Entered at the Poatoffiee In Salem, THE FOURTH OF JULY iThe Fourth of July suggests so many J paradoxes that they dazzle us. A Declaration of Independence seemed in 1776, from v one ; point of view, sheer madness ; then in the next moment the signers represented lands and learning. Some of them had been educated in England,' and the dignity ' of themeri overshadowed the apparent folly of the moment ous movement. ; .'v j- v K f :; 1i ' ' I : "A so-called republic without credit, without' an army, , without a fleet, might be ridiculed : : . ; -u: . Was ridiculed at home as weft as abroad. f ' I But whenever that bankrupt course was at the seaming last gasp,; somebody in thejQld World lent money or ; fur nished us supplies. To that ragged army came La Fayette, the French Marquis; and a band of skilled officers. In those . camps of hunger and nakedness was a soldiership due to that master of German tactics; Steuben. At the head of those unpaid and shivering troops was George Washington, sur veyor, soldier, planter and in all things man' of dignity Time - after time were our soldiers worsted." Indeed they, tost near ly all the minor battles of the war. But when they captured K Burgoyne they' won the" French alliance, and when they cap tured Cornwallis the British lion deemed it well to make peace. T?i.-?. "'rV "' f 1 "r r r ' ' What we called our navy was poorly armed and poorly equipped.' Our crews were poorly paid and poorly fed. Most of our stronger craft were taken by the enemy. We could not protect our coasts. But these irregular cruisers so irregular that we hardly know which were men-of-war and which privateers, took prizes in the English Channel. The coast of Scotland was alarmed. London merchants made a ceaseless outcry because of the damage done to British com merce. It seemed folly for John Paul Jones to setforth in a -worn out merchantman, yet in that made-over merchant ' man he captured a fine British frigate just outside the port of Scarborough. A naval architect might have ridiculed our " entire force; yet it wrought deeds worthy of imperishable , record. : . . jf r v. i ;;;:.f Few were our schools. Scantily endowed were our col leges. Hostile ships kept us away from Old World art. and science. K But. the best known! philosopher of that era was Benjamin Franklin. Crude as were, his instruments, David Rittenhouse was a genuine astronomer. Thomas Jefferson was a great thinker; accumulating poise with experience. Alexander Hamilton was learning how to write state papers. ' John Marshall was maturing for the Chief Justiceship. Only four years after the end of the struggle we were getting i ready for that Constitution which Gladstone pronounced the most remarkable document ever struck of f; at a, given time from the brains of men f t r i !: - . And even after our Independence was acknowledged the poverty and provincialism of the" times seemed - destined to wreck us. But Shay's ' rebellion is almost forgotten and Hamilton's financial policy is not. We can scarcely believe that the British once held the Delaware. We know that the ' J young republic looked eagerly to the Mississippi. In 1783 we i could i scarcely believe that i we had cut j loose from Great Britain V ! . i. ' ' "And in 1803 we bought a mighty empire from France. i Our seamen were held as slaves in Barbary. Yet into Tripoli harbor went Decatur for what Nelson called "the most daring act of the age." We counted our workshops as crude affairs beside the splendid plants of Gauls and Britons. 4 Yet Robert Fulton, disappointed in France and England, came home to steam up the Hudson. - ;j 1 - , v Our second war with Great Britain brought to us a blazing capital, yet the invaders were worsted; and within seven years of the burning of Washington we were ready to purchase Florida, j It seemed madness to defy Great Britain, yet indepen dence was won The vast Louisiana area puzzled us "these wilds immeasurably spread'-' angered many. However, Lewis and Clarke were soon on their westward trip. Parliament roared at the crazy-plan of letting seventeen cruisers venture on the ocean where Great Britain had seven hundred, Never theless the London Times said : "Scarcely an American man-of-war that cannot boast a victory over the British flag. Hardly a British ship, that can boast a victory over the American-' . . .V .kv; . -jr v; W And nearly everything we did seemed absurd until it was done. Our claims echoed of bedlam until they were borne out by .facts. It is marvelous that our (seemingly hopeless cause made an undying, impression on Lord Chatham It is strange that the noblest orations in Parliament were those in which Burke spoke for the colonies. What looked like madness proved to be wisdom. What, seemed impossible was done under critical eyes. The little one became a thousand, and the small one a strong nation, for the Lord hastened it in Hs time. 3- -i 'ivi" rrH i'i :'r ;-; : The vast ocean and the wide plains and 'dense forests and high mountains and gwif t rivers favored and fought for the forces battling for freedom f j.' , N ' .

