The Day We Celebrate.
On the 15th of June, George Wsh
Ington- was appointed , commander-in-chief
of the Continental , army. On the
2Mh he received his commission, and on
the 21st he left Philadelphia for the
scene of activities about Boston. Some
20 miles upon the Journey he was
greeted by couriers carrying tidings of
the battle o Bunker Hill. Eagerly he
asked these messengers, his first ques
tion. "How acted the milltiar He was
told the mllltla had stood their ground
like veterans, flinched not at ' the
enemy's Are and reserved their own until
at close quarters. He exclaimed, The
liberties of the country are safe."
In September, 1796, his farewell ad
dress, - previously revised by Madison
and Hamilton. - was', published in the
Daily Advocate of .Philadelphia H con
tained these words, unchanged from the
original draft: " "Of all the dispositions
and habits which lead to political pros
perity, religion and morality are Indis
pensable supports. In vain would that
man claim, the tribute of patriotism who
should labor to subvert these great pil
lars of human "happiness, these firmest
props of the duties of man and cltlien."
From these . two expressions of thf
Ideal patriot, . ever . to remain the first
and pattern citizen of the republic, w
may, I think, , draw the inspiration of
the day we celebrate.
Why -Liberty Is Safe.
That the liberties of the country are
safe while the reserve force of Its mili
tary power resides in the arms, hearts
and homes of Its peaceful and Indus
trious citizens, is proved , and self-evident.
While that heritage of liberty.

' Who holds -coupon No. 4,270? That's the question of today. About four months ago Dr. B. K Wright, tha
dentlnt'of No. 242H Washington, started to give a coupon for a beautiful gasoline launch with every dollar's
worth of dental work done at his office. This offer held good until ; last night when, at Cordray's theatre, lame- '
diately preceding the performance of "Down By the Sea." the drawing for the lucky coupon" took place. On the
stage was spread the 12,800 duplicate coupons snd after a committee of three gentlemen had been selected from
the audience little 4-year-old Miss Luclle Roberson of No. 190 Park street stepped upon the stage. After being
'carefully blindfolded the little lady thrust a small white hand Into the Immense pile and after a moment's da
liberation, picked up a coupon: After first adjusting his glasses John F. Cordray asked," "Who has coupon No.
4.270?" "I have !t," excitedly cried a lady, but smothered her exclamation with a very embarrassed snd disap

this day doubly glorious In 'the memory
of the brilliant' aurora of Its Inception
is treasured by. the people of the day.
reborn within their hearts, the country
is safe, ' Its government secure, for Its
citizens are Its soldiers. '
When we think of Washington as a
soldier. It is not as the military servant.
Such a soldier was Wellington. Nor do
we think of him as dictator through
force of arms and military genius. Such
a soldier was Napoleon. But Washing
ton was the volunteer citizen accepting
the duty of citlsenship to its fullest.
Such also was Warren, the experienced
soldier, who, while awaiting his com
mission as general, reported at -Bunker
Hill In a yoeman's suit with a musket
on his shoulder. Command of the re
doubt on Breed's hill .was offered hlnv
No," he said. "I come' as a simple
volunteer; put me where the fight is
thickest.'.' And before the close of the
day he met death as a simple volunteer.
TrlnolpUa Bo Hot Change.
The progress of time, the world's
growth, the rapid change of conditions
which genius, industry, enterprise, the
control of natural forces and the appli
cation of sclentlfio facts create, all tend
towards new beginnings and new ultl- -mates
for each passing, generation. But
the principles of morality change not.
and patriotism can never be other than
that which Washington has defined it to
be. The temptations of wealth, power
and opportunity 'are dangers to that
patriotism. Equally dangerous is dis
satisfaction with moderate conditions
when compared by - Jealous - eye to :
the extravagance of excessive ac
cumulation!. Dangerous also is the an
tipathy ot failure towards success; the
hopelessness which leads to utter care
lessness; th sense of constructive In
justice which entails bitterness of spirit
towards things that are. To return to
what Is termed the simplicity of tha
early days of the republic Is impossible.
Time walks not as the crab. The great
ness that has been with us and which is
still upon us, is to be met 'and welcomed
and directed to the permanent glory of
the state. But to be so directed, tho
spirit of the day we celebrate, reminds
us that the pure simple principles of
patriotism must be applied to the great
ness of the present and the promise of
the future, even as they were the sup
ports of the simplicity of the past
A Contrast.
This was the spirit of our first presi
dent, and this ws believe to be the spirit
of our president of today. Happy the
nation that can so say and so believe.
Some 20 years ago, I stood beneath tha
magnificent dome of the Invalldes in
Paris, gazing through the circular open
ing In the marble hall down Into the gal
lerled vault below. Twelve lamps threw
their subdued light upon the coffin
shaped granite beneath which the body
of the great Napoleon dissolves through
passing ages into Its component parts.
His battle' flags with tarnished eagles
mouldered with hlmi Statues of peace
and progress, cold and white, stood, on
either -side, and figures of victory, laurel
crowned, stood guard at head and feet.
A week before, in the dark crypt of St.
Paul's In London, with eyes pained by
the nickering light, I looked upon a
ponderous funeral car with sable plumes
and trappings of ceremonious grief. ' It
marked the grave of Wellington. My
thoughts strayed as now they stray to
the quiet banks. of the storied Potomac.
There beneath the dome of the universal
sky with the sturdy trees uppn which he
looked and which he loved In life, still
strong, green and upright i as guards
about his bed, rests, not the dead but
the ever living Washington. In London
and Paris is the groan of death for mili
tary splendor at Mount Vernon the
song of immortality for that virtue of
citizenship which never dies. That Is
It which takes the day we celebrate out
of all other days and makes it a day
of life. And as the bells ring upon the
Potomac today, as boats salute in pass
lng that hallowed spot. It Is not a tol
ling for the dead, but a greeting to the
living inspiration as though proclaim
ing, not for this day, not for. any par
tlcular day, but for all time and for all
peoples, the. most potent expression we
can select as the hosanna of the day we
celebrate. "Glory to Ood In the highest,
on . earth peace, good will toward all
mankind."
Arthur P. Tifft read' a paper on the
subject "The Dutchmen la the Rebel
lion." It has been the custom to choose
a subject relative to the part played in
the war. oy foreigners every year. Mr.
Tint's address, la part follows: .
The Sntoh la the Xerelutlon.
In the Mayflower, which finally left
old England behind on the 16th of Sep
tember, 1620, were 102')ersons, at least
one-third of whom were boys and girls
born In Holland. Plymouth, in its first
years, looked far more like a 'Dutch
than an English town, and Dutch cus
toms' were practiced by 'the Pilgrims.
The republican Dutchmen gave New
York Its, cosmopolitan character, In
sured Its commercial supremacy, Intro
duced its . common; schools,'; founded the'
oldest day school,, and the first .Protes
tant church In ' the United States, and
were 'pioneers in most of. the Ideas and
institutions we boast of as distinctly
American. The Empire State is more
the fruit of Dutch civilization than of
English."- ''
The first plan for the confederation
of the colonies was proposed at a meet
ing of commissioners . of ,the several
colonies held at Albany commonly called
the Albany plan.'' ,
- Aided liberty. '
The descendants, of the old Dutch
and Huguenot families were among the
soundest and best, of the population.
In New York, New Jersey and. Pennsyl
vania they .were In overwhelming ma
jority, loyal ; to the American cause.
They inherited the love of liberty, civil
and religious, v iluir. Xoreiatliers, tod .

