Independence Day Tomorrow is Independence Day. It will be celebrated here and elsewhere on a greater scale than ever before. Why stop the hum of industry, the bustle of commerce, the routine of our daily life? Why march in long procession, with flags waving and martial music playing? Is not every day Independence Day in America ? Night and day alternate in stated occurence. The sun shines and the stars blink on high. The honeysuckle blooms, the birds sing, the harvest is ripening in our fields. We note no change in the immutable laws of nature. And so with independence. We enjoy its beneficent effects. It is with us day and night. Under its benign sway we are happy and prosperous in summer and winter. Why interrupt us in our pursuits to celebrate the day and listen to the appeal of orator and musician? Why celebrate that priceless possession which is ours? True, independence is ours. But it is ours by virtue of the blood of our fathers. Independence was not obtained by listless ease. It came through the heroic courage of men who braved shot and shell to win it. If independence is to remain ours, we must fight to maintain it. Independence will dwell in the American republic only so long as we have the manhood and verility to keep it there. If the price of liberty is eternal vigilance, surely the people of this republic never had greater cause to be on guard day and night than at this moment when despotism threatens the freedom of the world. The imminence and menace of this highly efficient despotism provokes the elaborate scale of our celebration of Independence Day this year. Our independence and the independence of all freemen is jeopardized today. Tyranny and Liberty are in the throes of a gigantic struggle upon whose outcome depends the future happiness of mankind. If tyranny conquers all the world will be shackled and bound. If liberty wins all mankind will be assured peace and happiness. Independence day sees liberty calling her sons to duty. The call has gone out throughout the world. America, the highest type of an independent people living under a republic of their own making, must give proof of her belief in independence and freedom. On this day we must again renew the oath of our allegiance to the cause of liberty. Hence, the gigantic outpouring of the people, the pretentious parades, the large assemblies of citizens eagerly listening to the presentation of the principles of democracy. It took the American people many months to see that their independence was jeapordized by the hordes that treacherously poured over the Belgian frontier in violation of a sacred compact. Week followed week before we understood that Germany was warring against the principles of government on which our republic rests and that she was subverting the laws of civilization and humanity to gain her ends.

Now we know that our independence, the republic of a Washington and a Lincoln, will stand or fall with the outcome of the gigantic battle for freedom 'which is being waged on the soil of Flanders and France. Now we know that we must fight for our independence, fight as manfully and desperately as did our forefathers when they first gained the boon which we prize so highly. And so, as we parade with banner proudly floating, with souls keyed high, with patriotism and emotion animating our spirits, we are fixing, solidifying and confirming our determination to prove worthy descendants of the men and women who gained our independence. It is our bounden duty to defend that heritage. To that end we are dedicating our lives. This issue has been before us squarely for more than a year. As individual members of this republic we stand united in the cause. We know not the lineage of our fathers, the place of their birth, the flag under which they were born. We know only that we are Americans, that we have only one title Americans. We know only one allegiance, one flag, one country America. As citizens of that republic we are giving our money and our sons for the cause of independence.

Increased Railroad Rates Help Local ' Merchants It is an ill wind that blows no one good, says an old proverb. The truth of the observation may be seen in the advantage accruing to local merchants from an increase in the passenger rates charged by railroads and interurbans. Shopping points that are seventy-five miles away no longer have the lure for persons who spend their money outside of Richmond that they had a few months ago when the railroad fares were cheaper. A marked decrease in local traffic has been noticeable on eastern lines that carry passengers from points thirty or fifty miles distant from big cities. Reports from the eastern cities show that the business of the shopkeepers in the small towns has increased since the new railroad fare schedule was put into effect. In former years they complained bitterly that too many persons left their home towns to shop in large cities, thereby depriving them of a source of revenue to which they believed themselves entitled. Richmond merchants had the same problem to contend with. Indianapolis and Cincinnati made a strong bid for Richmond trade, and hundreds of persons made substantial purchases in the city. This was due to low railroad fares. Shoppers got into the habit of going to these cities at stated times, spending considerable amounts of money for dresses and other articles of apparel that could have been purchased at home just as well. Owners of stores in Richmond should benefit by the new rate schedule, for it removes one of the inducements to trade away from home.

F

Stand by the Flag From "The Man Without a Country," by Edward Everett

Hale.

