth, but the Secretary
would not agree to that part of pro
gramme." -

Alice RooBevelt, made a little break at
a dinner party last night, which is

king of Ulster," is one of the lions of
the season. He has been much an
noyed for some time by persistent
statements that he shortly will marry
a niece of Moreton Frewen, the well-
known writer on political economy.
Thi subject Is never mentioned ln-the
presence of Sir Edward, but Mrs.
Longworth asked him atthe dinner, in
a voice that all could hear: "Wren's
the wedding going to be?"
There is not going to be any
wedding." replied Sir Edward, coldly.

of violations of the fireworks ordinance
had come into police headquarters up,
to a late hour last night, and even
the number of drunks were remarkably
few. -

Paper Torpedo and All Other Like
Implements of Celebration Laid
Aside by Young America,
Exit the red-coated flrefracker. It
was kicked out of the celebrations of
the Fourth of Julv yesterday as un
ceremoniously and effectually as our
forefathers kicked the red-coats out
of the country more than 100 years
ago.
Exit also the paper torpedo, the cap
pistol, popularly supposed to be the
favorite camping place for the germs
of lock-jaw, and exit practically all
other implements of celebration that
are based on fulminate or gunpowder.
The biggest noise on the streets of
Portland was the occasional explosive
"back-fire" of an automobile.
At times one might be sure he had
heard the sound of a fire-cracker, but
nine times out of ten Investigation
disclosed a happy youngster armed
with one of those wire and rubber con
traptions into which a piece of paper
is placed and exploded a la paper bag.
Out In the residence sections, at very
rare intervals one might find a
scorched place on the pavement and a
few fragments of red paper on the
park strip, to Indicate that someone
had possessed a few firecrackers.
There was the salute of cannon fired
at noon by the cruiser Boston, and that
was about all the explosive observance
of the day.
It begins to appear as If after four
years of "safe and sane" methods,
Toung America has lost the fire
cracker habit.

The Immense flag provided by the

NEW ORDER IS WELCOMED
Stream of Travel Begins Friday and
Traffic Officials Report Trains
in Every Direction Groan
With Human Freight.
Truly, "the old order ehangeth."
Times were when country folks
traveled cityward on every Fourth of
J July.
Now, with these safe and salt
Fourths In fashion and favor, city peo
ple hie eountryward.
Portland furnished ample proof of
this condition yesterday, Elie furnished
it all day long.
The exodus from the city began on
the third. It was Interrupted only by
the Inactive hours of night, but began
once more with the arrival of early
morning.
Street cars, trolley cars and subur
ban trains by the score yawned to re
ceive the pleasure-hungry passengers,
but soon began to groan under their
heavy human burdens.
Baby Baggies la Evldrare.
People traveled singly. In pairs, by
families and In groups. Plcnio parties
were numerous. Lunch baskets and
baby buggies were much In evldenre.
The toy balloon and a liberal display
of American flags were the only visi
ble reminders of the old-fashioned
Fourth.
Audible reminders were) entirely
lacking.
Cannon crackers and dynamite canes
would have received a hostile receptlun
had they made tbelr appearance.
Even the glitter and glare of the
electrla parade last night failed to
arouse the accustomed Independence
day enthusiasm. The streets were
virtually deserted, that Is. when com
pared with their oondltlon when the
electric parade originally was given
on the closing night of the Rose Fes
tival. Patriotism Sot Lost,
This does not mean, however, thst
Fortland folks were less patriotic then
In yours whon giant powder and the
deadly toy pistol used to reign su
preme. The celebrations In the various parks
and playgrounds were not without
their patriotla lessons and their in
spirations for love of country. Na
tional colors were generously dis
played everywhere. In a few plares
patriotla addresses were Included In
the order of the day.
American flags floated proudly from
the tops of tall buildings. They were
prominently used In decorating many
private residences.
Old-Faskloaed Tlsies la Fever.
Then the regulation Fourth of July
brass hand was doing business early
and late. All the popular and patriotic,
airs were played over and over again.
Such old-time favorites as "Tankee
Doodle.", "The Star-Spangled Banner,"
"Amorlca" and "Dixie" were applauded
with vigor and enthusiasm that made
up for the absence of the deafening
sounds of old.
While a heavy percentage of the
city's population passed the day amid
pastoral surroundings, those who re-
