CM J ua figure 1 k ejus - . aiAfcjj.i i i i a a si THE FOURTH OF JULY As a day of really sincere national feeling the Fourth of July has almost lost its meaning to Americans. Thanksgiving and Memorial Day are now more truly the expression of the feeling that once marked the celebration of real patriotic loyalty. With a democratic tendency toward the tearing down of our national festivals, we have made the Fourth one of danger to the population in an attempt to let loose our effervescence which kills almost as many people annually as a minor battle of the Revolution. The action of the local 1 police in putting a ban on the absurd practices of the past ought to be commended, especially if well enforced. The many cases of tetanus resulting from the apparatus of noise making the many cases of burns and lost eyesight and maiming for life, however pleasing the process may be to those who Insist on risking their own and other people's health, property and persons, ought to be eliminated. , No one will object 'more strenuously than the small boys against the seeming desecration of the Fourth that day of pure and unadulterated noise but. The death rate is a little too great even In comparison with the large amount of noise made. THE CASE OF MISS DAILY It will be a hard hearted man or woman who will not feel some little sympathy and interest in the affaire of Miss Daily. It is not often that we have young women doing such a thoroughly romantic and daring thing as she has done in dressing herself in male attire and proceeding into the wide world .with her sweetheart. The most of us are not so filled with the spirit of the Renaissance of intensity of love that we take such steps In this day and generation. But it is worth-while ,to call the attention of people to the fact that there are many people who ; will seriously condemn the action of Miss Daily without seeing any,, good in her attitude in the world of straight laced convention. The most of the people who condemn her would applaud her action were she the heroine of a novel What seems a good thing in one place ought to be a good thing in the other but with charming inconsistency we most of us prefer our romance in books and not in life. . - Most people will consider her action foolish. Perhaps it is, but the conventionality of modern life does not often furnish any adequate coun terpart to the ; full blooded spirit which she has shown. ' In the matter of loyalty she has shown something which is more often expressed in words than in deeds. Ami tnat is a better thing than not having loyalty at all. REPRODUCING CLASSICS The production of the Merchant of Venice by the students of the Rich mond high school la worth commend lna- from several points of view. The fact that they selected a Shakesperean play has called forth some little criticism from some people who think that the works of the greatest English dramatist a little too much .. for the average high school student. , We are far from asserting that It Is possible to have as good a performance' by high . school pupils of , the Merchant of Venice as by the late Sir Henry Irving. On the other hand we do think that the selection of a standard play for production by amateurs Is far better judgment than . the at tempt to reproduce some little modern

aoa la that not area rthe poorest acting can altogether apoll a good play while It takes the moat finished act

ing to pat anything Into a play In which there was little to atart with. , Not that It la necessary to pick out a Shakeeperean play. Tbere are many other standard plays both old and new which hare plenty In them. There is a distinct gain in making people realize that there is something in the plays of Goldsmith. Sheridan. Beaumont and Fletcher. These never grow stale and from their very antiquity are particularly new and pleasing to a modern audience. A wisfay washy play of amateur production is almost the last cry It Is bad enough in the hands of the most competent professionals. EDWARD EVERETT HALE The death of Dr. Hale brings to prominence his varied activity as a divine and literary man. His extreme age together with his qualities for friendship and the eminence which he has held for years, made him the companion of many of the greatest American and women of the last cen tury. Although his literary achieve ments are considerable, yet only one of them "The Man Without a Country" is well known to the mass of present day readers. This tale has long ranked as one of the ten great est of the American short stories. But his real service to the country and his generation has not been confined to what would seem to be the natural field o? his operations. His whole life, filled with constant effect on what ever came to his hand was the true measure of his greatness. Edward Everett Hale might be called the American Prophet. He was ever alert to the spirit of construction and progress which saw its beginning in a confidence in the survival of the good and the gradual elimination of the worthless in this country in times of stress. His optimism could never be shattered by the transient and apparent supremacy of the bad. As an old man be never looked back on the past with gloomy forboding for the future. As a prophet, he was the prophet not of defeat, but of the ultimate victory. There was nothing of the Hebraic type of gloomy foreboding In his outlook. In Dr. Hale the last of those who centered about Concord and formed the brilliant galaxy of high thinking passes. There was not the austerity of aloofness about him which characterized many of that school. It was an intensely human and vital interest which he took in all things about him which made him so Important a factor in the development of the spiritual thought of the country. Many a man who has never heard of Dr. Hale Or who views him with disinterest is today the beneficiary of his thinking. The fact that Hale led a life of comparative repose dealing with thinkng rather than things, has made his life comparatively uneventful. This is the price that any one In his occu pation of steady service must always pay. But the sphere of his influence was, and is, so creat that he leaves a gap which it will , take the world sometime to fill. That is the reason that his death means more than the passing of a purely literary man and accomplished preacher. LAYING THE GHOSTS. Lord Charley Beresford knows how to pour oil cn whirlpools, and how to create peace where once turmoil bubbled. Hear him, and remember he is talking to the English nation, which just at present is panting with terror, discovering a squadron of murderous Teutonic airships every time a sum mer cloud sails by, finding bombs in sausages, invaders in the pantry, and fear in everything. He says of the British naval inquiry, now going on "If the committee finds that things are not as they should be which I have no doub they will there is no necessity for panic. There will be many points which will become public and which will cause dissatisfaction, but don't let us have a panic don't let us get hysterical!" This is the perfect method for al laying terror. It can be adapted to many trying situations. Enter a young ladies' boarding school and state simply but candidly to your little hostess: "A mouse is nibbling your left boot, but don't jump." Tell your friend at the club: "There is arsenic in that glass of sarsaparllla which you just tossed off so jauntily, but don't grow pale." It is the same sort of friendly advice that we once read in a public park in Carlisle, England, where stood a mighty historic cannon. rrom its suem muzzle depended a printed notice: "Do not roll newspa-, pars into a ball and force into the muscle of this gun."

