Today the one hundred and thirty- elghth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence will rated in many ways through- country in recognition of the of the act and the benefits which Bave accrued therefrom. There will be the unsestricted, free and reck- less cbservanee of the day with the usual accompantment of torn hands and fingers, powder filied faces, with Ppossibly the loss of an ‘eye oc a Hmb, and good chances that death will claim an extra number as the result. There will also be the safe and sane observ- ince and it will stand out in strong sontrast. Prefiting by former experiences with _their many sad features, a recognition M a useless sacrifice of human life 1nd & needless amount of anxiety and juffering, the wide open celebration is st giving way to the safe and sane, ind this is thankfully making con- verts each year. Such is resulting not tirely from the activity of municl- Jal authorities, although a firm stand fhereby has been of material aesist- pnce, but throush a realization upon part of the people in general that makes no such exorbitant flemands upon Young America, and ihat the same amount of effort can have mueh better resuits in other di- bt !l | Patriotism 1s not waning and it must Dever be allowed to, but there is an increase in the appreciation of the fommon sense method of observing Independence day. Let there be fitting zelebration of every succeeding anni- Versary, but let it be safe, sane and sensible. This is one instance at least where the new is a decided improve- ment over the old-fashioned. GETTING AT THE FACTS. The course which has been adopted by the president In calling to the White House for conference some of the leading business men, bankers and manufacturers of the country, is a delayed following of a practice which ‘Wwas considered advisabie by his pre- @ecessors. Whether this comes as the result of the outcry from the business interests of the country against the programme which has been mapped out by the administration, or whether it was something which had been plan- ned is not disclosed, but in view of the fact that such had not been con- sidered necessary while other economic legislation was being worked out but follows the widespread demand for the adjournment of congress that busi- mess may be given a chance to re- cuperate, the former seems likely. Getting in touch with business through some of the leading business heads of the country is not a bad policy. It'is thus possible to get the practical as well ss the theoretical Side of the remedy for existing prob- lems, If the president had taken this coursd before his famous announce- mnent in which he attributed the bus- iIness depression to thé existing state of mind, he would have had something Substantial upon which to make a convincing statement. If he has come - 10 believe that the poor business con- =~ lons d6 exist or is taking this course find out, there is no question but _ what it is by such action that he is o get at the resl facts in the ‘ PROGRESS MADE.

Medlation itself been strictly in accord with the { am peace convention; it has had a notably beneficial effect in South America; it has not ‘wrecked' the "Monroe doctrine; and, it it accomplish- ©s in the end no more than can be credited to it today, it still has made an important and permanent contri- butien to pan-American diplomacy.” It was tmpossible to overlook the fact that war was averted between this country and Mexico and if that only ‘becomes the fixed method of settiing international disputes, even in this hemisphere, progress has been made. A POOR SYSTEM. As is customary following the ac- tion of the so-called “plucking board” in the navy department, there is as- tonishment, regret and anger. Some who wanted to be placed upom the retired list failed to get there while others who have been of great value to thé department and gave promise of continuing to be, with fine chances of promotion, have been retired against their wishes. The existence of such a board with ity arbitrary powers and the lack of an opportunity on the part of those concerned to op- pose any such action, has long been the cause for criticism. The board was created for the purpose of making it possible for the officials lower down to get a chance in due course of time, | considering of course that they have the proper qualifications, but it has| resulted In the removal of so many officials who have by no means served out their usefulness and who are rec- ognized as men who stand high In their profession that the judgment of { the board never satisfies everyone. | It isn’t to be supposed that the mem- Dbers of the board find their task the | easiest to, perform when it rests with | them as to who are the most desirable { to retain, but such are the require- ments of the system and as long as it | is maintained like results can be ex- | pected. The announcement that the secretary of the navy is opposed to the existing method may stimulate | some change, but whether it does or | not, it would seem to be a desirable and needed reform. NOT A PARTISAN QUESTION. The statement by Mr. DuBois, late | minister to Colombia from the United | States in support of the proposed | treaty with that country carrles much | | weight in view of the attention which | he has given to this question and when he declares hi§ positlon In view of | the demands that he remain sflent, it is to his credit that his convictions are pot to be suppressed because of his folitics. The Colomblan question is ome which should be determined | upon the basis of justice and not of | partisanship. The facts Jn the case are what should govern in the final settlement and not the advantazes which might seem to accrue to any one party or the prejudice which may be aroused because of the cry ol “blackmail.” For years It has been generally rec- ognized, and each administration has held to that opinion, that Colombia has a claim against this country. It is ro today. Efforts to make a fair adjustment have failed In the past, Dut these failures have not disturbed the fact at the bottom of the matter that something is due Colombia. It isn’t a matter of partisanship or. a question on which parties should bid for the privilege of getting the credit which may be claimed therefrom. It is mot a claim either which calls for unreasonable conditions upon the part of those concerned. It should be pos- sible to get together through jus- tifiable modifications, for the same desire exists today as in the past, for | the restoration of the friendly rela- tions between the countries. EDITORIAL NOTES, Little encouragement will be offered | today to those who are working for the elimination of noise. Those not otherwise engaged today will probably find time to brush up| on the Declaration of Independence. It only comes once a year and it isn’t Young America who always gets the most fun out of the celebration. Those who are willing to get wet if it would only rain can generally sup- ply_the explanation for the missing umbrelia. With fish day and the.

