This anniversary of the nation's birth finds us worthily

world fighting for world freedom as our fathers fought
in '70" for national freedom and against the same common
enemy autocracy.
As America in '7(J was the inspiration of the world's
liberty so America in '17 is the inspiration of those who
prefer Uberty to a.fettered life. We fight for the destruc
tion of autocracy and the emancipation of mankind the
opening of a greater opportunity than humanity has yet en
joyed. We fight for progress, for democracy, for liberty.

THE DESIRABILITY
W1I10N the colonies were entering the struggle for
independence, Thomas Paine wrote a great essay
on the desiribility of independence. What he said then
finds expression today as fitting as when the words were
penned. This is what he said:
"The period of debate is closed. Anns, as the last re
source, must decide the contest; the appeal was the choice
oMhe king, and the continent hath accepted the challenge.
(Today the appeal was the choice of the despot and the
world accepts the challenge).
"The sun never sliined on a cause of greater worth
It is not the concern of a day, a year, or an age, posterity
are virtually involved in the contest, and will lie more or
less allected, even to the end ot tune, by the proceedings
now.
" My referring the matter from arguments to arms, a new
era lor pnlitiks is struck, a
arisen, ah plans, proposals,
commencement of hostilities,
last year, which, tho proper
less now.
O ye that love mankind! Ye that (hire oppose not
only tyranny but the tvrant, stand forth!"
