Without that effort our national holiday would have continued to be a day of slaughter, suffering and destruction. With it we are in a fair way to make it one of the sa'est as well as sanest days of the year. The plan of campaign has rivaled not only education In rational observance of the anniversary of the declaration of independence but the enactment of laws prohibiting the manufacture, t-.ile and use of explosives. The influence exrtd by the educa tional campaign has brought adults i to a realization of the horrors of the character of celebration into which the American people had fallen aitd their influence in turn "lias diverted the minds of the youn from the barbarous customs of the past. Americans, old and young, art beginning to understand that outside of the question of safety the rVj.urth of July is a much more enjoyable day without firecrackers, bombs, cannons and rockets. It will cot; tribute to the peace of mind of the people to feel that henceforth from year to year there will be less and less of disturbing sounds and distressing screams and that on the nation's birthday they need have no mor? anxiety on behalf of their child ren than on anv other dav.

No topic of the moment has been more widely discussed than the proposed sale of two American warships to (Ireece. The incident was pounced upon by enemies of the administration; as an act provocative of war and ! sharply criticised as being out of aecord with Pres. Wilson's peace policy. To this it was replied that the sale of the two seafighters to ireece would serve as a preventive of war since it would give the Grecian navy a strength that would command the lespect of the Turks and make them snore cautious about opening hostilities. This view of the question is supported by the New York Athena, a Greek newspaper, which says: "Greece was in a position to strike before she acquired these battleships. Being stronger, there was nothing to preent her, except the desire for peace ami strong reasons for avoiding war just at this time. On the other hand, Turkey's war fever, inflamed by the thought that the nay of Greece would be considerably weaker should Turkey's new dreadnoughts arrive beforo any Greek reinforcements, will be cooled by this purchase. Tru president of the United States was right in saying that by this art a third war in the Balkans may be avoided." Besides, it is the practice of larger nations to sell their discarded naval esscls to smaller countries, and the j question as to whether they w ere to j be used fr war or pleasure boats was ; not raised. The opposition simply took j advantage rf an opportunity to criti else the administration and counteract as far as possible the faxoraMe effects of a good trade. From the proceeds of the sale of the Idaho and Mississippi, for which the cost price is to be received, the gmernment will build an uptodate dreadnought and further the ends of peace to the extent ' of strengthening the American navy, j This style of cntuim represents j the fale patriot. ;m referred to by the ! president in his independence day j fpeech. ' i 1WTKK TISM AND HI'MM Pre. Wil-.m gave us no r. definition iif patriotism in bis l-urth of July addi 5L"'ni re is no new interpretation to give. There s only one kind of patriotism. Everything else called by that name is something difIerent. The president was content to emphasize the old interpretation. The audience which assembled in front of Independent hall was told that patriotism is love of country and concern for its welfare, and not the penerslon of its powers for the benefit of a privileged class. The distinction drawn between true patriotism and the imitation which at present prevails so largely In this and other countries was timely. It had an ap-

I 'Ication to current events. It may

now if peace is restored there is no assurance of its continuance unless the grafting system ' is abolished. The United States is approaching a similar condition from the same cause. Big business Is reaping and dividing the spoils of perverted governmental power. Fortunately this country Is likely to be spared the revolution because there are true patriots who have the courage to disarm the evils whic'i menace the welfare of the American people and convert them into powers for good under the operation of law. Ours is a peaceful revolution as contradistinguished i'rom that in Mexico, yet nevertheless a revolution. We have patriots like the Morgans, the Rockefellers and lesser lights who ere for the government as long as they can use it for their own benefit, but against it when others are included, but they have not reached a point where they are not as amenable to the law as' other citizens. The laws for their control are now being enacted. They will be made strong enough to overcome the powerful resistance they will meet, and the men behind big business must become real patriots in spite of themselves. TIIK SIMl'Li: LIFK.

