Influence Of

Other Changed For Better-
July 4th A Great Day
•
While we celebrate on th£ 4th
of each July the adoption of the
Declaration of Independence, we
perhaps do not reflect on the
stupendous influence of that
document on the world as a whole.
It is safe to say that no political
paper in al) history has had so
universal or radical an effect.
Not only did its promulgation
markihfe beginnilUL^JLtifLJilfi.
'republicanism, but the reaction^
&ry forces have been too strong
and have held her titt all of .her
colonies and most of her ancient
glory Wve been swept away.
Following the example of the
United States, all the Americans
threw off the foreign yoke and
became republics. Japan felt
the new impulse, which is now
also awakening China and India.
South Africa experienced it, as
she showed in her stubborn fight
for freedom. And Australia,
touched by it, has the most en-
lightened and progressive gov-
ernments in the world. Truly
the Declaration of Independence
has done its work, and the story
ig_-v?jQtly halO.oj.cL It will .not-be.

Oi|naha, Neb., July 4.—Rela -
tivejto the action of the Federal
Coutt in granting a temporray re-
straining order against the
operation of the bank guar-
anty law passed by the last Ne-
braska Legislature, Gov. Shal-
leqlberger, in a letter to the press
says:

Legislature expresses the will of
the people of Nebraska. The
Legislature was solidly for the
law, and that body is the only
voic^ the people have, and its
mandate should be supreme. If
a Federal Judge can set aside
the (expressed will of the people
of a sovereign state when legis-
lating upon a matter regulating
puriely state corporations, a sin-
gle i Judge has power more potent,
thapi the voices of a million and
a half of people expressed thru
its constitutional authority.
"This should make plain to the
people of our StateJh^ necessity-
of nonpartisan Judges on the
beach., . While the courts may
nulify the acts of the Legislature
and stay the arm of the Govern-
ment, there is one Constitutional
power that belongs to the Ex-
ecutive, and that is the authority
to call the Legislature in special
session tp correct any Constitu-
tional defect the court may point
out.

Man is a funny little cuss and
hasn't long to stay, he flies
around and makes a fuss, and
then hikes away. Some men

the same old fate and trots the

Cicero, and Alexander's gone

the mother of the emancipation
proclamation, but its advent dwell among men forever
started the wave of democracy
and liberty now seen in every
nation on the earth. Surely
Americans have a right to be
proud of a document that has
literally inaugurated a new era
of humanity.
Although it wculd hardly be
within the truth to say that the
Declaration of Independence had
wrought all the marvelous polit-
ical changes that have swept the
world since July 4, 1776, it would
be entirely within the'truth to
state that it has been the great-
est single infliifenCe and therefore
has the right to be considered
the symbol of all the forces that
have wrought these changes.
And what a transformation it
has been! Then liberty was no-
where. Now it is everywhere.
Then England had sunk to well
^nigh her lowest stage of despot-
ism, France was misgoverned
and hopeless, Germany was a
the Latin nations were in feurtal
bondage, Russia had scarcely
emerged from seinibarbarism,
all of Asia was as she had been
for thousands of years, Africa
and Australia were unknown,

America were covered with
fringes of colonies and vast sav-
age interiors:""" Today every land
beneath the sun has been touched
by the new life, the new aspira-
tion the new freedom.
France was the first to respond
to the call and with her own rev-
olution drove the Democratic
wedge fashioned in America far
