There will be fun for one and all and if anyone retires at night with a grouch, it will be just too bad, that’s all. And so, to the meat of the subject. Independence never seemed to the Gateway to be worth arguing about. Independence proves itself by its results. They are all about us. The richest, most pow erful nation in the world, built up from nothing in 153 years, is today’s monument to independence. The world’s greatest spellbinder cannot gild that achievement. An no editor, writing columns of dreary words, can be half so eloquent as the facts of the triumph of freedom that confront you every mile you travel thru this pleasant land. DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are cheated equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalieable rights; that among these, are life>liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men; deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of govern ment becomes destructive of the$e ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government, layng its foundation on such princi ples, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happi ness.
