THE FOURTH OF JULY

This is the birthday of our Nation—the Glorious Fourth of July— the Anniversary of our*'National Independence. The United States is a country with a marvelous history. It has a marvelous people. Those old pioneers and patriots wrought better than they knew/ when they, in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution ©f the United States, laid down the basic principles on which the freedom of the people and their form of government was to rest. They indulged in no fancies nor dreams. They dealt with only r£al things. The fact that the Constitution has served so well the purposes of the Government for about one hundred and twenty-five years demonstrates the wisdom of its founders. That the Constitution has so adequately met all the requirements of the people of the United States during all of its wonderful development, demonstrates two very important facts worth keeping constantly in mind. First, that there are but few changes in the fundamental principles of civilized society, and second, that those principles Were thoroughly understood by the founders of this Government more than a century and a quarter ago. Stand by the Constitution, let come what will. It is the most sacred part of our government.

Let the Republican party stand steadfast for the principles for which it has always stood. Let it not be sidetracked because of the temporary popularity of wrong ideas.

No man ever influenced and controlled the Republican party more than Theodore Roosevelt, and no man in that party was ever so highly honored by official positions as he has been.

The people of the United States are again ready to begin a national campaign to determine what the policy of administration will be for the next four years. On the one hand is the Republican party in favor of the principle of protection, on the other hand is the Democratic party in favor of a tariff for revenue only. Under the one the business of the country is always uniformly good under the other it is uniformly bad. Under the general popular term of progressiveness, which is not very well defined in the minds of the people, the voters of the country seem inclined to vote the Democratic ticket. They are likely under the circumstances to overlook the beneficence of a protective tariff. Tariff for revenut only, or free trade, or any near approach it, has invariably produced unfavorable business conditions, which include low prices, low wages, industrial inactivity, tight money markets and high rate of interest. With the prospect so favorable to Democratic success this 'fall, owing to the split in the Republican party, it will not be surprising if business begins to check activity before fall.

There is much talk about the sure defeat of the Republican party at the coming election, and the candid Republican who looks at things as they are, is inclined to concede that there does not appear to be much chance for Republican success. As is often the case when a man or organization is down, there are plenty of people ready to kick and condemn. Even persons who have affiliated with such organizations often jump into the band wagon, regardless of the in-

consistency of their position. So far as we are concerned, we propose to stand by the Republican party. We do not propose to desert the old ship. It has weathered many "a sever storm ancj has accomplished much good. No other political party has ever held uninterrupted control of the country for so long a time. And during the control of no other political party has there ever been such wonderful development and prosperity.

It was thought if Governor Wilson should be nominated at Baltimore, Col. Roosevelt would not push his third party movement further, but would support Governor Wilson, but such seems not tobe the case. At any rate he is reported to have said that the nomination of Governor Wilson will make no change in his plans for a third party. He evidently heard the voice of Ed Lee and some other Indiana Republicans crying in the Wilderness, saying: dy!"

Rest Spray.

In spraying the potato bugs, O. E. Ulness explains in "Farm and Home" that he has found arsenate of lead superior to paris green, for the following reasons: It mixes easily with water. A barrel of solution can be made up, thus saving time in application. There is no danger of its burning the foliage, which the paris green will do if applied too strong. It does not wash off, even in a heavy rain, and it is cheaper than paris green.

Big Returns from Hay Crop. Chris Fink, one of the substantial land owners near Gem, was in this city Tuesday. He raises considerable hay and evidently thinks it is a profitable crop. In April and May he sold sixten^tons of hay, which averaged him $31.00 per ton, or almost $500 for the sixteen tons. He took advantage of the busy season when most farmers and hay raisers were too busy with their crops to haul hay, and when on account of that fact the price was very strong, and delivered the hay. When the price was weaker and he could get only $29 for a load he quit hauling. He still has several tons which he can sell at $20 per ton right at home. He sold his hay at Indianapolis.
