INDEPENDENCE DAY
Theodore Koosevelt
Assistant Secretary Of The Navy
The Fourth of July is our great nat
ional Celebration. Around it center
the body of traditional ideals for which
our country stands. Traditions are
splendid things for countries or for in
dividuals only if they are translated into
living aspirations.
We have all seen men or women
who spend their entire time boasting
of their ancestors. This amounts to
nothing and those who do it are en
tirely uselesss.
In the same way the country which
Iooks back on its traditions and does
not attempt to turn them into action
for the present or for the future is dy- I
ing of dry rot.
When we Celebrate cur national
holiday, we should try to make it
stand out to ourselves and our child
ren in vivid terms of the present day.
We should try to make it more con - i
Crete. We should try to translate our
high thought into high action. The
obligation laid upon us by our forebears
when they promulgated the Declara-!
tion of Independence is not merely to !
praise and revere them for so doing
but really to see that their doctrines of i
democracy, justice and equal oppor-!
tunity are contiuued, that the great
work which they set under way is car
ried to a successful conclusion.
Nine tin hs cf R ghtec utness is good
acts, not good thoughts.
NATIVES IN DISTRESS
The Natives of Tatiilek are

spring, owing to little work last

women have reached Valdez dur
ing the past few days ih a fam
ished condition. One native
stated he had lost his child by
poor food served this winter
and says that there are many ,
children who are feeling the
pangs of hunger at the present
time.
'The citizens of Valdez have
sent milk and ether food stuffs;
tor temporary relief, but it is
time the government stepped in
to me aid of tile Alaskanative, if
tie is to tie saved from oblitera
te .. Work is very scarce and
game too far bacK in the hills
to get easily. --Valdez Miner.
