Chapman of Port land, hutorlan, editorial writer, achnl ar and patriot who thla morning n he Happy I'anyon pavilion delivered hefore n large audience one of the mos' misterh Independence Da' addreKnea ever heard In thla city. lr. Chapman interpreted the mean ing of the American revolution and translated the purposes of our coun try's fathers in boldly forsaking the beaten patha o, government to estab lish a new form bttilt upon the wishes of a whole people. He described the conditions under which this first republic waa created and developed and contrasted them with the conditions of today And he Bounded n warning t" the American people nf today that, unless they as sert themselves the sacred ideals 0) our fathers are In danger of becoming little noire than vanished dreams. The problem! which confront the Ameri can public today are greater than those of our fathers and unless they are solved thla government cannot be the land of freedom and liberty thai our fathers Intended. The following la a synopsis of the telling points in I'r. Chapman's ad dreae. The American revolution had two effects on history, the first of which was to transform the nature of the Hrltish empire from an empire built on force to an empire built on free consent The llritlsh empire of today is but a union of self-governing na tions such as Canada. Australia. New Zealand and South Africa. Many languages, reglllons, races and histor ies are Involved but the empire Is still a solid one. held together not by an army but by an Idea. England Is tha piy hn center, the head of the fam ily The llritlsh empire Is a living ev idence that Institutions are not sus tained by physical force. The second effect ot the American revolution wua to make the United States Independent The founders were visionaries, theorists. Utopians, determined to make the old dreams COtne true, namely the dreams of free dom, happiness, peace and equality. Then great dream waa that the gov ernment should express the wlshea of the peopli Before this government. govern ments had expressed the pride and greed nf the ruling clasaes such as those of Rome and Venice or of the pel annul desires and passions of kinga such as in France and Austria. These governments were built upon old tra ditions and superstitions and full ot old cruelties, hatreds and wrongs. iiur fathers resolved to found 1 new kind of government, leaving out the tyranny, wrong and hate and pul ling In human welfare. No Military Empire. The environment favored their plan. Geographically their country was cut Off by sea from Europe and Its sys tem near enough for trade and friendship It was yet too far for war Nor had they any powerful neighbors in their own continent and thus were they free to work out the destiny ot I heir country. Same Condition Still. Foreign nations have never both ered us much, Our trouble! lone been ni inn own making. What was true in those early da. is true today. The oceans still sep arate us from the old world and Its wars and the panic dreams of Invasl ni are mere nightmares. o Unhampered the fathers began to worK out their dream and It Is I dream still unhampered from with nut.
