On this day the mind of the patriot
will be directed to those truths
and facts which our own nations’
tradition has revealed to the
civilized nations of the globe.
We assemble together as oue
people enjoying the same fredom,
the same independence and the
same inalienable rights to-wit: life
liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness, which our forefathers,
who lived in that age and in
whose hands the destiny of this
nation of ours rested, on that
memorial day when our independ
ence was declared, gained for thir
posterity and to the glory and
honor of all men and all nations.
On this glorious day how can the
intelligent mind be distracted
from that memorable event? How
can that mind wander during
this day without even a thought
of such men as the eloquent,
glorious and audacious Patrick
Henry, who gave the first re-
monstance against British tyran
ny, as he sat in the Virginia
house of Burgesses, long before
our Independence. Can the name
of John Hancock be forgotten
and will the name of George
Washington, once.be_^ejpeatd on
this day?
July fourth, seventeen seventy
six, the declairation of the Inde-
pendance of our country was
adopted, and by that masterful
document we declared, ‘‘when in
the course of human events it be-1
comes necessary for one people
to dissolve the political bands
which have connected them
with another and to assume
among the powers of earth sepa-
ate and equal stations to which
the laws of nature and nature’s
God entitle them. We hold these
truths to be self evident that all
men are created equal and en-
dowed by their Creator with cer-
tain inalienable rights, that these
are, life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness: that to secure these
rights, governments areinstitut-!
ed among men, deriving their’
just powers from the consent of!
the governed, and whenever any
form of government becomes de- j
struct! ve to these ends, it is the
right and duty of the people to1
alter or abolish it. This much
of that declaration declares the
American sentiment, as it was
then and as it is to day. Upon
the principle that all men are
equal and have rights which are
God-given and which rights must
j bo protected, ve have instituted
'this grand political society of
ours and have established our
dual governments to perform
I their functions in holding that
i society to-gether, which has
j f°r its object the most philan
j tropic purpose which human
kind can perform. God has
blessed us. As we assemble to
day, in comm oration of. that
grand and glorious event, let us
celebrate with that patriotic
spirit and feeling which true
American citizenship demands.
Let us be sane and considerate.
Let the men who are the qualiti
ed electors at this time take
advantage of this day, as a day
of recreation and give the urchin
a hart to hart talk, so lead and
instruct him as to make a true
man, a good law abiding citizen
and a self relient elector that.
when he goes to the polls he may
be able to cope with the great
problems of that day and intelli-
gently cast his ballot. So in-
struct him that he may fully un-
derstand and appreciate what
the event of seventeen seventy
six, really means. Do not de-
prive yourself of enjoyments in
your attempt to celebrate in the
same manner.
As we gaze upon those bright
stars and strips of that star
spangled banner, we rerlize here
in Oklahoma that it means all or
more for us than for any other,
for we are the first of all the
states of the American union to
be admitted into, and become
one inseparable part thereof,
without having driven the origin-
al owners of the American soil
from our borders or buried them
beneath the sod.
