INDBPEN i DffiNCE HALL WHERE fiie DECLARATION INDEPENDENCE WAS SIGNED J IfLY 4- 1 776 LOYE OF COUNTRY. A Fourth of July Sermon by Rev. Newell Dwlght HIM Psalms cxl.: "God hath not deaH so with any other nation." , Once more our people have come to the day that celebrates patriotism and tho love of liberty. For thought ful men who are familiar with the rise of liberty, the Fourth of July is till the golden day In the calendar of free Institutions. This high day of Yhe Republic holds many associations with the two Adamses, with Hamilton and Jefferson, with Madison and Washington, and the holiday is be come an urn that overflows with sac red and .perfumed treasure. During the lant fifty years of the Republic the Fourth of July was the one out standing day, for Thanksgiving had not yet been made universnl, while Decoration Day and 'Labor Day, and the birthday of Lincoln, had not yet been born. In Athens, on the high day of the city, the citizens arrayed themselves in white robes, wore girdles of blue, standing for civic purity, and went forth In solemn procession, cleansed ohemselves from all grime; the men marched carrying 'paloi branches, the children carried flowers, the maids and matrons chanted hymns, the priests swung to and from the censer, filled with golden Incense. But when flhe procession, representing the strength and beauty of Athens, came to the votive altar of tho Goddess Athenae, they covered the white marble with flowers and perfumed boughs. Hot otherwise did Daniel Webster, wltfh reverence and ever-Increasing so lemnity, anticipate 'the approach of the Fourth of July. To the very last the thought of Independence Day suf fused his eyes with tears and filled him with a tumult of noble emotions. And for all citizens of the Republic today this approaching day of pat riotism and liberty should stir civic pride, the Jove of country, and the re n U of the dedication of life and gifts to the cause of the Republic, that represents today the hope of all the .people of the earth. STATUE OF ALEXANDER HAM ILTON. By William Ordway Partridge. Standing 1ft from of Hamilton Club, Brooklyn, N. Y. Today tho President and the Re public occupy the centre of the world's atage. Just now our country looms large In the world's affairs. If the President"? figure rises above the oth er nation rulers, it is because he stands upon tho shoulders of country men who are supported by a great country. Gone forever the thought tihait the Republic Is an experiment! "What do I think about free Institu tions nnd democracy," exclaims Car lyJe. "I think that America Is a place where a few wise men: discuss prob lems and many fools settle them." The English premier In 1850 gave us forty more years. And yet what na tion has grown and prospered like ours? Government Is for the protec tion of life, property, family, reputa tion and liberty. But surely there never ihas been an hour in the history of the Republic w'tvn the millions were so happy or so prosperous, or when they possessed In so large meas ure their political and industrla rights, their social and their civic rights. What! Democracy an experi ment? It Is the other forms of gov ernment that are experimental. Auto cracy is the government of one. The limited monarchy Ib the government by the few. Democracy is the gov ernment by the many. Today auto cracy 1b experimental. Witness Rus sia! That Government may fall any day. (Limited monarchy and aAstoc racy are experimental. Witness Spain and Austria! No statesman knows what a year may bring forth. A mon archy Is a battleship that can be auiik with a single bombshell. The republic is a rait, and a dozen bomb shells through each Jog of the raft would not sink tho whole. lit is easy to destroy a government of but one ruler; it is Impossible to destroy a government where all tho millions are rulers. 'Abe most conservative, pru fUut and stable govenuueat la a gov ernment of all, by all and for all. Hist ory Is full of the ruins of all the other forms of government. The old monarchies already seem like ancient oaks, rotted out at the heart, and no man knows what storm will bring them crashing down. At last the Re public Is avenged. She might even have the right to turn her face toward the east and say of Russia, Austria and Germany: "Now I give you forty years. After your Niagara, what? Yours is a country where wise busi ness men and scholars discuss prob lems and one feeble-minded ruler de cides them." For events have turned every argument today In favor of the republic and against autocracy and bureaucracy. Who oan overestimate the Import ance of these anniversary days of lib erty, these holidays thai, commemorate 6he beginning of free institutions! Al ways when patriotism has revived, na tional wealth and prosperity have re vived iwlth It. The great ago for the Isles of Greece, where Plato thought and Sappho sang, was the day when every citizen was a paitrlot, sincere, heroic and ready to die for ihls coun try. The great epoch of art, beauty and liberty for Florence was the era when patriotism, like a mighty flood, swept over Italy. The gold,-n age for little Switzerland, with ltl brilliant past; for brave lltrtle Holland and for glorious old England was the age when patriotism was at its best. And what our land needs, above all else, after a revival of ethics and right eousness. Is a revival of patriotism and love of country. highly rojolve henceforth to live or our country and Its Institutions, than tho Republic may become the guide of all the world and tho teacher of all nations In the art of self-government and the .principles of liberty. New York World. ll Is given to citizens of otiher na tions to exult and cry, "This Is mine own, my native land." But how much more to Americans! Is It material wealth? Lift up your eyes and look out upon these lakes and rivers, the vineyards and orchards, the pastures and meadow, the herds and flocks. What wealth we already have! W'hat wealth also exceeding more Is to be our! Is It a great history that strengthens patriotism? Think of the Pilgrim Fathers, the heroic age In the country's ihlstory, the scenes at Bunker Hill and Valley Forge, the victory for Independence, Webster's struggle for liberty and union; States one and Inseperable; think of the victory for the schools lor children, tho hospitab, the philan thropies, the reforms, the laws. Think of these halls of science, the galleries of art, the chapols, the libraries, the churches with