" New York was a post of. especial
trust and Importance, Washington con-
naed the command to General Philip
Schuylr. .. He was peculiarly fitted for
it by his military talents, his Intimate
knowledge of the province and Us con
cerns, and his experience in Indian af
fairs. . , ..
General Schuyler was. a man eminently
calculated to sympathize with .Washing
ton In all bis patriotic views and feel
ings, and became one of his most faith
ful coadUitors. . Sprung, from one of the
earliest and most, respectable Dutch
families which colonised New York, all
his Interests and affections were Identi
fied with the-country; '. 1
ColonelPeter Gansevoort. of Dutch
descent; received a vote of thanks from

When news of the signing of . the
Declaration of Independence reached
New York, the populace pulled down the
leaden statue o(J3eorge III' and cast it
into ouiiets, to De used against the
king's troops. New York, largely Dutch
in population, was the one state of the
1J which paid, up fully and promptly
ner quotas of men, money and supplies.
The Dutch acted from principle and
their acts showed -more than a love of
trade and enterprise, fn the business of
supplying American privateers and
breaking the British blockade of Ameri
can ports. They were hearty and open
in their . sympathy with the "cause of
freedom and showed their feelings of
friendship to the Americans on every oc
casion by their loan of large1 sums of
money.
General Daniel Morgan, commander of
the celebrated rifle corps which he led
across the wintry wilderness of the Ken.
nebeo in, 1776, when asked which of the
men of the various nations composing
the American armies (in his excellent
judgment) possessed . the best natural
requisite for making good soldiers T
i Morgan replied: "As to the fighting
part of the matter, the men of all na
tions are pretty much alike; they fight
as much -as they find . necessary, and
no more. But. sir, for the grand essen
tial In the composition of the good sol
dier, give me the Dutchman he starves
welt" .
' Dutch. JTation Was Tint. '
The American flag, even before it had
the stars , joined to its stripes, received
Its first salute from a foreign . magis
trate at the Dutch island of St. Eusta-
ttus, in the West Indies, on the 17 th day
of November. 1776, from Fort Orange,
under the command of Johannes de
Graeff.
Into the harbor of St. Eustatlus on
the 16th of January, 1777, came sailing,
the Andrea Dorla, bearing a copy of the
Declaration of Independence, and her
commission from the continental con
gress. Signed ' by John Hancock. She
dropped anchor In front of Fort Orange.
Not many yards away was an English
ship, on. which were Capt John Dean and
Capt John Splcer One of the captains
said with an oath, "That is an American
privateer." These Englishmen watched
the vessel until it dropped anchor and :
noticed that the flag on Fort Orange
was lowered In welcome and in recogni
tion oi the American ship. The Andrea
Doria fired. 11 guns. The commander
returned the salute with two guns less
as If the Andrea Doria were a merchant
man. He did not salute with full num
ber of "honor shots," outwardly he con
formed to the requirements of the law,
actually and purposely he saluted the
flag of the United States of America,
In an official letter written by Christus
Greathead, the British governor of St
Christopher, after speaking of the crew-'
of American ships on the ocean as the
"exiled" and "unnatural" Vebels against
Great Britain, he asks, "Shall It be true
that by the violation of nl public faith
and national honor, a Dutch colony shall
be the avowed adherents of their treach
eries and thrft the fortress of their high
and mighty government" shall be the
first public recognizers of a flag till now
unknown In the catalogue' of national
flags?"
In 1780 brave John Adams was sent to
Paris with power- from the . American
congress to form treaties of peace and
commerce. He was, however, unsuc
cessful. He then went to The Hague,
and after the states-general had formal
ly recognized -the United States of Amer
ica as a nation, a loan by the Dutch mer
chants of $14,000,000 came when our
country needed It most' The herolo gov
