THE FOURTH OF JULY
(By George W. Betlmne)
Maine, from lier farthest border, gives the
. first exulting shout,
And from New Hampshire’s granite
heights the echoing peal rings out;
The mountain farms of staunch Vermont
prolong the thundering call,
And Massachusetts answers “Bunker
Hill”—a watchword for us all.
.•'•T
Rhode Island shakes her sea wet locks,
acclaiming with the free,
And staid Connecticut breaks forth in '
, joyous harmony;
The giant joy of proud New York, loud
as an earthquake’s roar,
Is heard from Hudson’s crowded banks
to Erie’s crowded shore.
Still on the booming volley rolls, o’er
plains and flowery glades,
To where the Mississippi’s flood the
turbid gulf invades;
There, borne from many a mighty stream
upon her mightier tide,
Come down the swelling, long huzzas
come from all that valley wide.
And wood crowned Allegheny’s call from
all her summits high,
Reverberates among the rocks that pierce
the sunset sky,
While on the shores' and through tho
swales, round the vast inland seas,
The stars and stripes midst freemen’s
songs are flashing to the breeze.
The woodsman from the mother takes his
boy upon his knee
And tells him how their fathers fought
and bled for liberty.
The lonely hunter sits him down the forest
spring beside
To think upon his country’s worth and
feel his country’s pride.
While many a foreign accent which our
God can understand
V Ts blessing Him for home and bread in this
free, fertile land.
Yes; when upon the eastern coast we sink
to happy rest
The day of independence rolls still onward
to the west
Till dies on the Pacific shore the shout of
jubilee
That woke the morning with its voice
along the Atlantic sea.
O God, look down upon the land which
thou hast loved so well
And grant that in unbroken truth her
children still may dwell.
Nor while the grass grows on the hill and
streams flow through the vale
May they forget their fathers’ faith or in
their covenant fail;
Keep, God, the fairest, noblest land that
lies beneath the sun—
“Our country, our whole country, and our
country ever one.
._— :o:
One of the war chroniclers writes it down that 3f> tons of
1 was thrown into Dunkirk recently by German guns 20
■s ;iway, and the guess is that he weighed neither the shells
his words. _ - -
The French soldiers are going to wear steel helmets,
discarding their archaic headgear. They also are taking off
their red pants. The Germans began the war with metal hel
mets, but are said to be getting rid of them. The allies boast
that they are helping in this process of alleviation. German
helmets are held in high esteem as souvenirs in England, and
good prices are paid for them. In many eases women have
paid jis much for kaiser helmets ns they pay for a spring hat.
Probably French helmets will be in demand in Gennany. A
dead man’s hat hanging on the parlor wall is a gunge by which
we partly may measure the hatreds which war engenders.
-:o:-—-—
This government seems to be in doubt whether it can
amend the English custom of opening and distorting American
mail en route to and from neutral countries. The complaint is
lodged by Sweden. The mail is tampered with, not on the high
seas, but on English soil, by English censors. Even our official,
consular mail, has been subjected to censorship. It seems that
while England professes to love us she won’t play “postoffice”
with us. “I ostoffice,’ you old timers will remember, was a
kissing game in great vogue before tango and other modern
and genteel forms of community hugging were discovered.
•—-:o:
The campaign being made this year to impress the people
that the Fourth of July is Americanization Day is a good one.
We are all Americans, and no other nationality should claim
any more than our good wishes. All our love of country' aTid
patriotism should be bestowed on this land, whether it is the
home of our birth or the land of our adoption. There cnn be no
such thing as a dual nationality. As Kaiser William once said,
“there can be no such thing as a good Gorman-American. You
may be a good German or a good American, but you can’t bo
both.”
-:o:
Tomorrow is a big day for the children, the same as every
holiday should be, and let all us grown-ups do what we can to
make them have the time of their lives. Let us remember what
the Fourth of July meant to us when we were younger, and
let us try to revive some of the healthy patriotism of our
younger days, and enter into the spirit of Cordova’s celebration
along with our children.
One of the doctors speaking at a convention in San Fran
cisco said he had invented a machine for weighing the head,
without detaching it. That is an agreeable device and meets
a long-felt wrant, as for several years there has been a wilful
and inexcusable antipathy against having our heads removed
merely for the purpose of weighing them.
-:o:
Tomorrow is the Fourth of July, and we should all be
happy that the Eagle is not uttering a scream of defiance and
.jumping into the fray in Europe. His scream of .joy because
our forefathers had the wisdom to warn us against entangling
alliances, sounds better to an average American ear, than a
scream of defiance.
-:o:
One of the presidents, near-presidents, pretenders and
pseudos of Mexica, Francisco Lagos Chasaro, serves warning on
President Wilson that he musn’t fiddle with Mexican affairs.
But how long does Chsaaro expect Mexico’s “next friend” to
be satisfied with the present form of serenade?
-*-:o:
Beware of “red eye.” A man who had been too often to
the fountain decided that lie had to have 18 pairs of spectacles.
-:o:
The national game on the national day will be the rule for
Cordova’s celebration of the Fourth.
-:o?
Anchorage will celebrate the first holiday of her existence
tomorrow, and here’s wishing her many of them.
—,-:o:
The dog tax is due, and if you value your malamute you
had better come through with two dollars.
