Mount Vernon, Va„ July 4.—ln his
Independence day address, which the
world will recognize ns an answer to
Von Kuehlmann's recent speech In the
relchstag, President Wilson declared
that the Father of His Country and
his associates spoke and acted,
not for a class, but for a people
and that It has been left for us to see
to It that it shall be understood that
they spoke and acted, not for a single
people only, bat for all mankind and
were planning that men of every class
should be free, and America a place to
which men oat of Brery nation might
resort who wished to share with them
the rights and privileges of free men.
Referring to the present world strug
gle, the president said that the peoples
of the world find themselves con
fronted by a selfish group of nations
who speak no common purpose but
only selfish ambitions of their own and
by which none can profit but them
selves and whose people are fuel In
their hands.
Text of Add re**.
The text of the president's speech
follows:
"Gentlemen of the Diplomatic Corps
and My Fellow Citizens: I am happy
to draw apart with you to this quiet
place of old counsel In order to speak
a little of the meaning of .this day of
our nation’s Independence. The place
seems very atlll and remote. It Is as
serene and untouched by the hurry of
the world as It was In those great days
long ago when General Washington
was here and held leisurely conference
with the men who were to be associ
ated with him In the creation of agna
tion. From the gentle slopes they
looked out upon the world and saw It
whole, saw It with the light of the fu
ture upon It, saw It with modern eyes
that turned away from a past which
men of liberated spirits could no longer
endure, It Is for that reason that we
cannot feel, even here, In the Immedi
ate presence of this sacred tomb, that
this la a place of death. It was a
place of achievement. A great promise
that was meant for all mankind was
here given plan and reality. The as
sociations by which we are here sur
rounded are the Inspiring associations
of that noble death which is only n
glorious consummation. From this
green hillside we also ought to be able
td see with comprehending eyes the
world that Ues about us and should
conceive anew the purposes that must
set men free.
Planned Universal Freedom.
“It Is significant—significant of their
own character and purpose and of the
Influences they were setting afoot—
that Washington and his associates,
like the barons at Runnymede, spoke
and acted, not for a class, but for a
people. It has been left for us to see
to It that It shall be understood that
they spoke and acted, not for a single
people only, but for all mankind. They
were thinking, not of themselves and
of the material Interests which cen
tered In the little groups of landhold
ers and merchants and men of affairs
with whom they were accustomed to
act, In Virginia and the colonies to the
north and Bouth of her, but of a people
which wished to be done with classes
and special Interests and the author
ity of men whom they had not them
selves chosen to rule over them. They
entertained no private purpose, de
sired no peculiar privilege.
"They were consciously planning
that men of every class should be free
and America a place to which men out
of every nation might resort who
wished to share with them the rights
and privileges of free men. And we
take our cue from them—do we not?
W* Intend what they Intended. We
her* In America believe our participa
tion In thla present war to be only the
fruitage of what they planted. Our
case differs from theirs only In this,
that It Is our Inestimable privilege to
concert with men out of every nation
what shall make not only the liberties
of America secure but the liberties of
every other people as well. We are
happy In the thought that we are per
mitted to do what they would have
done had they been In our place.
There must now be settled once for all
what was settled for America In the
great age upon whose Inspiration we

place on the map of France. One of
the moat touching of the many trlb
utaa of fraternity and good will to the
. Halted Staten on thla anniversary of
our Independence day will bo the
changing oj the name of the Bola do
draw today. This Is surely a fltttag
place fiom which calmly to look out
upon our task, that we may fortify onr
spirits for Its accomplishment. And
this is the appropriate place from
which to avow, alike to the friends
who look on and to the frleuds with
whom we have the hupplness to be as
sociated In action, the faith and pur
pose with which we act.
Hun Rulers Fear Own People.
