HE CALLS FOR PATRIOTISM Chief Executive's Fourth of July Speooh In Independence Hall, Phila delphia, Urges Modernizing of Dec laration of Independence. Philadelphia, July 7. President Wll-, on thrilled a hugo crowd assembled in Indopondenco square within a few J feet of where the original declaration i was signed by advocating the modern- j izing of the Declaration of Indopond-, enco by applying its principles to tho I business, tho politics and the foreign , pollclos of tho United States. , Following is tho address of Presi dent Wilson In port: "Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens: "Tho Declaration of Independence was written in Philadelphia. It was adopted in this historic building. "But have you over road tho Declar ation of Independence? Whon you have heard it read, havo you attended to Its sontences? "The Declaration of Independence Is not a Fourth of July oration. "Tho Declaration of Independence was a document preliminary to war. It Involved a vital piece of business, not a piece of rhetoric. "If, you will get further down in the reading than its preliminary pas sages, where it quotoa about tho rights of men, you will see that it is a very specific body of declarations concern ing the business of the day, not tho business of our day, for tho matter with which it deals Is post the busi ness of revolution, tho business of 1776. "I have heard a great many facta etated about the presont business con ditions in this country, for example, a great many allegations of facts, at any rate, and it is strange that theso facts as stated do not tally with each other. "Now, the truth always matches the truth, and when I find gentlemen In sisting everything is going wrong when It Is demonstrable that most things ore going right, I wonder what they aro trying to do. Are they try ing to serve the country, or are they trying to serve something smaller than the country? "Are they trying to put hopo into the hearts of men who work and toll every day, or rather, are they putting discouragement and despair into those hearts? y "If they love America and anything is wrong, it is their duty to put their hands to tho task of sotting It right "Whon tho facts are known and acknowledged, the duty of all patriotic men is to accept them in candor and address themselves to common coun sel and to work in harmony and uni versal concert. "I have bad some experiences in the last fourteen months which have not been entlroly refreshing. It was universally admitted that tho banking system of this country needed reor ganization. "Wo met with hardly anything but resistance from the bankers of this country, or at least from the majority of those who said anything. "Yet, Just so soon as that act waB passed, on tho very next day there was a universal chorus of applause from the bankers of tho United States, "Itdw if it were wrong the day be fore It was passed, why was it right the day after it was passed? "Where had been the candor of criticism by tho concert of counsel which makes a great nation success ful? It is not patriotic to concort measures against one another; it is patriotic to concert measure for ono another. "So, I say, It is patriotic sometimes to regard the honor of this country in preference to its material Interests. "Would you rather be despised by all the nations of the world ns incapable of keeping your treaty obligations, or would you rather have free tolls for American ships? Tho treaty may have been a mistake, but its meaning was unmistakable. "When I have made a promise as a man I try to keep It "Tho most honorable and distin guished nation In tho world is the no tion that can keep its promises to its own hurt I want to say, parenthet ically, that I don't think anybody was hurt. "I am not enthusiastic for subsidies to a monopoly, and nobody can y.ot me enthusiastic on that subject. Hot, as suming that was a matter of enthusi asm, I am much moro (cnthuslastlo for keeping tho lntogrity of tho United States absolutely unquestioned and un uullled." Prison Workers Get $20,000.

Democratic Administration Assailed 8ays It Has Failed to Keep Promises to People. Pittsburgh, Pa., July 2. At a Pro gressive rally here on Tuesday night Col. Theodore Roosovelt made tho first wholly political speech he has made since returning to the United States, ud in It he struck the keynoto for the campaign. In the first place he urged the election of Clifford Pln chot as senator and Dean Lewis as governor bocause of their personal worth and as a rebirko to Republicans and Democrats as well as to carry out Progressive principles. The colonel then paid his respects to tho Wilson administration, assert ing that the president and his sup porters had utterly failed to keep their promises of reducing tho cost of liv ing and solving tho trust question by their method of tariff reduction. The administration is pursuing a course, be Bald, that prevents the existence of prosperity and that "does not offer a Blngle sorious or intelligible plan for passing prosperity round should pros perity, In spite of tho administra tion's efforts, at some future time re turn to the people." He declared tho only courso to follow with the trusts and the tariff Is to deal with both through administrative commissions of- ample power. After expressing his well-known opinion of tho Republican bossos and their action at tho Chicago conven tion, Colonel Roosevelt discussed at length tho administration's anti-trust program and then set forth tho Pro gressive view of the business prob lem.