n v nu:i C. KKLLY. WASHINGTON. July 6. One of the penalties of being president of the United States is having a doctor constantly at one's heels. Father an army or a navy physician is assigned to stick around the white house and guard the president's health. The first thing Wood row Wilson does each morning when he comes downstairs is to let young Dr. Grayson have a look at his tongue. Sometimes he tven lets the doctor feel his pulse or put his ear to hit chest and listen to his heart tick. Obviously it must be an infernal nuisance to get up every morning knowing that as soon as one is dressed one must stick out one's tongue and let somebody look at it. Tongues are so much alike in their general contour that it Is not easy for one to feel any thrill of pride in such an exhibition. Even if one had a particularly clever design of tongue there would Jn time e a certain monotony in showing it morning after morning to the same person. Moreover, if there is any truth in the modern theories of mental suggestion it is a wonder the president has any health at all, with a doctor hanging around him all the time. The president comes downstairs feeling chipper and full of ginger, with never a thought of indigestion. Then the doctor looks at his tongue and frowns. Immediately the president is likely to begin feeling sorry for himself. Pres. Wilson, however, Is greatly attached to Dr. Grayson, and likes to have him along with him. Almost any day one may read in the papers: "In the afternoon the president went out for a game of golf with Dr. Grayson." Or. "Accompanied by Dr. Grayson, the president went for an automobile ride." Within a short time after he became president, -Mr. Wilson made Dr. Grayson his main companion. But ho likes to have him around not because he is n. doctor so much as in spite of the fact that he is a doctor. The real reason for the president's attachment to Dr. Grayson lies In the fact that the doctor has little to say, and usually does not talk until talked to. lie has the gift of silence. Pres. Wilson is a long way from being an unsociable man, and he likes pollto conversation as well as anybody. But after working hard until the middle of the afternoon at being the "Big Chief" of the nation, the president likes to sit back quietly In his auto without the need of using up any further energy In providing small talk for his companion. He may desire to talk a good deal, but he prefers to take the initiative in the matter himself. in this connection one may remark that the president has a knack at dropping off to sleep in an automobile, lie may be riding along viewing the scenery and as wide awake as anybody. But if it occurs to him that he would like to get a little sleep out of his system he can shut his eyes and lose consciousness almost before one could say Jack Johnson. Dr. Grayson, whom we have just been discussing, looks much less like a physician than one would expect. One unconsciously pictures a man who ministers to the health of a president as wearing a Van Dyke beard, an abdomen, and two different kinds of eye glasses. Grayson has none of these things. He Is below average height, of rather slight build, smooth-faced and with the earnest expression of an accountant or a teller in a bank rather than a physician. Up in Minnesota dwelt an old man who had a great deal of money that he wa extremely reluctant about spending. He also had two charming and vivacious daughters who worried constantly because they were missing a heap of fun that could have fallen to their lot if father had been willing to loosen up. One of the foremost ambitions of these daughters was to make a journey abroad, and they well knew that the cost would not put even a noticeable dent in papa's pile,. They coaxed and coaxed, but he failed to catch their enthusiasm over the project. He said it would not only take much money, but would be a tiresome thing to go through, and that they were all vastly better off at home. In desperation the girls one day confided their troubles to Sen. Moses K. Clapp. whom they had known for some time. They believed that a man of Clapp's resourcefulness and sagacity would be able to think of a way. And he did. "Even time there is a moving picture exhibition here of travel scenes." suggested Clapp, "take your father to it, and in a little while he'll become so interested that ho will desire to visit those foreign .places and take you along." They trid it and In the next few months father had a glimpse of pretty much everything from the banks of the Nile to the fjords of Norway. When the time seemed to be ripe ore of the girls suggested: "My! wouldn't you like to visit all those wonderful countries' abroad''' "Should say not!" replied father. "Wouldn't I be a mutt now to spend my money to go to Europe when I've seen It all in the moying pictures?" Copyright. 1914, bv Fred C. Kelly.