“This, then. Is our conception of the
great struggle In which we are en
gaged. The plot Is written plain upon
every scene and every act of the su
preme tragedy. On the one hand stand
the peoples of the world—not only the
peoples actually engaged, but many
others also who suffer under mastery
but cannot act; peoples of many races
and In every part of the world—the
people of stricken Russia still, among
the rest, though they nre for the mo
ment unorganized and helpless. Op
posed to them, masters of many arm
ies, stand un isolated, friendless group
of governments who speak no common
purpose but only selfish ambitions of
their own by which none can profit
but themselves, and whose peoples
are fuel In their hunds; governments
which fear their people and yet ure
for the time their sovereign lords, mak
ing every choice for them and dispos
ing of their lives and fortunes as they
will, as well as of the lives and for
tunes of every people who fall under
their power governments clothed
with the strange trappings and the
primitive authority of an age that is
altogether ullen and hostile to our
own. The past and the present are In
deadly grapple and the peoples of tho
world are being done to death between
them.
Settlement Must Be Final.
“There can be but one issue. The
settlement must be final. There can
be no compromise. No hulfwuy de
cision would be tolerable. No half
way decision Is conceivable. These
are the ends for which the associated
peoples of the world are fighting and
which must be conceded them before
there can be peace: 1. The destruction
of every arbitrary power anywhere
that can separately, secretly and of Its
single choice disturb the peace of the
world; or, if It cannot be presently de
stroyed, at the least Its reduction to
virtual Impotence.
“2. The settlement of every question,
whether of territory, of sovereignty, of
economic arrangement, or of political
relationship, upon the basis of the free
acceptance of that settlement by the
people Immediately concerned, and not
upon the basis of the material Interest
or advantage of any other nation or
people which may desire a different
settlement for the snke of Its own ex
terior Influence or mastery.
“3. The consent of all nations to be
governed In. their conduct towards
each other by the same principles of
honor and of respect for the common
law of civilized society that govern
the individual citizens of all modern
states in their relations with one an
other; to the end that all promises and
covenants may be sacredly observed, no
private plots or conspiracies hutched,
no selfish Injuries wrought with Impun
ity, and a mutual trust established
upon the hundsome foundation of a
mutual respect for right.
“4. The establishment of an organi
zation of peace which shall make It
certain that the combined power of
free nations will check every Invasion
of right and serve to make peace and
justice the more secure by affording a
definite tribunal of opinion to which
all must submit and by which every
international readjustment that cannot
be amicably agreed upon by the peo
ples directly concerned shall be sanc
tioned.
U. 8. Can Never Be Crushed.
"These great objects can be put Into
a single sentence. Wlmt we seek la
the reign of law, based upon the con
sent of the governed and sustained by
the organized opinion of mankind.
“These great ends cannot be
achieved by debating and seeking to
reconcile and accommodate what
statesmen may wish, with their proj
ects for balances of power and of na
tional opportunity. They can be
reached only by the determination of
what the thinking people of the world
desire with their longing hope for
justice and for social freedom and op
portunity.
“I can fancy that the air of this
place carries the accents of such prin
ciples with a prouder kindness. Here
where started forces which the great
untlon against which, they were pri
marily directed at first regarded ns a
revolt against Its authority but which
has long since seen to have been a
step in the liberation of its own peo
ple as well ah of the people of the
United States —and I stand here now
to Speak, speak proudly and with con
fident hope—of the spread of this re
volt, this liberation to the great state
of the world Itself. The blinded rul
ers of Prussia have aroused forces they
knew little of —forces which, once
aroused, can never be crushed to earth
again—for they have at their heart an
Inspiration and a purpose which are
deathless and of the very stuff of tri
umph.”

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected
An examining physician for one of the
Erominent life insurance companies, in an
itarview of the subject, made the &»-
toniahing statement that one reason why
•o many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble ia so com
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from report" from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is
•oon realised. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad
vise our readers who feel in need of such a
remedy to give it a trial. It ia on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test thla
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer A Co.. Binghamton, N. Y., for a
