ON JULY FOURTH
MODERN CONCEIT
OF PATRIOTISM
Speaker Declared it Was Wrong

Only Onlookers

(By Associated Pres?)
Philadelphia. July 4.?Advocating
and modernizing of the Declaration 01
Independence by applying its princi
ples to the business, the politics and
the foreign policies* of America,
President Wilsum today thrilled a
huge crowd assembled in Independ
ence Square within a few feet of
where the origiual declaration was
signed.
The President touched on Mexico,
the Panama tolls repeal controversy,
his antl-truut program, bUBtpiess con
ditions und hin ideas of modern pa
triotism. Pounding his fi-t on the
table on which the declaration of in
dependence was signed, ho declared
Americans today must manage their
afiairn In a way to do honor to the
founders of the nation. . There are
men in Washington today, he de
clared, whose, patriotism Is not
shown but who accomplish great pa
triotic things. They are staying in
Washington, doing their duty, keeping
a quorum in each house to do business.
^And I am mlg^n^ gb|d to stay there
.Touching on btfeluesa conditions
'or the county, President Wilson said a
great many allegations of facts wore
being made, but that a great many ,
theue facts do not tally with eacv. oth
er.
"Are these men trying to aerve their
country or something Braaller than
their country?" ttie president asked.
"It they love -America and there is
anything It Is their business to put
. their hands tb the task and set it
right."
Eighty five per cent, of the Mexican
people, the pr?sident said In touch
ing on Mexico, never have bad >
right to have a "look In" on their gov.
ernment while the other 1R per, cent,
were running It.
"Now tho American people have a
heart that beats for them just an it
beats for other millions," Mr. W?Bon
continued. "I hear a great deal about
the property lost In Mexico and I re
gret that with all my heart, but back
of it all Is a struggling neoplo: Let'
us not forget that struggle In watch
ing what Is going on in front."
- "P would be ashamed- or the flag
If we did anything outside this coun
try wtUfh we would not do in it?" the
president declared.
Keep Obligations.
Speaking on Panama tolls, tho
President Tsald the treaty with Eng
land might be a mistake, but ita mean,
log eannqt be mistaken, and be oe
lleved In keeping the nation's obliga
tions. Hp believed in keoping the
nitti.O of tho United States unquestion
ed and unsullied.
Before the President got his speech
' well under Way the crowd surged, for
ward In SUc'n confusion that a panic
was threatened. Two companies of
marl ne a and sal?ors stood before the
speaker's stand and the president was
forced to stop several times but fi
nally got the crowd under control.
"The declaration of. independence,"
said the president in the course of his
address, "dooB not mean anything to
uh merely in its general statements
unless we can apepml to it a similar
ly speclflo body of particularisas tp
v bur we consider our liberty.to "con
sit Of." .. V .
Patriotism, he-said, consists of some
>ery practical ? things, among which
tie president enumerated the stay of
nu mbers of the House and Senate, "In
hoi Washington maintain a quorum
of the houses, and tranact public bus
iness.
"I honor them for it," ho said, "and
I am mlghtiy glad to stay there and
stick by them until U Ib over.

"It ia patrbtic klao to know what
the facto are ahd to face them wl*
candor," the i*rekid>nt continued. "I
have heard a great many facti stated
abbot th? present business conditions
in this country, for example?a great
many ..allaitions of facta, at any rats
? Pd ii ia strange that theue facta as

work and toil every day, or rather are
putting discouragement and. despair
into these hearts? It they love Amer

duty to put their hands to the tusk]
of setting it right.
"I have had some, experiences in the
last fourteen rnontliB which have not
been entirely refreshing. It was un

system of this country needed reor

I London, July 4.?A flat denial that
Great Britain had brought pressure
! on the United States in connection
with the Panama tolls was made to
night at tue banquet of the American
I rociety by Lord Bryce, formerly Brit
ish ambassador at Washington. Lord
Bryce said he simply had advised hla

thinks it right to repeal or to go to
arbitration he will do it."
I Lord Bryce added: "No country

than the United Stutcs to do what is

First Progressive.
Characterizing Thomas Jefferson as
the 'original progressiv*," 8?cretary
DnnSels said President Wilson, vlth
the exception "of Madison and Monroe,
was more like Jefferson than any
other man who bod occupied the
White House.
Jefferson, the secretary said, was
well known a? the father of the Un
iversity of Vlrglna, "and if he had no
other title to fame, his conception of
what a State university should be, and
hiB carrying it out in the university '
he founded, would.give him a title that
could not be invalidated."
; Virginia delayed long in establish
ing a ay Ht em of education upon Jef
ferson's ideals, said the secretary, and
he deemed that due quite as much to
the fact that population Id Virginia
was widely scattered as to the fact
that large numbers of influential lead
ers did not have the vision to see that
th A nrnanftfUv of Hto whO?S n0On!fi
was dependent upon the education of
the whole people. .
"The aristocratic element In Vir
ginia militated against Jefferson's
Idea and the industrial conditions of
an agricultural state also militated
against it," said Dr. Daniels: "If Vir
ginia had had the wisdom, in spite of
its spare settlements, to have adopted
Jefferson's system in the full when
be promulgated it. I believe the Old
Dominion -would have been 100 fold
richer In wealth and would have ad
ded to the primacy she enjoyed In the!
early days of the republic".

(Special to The Intelligencer)
Columbia, Puly 4.?The candidates
for state offices celebrated tho' glori
ous 4th, with their meeting here while
a crowd of possibly 1,200 apparently
intensely interested voterB continual
ly "heckled" the speakers.
When Jno. G. Rlchurds candidate
for governor, began his usual denun
ciation of the recent revision of the
primary rules, declaring 2,000 voters
had been "disfranchised" the crowd
by their yells of derhdon and rapid
fire questions gave the meeting a mar.
ked resemblenec to former days.
Long continued cheers and cat calls
made it unusually difficult for him
to continue his address and probably
little of- what he said was heard.
Seemingly, the tenslsy which has
been gradually increasing as the cam
paign progressed reached the break
ing point when Richards got into bis
speech.
After Chairman P. Beverly Sloan
had finally partially quieted ; the
crowd's first outburst, Richards began
expressing his opnoBition to compul
sory education and one of its advc
es In the race for governor, John G.
Cllnkscales of -Spartanburg, only to
bave the crowd begin another outburst
which closely approached bohterous
ness.
Interest in the. meeting became
tense when Sheriff 'McCain was called
by the chairmen to the side of one
of' the capdldatea.
After Richards bad denounced the
recent democratic state convention,
William C. Irby, of Laurens also In
the race for governor, pertinently
queried why did Richards decline an
opportunity to attend this convention
as a delegate "when ho knew ' the
change was Impending."
Charles Csrroll Sims told the ex
cited crowd the need of eliminating
factionalism and unflcation of the
people.' "Let the p rpie understand
that there Is personal liberty on both
sides, and that- will eliminate fac
tionalism" he asserted. He declared
when questioned, thst he did not op
pose.social clubB for the poor man,
stating that the rich men have them
to "frame up against the poor man and
the poor-should be. given opportunity
to frame up agw??vt the rich" quoting

Wn'rnlng of the approach of the boll

of Laurens, candidate for governor
who urged defensive steps. "Law en
