JULY 4, 1922

146 YEARS OLD. This country todny celebrates tho anniversary of It's b!rth. At prize fghts and picnics, excursions and entertainment, ball games ant golf, auto rides and aquatic eports, the grat American people will give vnt to their thar.kfulr.esa that 145 years ago a ( rou; of men. ready to die If need be. affixed their s:zn;iture s to a flommf-nt declaring themselves free of obligation to a British king. Thor who take a surface view may lament the. fact that this grat holiday Is given over to pugUlsm find play. Thre will be thoe who deplore the fact that r long-T do people gather to listen or avoid thei speeches of consT'STnen and prominent citizens v.ho relate the story of a nation's birth and add h:r vrl al garlands to the glory of the Signers. The ir.en who put Into written word tho aspirations of their neighbors had In their heart3 the finale thought that man has the right to rule his own life, to direct his own destiny and that all government must have as Its basis tho consent of tho governed. This day s glorious In hl-story only because men had reach I that cVar discernment of human rights where they were ready to die rather than to bo slaves to any form of autocracy. This day Is celebrated because It marked this ml .tone In history that man had reached a stage of pelf respect where he was no longer fooled by theories of divine right of kings or the power vf princely rriviletro to rule others. Th real tribute to these pioneers In liberty Is the adherence to their Ideal and the courage to maintain that attitude of life which bends no knee In servile homage tr autocratic power, whether that power bo fymbolized by thrones and crown, a bank itccount or military rank. The cheering crowd at a fight arena, if they stand lvel with all others and dare to look every i.ther man eye to rye, pay their trlbuto to the courageous founders of a nation. The g-ay picnickers. Intent upon a day of pleasure, pay their homage to the first bravo soul If they keep In their hearts and minds the belief that there is an equality of right which Is their mallenable heritage. This nation, after all, is not a gathering of states, rot a Kroup of individuals, but an Ideal. It exists only as the great principle of government "by consent of the governed Is more precious tj the- heart of citizens than their material posreslons. It dies when onn smallest Infringement upon that r.'ght is permitted, no matter what subtle Influence r.ay try to take it away. The nation has changed Its character many times und often since the men who signed their names to the rarchmcn; of their faith, met 146 years ago today. But the Ideal of the nation has not changed and cannot change. Wnrhinton, who became the Father of His Country through his leadership, was a slave owner. Beccntly it was written Into the Congressional Record that he had traded a slave for a barrel of rum. That takes nothing away from the fame or the reverence wh'.cli Is his due. If ti-uc. and it is probably true, that act was but the nTvtsurc of the morals and of the ethics ol his d y . The 1 is thing was that "Washington and the othirs had in their hearts the great courage that made them prize liberty more than life, that made them cherish equality of rights above their slaves, their vast estate?, their private fortunes. So that It really doesn't matter ho-w you spend today If you keep that pure light of liberty In your heirt. Fifty years or a hundred yeans from now some Iconoclastic fenator or legislator may arise and point the finger of scorn at some of the thing's now done by the leaders of today. He may record, for the amazement of the men and women of that hour, that presidents sat Idle while millions of men went on strike, that supreme court Judges blandly set a.! de laws designed to curb the exploitations of children, that governors of states permitted boys of 12 to be Imprisoned for life as penalties for crime. Ar.d if he doe?, he will do It because of the fact that the men and women of today kept faith "with themselves by cherishing the foundation of liberty ar.d self government and permitted civilization to v'rope Its way to those hierher leve'. where hate, rrel ar.d selfishness are unknown. Birthdays are Important only to the living. Be glad today that the thinr which was born 148 years r.go was not a eystem of government but a deathless ideal, and that It rtill lives.

WAR RES IS HOME.

Not the president but "Warren" goes back to the city of Marien today and mingles among his old friends. He will be proudly welcomed by those who have known him for years as "Warren", the plain citizen who waa good neighbor, a rood citizen, and i most pleasant and companionable man. Town deep In their heart they will look with more prldo urea the fact that last week he took tm to write a letter to a Pennsylvania Judge askIrg him to spire the life of a dog than they will everary accomplishments cf diplomacy or legislation that phows heart. Ter It 1 In this field of hum.r.ity. of ordlrutrr thir.gs cf life, of big heartedness that they know h;m ht. They will excus the acts of Daugherty, his attorney ger.ral, and will not be dismayed at Marlon tf-cause hia chief legal advisor has been exposed as th lauyer for a rich federal prisoner. They may feci sorry that Dougherty still cllnrs to his Job in the face of srar.dM and that he continues to run h's ofTlce from the standpoint of the rractic&l politician, for they understand Warren r.r.d will feel td that h-s friendship has been Imposed upon. 'Back home, tco, they will rrapathlte with his

policy on the tariff for they know thit his mind has always lr.rJlr.--d towards the reactionary policies. Back homo they v r,ni blame him for the vast vpheaval whi h has orurrd in Ms own party or the repeated defeat? of th' candidates whom he his supported. Tliey will foci f-orry for him. heraus. they Ilk Mm. They may iarr.ent but they wilt not blame.

They r.uy critic i-e b

:t ti.ev will no censure.

On his hörn vi it. ho appears at hi- very be.,t. He fits into the picture perfectly, so perfectly that It Is fast becoming a n atter nf wide regret that he ever left the p.am, thrt o,i!et. the friendly smiles cf Marlon for tasks that hat brought so little satisfaction, either to himself or to the nation.

