The continental congress, In session in Philadelphia, passed July 2, 1770, the resolu tion presented In behalf of "Vir ginia by Richard Henry Leo thnt begins: "Hcsolved, Thnt these Uni ted Colonies nro and of right ought to be freo and Independ ent states; thnt they are ab solved from nil nllleglance to the British crown, nnd tlyit all political connection between them nnd the stnto of Great Britain Is and ought to bo totally dissolved." This of course Is the real Declaration of Inde pendence, the document now known ns the Declnra tlon being adopted two days Inter. Of the udop tlon of the Lee resolution John Adams wrote to his wife the historic letter which says, umong other things: "The second day of July, 1770, will bo the most remarkable epoch. In the history of America. I am npt to believe that It will ho celebrated by ucccedlng generations ns the great anniversary festlvul. It ought to be commemorated ns tho Iay of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solmcnlzed with nmp nnd parade, with shows, games, sports, bells, lionflres nnd Illumination from one end of this continent to tho other, from this time forward for evermore." TImo hns proved thnt John Adnms, though ho got his dates mixed, was a true prophet. Probably the Fourth of July Is our distinctively American celebration. All the civilized world celebrates New Yenr's, Easter, Memorial day, Thanksgiving nnd Chrlstmns In ono way or another. But Inde pendence day Is ours alone. To be sure, we hnvo "Washington's birthday nnd Lincoln's blrthdny, which are also ours alone but "tho Fourth" In cludes most If npt all of what they stand for. In short tho Fourth of July comes mighty near being our national dny when tho American Eagle screams for everything from the Mayflower to tho Argonne from 1020 to November 11, 1918. Armistice day! That Introduces the pertinent point thnt another change must be made In tho long evolution of the celebration of the Fourth of July. FoV If tho Fourth of July stands for one npeclilc thing that one specific thing Is Just ex actly what Its original nnme Independence day filgnlfles. And after Armistice day and nil that It stands for It's quite evident thnt tho American cnglo must be taught to coo Instend of scream when It goes to the John Bull part of Its perform ance. ' For wo hnvo seen ous old-time two-time enemy fighting for his life nnd for our lives too against a foo that would have destroyed all that wo English-speaking peoples In common hold denr. And after a long while wo crowded In alongside our ancient enemy nnd got busy'' to mako up for lost tlijie. Never mind who won tho wnr. Wo havo gumption enough to know exactly what John Bull did for Uncle Sam and nro grateful accordingly. And It's quite likely that Undo Sam came near enough to saving John Bull's life to feel something more than a friendly Interest In him. So some parts of our Fourth of July celebration will havo to bo toned down from now on. Moreover, It's high time thnt tho American peo ple put their mind to fixing up .the "day we cele brate." For tho Fourth of July celebration right now Is betwixt nnd between. Tho old-fashioned Fourth wns dono away wjth. Tho "Sano Fourth" ' supplanted It. Now the "Sane Fourth" Is In dan ger of becoming mdrely a holiday. Holiday cele brations, like men and nations, do not stand still. And tho Fourthsof July Is worth tho closest at tention and best effort of tho American people. Tho first Fourth of July celebration, which was held In J777 In Philadelphia, canot servo ns a mod ol. Its principal featuro was a banquet nt which many toasts were drank, ench toast being follow- cd by tho discharge of firearms and cannon. Cer tainly too "wet" nnd possibly too noisy.

"There's the mnll over In tho box," said tho postmaster. "Help yourself." "What do you mean, help myself?" dotnnnded the Inspector Indignantly. "You're postmnster, nren'tyou?" "I mean If you don't care enough about your fnnll to get It yourself, you ran ro without It," proclaimed the postmaster. "Look here," enmo back tho Inspec tor, flashing his badge. "I'm the In spector for this district, nnd I won't stand for this kind of service." Then the landlord-postmaster enmo to life. Ho Jerked open a drawer of his desk and brought out n revolver of huge dimensions. "You're the guy I been lookln' for for the last year," ho shouted. "I been wrltln' letters nnd wrltln' letters to Washington to get rid of this dnmti post ofllce and they won't even answer 'em. Now, Mr. Inspector, you don't get out of this plnce till you take your post ofllce with you 1" bratlon of Independence dny. The enthusiasm of our people for their country and flag can usually be measured by the beat of the national pulse. A typical celebration of tho day Is that of 1830 In Buffalo. N. Y., which Is described 'at some length In the Buffalo Journal. That newspaper says: "The return of our national Jubilee was cele brated In this village with more thnn ordinary splendour nnd tho day was dulyvjhonoured, 'not In the breach hut tho observance.'" Tho procession formed at the Eagle a famous tavern located on Main street between Court and Eagle streets and consisted of veterans of tho Revolutlon'cltlzens and strangers, escorted by tho Washington nnd Frontier guard and the cadets of tho Western Literary and Scientific academy, "the whole enlivened by muslck from the Buffalo band." The oration was pronounced by Sheldon Smith, Esq., nt the Bnptlst church and religious services wero conducted by Rev. Mr. Shelton of