TTOW long will the Republic endure? So 

 long as the ideas of its founders remain 

 dominant. How long will these ideas remain 

 dominant ? Just so long as the blood of its foun- 

 ders remains dominant in the blood of its people. 

 Not the blood of Puritans and Virginians alone ^ 

 the original creators of free states, but the blood 

 of free-born men^be they Greek, Roman, Frank, 

 Saxon, Norman, Dane, Celt, Scot, Goth or Sa- 

 murai, It is a free stock that creates a free na- 

 tion. Our Republic shall endure so long as the 

 human harvest is good, so long as the movement 

 of history, the progress of science and industry, 

 leaves for the future the best and not the worst 

 of each generation.
