The year is accented with “patriotic days.” when the lasic prin- ciples of fhis republic are proclaimed anew and pledges are miven Lo sup- port them. Still a particular savor at- taches to the “Fourth of July” which is duplicated on no other occasion. Those who. 116 years ago. signed that immortal document at Philadel- phia in which the independence of the colonies from England was declared, became thereby rebels in the eves of the British law. They dencunced the acts of the king. absolved themselves from his allegiance and pledzed in support of their declaration of inde- pendence their “lives, fortunes and sacred honor.” This was. indeed, a hazardous undertaking. The thirteen colonies were united only by a sense of grievance. They had no army. no resources. no organization. They were separated by hundreds of miles, with wide differences between them in point of character, ovigin and custom There was little assurance that. if once they gained their independence from England. they could successfull torm a government and hold it to + gether. The greater part of the declaration consists of a recital of grievanc: against the king. constitute a record of colonial suffer. ings that betrays an amazing lack of sense on the part of the monarch. George has been called “wrong-head- ed,” and by some has been rated as unbalanced. Indeed it would seem that none but one so obsessed would have pursued a policy so surely cal- culated to drive the colonies to revolt. To read this recital now is to justify the daring venture of the “signers’ and the inhabitants of the thirteen inchoate states for whom they spoke. But it must be remembered that not all of the colonists were of the same mind. Those who signed and those who cheered when the news was pro- Briefly stated. they clifmed were opposed by many in each | colony, stout partisans of the king, upholders of all his acts—believers. in- deed, in the doctrine that the king could dp no wreong. They were sin- cere, though mistaken. Their loyalty to the crown was as honest as was that of the ‘‘signers” to the newly stated principles of independence. They were to constitute an element of greatest difficulty for the colonists in the course of the long-continued strug- gle to maintain the independencé that was declared at Philadelphia. ‘The document, the signing of which is today celebrated, did not bear the title by which it has since been known. It was not called a “declara- tion of independence.” though it was obviously of that nature and did in terms declare the united colonies to be “free and independent states.” was merely headed “The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America.” By a natural process it became known at once by the title which it has borne for nearly a century and a half and which it will bear to the end of time. Fatal Blundering. While there is still some confusion regarding what happened at Winslow Junction. N. J.. when a Reading “fiyer” was derailed and seven peo- ple were killed, it appears that the ’towerman made a mistake as to the {identity of an approaching train and ‘wrongly opened the switch leading to a siding. The fiyer, running at seven- ty-two miles an hour, was unable to hold to the rails at the turn and was ditched. The speed was a safe one, it is contended, on a straight track, though an unsafe one at a curve.. The engineer, who was killed. was not ex- pecting to hit a curve. Just how the towerman became confused is yet to be explained. The night was rainy. He.| seems to have mistaken a train of “empyies” for the flyer and to have opened the switch after it had passed. This suggests faulty information for which the towerman may not have ‘been entirely blameworthy. The fact is that long chances are taken with human safety in the running of heavy trains at high speed without the surest precautions against mistake. towerman in this case could hardly be blamed for such a congestion of the line that it was possible to put a ‘wrong number on a passing train or for the excessive speed of the fiyer at ‘which it was unable to take a switch. ——— Railway strikes are psually timed fn & manner to worry the summer ex- eursionist more than anybody else. —————————— .

