We know a man who worked forty vears expect-
ing to buy a farm in his latter years; he died before
they arrived
No matter how much money you expect next

The Allied Nations will need their courage dur-
ing the next three months After that, we'll see what

to make a personal contribution to the nation's
cause.
THE DEC LAR ATION OF
INDEPENDENCE
On Saturday, July 4th, the people of the United
States celebrate the anniversary of the signing of the
Declaration of Independence,
The document proclaiming the independence of
the thirteen English eolonies in America, signed by
the delegates to the Continental Congress, was, in
some particulars, no more than a recognition of the
existing state of affairs. Bigned by John Hancock,
the President of the Congress on July 4th, the Declar-
ation was subsequently engrossed on parchment and
signed by fifty-three members of the Congress on
August 2nd.
Undoubtedly, the Declaration of Independence
ranks as one of the important documents of history
Largely drafted by Thomas Jefferson, Ii expresses
the essence of his political philosophy.
This, briefly, is the idea that men are created
equal and endowed by their Creator with certain
inalienable rights, including life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness, To secure these rights, govern-
ments are instituted among men and derive their
just powers from the consent of the governed.
The Declaration asserts whenever any form
t becomes destructive of these ends, it
right of the people to alter or to abolish it,
of

to Institute a new government laying its founds. |
tions on such principles, and organizing its powers
in such form, as shall seem most likely to effect
their safety and happiness
Jefferson pointed out that prudence will dictate
that government long established should not be
changed for light and transient causes and that the
experience of mankind has shown that men are more
disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to
right themselves by abolishing the form to which
they are accustomed
But, he added, when a long train of abuses and
usurpations evince a design to reduce them to ab-
solute despotism, “it is their right, it is their duty,
to throw off such government and to provide safe-
guards for thelr future security”
In other words, the Declaration of Independence
proclaims the right of a people to revolution, It pro-
claims very positively, the right of citizens to alter
or abolish existing forms of government when, tor
any reason new forms seem more lUkely to promote
safety and happiness
In this connection,
The Centre Democrat, celebrating the anniversary
of the historic document take the time necessary
to read its words, The reading will do them good

IN THE LAND OF THE FREE
From so eminent a sotree as The Woman's Home
Companion we find the following editorial of local
flav
or
This Glorious Fourth when you hear the band
play The Star-Spangled Banner, we hope you'll hear
the new and more singable arrangement. Two pat-
riotic musicians—Dr. George Ballade Howard and
Major Howard C. Bronson decided to do something
about the way our anthem was played They found
in the Library of Congress no less than fifty differ-
ent band arrangements for it Even the various
bands in the army could not agree on which version
should be used Each musician remembered the first
version he ever played and stuck to it. The result
was an anthem standard only in title and words,
with the rhythmic pattern, the harmonic structure
end even the notes themselves conforming to no
standard. So these two musicians worked out an ar-
rangement for bands, which cut out the frills and
trumpet calls and is solid and organ-like. It is in A
flat, one tone lower than usual which makes the
range easier for eight out of ten of us ordinary vo-
calizers. There are some rhythm changes and some
harmonic changes, The result is a true song of the
people, which all can sing and play with the same
sense of inspiration—and without gaps or mumbling!
Pennsylvania State College has published it on a
non-profit basis and the Junior Band of Port Matilda
Pennsylvania, is presenting a copy to every band in
the grmy. Take note that this is a voluntary act by
private citizens. Totalitarian states have other ways
of getting everybody to act alike This is the way we
do things in the Land of the Free.”
ATTACKING RUSSIA IN ALASKA?
Japan's attack on the Aleutian Islands may rep-
resent (1) a face-saving expedition: (2) an effort
to secure a base for further advances against the
United States; or (3) an attempt to lock a back door
before attacking the Russians in Siberia.
It is surprising how many officials and writers
jump to the conclusion that the occupation of Aleu-
tian territory has no connection with an attempt to
attack the United States. The general line is that
the Japanese move is connected with an attack upon
Siberia!
This may turn out to be the case but the safest
assumption for us to make is that the occupation
of Aleutian territory, which places the enemy many
hundreds of miles closer to Alaska and the West
Coast, Is the initial stage of an offensive staged
against us.
Obviously, occupation of a number of Aleutian
Islands would be of strategic importance to Japan
in any eampaign directed against the United States.
There is little use for us to go as far as Siberia to
find a motive for the attack,