Nagel May Resign From Cabinet

SECY NAGEL AND Washington, June 12. Persistent mmnrs of a cabinet shakeuD are heard about Washington. The latest report is that Charles Nagel, secretary of the department of commerce and labor, soon will cease to be connected with the administration. That thr i a. rood deal of commotion underneath the surface in Cabinet circles seems certain. vrel has had a trvine experience since he left his lucrative taw practice at St. Louis to acceot one of the most difficult of the cabinet portfolios, His row with Director North of the census bureau, which resulted in North being forced out of the public service, began soon after he took orflee. With North out of the wav. his troubles have not come to an end, as the department is full of cliques and North has friends in the service who are backing him wherever possible. Some of the most influential members of the senate have undertaken to bring-about the appointment of former Senator James A. Hemenway aa secretary of commerce and labor In the event of Nagel's retirement. Hemenway Would Decline Job. The nositlon is one that demands a good business man who has the facItems Gathered in From Far and Near Preparing for the Fourth. rrom the New York Tribune. The significant information is given , to the public that the health department of this state Is prepared to provide phy sicians with supplies of tetanus antitoxin for use on the coming Fourth of July and the days immediately fol lowing. It is understood that at that time tbere will be a large number of persons in peril of death from one of the most agonizing and most fatal dis eases known to the human race, and this provision is made in the hope of thus rescuing some of its victims. Also we are informed that the fire de partments of this and other cities will be exceptionally vigilant on the Fourth of July, and that the various hospitals will have all their surgeons and ambulance attendants on duty. It is generally recognized that the anniversary of the nation s birth is to be a day of disaster, of suffering and of death, wherefore all practicable means are to be sought for alleviating its distress. The Smoker's Imagination. From the Syracuse Post-Standard. In brief, smoking is not a mere matter of drugging the system, nor even of acquiring a certain taste in the mouth; the sense of sight enters into it considerably and imagination most of all. How else shall we account for the fact that no smoker can tel! with his eyes shut and his hands tied whether his cigar is alight or not? Th; Cocaine Habit. From the Chicago Tribune. Not until this late day has the dangerous nature of the cocaine habit been fully recognized in New York city. The rapidly increasing number of users of the drug has at last attracted the attention of the police. Aided by a new state law they are about to begin an active campaign against the men who sell the stuff. Chicago became aware of the existence of the cocaine evil several years ago and began fighting it. Much has been accomplished, though not all that could be desired. The men who carried on a nefarious traffic have been driven out of it or driven into holes and corners. Unremitting vigilance on the part of the authorities will ultimately put them all out of business. Problems. From the New York Sun. Now we know what whisky is perhaps the definition of a democrat is in sight. Night Sessions. From the Columbia State.

ulty of getting along smoothly with those associated with him. The same senators who undertook to get Mr, Hemenway happily placed In the cabinet soon after Mr. Taft was inaugurated have been spurred to a renewal of their efforts by the report that Mr Nagel's tenure will not last much longer. Several senators who have broached the matter to Mr. Hemenway have not met with any encouragement from him. He Is satisfied with his work as an expert for the budget committee "I do not want a cabinet position,' he said. "I do not believe that one will be offered to me and I would not accept u u were. As the president s cabinet contains so many new men it is out natural that there should be more or less of a shakeup before it settles down to normal basis, several of the cabinet orficials are men who left salaries much larger than they are getting and professional work that was entirely congenial. They were lured by what appeared to be the attractiveness of a position in the cabinet, but their illusions have been dispelled and the drudgery of cabinet service is making them dissatisfied. h th- monBr tw wnn-t etond the light of day. Revolution! From the New York Evening Post. With a city magistrate sending sub way hoodlums to the workhouse and a motorman laying out Yale rowdies with his controller handle, the attack on vested rights enters a new phase. Can Drink Himself To Death. From the Providence Journal. As the duty on hemlock has not been in creased, the ultimate consumer is at liberty to emulate Socrates on com paratively easy terms. TWINKLES The Land of Kentucky. (Louisville Courier-Journal.) "Know'st, thou, the land where the corntassels bloom. Where the mystical cocktail exhales its perfume. Where the highballs sparkle with flav or divine, And the schooners, sail fast 'neath the shade of the vine? Know'st. thou, that land, that beauti ful land? "Know'st, thou, the land where the julep was born. Where the Mint yields its breast to the Spirit of corn. Where the ice strikes the glass with a musical . sound, And the straw shrieks aloud when the bottom is found? "Know'st. thou, that land, that beauti ful land? Hear'st, thou, the call of the Bluegrass to thee: Come over the river, come Southward to me, Where a welcome awaits from Ken-i tucky's old boys, Oh, come to that Southland and taste of her joys? Oh, come to that land, that beautiful land. "Know'st not that land? Then thou art unlucky, Tis gallant, 'tis brave, 'tis hearty Kentucky That calls from the river that flows to the sea. Come Southward to meet us, cross ov-j er and see. Oh, come to that land, that beautiful land." An Unrelenting Critic "All I did." said the big grain spec - ulator, "was to take advantage of an opportunity. "Well," answered Farmer Corntossel, "that's all Capt Kidd used to do." An Aspersion Suspected. "That Is quite a remarkable Rem brandt," said the connoisseur. "Sir!" rejoined Mrs. Cumrox. "les, Rembrandt, you know. The great painter." "Oh! I thought you said 'remnant." Filling the Air With Music. "What our social system needs,' said the art enthusiast, "is some arrangement by which every person will have a chance to listen to music" "Good idea!" rejoined the builder. 'Til have the; walls of my next apart ment house made even thinner." Measurement of Regard. "You think Baron Fucash esteems

