OFFICIAL CITE PAPER
L S. Keller, Publisher
EDITORIAL
The following is a message which.
President Wilson sent to all of the
four minute men in the United
States and which wag read at all
FVourth of July ceremonies and in
all of the theaters and moving pic
ture shows everywhere. On Thurs
day night, July Fourth, Dr. L. 3.
Keller was the 4 Minute Maa and h$
read the message to a well filled
house at the Popular Picture Pal
ace:
"You are met, my fellow citizens,
to commemorate the signing of the
Declaration of Independence, which,
marked the awakening of a new
spirit in the lives of nations; since
the birth of our republic we have
seen the spirit grow. We have
heard the demand and watched the
struggle for self-government spread
triumphs among many people. We
have come to regard the right to
pelitical liberty as the common
right of human kind. Year after
year within the security of our bor
ders we have continued to rejoice
iu the peaceful increase of free
dom and democracy throughout the
worja ana yet, uuw puuueujv no
are confronted with a menace which
endangers everything that We haye
won and everything the world has
won in all its old insolence. With
all its ancient cruelty and injustice
military autocracy has again armed
itself against the pacific hopes of
men. Having suppressed self-gov
ernment among its own people by a
organization maintained in part by
falsehood and treachery, it has set
out to impose its will upon neigh
bors and upon us. One by one it
has compelled every civilized na
tion in the world either to forego
its aspirations, or to declare war
in their defense. We find our
selves fighting again for our Na
tional existence. We are face to
face with tne necessity of asserting
anew the fundamental rights of
free men to make their own laws and
choose their own allegiance or else
permit humanity to become the vic
tim of a ruthless ambition that is
determined to destroy what it can
not master. Against its threat
the liberty-loving people of the
world have arisen and allied them
selves. No fear has deterred them
and no bribe of material well-being
iias held them back. They have
made sacrifices such as the world
has never kuown before and their
resistance in the face of death and
suffering has proved that the aim
which aulmated the German effort
can never hop© to rule the spirit
of mankind against the hortor of
military conquest, against the empti'
ness of living in mere bodily con
tentment, against the resolution of
becoming part of a state that knows
neither truth nor honor. The world
has so revolted that even people
long dominated and suppressed by
force have now begun to stir and
arm tnemselves. Centuries of sub
jugation have not destroyed the ra
cial aspiration of the many distinct
peoples of Eastern Europe por have
they accepted the sordid ideas of
their political and military masters.
They have survived the slow
persecutions of peace as well as
the agonies of war and now demand
recognition for their just claims to
autonomy aud self-government. Rep
resentatives of these races are with
you today, voicing their loyalty to
our ideals and offering- their
services in the common cause, I
ask you, fellow citizens, to unite
with them in making this our In
dependence Day, the first that shall
be consecrated to a Declaration of
Itdependence for all the peoples of
the world."
On Tuesday night Mr. Paul H.
McClelland gave a four minute
talk at the Popular Picture Pal
ace. His subject was "The Meaning
of the Fourth of July," and vaB
well handled, as Mr. McClelland was
in his happiest mood and interest
ed his hearers for the entire four
minutes and much regret wast mani
fested that he did not have more
time at his disposal. %
A special patriotic service is
being arranged for ne^t Sunday
night at the Presbyterian Church.
Program in tomorrow's paper.