' i OL'tt DUTY TO POSTERITV ; (By Horace Mann) : "- July 4. 1842 And yet, let me again say, how obvious it is. that we stand in the same relation to posterity that our ancestors do to us And, as we boldly summon our forefathers to our tribunal for adjudication upon their conduct so will our con duct be brouht into Judgment by our ; successors. Each generation has 4 duties of its own to perform: and our duties, though widely dif ferent from theirs, are not less im portant in tneir character, or less binding in their obligations. It was their duty to found or estab lish our Institutions, and nobly did they perform it. It ' is our duty to perfect and perpetuate these institutions; and the most solemn question which can be pro pounded to this age is, are we per forming it nobly? ' Shall poster ity look back upon -our present rulers- as we lopk back upon Arn old, or as we look back upon Washington? Shall posterity look back upon us as we look back up on the recreants who sought to make Washington dictator, and would hare turned those arms against their country, which had been put into their hands to saye her? Or shall posterity look back upon us with the heart throbbings the tears and passionate admira tion, with which j we regard the Sarior-like martyrs who, for our welfare in lonely dungeons and pri&onships, breathing-a noisome atmosphere their powerful : and robust frames protracting . their tortures beyond the common en durance of nature, until they slowly but literally perished by starvation and when the min ions of power came round, day after day, and offered them life and freedom and a glad return of the upper air, if they would desert their country's cause -refused and died. ' ?'",. I have said that it is our espec ial .and appropriate duty to per fect and perpetuate the Institu tions which we have received. 1 am aware that this has been said, for the last 50 years, thousands of times every year. I do not re iterate the sentiment, therefore, for its originality; nor even for its importance; but for the sake - of Inquiring Iri what manner this work is to be done? It has long seemed to me that it would be more honorable to our ancestors, to praise them, in words, less; but, in deeds, to imitate them more. If from their realms of blessedness they could address us, would they not say: ""Prove the sincerity of your words by Imi tating the examples you i profess to : admire. The inheritance . we left you is worthless, unless you hare inherited the spirit also by which it was acquired. ' The boon we would bequeath to the latest posterity can never reach and bless them,' save " through your hands; In these spiritual abodes, whence all disturbing, passions are excluded, where all Illusions are purged from our eyes, we can neither be beguiled nor flattered by lip-srvice. Deeds are the only language we understand; and one act of self-sacrifice for the wel fare of mankind is more accepta ble to us than if you should make every: mountain and hill-top , a temple to hallow our names, and gather thither the whole genera tf&n as worshipers."; r - j THE WORLD'S BIRTHDAY GREATEST PARTY f Benson J. Lossing, in his Field-Book of the Revolu tion, gives thie account of the adoption of the Declara tion of Independence: "It was two o'clock in the after noon when the final decision was announced by Secretary Thomson to the assembled congress in Independence hall. It was a moment of solemn interest; and when , the secretary sat down a deep ; silence pervaded that .august assembly. Thousands of an xious citizens had gathered in the streets of Philadel- - phia, for it was known that the final decision Was to be made on that day. From the r hour when congress convened In the morning, the old bell man had been In the steeple. He placed. a boy at the door below, to give him notice .when the-... .announcement M should be made. As hour ' 'succeeded hour, the gray beard shook his head and said, They will never do it! They will nfver do It!' Sud denly a loud chout came up , from below, and there stood ; the blue-eyed boy clapping his hands and shouting, 'Rlng! ' ring!' Grasping the iron tongue of the old bell and I leaning backward and for ward he hurled it a hundred times, its loud voice pro ; claiming. 'Liberty through : out all the land, unto all the the Inhabitants thereof.'- The excited multitudes In -the j streets responded with loud acclamations and with can " non peals, bonfires and 11- -5 luminations, the patriots 5 . held a glorious carnival that ; night in the quiet city of 1 Penn." , : The Declaration was adopted on July 4th. but on that day was signed only by John Hancock, the president of the congress, and Charles Thomson, the secretary. A few days later congress ordered that the Declaration be engrossed on parchment and "signed f by every member of the congress." This engrossed copy was signed on August 2, 1776. There has always been considerable doubt as to how many members ' actually signed on August 2nd, and as to the date when the others affixed their sig natures, but according to the best authorities, 50 of the 56 ! men1 whose names appear on the parch ment copy of the Declaration, signed on August. 