As The Star suggested the other day, the democrats need not indulge longer in their play for delay. Why not allow the final vote soon? They have made a falrly full record as critics of the bill in hand. and have no bill of their own to offer in its place. Why not then go to the coun- try on what has been said for and against? | The fact of the matter is that neither its friends nor its enemies can {be sure of the bill in action. Condi- tions everywhere, at home and abroad. are such that the ordinary bases of Irevision now and the tariff revision that took place in 1913—with fthe world war coming between the two dates—are horses of a different color. The Anti-Lynching Bill. The Senate judiciary committee has, after months of delay. finally reported out the Dyer antilynching bill. Born [under stormy, auspices in house, the bill, since its progress to the north wing of the Capitol, has heen treated with scant consideration. There are these who claim that the tardy recognition now accorded it has only been granted in the assurance ithat. owing to the pressure of other legislation. it cannot be passed at this session. There are others who as i that such support as the bill has been able to command in -the Senate has only been vouchsafed as a political ex- pedient in the conviction that the bill stitutional by the Supreme Court. The Star adheres to neither of these beliefs. The fight for and against the bill. waged principally behind the scenes, has been conducted on the {normal lines of state versus federal rights. Tt will ultimately be won or |10t depending upon whether Con- I gress. helieving the states or certain | thereof to be unaBle to cope with the monstrous evil of lynching, desires to place in the hands of the federal {courts an effective means of coping [ with a most pressing need and vital i problem. or does not so desire. i It is difficult in the light of existing ifacts to understand what must be {recognized as senatorial hesitancy '\mlnrliu&h to meet the situation. Sure- Iy the Senate Is aware that in the eyes women of America lynching is a Ihideous and abominable practice. |which must be stopped. Surely it jknows that the states where {ings occur. given every opportunity to prove their ability to stamp out that practice, have failed—that in the past six months thirty men have been burned or hung or shot or otherwise i done to death by mobs in the name of i Judge Lynch. Surgly they possess the lability to make whatever changes may {be essential to insure the constitu-| i tionality of the Dyer bill. to permit | | stern action by the federal authorities against either lynchers or such state | officers as fail to perform their duty 1in the matter of preventing lynchings. | The insistence upon “state rights” iis well enough in its time and place. i1t has frequently served its useful pur- | pose in curbing what has sometimes ibeen an overeagerness on the part of {the federal government for new au- thority. Yet it cannot be that ad- herence to a pet theory is to frustrate a step cbviously essential to the | termination of these ghastly excesses i which perioditally shock the nation. {The Dyer bill. hitherto most casually { handled, should promptly be accorded {the earnest attention to which it is | entitled. ———————— Judicial problems in this country {are becoming so interesting that Chief Justice Taft may be tempted to curtail | his studies in Europe and see America | first. —_——————— His demands for money from home betray the fact that Bergdoll has not succeeded in working any better than jhe did in fighting. In the year 1922 a railway strike is i not settled as rapidly as it was during | the war. A Logical Procedure. However “ridiculous and fatuous” it imay be in the eyes of Samuel | Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, the declaration of the Railroad Labor Board outlaw- i Ing the unions that have just gone on strike and calling upon the workers to form new organizations will be viewed by the public at large as a logi- cal procedure. The law established i this board as the arbitrator of wages |and working conditions In case of dis- pute between the operatives and the jrailroad companies. A decision was [recently rendered after argument and | hearing effecting a reduction of wages {paid the shop crafts, comprising six uniona Immediately a vote was taken, jand in consequence a strike was called and these men, with the exception of a few remaining loyal, have walked i out, thereby rejecting the wage board's !awnrd. The board now says that members of these striking organiza- tions “are no longer employes of the railways under the jurisdiction of the Railroad Labor Board or subject to the transportation act.” Inasmuch as n the future submission of disputes * * ¢ it will be desirable, if not a practical necessity, for the employes of each class on each carrier to form some sort of association or organiza- tion to function in the representation of said employes before the Railroad Labor Board,” the board urges that the employes remaining in service and those newly engaged form & new as- sociation for this purpose. This means that the Labor Board recognizes the necessity of organiza- tion, but cannot recognize an organi- zation that has refused to abide by its decisions. Nothing can be more con- sistent. The union principle is accept- ed, and the board constituted by law as the court of arbitrition merely re- quires that the unions taking advan- tage of the law shall be law-abiding. It is indicated in the dispatches that Ialm of deterring the maintenance of | the lower | ert | is : ultimately to be pronounced uncon- | this action of the board may have the way and other unions now considering the question”of striking from follow- ing the shop crafts. If that results the pronouncement will have been ex- pedient. If on. the contrary it results in angering the unions still at work into striking it will have been inex- pedient. But in either case the reason- ing of the board and the logic of its action cannot be disputed, though it may be denounced in sounding terms by the leaders of labor, whose judg- ment is prejudiced and whose expres- sions are discounted by the obligations of office.