OR your country, boy. and for that flas:. never

dream a dream but of serving her as she bids you,

though that service carries you through a thous

nnd terrors. No matter what happens to you, no matter who flatters you or abuses you, never look at another flag; never let a night pass but you pray God to bless that flag. Remember, boy, that behind all these men you have to deal with, behind officers and government, and people even, thece is the country itself; your country, and that you belong to her as you belong to your own mother. Stand by her, boy, as you would stand by your mother."

For some reason the Sunday school

class had become Interested in Methuselah. At their urgent request the teacher related all the authentic in

formation recorded In the Bible about

that amazing man, also various anesdotes gleaned from less reliable

sources. In conclusion, she said:

"Now, Is that all? Are there any further questions you would like to

ask about Methuselah?"

"I'd like to know," said themost in

terested youngster of the lot, "where all his birthday presents are buried?"

A Frenchman was waiting at a rail

road station In Ireland when a couple

of natives sat down beside him.

Said one: "Sure, Pat, It's down to

Kilmary I've been, and I'm on me way back to Kllpatrick." "Ye don't say so," said the other. "It's mesself that's just after being down to Kilkenny, and I stop here & bit before I go to Kllmor." "What assassins!" exclaimed the Frenchman. "Would that I were safely back in France!"

Moment

A TYPICAL ADDRESS BY YOU KNOW WHO . AtlllA the Hun was a poor, lnefflci-

ent old scout without the refinement of cruelty. No efficlqpicy. Today we would call him a pacifist without even the fist. Frederick the Great was not so much. Did he use any chlorine gas or flame throwers? How many cathe

drals did he wreck every day?

My old grandpa, Wilhelm I , was a

tiresome old bore. He didn't know the first rudiments of polite cruelty, and

as a baby murderer he was an awful

fizzle.

Bismarck ach! Bismarck. He was

a twospot that I had to tie a can to.

All old fogies, old fogies. '

Then look at me. Have I,not shown them all a thing or two? Look what

my efficiency has done. Efficiency

has been a great thing for Germany

In three months it caused us to lose all our colonies and our world trade.

Now we don't have to worry about

them any more, and can devote all our

time to killing the women and chil dren and wounded. Forward mit Gott!

When they want to have a reunion of the Hohenzollern family, a regiment of sappers and miners is sent out to

dig them up.

Louis F. Swift (left) and Ogden Armour. 'Uncle Sam thinks he has found one of the causes of the tremendously high cost of meat. It is in the immense profits reaped by the packers. According to the federal trade" commission, in 1916 Ogden Armour's company made, so much money that it was able to give its stockholders $80,000,000 in additional stock, raising1 the capitalization from $20,000,000 to $100,000,000. In that same year the Armour company was able to pay dividends of 14.6 per cent. In 1917 the Armour company paid a dividend of 27.1 per cent on the vastly increased capital stock. Louis F. Swift's company also capitalized what the commission calls "surplus accumulated from excessive profits," and in 1917 paid a dividend of 47.2 per cent.

It la conservatively estimated that over three million people anunlly nre taklncr It In thla country lone. It has been highly endorsed and used by such men as Hon. Leslie M.

Clem (Retired), the drummer boy of Shiloh, who was Sergeant in the U. S. Army when only twelve years of age; General David Stuart Gordon (Retired), hero of the batt.J of Gettysburg; physicians who have been connected with well-known hospitals have prescribed and recommended it. Former Health Commissioner Wm. R. Kerr, of Cchicago, says it ought to be used in every hospital and crescribed by every physician. Ur. A. J. Newman, late Police Surgeon of the City of Chicago, and former House Surgeon Jefferson Park Hospital, Chicago, says Nuxated Iron has proven through his own tests of it to excel any preparation he has ever used for creating red blood, building up the nerves, strengthening the muscles and correcting digestive disorders. Dr. James Francis Sullivan, formerly physician of Bellevue Hospital (Outdoor Dept.), New York, and the Westchester County Hospital says there are thousands of men and women who seed a strength and blood builder but do not know what to take. In his opinion there is nothing better than organic iron Kuxated Iron for enriching the blood and helping to increase the strength and endurance of men and women who burn up too rapidly their nervous energy in the strenuous train of the great business competition of the day. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of Nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test ytur strength again and see how much you have gained.