that heiress more than when he first proposed to her?

"I don't say he esteems her home. answered Miss Cayenne; "but he values her more highly. There has been a big rally In the stock market since) then." Contest. "Who's got the button?" was the game That childhood loved to play. 'Twas innocent, but just the same It whiled the hours away. And eager cries would loudly ring t Amid the hurrying throng; It was a very simple thing And yet in interest strong. Maturity brings different sports, With riotous unrest; Men of all tempers and all sorts Put fortune to the test And various plans'we deftly frame To shun the loser's ways. Who's got the lemon V is the game That everybody plays. . LITERARY WORLD THE BALLOON Aft A MANAGEABLE CARRIER. When a four-funneled, twenty-seven-knot steamship sets out from New York Harbor toward Europe, the offl cers of the company at the dock and the captain on the bridge do little wor rying about the ocean currents which the big boat is going to meet on her journey across the sea. They may worry a little about the possibility of her meeting head-winds, but only then i because the head-winds may make her : passage a little slower than the record She is almost sure to plow through on near to schedule time. When a man goes up in a balloon, with a circular bag, a dirigible, or an. aeroplane, the winds of the air are his all-concerning problem. Take the man in the circu lar balloon or aerostat, if the wind is toward the west, why west he goes un iess he can find another current. whether or not in that direction lies a body of water where a landing means sure death or a very narrow escape. if on the other hand, when the four funneled. twenty-seven-knot steamship got outside Sandy Hook, it were sure to find a current, Itself going at twen-ty-seven knots, which would land it near Southampton, it would mean that to Europm two days would be an catablished fact and that the ocean would do most of the work for which the stokers now get credit. If the man in the ship of the air can find perfected ship of the air has that much advantage over me peneciea sup ox the water. The wind has been one of the great est causes that have retarded the navi gation of the air. When the air nip is perfected, and Jules Verne is justi fled, the winds which have kept back the fulfilment of the narrator's' proph ecy nill be the very elements which will make aerial travel superior to crossing the land in trains or the sea in ships. The current which In the sea would take the steamship from New York to Liverpool in two days waits in- the air for man to use. Al ready the man in the spherical balloon with his tiny basket dangling beneath it has made use of this current-only partial use because he has to submit himself entirely to it but when man brings forth the airship that can- suc cessfully combat the wind and that can stay up until its pilot wants It to come down, the wind will do easily and noislessly what is now done by the soft coal and the stoker with much black smoke and sweat.

LODGE HQ WARNED Faker Now Working This Part Of the Country With Smooth Graft. VICTIMS IN WINCHESTER Local members of secret orders are warned against a professional grafter and im poster who Is at work in this part of the state. He wears K. of P., Masonic and I. O. O. F. buttons. He has been playing his game with suc cess in a number of neighboring towns. The last heard of the man was at Winchester where he dropped into the place and after calling upon the easys. made a few high signs, and proceeded to borrow money in small amounts. He was no respector of per sons and touched K. of P.'s. Masons and Odd Fellows alike, being versed in the signs and grips of all three orders. Having secured a pretty good stake he got out of the place. When the men got to discussing the fellow and his methods it was learned that he had told every man a different story concerning himself. Then it dawned upon the Winchester men that they had been "stung" and pretty deeply at that. If he has not yet arrived in Rich mond it would be well to be loaded for him, or any other man that tries to work the game, as these fellows usually go in pairs, one prompting the other by first entering the city and getting a lot of data, names, etc.. wtih which he acquaints his pal, who can then work his graft easier, knows who to tackle with best results, etc. Most of the lodge grafters are fel lows who have once been members but have been dropped for non-payment of dues, etc. With the knowledge at hand they start to "grafting, but sooner or' later are trapped and sent to prison.
