Yetta Kvitnitsky came to die in peace. She is not more than 05, but tragedy has ngpd her she is very old. "I am from Rusxic," shes aid. "I , had a family there once, but they have been scattered for25 year. One by ' one,, they had to flee. My youngest son went last six years ago. "He left his wife and children with me, hoping to send for ihem when he ' had made a home in America But con ditions grew worse. We couldn't wait. We risked our lives stealing across the frontier. Finally we Mere out of so viet Russia. "My son was trying hard. At last lie got a newspaper ronte in Chicago. Then he sent for us. " The wrinkled old woman glanced about her, "It's no quiet here," she said, "so calm. "It's hard on a woman As old as I to lenve home, but I '111 glad to be in Amer ica in this beautiful land. "Now I can die in pence.'' "Pooh!" said her grandson, aged 9, coming up. "Die! Nothing doinjt We're here to live. That's what Amer ica's for. " Mrs. Kvitnitsky has gone now, with her daughter in-law and grand-children, to join, he rson in the west for their first American Fourth of July, The United States of America has been an independent nation for so long that itis difficult to think of ourselves as ones a part, and a loyal part, of the British empire. ' It -was one ' hundred and forty-six years aero that-the British colonies 4n America decided that the only, thing they eonld do to, protect themselves against unfair, government was to se cede. ,'' Ami so the Declaration of Indepen dence -was solemnly signet). This action was not taken because the EngliHhmen in America hated the Eng lishman in Great Britain. Many of them -had friends and relatives in the mother country, and they had grown up to owu allegiance to a king.. Nor was it, at trst, because of any overwhelm ing desire to set up a separate rule on this continent. Against the Whigs The revolt was. In fact, not so much against England as against .a political party in England, the Old Whigs, who, under the leadership of Lord North and others, largely controlled the actions of George III, and sought to establish a corrupt - government for their own profit. There were men in England, liko William Pitt, who also fought against this tyranny, but. they were kept down by military and political . power and by the prestige of royalty. The Englishmen over here had a bet ter chance to rebel because they were far away and so were more difficult to control. Little by little the American colonists mado their protests felt, and the Ill-advised king and the party in power un dertook to silence these protests by acts of punishment. They deprived Ameri can Englishmen of ancient rights, and the colonists replied with more vigorous protests and with evasions of unjust laws, .! Parting of the Waya And io, gradually, they eame to the parting of the ways. i It most he remembered, also, that peo ple in those days, all over the world, took a leas liberal view of the position ond rights of dependencies than they do- today. Colonies were very generally consider ed as commercial enterprises, - and the officers of the cetnral organisation felt that, since they had invested their money In the venture; they had a per fect right to dictate how the branch offices should be run. There was, indeed, right and wrong on both sides, but underlying it all was a great error on' the part of the British statesmen of that day. They thought that tliey coiuil enforce reatrictiY and unreasonable laws upon Englishmen as ' , V . I - x - J i f K ' , ' . ?s I I w-y WALTER A. DYER free-born as themselves. They thought that the cure for rebellion was more re pression. They forgot " that the tighter you clamp a lid on a boiling kettle the more likely it is to explode. Stood for Justice Our American forefathers, in finally asserting their independence, proved to nil the world that civilization had out grown, despotism. Men of courage and vision, they stood out for justice against entrenched priv ilege, ond they won. They, taught England herself a lesson that helped the friends of freedom in the mother country at length to win their fight. That is what we celebrate on the Fourth of July not a victory of arms over brave brothers, not the winning of a war against England, but a'trlumph of the cause of justice and square deal ing . which is the rightful heritage of all people of English blood the world over.