For those who look upon the dry or- der in the navy as ‘“dropping the pilot” it is quite evident that the change has been delayed ‘too lonz. Rather is it the throwing overboard of a wrongly placed and treacherous enemy.

To be of industrious habits is not the whole thing. It has been said: “Without economy none can be richy and with it few will be poor.” It is better to prac- tice economy gy a habit than to be compelled to practice it from want. Those who do not know how to deny themselves, and feel safe to do things on credit travel fast along the road to bankruptcy. What makes matri- niony fnviting is ability to cope with life in a masterly way—a way that keeps the needs well within the means. It is the surplus, not the deficit, a fam- ily can tie up to. An Oklahoma city has just inaug- urated a Take-it-back-day on which everybody is advised to return the ar- ticles borrowed during the preceding vear and the reports are that the ex- Dress wagons and the parcels post were kept busy: and it can be imag- ined such a day would put a ha-ha! into life which lasts for quite a while. Then an.lowa city has a ‘‘newcomer's day.” when the new residents of the city are made honored guests and are uscd just as our New England cities receive and welcome absent sons and daughters when they come home for a visit. I am inclined to think there will be a_day inaugurated by and by to plan for the honor of a present generation as we do now for a past. A way may be discovered to have a real blessing for a future generation, instead of a municipal debt and call- ing that a blessing. It is well to show gratitude for private gemerosity, but there is no law against a spirit of en- terprise which will carry joy to a new. age and at the same time honor the past. It must have been a joker who made June 21st Father's d It must be conceded father deserves a day as well as mother; but we all know father's day is not the longest day. When it comes to comparisons Father's day should have been on Dec. 21st and Mother’s an June 21st. The g0od book warns us to honor our father and our mother, that our days may be long n the lang the Lord giveth us! There seems to be no real good reason for having two days, since marriage is believed to make the married one in purpose_and spirit. What Is the use of dividing the house against itself when unity and love are the only things which can halloy wedded life. It isn't love which makes special hon- ors along the line of days, but com- mercialism—wear a carnation in honor of McKinley; wear a pure White flow- er in honor 'of mother. The honoring of parents in unity carries honor to all. Do not be hypnotized by a false idea, Beware of yourself when you feel the thrill of superiofity to anyone taking possession of your mind. Just gzet busy with a definition of that word— Superior! In capability, capacity or what? We all have our trials with thig feeling, and we too often let it possess us instead of finding out whether it is well-founded or not. We do not ask urselves whether it is in heart or d, or taste or performance. It only takes trifles to set weak people up in this world. Some conceited people develop such a spirit of superiority they do not care to have their parents known—they come to despise life’s be- ginnings and commence to live a lie instead of the truth. The most supe- rior people on earth today are those who abide in truth and who live for the truth. A false conception of life is bad. A false conception of self is worse.. The grandest man was not med of the place of his birth, or uperiorit. What gives a person the reputation of being a fool? Persons born without sense are called fools, but they are in the minority in the fool family. An Arabian proverb say: “A fool may be known by six things: anger without cause, speech without profit; change ‘without progress, inquiry without ob- ject, putting trust in a_stranger, and mistaking foes for friends.” It is easy in life to do a foolish thing, but it is only by repetition we can gain a fool's repute. There is such a large oppor- tunity to s! our trolley that we should have a care not to. Alertn is the guard against folly; and attention the spur to correct action. Life doesn't seem designed to confer honors upon those wh mope. Action captures all the premiums. The more we do the more we may do, “for every noble activity makes room for itself.” Con- ceit, pride, vanity, all lead the way to the fool's repute. He is most wise who keenly realizes his own lack of wis- dom. The people who like to hear them- selves talk are oftenest caught telling the most improbable stories. It Is possible that as many lies have been originated by those who like to be entertaining as by any other class. The most rapid liar is the one who feels compelled to tell a thousand lies to hide a little indiscretion or foolishness. It is not pleasant to be lied about, but there is nothing very serious about it. Lyman Beecher in his day said many Here are two of them: faster than anyone. can lie me out of it! Never chase a lie. Let it alone ang it will run itself to death.” The polite white lies have been classified as the ushers of the black ones. Lies seem to increase by breeding, and one lie comes from another with surprising gontinuity. Cowardice has fathered more lles than the devil ever did, and in this day, with jealousy, is the chief carrier and publisher of falsehoods. It is useless to lie‘when the truth will serve one better, but some people do not_hesitate, even under such circum- stances In March from the attic was brought dozen live nymphs in it. It was finally placed in a bottle and left for devel- opment and the first two wasps emerged on the 11th of June: and they were vigorous and noisy, calling im- mediate attention to themselves and these were released. On the 12th an- other came forth and two days later a fourth. These seemed ‘to be weak and thy made no buzzing and died in a very short time. On the 23rd of June two more robust wasps appeared in the bottle and b ed vociferously for freedom and they were reieased on the following day. These wasps are solitary and did not keep company as they flew away- and this nest seems to have been the work of one wasp and to represent the offspring of one family. As with man those capable of making the most noise fared bes! They must have known how to make plaster before man did; and in seeking the abode of men to winter their young! they show excellent judgment. There was a day when they could not resort to such a place for protec- tion.