2nd, and the others, who were not present on that date, signed shortly . there-i after. : ; -,": I It will be observed from tbcj foregoing account of the. "procead-j ings of congress that there ar" three dates which might reason ably be considered as marking the birth of the independence of America. These dates are the 2nd of July, when Lee's resolu tion of independence was adopt ed, the 4th of July, when the Declaration was adopted, and Au gust 2nd, when the Declaration was signed. Many people think it a trifle strange that more .im portance has not been attached to the 2nd of July in connection with the adoption of independence. The resolution introduced ibv Richard Henry Lee which de clared our independence and which was the actual legal act "ol separation from the British gov ernment was passed on that day. That was the big and vital eet of the whole procedure, the idop tion of the form of declaration being a matter of secondary im portance. However, by . the com mon consent of the people, of the country,, our greatest of anniver saries has been dated from the passage of the Declaration ' on July 4th, and will remain sb until the end of time. Washington at Celebration , j; ' immediately after the adoption fo the Declaration : congres i ord ered copies of it printed and sent to the governing bodies ot each of the states, and also to the!-otXi-cers of the army. Considering the lack of transportation facili ties of those days it is remarkable how quickly these copies reached their destinations. The Declara tion was received everywhere with great joy and approval, and noisy celebrations. New York celebrated . the big event on July 4 th: The festivities took place on the "Commons," the present location of the cfty hall, where Mayor Hylan presides. The Revolutionary troops formed in a hollqw square. General Wash ington was present on horseback. The Declaration was read toy one of Washington's aides. Never be fore had there been such a gath ering in the city of New York. Practically every man. woman and child bad assembled to hear the momentous words of the never-to-be-forgotten document. Such Joyful cheering had never (before been heard. That night Washing ton's brave soldiers celebrated the occasion by marching down to Wai Be All the Salem fitor, 466 State St. ,:j Hi ; I i ij ; Kafoury the lower end of Manhattan Isl and and pulling over the . equest rian statue jot George the Third, which stood in the center of Bowl ing Green. That' statue, by the way, was the first equestrian sta tue erected j on the continent i. of North" . America. ' It was made ot lead and gilded i to. represent gold. The thrifty j Americans- melted it up and converted It into' perfectly good bullets which they, rammed Intoj their rifles! and used against the enemy at the first opportun ity.;? . ; : ' , :,-, . ; ; Boston had Just as noisy a cel ebration as New York, i The Dec laration was proclaimed amid the ringing' of bells, salutes from the forts and volleys j'of musketry from the troops Assembled to hear ft read.; Uifderj cover of darkness, the happy crowds paraded up and down the streets and tore down every sign which bore the coat of arms of the King or any reference to-rdyalty, and also every sign be longing to the Tories, and made a huge bonfire ot them. The King in Effigy , At Baltimore and many other places an effigy of the King of England was carted through the streets,! accompanied by a large concourse of people, and finally burnt amid the cheers of .the pop ulace. .- Savannah, Georgia, In addition to celebrating the event with the usual bell , ringing and artillery salutes, held a solemn funeral ser vice. A newspaper of that period gives, this account of it: There was exhibited a very solemn fun eral procession, attended by th Grenadiers " and Light Infantry companies and other militia with their drums-muffled and fifes and a greater number j bf people, than ever appeared on any occasion be fore in this provisce, when George the Third was interredbefore the Court House with a mock funeral service." . ! The celebration at Trenton. N. J., Is described by an ancient pubr lication as follows: "The members of the provincial congress, the gentlemen of . the committee, the officers and' privates of the militia under arm and a large concourse of the Inhabitants attended on this great , and solemn occasion The Declaration land other pro ceedings were received with loud acclamations." vjj s - . V ' The proceedings at Princeton, N., J., are thus described by the Pennsylvania Packet, of July 15, 1776: "Last night Nassau Hall was grandly Illuminated, and -independency proclaimed under a triple volley of musketry and uni versal acclamation for the pros perity of the United States. The ceremony wa.c conducted with the greatest decorum." At! Bridgeion, N. U., the Declar ation was read In front of the court ' house. . "After which the peace officers' staves, on which were depicted the King's coat of arms, with other ensigns of royal ty, were burnt in the-street. The whole' was conducted v with the greatest decency and regularity." An address was made by Dr. Eb enezer Elmer.