their lofty towers. Is it a noble ancestor? Ah, the fathers and founders stained with their life blood thl3 banner of liberty and made bright these stars on the fky of hope. Yen, the fathers have made vows for us. Our dead heroes have given pledges lor us and our children. To us they bequeathed all this treasure. Ours these States, ours tho declara tion of liberty, ouns the Constitution, ours the poets, the orators, the states men, the soldiers. Tho Republic is a storehouse filled with all the treas ures of the past. On this high day of liberty let us BifTf-fcrttic I had a diary Christmas, And father laughed and salA, "If you'll keep that till the Fourth o July I'll give you a dollar, Ned." Queer way to earn a dollnr. But easy as a b c; So I put It In my secret box, Safe under lock and key. It's a pretty book bright red leath er And Spud Jones wairts to swap. He said he'd give me his two-blade knife And his second-best spinning top. But I'd rather have tho dollar. So I put It away again; The pagos are just as clean and white Not a bit of a spot or stain. Father asked me last Sunday, "Are you keeping that diary, Ned?" And when I said "Yes," he looked surprised. "Well done, little son," he said. Fourth comes a week from Tuesday, And oh, I can't hardly wait, For Spud's got a dollar too, and so I tell you we'll celebrate! We're going to buy some plnwheels, Those things that whiz round In rings Crackers, of course, like we always have, And whole heaps of other things Big Roman candles that send up stars All iyellow and red and blue Oh, I Just hope father'Jl want me to keep A diary next year, too! Firecracker Fan. One of the clever novelties designed to delight youngsters upon the Fourth of July, a3 well as before and after, Is the firecracker fan. At first glance It looks like a nice red giant t'.recracker. but you make the mistake of your life If you touch lighted punk or any sort of fire to the realistic string which dangles from one end. Instead It Is etiquette to pull the string. Just ipull it steadily and out comes a full-fledged fan, the round, pleated sort, a near relative of the old-fashioned pistol fan. The fan part is of the daintiest blue patterned around the edge with tiny pink posies. This, together with the gorgeous red of tho firecracker handle, goes to make a fan of the gayest attractive ness. It is not Btretchlng matters to say It looks altogether Celestial, mean ing that It smacks of the Celestial Kingdom. nnstlcss Highways. Tu3tless roads would te a great blessing to all communities. Some gonlus eventually will solve the prob lem of preventing dust from rUIng on roadways; meanwhile much ap parently Is being accompilshed to ward that and In several foreign countries. Tho European method of road treatment to prevent dust Is inter esting to all municipalities. It ap pears that abroad there Is the same complaint concerning dusty streets on account of automobiles and mo tor wagons that there Is In America. On the macadam roads in England the automobiles not only cause clouds of dust, but loosen the ma cadam by suction, while heavy en gines aftd motor wagons crush and destroy the surface smoothness of the roads. The result has been to Increase heavily the expense of road maintenance and to exerclso the in genuity of county surveyors In de vising means of suppressing dust and constructing roads suited to I modern traffic conditions. Tho Nottingham rounty surveyor, It Is claimed, after experimenting for many years, bellevos ho has solved the problems of both dust and durability. This official 3 said to have first tried tar washing, a pro cess now much talked about for roads, but found It only a tempo rary palliative. The tar was chiefly absorbed by the joints of the pav ing and only partially adhered to tho material, and after a few months a dust resulted which ho considered wor3e than ordinary soil dust. He neit tried tarring slag, granite and limestone by tho road side, but the heating of the material to a point necessary to make the tar adhere made It brittle and not suit able for heavy traffic, and the pro cess was, besides, very slow and a public nuisance. Determined to succeed, If possible, the experimenter then removed his apparatus to an iron foundry and tried hot slag taken from tho fur nace, the first attempt of the kind, It Is said. Tho experiment worked to a charm, and with the mixture of a toughening adjunct a water-proof road material was created. This process has been patented. Not only Is tho former work of heat ing dispensed with, but tho material is not brittle, and being uniformly hot to the centre it sucks In the tar. The process of artificial heating leaves the centre of the material relatively cold, nnd tho reverse of feot ensues, the tar being in a degree rejected. This preparation is styled "tar mac." It Is applied to a road with out any digging or grading beyond mere leveling. Two layers are used, the lower two and a quarter and the upper one and three-quarters Inches thick. Steam rolling reduces the thickness to three Inches. A five-mile section of road between Nottingham and Radcliffe a no toriously low bad gravel road was used to test the preparation. This stretch of road Is now sale! to be one of the finest In England smooth as asphalt, mudless in wet weather, in dry weather dustless, with ordi nary traffic, and nearly so with the swift passage of automobiles. A "tarmac" road Is not asserted to be better than asphalt for general use, but It Is claimed not to be slippery like asphalt when wet, and is said to cost much less to lay barely a sixth as much, according to local ex perience. This road was made in parts at different times. One section has been down for five years and other sec tions for two or three years. The traffic over the road is unusually great, particularly in automobiles, traction engines and the like, but seemingly without uny injurious ef fect, for no repairs have been need ed. No rolling Is required to keep the road in condition. Tho cost of tho five miles of "tarmac" was $7300 per mile. 'The cost of maintaining the road before tarmac1- was used was $1460 per mile a year. This tarmac road is expected to last about ten years without expense for repairs. In Germany success is reported also with the "goudronuage" treat ment of roads to prevent dust. In this case "goudronite," being a preparation of tar, petroleum and sand, la applied to the roadbed much after the manner of "tarmac." Boston Globe. 1 a,...