St. Paul's. From tho church tho procession mnrehed to tho Buffalo House In Seneca street and there nn "ex cellent dinner was partaken of." Dr. Powell wns s landlord of tho house at that tlmo and the papers recorded as something worthy of speclnl mention thnt there wero no liquors on tho table. But the good lesson this statement was Intended to convoy loses Us moral In tho very next lino of tho narra tive: "After tho cloth was removed wine "ryes served with the toasts, which were drank with tho utmost regularity." It is hardly necessary to draw on tho Imagination to nny extent to plcturo tho final state of many In that noble company of 100 who drank the wlno "with the utmost regularity." But that was before tho days of temperance soci eties and adulterated liquors. The marshal of tho day was Colonel, nfterwnrd General, Sylvester Mathews, a veteran of tho war of J812 a hero of tho Battle of Chippewa. Apart from .these proceedings was discourse by Rev. Mr. Euton of tho Presbyterian church on civil and religious liberty. Tho festivities closed ac cording to time honored custom with a ball In the evening. No mention Is made of any fireworks. Tho celebrations of several succeeding years seem to hnvo been much like this one, according to tho Journal's flies. In 1840, however pre sumably because of tho Mexican war tho celebra tion wbb regarded by tho Journal as noteworthy. Tho Sixty-fifth regiment roado Its first appear anco on this occasion. At 8 o'clock In tho morning a detachment marched to tho Fillmore Houso and fired some small arms In honor of the vlco presi dent. Tho lino of march Included Revolutionary soldiers. Think how old they must hnvo been sixty-eight years after tho surrender of Yorktown nnd Boventy-two years after the hattlo of Lexing ton I There were also soldiers of tho War of 1812 In the line, officers nnd soldiers of tho army and of tho Mexican war. Tho Friendly Sons of St. Pat rick, tho Sons of Erin and tho German Young Men's association a sure sign that tho city was beginning to take on cosmopolitan form wero In tho line of march. Tho exercises were held nt Johnson's park, tho orator of tho day bolng H. K. Smith. Vlco president Flllmoro attended the ex ercises and was lustily cheered. Tho Sons of Tcmpcranco hnd charge of the celebration In 1850, which was held "at tho grovo near tho workhouse." John B. Gough, tho leading "temporanco" speaker of tho day, waa orator. With tho breaking out of tho Civil war Buffalo, broke loose on Its celebration of 1801. The parada FALL COSTS FIFTEEN DOLLARS was the "most Inspiring In the history of the city" and occupied C8 minutes In passing. Even more pretentious was Uie celebration following the sur render of General Lee. After 1805 Buffalo's cele bration of tho Fourth of July wns rather humdrum nnd marked by no special features Just as In most other American cities. By 1010 the "powder disease" hud come to Its climax nnd those bent on reforming the observ ance of the dny called It the "national nuisance." Moreover, the nation was alive ro the tremendous loss of life. Tables prepared by the Journal of the American Medical Association, showed thnt the number of tho killed and Injured In the celebra tion of 1009 wns n,307 ; for the seven years pre ceding 1010 the total was 511,00.1. Perhaps the first notable "sufe and sane" cele bration wns thnt in Springfield, Mass., In 1000. However, In 1010 most of the large cities of the country presented nn entirely now kind of celeb ra tion, tho bnsls being the parade and pageant. Fire crackers wero taboo; -tho dlsplnys of fireworks wero municipal (affairs. - "I must confess that I nlwnys like to brag on tho Fourth of July," wrote Chauncey M. Depow, a good many years ago. "It Is the greatest day In the American cnlendar. Nay, more, It gives perfume to the whole nlr that encircles this globe. Every man, woman, or child who breathes It, no matter where ho or she Is, feels tho better for It. There Is not a liberal sentiment where civilization Is known that Is dot quickened oi tho Fourth of July. It reaches the hut of the peasant, and It enters Into tho tent of the conscript. The ono says: 'There Is for me and for my children some thing better thnn this hut.' The other says: Why should I light to uphold thrones nnd cut tho throat of my brother to mnlntaln caste and privilege?' Tho Fourth of July lifts tho thought, the aspirations, the prayers of tho people of all countries to higher planes of living, thinking nnd dying. Why It Is a university, a college, a high school, a common school. It Is a liberal educa tion in patriotism and manhood." That's tho way a good mnny good Americans feel nbout tho Fourth of July even to this dny, even If there ore those who hold thnt noise Is vul gar and "brag Is our national vice." Some of us have an Idea way down deep that tho American who will not brag on the Fourth of July. Is hardly worthy of his birthright. Still, It Is a self-evident fact that tho old Fourth of July ts gone, never to come back. Of course wo must keep the day and celebrate It. It Is too Important a day to be slighted. It must be cele brated right. But let nobody make the ifllstnko of trying to refine nil the fight out of It. Our ancestors handed down to us freedom nnd tho love of freedom and nnd that still more precious thing the readiness to fight for freedom. And that's got to stick out ' of any proper observance of tho Fourth of July In the United States of America, Man Grabs Girl's Dress to Avert Tumble Even the Judge Blushes. I New York.