President Lines up Right in Fight to Save Water Power

UV GILSON GAKDNEK. WASHINGTON, July '..President Wilson has lined up on the right side in the matter of the conservation of water power. Acting on his explicit orders the Adamson bill Is to be entirely redrafted in accordance with the ideas of Secretaries Lane and Houston. The Adamson bill was put forward by a combination of reactionary democrats and republicans, representing the water power interests, and with the encouragement of Underwood they expected to put over a bill which was entirely in the interest of the hydro-electric trust. Lane and Houston came to the rescue of Congressman Kent, Lenroot, and others who have led the fight for the conservationists. President Wilson says that business was not discussed in his visit with J. P. Morgan. The president's statement is opposed to most of the articles which were published on this subject in the daily press. Consideration cf tho trust program in the senate will consist largely in an attempt to add to the house bill what are known as the Stevens amendments. These were formulated by Representative R. B. Stevens of New Hampshire, a progressive democrat, and they embody the ideas ofLouis Brandeis, with regard to providing that the federal trade commission shall have power to investigate and forbid unfair competitive practices. The so-called labor exemption amendments will also be fully considered and there will be debate on the question whether they really exempt or only seem to exempt labor, and whether they really give workmen tho right to picket, organize, strike .and boycott. A few months ago your correspondent was the object of an attack by the chairman of the rules committee of the senate, Senator Overman of North Carolina, who endeavored to secure action by the standing committee of the press gallery to exempt him from the privileges of the gallery. Now the senator is the object of a special inquiry by the senate, charged with misusing his senatorial office to boom a more or less questionable mining proposition in his state. The use of the stationery of the rules committee and of committee rooms in the eapitol, together with the sale of the gold mining stock to senators and employes of the senate are the substance of the charges. This is the kind of senators who do not like men in the gallerj' who are free to cy, of which he boasted o loudb" before the Underwood tariff bill was thought of, and of the existence of which he was beset by so many fears when that same bill was drafted and passed, exists after all. Under the Underwood tariff, only a lack of efficiency can prevent the American manufacturer, with the added advantage of free raw material, from having the best of it in his home market in competition with the foreign manufacturer, who has to reckon with the handicaps of transportation charges and the cost of revenue duties. Ixmisville Times. THE MAIN CHANCE. Who says "there's no chance for the boy "without a pull?" In tlie great Pennsylvania railroad system there is a corps of 170 ranking officers big men in big Jobs. Out of this 170, 163 (including the president) started at the bottom. Not near "the bottom". At "the bottom". Some of them were otlice boys. Some of them were water boys.

Genius and loyalty and capacity and preparedness are their own blessed reward.

tell what Is going on in the United states senate. Bearing on the question as to when prosperity is to return and why business Is not booming the weekly review of J. S. Bache & Co., New York bankers, describes the business situation as follows: "We are passing through the dullest times in business that we have experienced in years. That there is no glaring evidence of this is due to the fact that we have come to this condition gradually and not by the usual step of panic. Instead of falling over the precipice as we generally do in America, as the result of an explosion, we have climbed gradually down the side of the cliff, supporting ourselves on the way down by clinging to overhanging shrubs of Hope until we are near the bottom of the valley, arriving without many accidents and contusions on the way down. This has taken some years, during which the hand-to-mouth character of business has more or less gradually been forced upon us by the absence of enterprise on the part of anybody." With the adjournment of the mediators at Niagara Falls, it is evident that the administration has accomplished its main purpose, which was delay. The final settlement of the Mexican problem will occur when Villa and Carranza take Mexico City and the only important mediation will probably be between Huerta representatives and borne representatives of the constitutionalists who may arrange terms for Iluerta's surrender of the Mexican capital, When Bret Harte was doing newspaper work in California they had an earthquake, and the following paragraph written by him then indicates that the local attitude toward earthquakes, volcanos, etc., was much the same then that it is today. Nothing Is a detriment to California in the mind of the native Californian. Said Bret Harte: "Much has been written about the lesson of this earthquake. Judging from the dally journals, it seems to have beeh complimentary to San Francisco. In fact, it has been suggested that, with a little more care and preparation on our part the earth quake would have been very badly damaged in the encounter. It is well, perhaps, that nature should know the limitatiors of her strength on this coast ,ajd it is equally well that we should put a cheerful face upon our troubles, but the truth is sometimes even more politic."