Were she, Mrs. Pounce Pounce, the Methodist minister’s wife, similarly placed, she knew very well she would be doleful and make all who came in her way the same. She must take Miss Hope on her own terms, however, 50 she contented herself with saying that it was wonderful how she Kept up and how did she do it. “Of course we know, Miss Hope that you are under no restriction in money mat- ters. There you have the advantage of many of us. Now we need so much at the parsonage. Mr. Pound needs & new suit very much. I should think his poople would be ashamed to sit and listen to him preach in his old frayed linen and shiny coat and I am the most poorly dressed woman in the meeting house, but no one appears to_think of it, “There is a place where I can help, perhaps,” suggested Miss Hope. “Would you prefer a ready-made suit or the materials for making it? The Ppresent fashions are so grotesque that it is difficult to suit one'’s own taste at all times,” and she smiled at the thought of - plain, prim Mrs. Pound abpearing in church the next Sunday in an up-to-date costume. Calling her faithful companion and maid, Miss Hope asked for her purse and placed in her guest’s hand a genmerous sum of money. Her checkbook was never used for gifts, for she did not wish her name to be used at such times, Her caller rose to go soon after and was profuse in her thanks for the fa- vor received. She was almost cheer- ful, for she was certain that the money in her hand if carefully spent would buy a suit for the parson as well as his wife, and with all her complainings she was devoted to her husband. Possibly Miss Hope had made the same estimate and was de- lighted to see the change & little gift could produce. Positively the corners ©of her mouth were as nearly turned up as they were ever known to be. orthodoxy is my doxy and heterodoxy yours. We believe what we should be- lieve and the other fellow - believes what he shouldn’t. We know when to be credulous and when to be skep- tical, but he doesn't. The mclenml bequeathed us a lot of folklore and old game’s stories for children, and we still have a lurking feeling that some wf them may be true. If we do not believe in the evil eve, a good many people beliove in things just as un- believable. There is a mystery about life we cannot fathom, and unseen powers we are taught exist, but these This is why there is such confusion in the judg- ment of men along these lines, SUNDAY MORNING TALK THE PROVIDENCE OVER AMER- ICA. In a_stirring chapter setting forth the difficult planting of the first Eng- lish colony on Virginian soil, John Fiske pauses to remark: “In the un- folding of these events there is poetic beauty and grandeur as the purpose of Infinite Wisdom. reveals itself in the cosmic process, slowly but inexorably, hasting not, but resting not, heedle of the clashing aims and discordant cries of short-sighted mortals, sweep- ing their tiny efforts into magical cur- rent, and making all contribute to the fulfiiment of God’s will.” The impression left upon this master mind is shared by any who follow the course of our country's history. The hours of uncertainty and of crisis have not been few. Many a time it must have seemed to the actors that the drama they were playing was to end in confusion. So it often seemed to us of a later day save as we postulate the entrance into our human affairs of a Power who makes the forces of nature and the wrath of man to praise Him. Forest and famine and hostile In- ans seemed destined ever and again to snuff out the first feeble settlement both in Virginia and in Massachu- setts. Ruin was imminent later when the sparse population along the Atlan- tic seaboard took up arms against a rich and populous mother country. The end of war found our forefathers plunged into new problems, The fi years succeeding the close of the Re olution- have been called the “critical period of American history.” ~ When the constitutional convention convened in Philadelphia on May 25, 1787, 11 deys after the appointed time, ‘any prospect of unity among the delegates seemed distant indeed. Benjamin Franklin, though a man not easily shocked, was so troubled by the alter- cations around him that he moved that prayers be said every morning In the interest of harmony. ~After a day filled with dlssensions and strifes Franklin pointed to a sun painted behind the speaker's chalr, saying: “I have often and often in the course of the sessi and.in the vicisitudes of my own hopes and fears as to the issue looked at that sun behind the president without Deing able to tell whether it was ris- ing or setting.” Although under eclipse once and again, although not yet come to its zenith, the sun of the republic is a ri ing and not a setting one. A hil destiny awaits America. God has es- tablished the Nation for a great pur- pose of which not one jot or title shall pass away till all be fulfilled. To_the founder of the Hebrew race the Almighty s: “I will make of thee a great nation and in thee shall all the families of the earth be bless- ed” Is mot that the conviction that overy lover of his country must cher- ish for America?