It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to Almighty God. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, . bon fires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time . forward forever more." . ' A Prophecy Fulfilled There is no denying that this prophecy has been fulfilled to the letter. Not once, in all the Inter vening years, have the American peoplefalled to properly and Joy ously delebrate Independence Day. At the first anniversary in 1777, the Revolutionary troops were at Morristown, N. J., and the day was celebrated with bonfires : and speech making. Each soldier re ceived extra rations in honor ot the great event. In 1778 there were bonfires' and salutes of 13 pieces of cannon. This program was repeated the folowlng year, and, in addition, a general pardon was granted all prisoners in the army who were under sentence of death. .The last celebratioon in the Revolutionary Army took place In-1782. The entire army was formed along the banks of the Hudson, on each side of the river, while a salute ot 13 cannon was fired at West Point. The contin ental j congress never failed to celebrate the anniversary. Philadelphia celebrated- the first anniversary in rather unique fas hion. The many armed ships in the harbor were gaily decorated and fired salutes o 13 guns. In the afternoon a dinner was given to the members of Congress with the leading military and civil of ficials as guests. The music for this dinner- was . furnished by a Hessian band which was captured at Trenton the preceding Decem ber. History tells us the band "heightened the festivity with some fine performances suited to the Joyous occasion." The 56 men who signed the Declaration of .Independence have always been honored with love and reverence.

The best ash for making baseball bats is what is called "second growth white ash." This second growth ash is the part of the tree which grows after a tree has first been cut down. Second growth is toughter and straighter grained than the virgin ash. Logging the trees to a lumber mill after they are cut is the first things which must be done to make your baseball bat. At the lumber mill the tree is barked, sawed, and cut into handy lengths. Buyers from tlve great sporf.ng goods' manufacturers inspect this wood at the lumber mills, buy up a lot of ; it, and have it sent to their factories.

Such notes no one ever had heard; -Whenever she trilled With envy she filled Blanehe B, Jay. whose voice was absurd. . ' The birds all went to Miss Ele anor Oriole's concert. Her voice was the talk of the woods. Every one predicted, a great future- for her. After a year of study abroad sha would surely take the bird kingdom by storm. "Those clear. high notes! " sighed Florence Robin. , "What wouldn't I give to be able to sing lik m that?" "Isn't her technique marvelous?" in the not far distant future a beautiful memorial in their hon or will be erected at the nation's capital. In this meromial ought to be placed busts or statutes ot the signers, so " that, the present and future . generations , would know, what sort of looking men they were. Oa the walls of this memorial ought to be hung large paintings by our best artists por traying the leading Incidents up. to and during the Revolution. . ( The' signing of 'the Declaration required patriotism,- statesman ship, and nerve-i-lota of nerve. When these signers declared that they would be ''absolved from all allegianco to the British crown" they went on record as being in open rebellion, and if the colonies were defeated the signers would be regarded as traitors and treat ed accordingly. J These great men fully realized the situation but not for a single moment did they wa ver. They merely laughed and joked at, the possibility of future personal danger. When; John Hancock, the president of the con tinental congress, wrote' his' big flourishing signature on the Dec laration he smilingly' remarked: "There, John Bull may read my name without spectacles and may now double his reward, of 500 pounds for myjhead; we must b unanimous, there must be no pull ing different ways, we must all bang together.!' To' this remark good old Benjamin Franklin re plied, "We . must indeed, all hang together, or moat assuredly, -we shall hang separately." Benjamin Harrison, of Virginia, who was quite fat, turned to Elbridge Ger ry of Massachusetts, who -was small and skinny, and said, VWhen it comes to the hanging I shall have the advantage of. you, it will be all over with me long before you have done kicking in the air." 'There go a few millions,", com mented one of the members as Charles Carroll, who was. one of. the richest men in the' colonies, signed the parchment. " Caroll again dipped his quill in the' ink and added after his signature," "of Carrollton." dryly remarking that he did so in order to make sore that they would not get the Wrong Carroll. J: j , .