The city shows the growth of fourteen vears, and can more than repeat in 1924 her success of 1908 in handlinz an enthusiastic and turbulent crowd. Such at least is the Denverian view of the case. In time probably—and the sooner because of Denver's alertness—we shall hear from St. Louis, Kansas {City, Minneapolis, Cincinnati, more and San Francisco, where tional conventions have been held.

Assuming the election of hoth Mr. Pinchot and Mr. Pepper—apparently |a safe assumption—it is guaranteed by the deliverances of both that they will co-operate in 1924 toward send- ling a Harding delegation to the re- publican national convention, and. later, toward securing for the state her usual place in the republican elec- tion column. —_———— The primaries indicate a disposition {to select the kind of republican most likely to win: a program which ought to be most satisfactory to a republican administration. —_————— Reconstruction will not proceed un- ! hindered until the jazz bands are per- i suaded to cease recalling the horrors {of war by performing “Over There.” ————— After sawing wood for a year or so Wilhelm Hohenzollern proceeds to write a book.

And during the Process of trying to bring them back after the business depression follow- {ng the war the government experts have found out just how close a Union this is. They found that one section of the country could not be riding along In prosperity while there was distress in another. Just a little offset in one section would be felt almost immediately in other indus- tries In other sections of the country. This condition was brought more impressively to the foreground when agriculture began to evidence dis- tress through lack of financing facili- ties. Examination of factors incident to the business depreseion from which the country is fast recovering brought up the fact that the farmers were In a serfous situation and in need of financial help. This brought about the revival of the War Finance Corporation, and through its efforts the farmers are rapidly getting back on their feet. *oxox % When It was seen that the farmers were getting back to normal, business conditions generally throughout the country began to perk up consider- nd then it was seen how surely prosperity was a barometer of generally.