I was watching to see Mrs, Pound go away before I came here, and what do you think I saw over here on your lawn Your robins are 50 tame and you pet them so, Ezekiel was using the sprink- ling hose and some of your robins were faking a bath. They would step into the edge of the spray and get 2 nice little shower bath, then re- treat, shake themselves, and return for anothér sprinkle. They were S0 cunning, I laughed to_see them. “Yes” sald Miss Hope, “and the thistle birds are so plenty. I was watching them earlier in the day and the air seemed filled with yellow streaks. But I saw something pret- tier than all the rest. Did you ever watch a robin try to teach a young bird to build a nest Well, this morn- ing I saw it done. The old bird was showing the younger one how to pick up twigs for nest-building. The young one took too many at a time. The more experienced bird knew that and went close up tc her pupil and took the twigs from her mouth. Then in some magic way she made her un- derstand that fewer should be taken at a time_and at last the little bulld- er was able to fly upward with her load to the nest in question. “We never let any cats molest them, and they feel safe here. What if they do take a cherry now and then. They Tepay us with their happy songs and Dorcas, and Ezekiel and I are happy with them, “Everybody says you spoll everyone who comes under your roof with Kind- ness,” said Ruth when they were once more by themselves in the cozy sit- ting room, but you get good, faithful service from your attendants, and that is more than most people do now-a- days. Papa says he wishes he could get someone to work as well as Eze- kiel does. Your garden is always ahead of ours. Our peas are not ready yet. Papa says most of those em- ployed now-a-days draw their pay and draw their breath and care for noth- ing else. When the gloaming set in, Miss Hope sat in the twilight and counted the day’s blessin “I am sure of the sunny side of life,” she mused, “as long ss I can count dear friends, the simple joys of birds and flowers, and the pleasure of being of use to others, and for all this I am thankful.” AN IDLER. l FAMOUS TRIALS TRIAL OF EARL FERRERS. Ferrers was the name of a great Norman-English feudal house, which dated from the time of Willlam the Conqueror. The earls of Ferrers seem to have been a bloodthirsty lot and were distinguished for their ungovern- able tempers, which brought several of them to an untimely end. One of these was Laurence Shirley, the fourth earl, who was born In 1 Insanity in the Ferrers family may have been respon- sible for the actions of Barl Ferrers, for from an early age his behavior seems to have been eccentric and his temper violent. His wife was com- peiled to secure a separation from him for cruelty in 1758. From his youth there was employed in the earl’s family a man of the name of Johnson. The man had always faithfully performed his duty and was apparently satisfactory to the earl. On Sunday, Jan. 13, 1760, the ear] call- ed on Mr. Johnson at his house and requested him to come to his country seat at Stanton on the Friday follow- Ing, between 3 and 4 in the afternoon. In the interval the earl took care that the time Mr. Johnson was expect- ed the house should be as empty as possible. Mr. Johnson was punctual in his arrival and was let in by one of the maids. After waiting for some time the earl called him into his apart- ment, immediately locked the door, and, after some business conversation, shot him with a pistol, of which wound he afterward died. As soon as the earl had committed this deed he called the maid servants and ordered them to lead Mr. Johnson upstairs and put him to bed. He also sent a servant for a surgeon and an- other for Mr. Johnson's children. When the surgeon arived the earl desired him to take all possible care of him, but would not consent to his being re- moved to his own house. The eurgeon found that the wound was mortal, and Johnson died the fol- lowing morning at 9 o'clock. The earl was seized after which he was con- veyed to Leicester jall and from thence to the Tower.of London, where he was tried by the feers, found gullty of mur- Jer and ordered fo he executed on May Ferrers conducted his own defense with great ability. The plea was in- sanity and it was supported by con- #icerable evidence. After he had been condemned he stated that he had pleaded insanity to oblige his family, and that he had himself always bee: ashamed of such defense. With respect to the death of Mr. Johnson the earl said he was under pecullar circumstances, and had met with s0 many crosses and vexations that he scarcely knew what he did, and solemnly protested that he had not. the least malice against him. During the time the earl was in the tower he was, for the most calm, but wquid sometimes start, and hastily unbutton his waistcoat, and indicate by other gestures that his mind was disturbed. languages and histaries, and your 50 blood hatreds and rivalries.

