In some of the larger citles the recreation grounds, under adequate supervision, were opened last week. The local grounds will be opened this week to eontinue ,until school opens and throughout the country increased interest in this effort to do something for the children is being mgnifested each year. The children are entitled to it and they have’a right to expect that something will be done for them in this way of providing them a proper place to play and in seeing that such regulations will be established and maintained there as will be in accord- ance with moral and educatignal in- terests and good discipliy How many lives may be saved or accidents prevented by keeping chil dren off the street, which playgroynds are expected to do and actually suc- ceed in accomplishing, can never be told, but it is known that they must play and if they have nc other place it will be done in the streets with all the attendant dangers. It is also for the purpose of keeping them out of mischief apd away from harmtul places, other than the streets, and ading them in wholesome and health- 1l exercise. The playgrounds in orwich have been a success in the past. The community has indicated its approval by its support and it now remains to encourage the movement at every possible opportunity that the a greater suc- coming season may b the ot cess than in OUR FOREIGN BUSINESS. there has been no slackening Th: de upon this coun- stence of the the in the demands m: because of th ex cated by e just been f commerce for by the month of which show that e fc iod reached the to millign dollars or re: record ever made, is 300 May ated that when it tion doila; is s ave- r— FOURTH OF JULY. The Fourth of July has a‘different significance ' today than it has had m many of the 140 years since the Decla- ration of Independence was signed. ‘We have appreciated the value of our Iiberty in a matter of fact sort of a way and proceeded to enjoy our free- dom fully and freely. W wve grown to upderstand the benefits and desira- bilig% of peace but we have grown 1ffo the habit of celebrating the anni- ary in a perfunctory way, with ore or less noise, picnics and recrea- ‘tion. The last two years have given us Teason to stop and consider just what this day of jollification really means. We have witnessed the struggle that is going on amonsz the nations of Eu- rope with all its attendant horrors, the setbaclk to civilization, the de- struction of life and property, the wip- ing out of institutions and the effect which all is bound to have upon hu- manity in general, and it all bids us stop and ccnsider whether w cure against the ravages of war. This country has stood firmly for peace and it stands the same today. It likewise is as determined as ever that its rights must be upheld and it rec- ognizes that if its policy in that re- spect is going to bé maintained it must be prepared to protect them. It must be ready to see that it is not trampled upon and that its ideals are lived up to. Problems which have arisen in the past year and a half and even the present trouble with Mexico all go to emphasize the fact that the ability to maintain our position and to insure peace lies in the adequate preparation for the nation’s defense. t has been seen that our insecurity in dreaming about, or imagining our curity instead of actually which will insure it. on this great anniversary we h: son to give added thought to the meaning of the day, a day which should witne the display of real patriotism, the u holding of the national emblem on sll pecasions and the support of the sountry’s sound principles. MEETING = THE NATION'S DE- MANDS. According to the provisions of the »ill which has been drawn for the Baising of additional revenue to meet the needs of the country, there hazs been a departure from the old demo- --@ratie’ idea of free trade and tarift for tevenue only. This is disclosed in lies taking steps Thus 1911 what in the this coyntry alone were $0 million dollars n of the exports for the entire of 1870, while the yearly total raze from appreciated s means on for year eunding with May runs up to the enor- mous amount of 4,136 million dollars. Likewlise there has been a substan- tial increase in imports, May's fizures showing a value of 229 million dojlars, of which over 65 per cent. entered duty free or more than five per cgnt more th May of last vear. Thus as the war has progressed we have con- tinved to e nce a steady increase in foreign trade while buying morc goods from abroad, but with the & ance in our favor by an amount which never repched before. Last May the war had been progress for ten months. Orders begun to be received here to make up for the shortages in other fields but e large part of the export busine was a matter of future orders these are now going forward in gre: volume. It was impossible to meet them at once. There were local con- ditions to .be considered and it was necessary to make elaborate prepa: tions for filling them especially when muniticns of war were considered, but the country has now, from all indica- tions, struck its gait and it is not improbable that many other records Il be exceedeq before a falling off is experienced, provided the war con- tinues. in had EDITORIAL NOTES.

At Yuma, ear the juncture of the Gila River with the Colorado, the Mne takes its final change of direction, toward the west, terminating in the Pacific, 140 miles distant. “This boundary s marked by 258 monuments, more than 200 of which are of cast iron weighing 300 pounds. They are six feet tall, and set in con- crete. The expense of their erection, borne jointly by Mexico and the United States, averaged $150 each. “With the exception of Bisbee, Santa Cruz, Yuma and San Diego, there are few settlements of any size within a 20 mile zone on each swe of the boundary, embracing an area of 24,- 000 square miles. “Although the boundary was chosen arbitrarily, when the work of survey- ing, it was found that the line between the Colorado and the Rio Grande fol- lowed almost exactly the summit of the divide separating .the waters flowing north into the United States from those flowing south into Mexico. “The highest point on the line is at the summit of the San Luis range, a part of the continental divide. The elevation is 6,600 feet, which is neari 3,000 feet above El Paso. It is in thi high altitude that quantities of game are to be found, making it one of the most interesting sections of the line. Here antelope, deer, bear and wild tur- keys are plentiful, and the acorns from the evergreen oaks of the picturesque valleys attract great flocks of wild pigeons, Many years ago there were 8 few straggling settiements in this region, but they were abandoned dur- ing the raids of the ruthless Apache chief, Geronimo. “One of the most considerable towns aiong the border is Bisbee, Ariz., with a population of 9,000. Tt is situated in the Mule mountains, 15 miles from the border. Tombstone, which is 20 miles northwest of Bisbee, was once one of the great mining camps of the world. “In a valley to the west of the Babo- quivari Mountains, also called the Pozo Verde Mountains, 200 miles east of the Colprado River, the traveler sometimes is so unfortunate as to en- counter a sand-storm which In se- verity rivals the torrid tempests of the Sabara Desert In thelr report to the United States government the Interna- tional (Mexican) Boundary Commis- sion, which made the final survey of the line and erected the monuments which now’mark"the border described such a storm, saying, “In this valley on July $rd, was encountered a sand storm of frightful violence.

As a member of congress he was a partici- pant in several of the most important Qiscussions of questions of govern- mental policy which have ever occur- red in our history, and his utterances both spoken and writen, were based upon such extensive knowledge and were characterized by such logic and fitness of literary expression as will insuro them a high place in our polit- ical lfterature. For the most part his speechies in congress deal with sub- jects of permanent importance end continuing interest.

In our flight I stumbled over a stone at the very instant a customs officer fired at my back. I lay motionless, and the officer, thinking T had been hit, joined his comrades in the pursuit of Brousset. As soon as the officers had disappeared, I got up and went to hide in bushes nearby. At that moment I was on Dutch territory, but unfortu- nately I did not suspect it.