The illness of Lenin is a very discouraging factor. as it has ham- pered the Moscow government in de- termining its plans. This has over- shadowed the latest success of hloyd George in winning Premier Poincare of France to his views. There seems seneral agreement that unless Russia has learned a lesson by the outcome at Genoa little relief can be hoped for from the present expert dizcussions in the Carnegie Peace Palace. The French experts, the Pittsburgh Leader points out, “admit facts, but insist that principles must take prec- edenca or there is an end to all things tangible with background of stability. So the battle lies between British practicability and French principles. The Fernch demand what they say is their due under the treaty and all known principles.” Although the United States s not represented. naturally. the Chicago News points out, "France has derived much com- fort and moral support from the Rus- sian policy of the American govern- ment.” And the very fact that this government does not participate brings from the Hamilton Spectator the lamentation that “the one and only country which possesses the sword to cut the Gordian knot is keeping aloof and, =0 long as that attitude prevails, it is hopeless to ex- pect a satisfactory settlement.” The outlook for a successful end- ing of the conference is none too Lright, in the opinion of the New York World, although if the experts “were really free to explore the problem and report the meeting might be of some use.” And the fact that Great Britain and France “are wide apart on the question of what attitude should be taken toward the red delegates” makes the outlook even worse, in the opinion of the Providence Journal. because “the dif- ference is serious and must be set- tled or compromised or all hope of tangible results from the meeting will go glimmering. So far as the Chicago Post is concerned, it very frankly declares that “we frankly don’t think the conference will force a deathbed repentance upon the tot- tering bolshevik government, and we do think that the British, by their insistence on continuing the farce of negotiating with Rates as if they were honest, self- respecting, God-fearing citizens, are more and more losing the sympath and gaining the smiles of the world. This sentiment likewise is indorsed by the Cleveland Plain Dealer, which, after paying tribute to the steadfast- of Lioyd George, continues: “Were it not for the iron determina- tion of this one Welshman the bol- shevists would already have been consigned to stew in their own welt- er and Russia would have been ad- monished that, much as civilization desires Russian co-operation, there can be no co-operation till the disease of communism has been eradicated by the Russians themselves. Unques- tionably this must be the final solution. There Is no question, the Memphis Commercial-Appeal points out, that “the acknowledgment of the sanc- tity of property rights is absolutely essential to the resumption of any sort of commercial relations with Russla, because without it any rela- tionship would not have the value of even a scrap of paper. The accept- ance of ordinary morality and justice by he Russian delegates would go a Jong way toward solution.” Failure to do this, the Hartford Times believes, is respongible for the United States stay- ing away from The Hague, because t “frankly recognizes the impossibil- ity of doing business with the pres- ent Russian regime.” 'The only chance of a successful termination, the Minneapolis Tribune believes, is that “the soviet delegates ayv be coerced by the bald necessi- ties of the case to make principle give way to expediency.” The Utica Press, entertaining a similar view, says “that Moscow will seize the op- portunity thus to improve its posi- tion with the leading powers of the world seems entirely unlikely. The Hague conference offers the soviet leaders a chance again, but they have committed themselves too far to take advantage of it.” And the pity of all this, the St. Louis Globe-Democrat makes it plain, is that “until Russia recovers her sanity and gets back to the solid foundation upon which trade and commerce, and all their blessings, have been founded 'since the beginning of human intercourse there can be no hope for restoration of prosperity to the world.” 'l'ryin‘to‘cmmnnluhvism:e-‘ T less With Mars.

The last twenty years have been characterized especially by the natlonalizing*of our economic in- terests. We are operating now in na- tional markets. Flour milled in Min- nesota from northern wheat is sold in avery part of the country. great fruit crops of Florida and Call- fornia seek a national market.

Smashing a Few Precedents. According to dispatches from Lon- don several precedents are to be broken as a result of the visit of Chief Justice Taft in England. If the present plan Is carried out, he will be the first non-member to ad- dress the house of commons. He would not address the house from the | “floor,” for that would be revolution- ary, but from the “bar,” which i on the same level, but technically without the sacred pale. Mr. Wilson, } while President, and Col. Roosevelt, after finishing his term of office, vis- ited London and were entertained, but there was no thought of inviting them to_address the house of commons. It is not stated why this extraor- dinary distinction has been reserved for Chief Justice Taft. Probably the explanation is to be found in the fact that our British cousins are unusual- ly anxious just now for America's friendship, and recognize in Mr. Taft the most influential and representa- tive American’ visitor who is Ifkely to be “in their midst” for a long time to come. Another precedent to be disr | garded in connection with Mr. Taft's visit is of a sartorial nature. It is announced that when presented to | foyalty he positively will not wear knickerbockers, the official court dress, but will be attired in his “cus- tomary suit of black” with his silk gown, which he assumes upon the bench, A third precedent goes by the board in"the acceptance by King George of invitations to various informal soclal affairs arranged for Mr. Taft's en- tertainment. It is sald not to be the custom of British® royalty to be 80 democratic. "Mr. Taft shares with Mr. Harding the reputation of the nation'’s champion “mixer”” He is going to. have a glorious time in England, and his hosts will enjoy his visit as much as he does. Notwith- standing its technically unofficial na- ture, his visit constitutes an event of international importance. = It promises to destroy several tradi- tions, including the one, that was al- most dead anyhow, that a natural antipathy exists between the great English-speaking peoples. — Pitts. burgh Chronjcle Telegraph.