God is. making the American” THE PARSON, A few days before the time set for his_execution the earl sent for his wardrobe, and chose out of it a white suit richly laced and embroldered with silver, saving “this la the suit in which I was married, and {n which I wish to die.” On the 5th of May, 1780, the day fixea for his execution at' § in the morning the two sheriffs of London, attended by their officers, d at the tower gate.

This was granted Ferrers and the procession then began and proceeded through a numerous crowd of specta- tors on the way to Tyburn. In their passage the earl asked the sherift if he had ever seen so great a concourse of peopie, and upon his answering in the negative, he rejoined “I suppose it is because they never saw a lord The passage from the tower to Ty- burn took up almost three hours, and the earl frequently expressed his de- sire that the journey was ended. His lordship walked up the stairs of the scaffold with great composure and fortitude, with his hat in his hand. It has been said that as slon to his order the rope with which he was hung was made of silk. The pectators, struck with the novelty of ing a peer of Great Britain in such a_ situation, dovmed to death for ths crime of murder, and suffering like a common malefactor for taking the life of one of their own rank, beheid him Wwith a respectful silence mixed with pity, and while they commisserated his fate almost forgot his crime. EVERY DAY REFLECTONS No Double Service. For a time youth may dream that two paths are possible; it may nurse high imaginings and sink to debas- ing pleasures. It is a condition that cannot continue: the one or the other of the two natures must prevail, the one must become subject to the other. Slowly but surely the higher vision will fail. the insight will be dimmed, the noble aim will become less keen; sensuous joys will possess the imagi- nation and permeate the thought, till the ruling will itself has became single and its singleness of purpose is toward the lower. It is in this manner that youth so often loses its ideal, tarnishes its brightness; the two masters were served for a short time, but one has gradually usurped the throne. We may be conscious that this has taken piace with ourselves, or that at this moment it is taking place; we may feel that our hold on the spiritual is slipping from us because we are be- coming more and more possessed by the material. The goid lust or other lusts of the grosser side of us may. be selzing our inmost places, intrud- ing into what should be the holy of holies. We need not preach asceticism or any denial of beauty; eujoyment of the external, the pleasures of health and activity ‘and of the exulting senses | are all rightful In their due _degree.| But if they dominate us they kill that other and better side which reaches | toward ideals of high service, that part of us which longs to be unselfish | and loving and helpful. We shall be | pervaded and held by the baser self, | the vice or the selfishness that kills | ous desire of ministry. Having slighted the spiritual, the time may come when we shall see it | no longer; the meaning of type and ' symbol shall be lost; life will hold | nothing sacramental, no outward sign | of inward significance. We shall see | only the letter, the thing that we can ! touch and handle; the spirit will be. dead. We may be double in our paesing | wishes, ‘our impulses, our secondary purposes; we must be single in the will that' shapes our lives. There can be no double service here. OTHER VIEW POINTS || Haq we a primary plan it would be ! different, you hear on every side..| Yes, it would be somewhat different, | but at the same time where a primary | plan permits of an expense account the coin will count in politics just the same.—Middletown Press. | “I won't be governor” protests the colonel to the bull moose. “I won't be vice-president” he once protested to Tom Platt.

It all depends upon how much eftéct noise has upon the average democratic Voter and how many folyowers the new movement will accumulate. If the mutiny against democratic meth- ods shows signs of growth there is liable to be a bout pulled off in the vicinity of the progressive democratic headquarters, which will cast the Donnybrook 'Fair into pale eclipse.
