Dedication
The old Fourth la gone like the dodo
—the Fourth of tuil-twistlng and engle-
screaming and crash-banging and
dynamite and lockjaw It had Its
uses A nation has a long youth and
our old boastfulness and self-esteem
and excitability and recklessness be-
fitted ns well enough On the old
Fourth we let our crudity and our
arrogance and our raw love of noise
rise to the surface and skimmed It ofT
all at once ond were the better for
the process costly though It was But
time has quieted our adolescence into
something nearer maturity and the old
sound and fury can never return
Doubtless to some to whom old as-
sociations are dear the change has
sometimes seemed almost pninful He
was happy that boy who slipped from
his led with the first streaks of dawn
who by noon had used up his avail-
able supply of firecrackers and fingers
who spent the afternoon on the edge
of the crowd In the grove vaguely
aware of gesticulations from the
wooden platform in the center and
about equally conscious of his own
dirty bandages and the ability of his
country to lick creation and who
longed for darkness as earlier he had
longed for day and split the welkin
with his exultant yell when the first
rocket whizzed from Its narrow trough
and hurst Into pale stars Ills sons
on tills great day are hungry at break-
fast tiine-ond play tennis In the parks
and he has watched them knowing It
was well hut It surprised him a little
CREED FOR

freedom equality jastico and hn-
snanity for which American patriots
sacrificed thoir Bros and fortune
I therefore believe it is my doty
my coaatry to love it to snpport

Taka down that flag or taka my

It Is the flag of all the people It
Is the emblem of our unity safety and
faith Into whatever parties we may
he divided by varying political convic-
tions as a single person we take our
stand under the one flag It la not
the badge of a particular policy but
of a complex agreement of privileges
and checks

about which to twine our national
sentiment We have no royal family
we have no hereditary aristocracy
we are pledged to no political party

As the grave of the martyred Kosci-
uscko Is made of a handful of earth
from every battlefield of long-suffering
Toland so our flog Is woven of
every thread of our national strug-
gles Because It alone represents all
the principles which our forefathers
upheld because it is a constant re-
minder of duties heroically performed
and of errors and defects retrieved
through suffering and sacrifice
Its white stands for purity Its red
for vulor Its blue for Justice To-
gether they form a trinity of social
virtues which It Is our Inherited priv-
ilege to honor and uphold and promul-
gate over the whole earth As a na
