The American have; not seemed to care a hang about their birthday. They have been busy celebrating something else somewhere else.

It was not exciting enough mere ly to talk about the nation's birthday." The president did it, the governor' of Pennsylvania did it, the governors of North Carolina and of South Carolina exchanged some sort of message on the subject; even Governor "Vic" Donahey fared forth from the Buckeye state and came her.e to. within 90 miles of Wiclced Gotham to discuss the beauty of' commemorating a span of a century and a half in the onward rush of the greatest nation on earth.