---o---

SWARMS OE PEOPLE. You see housea spring up on vacant lots In the cltj and you comment: "Property Is building up solid. I wonder ho-.v far this congestion will go Pretty soon, we ll be parked In like sardines." The popular notion about civilized congestion is exaggerated. We are getting the houses rioter together, but living quarters are not as congested now as they were 72 years ago. Striking an avtrago, the census bureau finds five persons to each dwelling. In 1SÖ0 the average homo had six occupants. It Is probable, too. that the average home Is larger now than in 18ön. They had many mig mansions In those days but a great many more small homes, Including log cabins In which kitchen, dining and living rooms were combined in one. We moderns take a larger floor-space, partition It off Into a greater number of rooms. We observe the 8maIlno5 of each room and get the notion that we are headed toward an existence p piano boxes. You see a man build his home on a small piece cf property in the congested district, in preference to a larger property farther out, where the cost n Ight be lower, certainly would not be higher. If you are In a philosophical frame of mind, you p(e that human beings have a pwarmlng Instinct like bees, ants, schools of fish and herds of caribou. Fear L back of this swarming Instinct. Men first banded together In a community for mutual protection against wUd beasts. Later It was for protection against other communities of men. It was discovered that it was easier to build a wall or stockade around a village cf 1000 people than to build Individual walls or stockades around each of 1000 separate dwellings. The swarming Instinct, a form of fear, started civilization. Banded together, men discovered that each had a natural knack for some one task. Specialization follow "tl, then barter the primitive form of business. Misery loves company. So does Joy. The swarming Instinct crors out Inevitably In everything worth while, also everything futile. Let half a dozen pedestrians pause to Inspect an unusual auto parked at a curb, and the crowd grows like flies around sugar. The chief reason for such swarming Is the monkey instinct of Imitation. We talk a lot about being Individuals, but ready at all times on nearly every tongue-tip Is, "Come on. Join the crowd." Th'.re Is no great lesson to be learned from studying the human swarming instinct. It Is Just one of the peculiar natural laws that cannot be altered by philosophy part of the "destiny that fhapes our ends, rough-hew them how we may."

THE NEXT STEP. Tlie labor board has Issued an' order outlawing the labor organizations which struck against Its wage reductions. It tells the workers that they may organize bt that their unions must obey the edicts of the. government machinery and that the refusal to accept the wage has automatically branded their present leadership as unfit. Public sentiment will applaud their order If the board takes the next logical step. That ftep 5hould be the demand for resignations of every president and board of directors which has refused to obey the second part of the railway order. When tho board cut wages, it also issued an order to the railway owners tc eliminate the contract system of repairing cars and engines. That system of giving private contract to a company which In reality was composed. In most instances, of officers of the road was devised to escape regulation. One of tho cause which led to tho strike was this contract system and that it Is vicious la evidenced by tho demand of the labor board that It be abolished. If the workers are to be outlawed It might seem logical that the ownership of the road which refuses to obey the decision of tho bonrd suffe- the Mine penalty. Possibly new leadership In unions and new leadership in ownership may protect the public from the penalties of strikes. But Just how ?oon do you expect this board to demand euch leadership of dollars as will be law abiding? c YOUR POCKETBOOK. Even In hot weather you are interested In money how to get more dollars, how to get more out of each dollar. It costs' you $135 now to buy what cost $100 In July, 1914. This Is the latest report of the National Industrial Conference Board, which figures that a wage-earner's cost of living Is 55 per cent higher than pre-war. Some things have dropped In price more than others. The board, striking an average for the whole country, finds that prices are above jre-war In these percentages: food shelter 65, clothing 66, fuel and lighting 74 and sundries or incidentals 74 p?r cent. Tou note that prices are out of balance. There's no equilibrium. That's why business revival Is coming faster In some Industries than others. It's like a watch with each wheel going at a different speed, the wholo tiling keeps -bad time." A fhotgun that costs 90 cents In Germany enters our country and i sold to a consumer for $15. A bird-cage eells for J 1.20 in Germany, crosses the ocean, and an American goes Into a store and pays $11 for It. These and similar case are observed by Senator Wa'wn of Indiana. , The buying power cf our dollar reems to vary with the parties that are doing th? buying, even making allowances for the costs of distribution. How about th German workman who produces these cheap products? He Is working for low wages living on the equivalent of 40 cents a day In American money, ryeordlr.g to Congressman Ira C. Copley, who recently has been touring Germany. You ponder all these facts, and are apt to come tc the logical conclusion that something 1 wrong with the system of money, since the dollar la like a yardstick that measures three feet in one place onl three Inches in another. Considering Its ruliar uncertain behavior. It' Is small wonder that money Is cs hard to catch, as a greased pig. Money is the most Imperfect of man' inventions.

South Bend, along with scores of souvenir po.nal cards, which they mail back home explaining how they caught this and that fish. The bulk of the time, these gentlemen spend on the veranda of the hotel where they aro stopping. a?d the following typical conversation ensue, when the ether two can get Fred Bryan to take his nose out of a book: MR. BRYAN "Well my idea in buying that there electric line and power plant in Michigan was to get some of these buzzards to fhake out of It and get electricity in their homes. There's) hundreds of homes up there still burning kerosene when they ought to be using electricity. I plan to educate them to the use of electricity, and then I'll send a man up with a horse and wagon to sell them electric washing machines, curling irons, toasters, vacuum ". MR.

.MR. ROBERTSON "Go?h. I wish I had the figures on today's sales." MR. BRYAN "I would like to know if Motorman No. 29 on the Bnton Harbor line got sobered up and started to work again this morning." MR. WHEELOCK" "I hope they didn't break many dishes today." And so, their conversation runs night after night. You pecplo ln ?outh Bend think these blokes up here aro fishing, but you're wrong as your faithful correspondent has shown you in this typical conversation he has here set forth. Your correspondent has got to

leave the hotel veranda now as the South Bend gents are closing up their conversation in preparation to going out and purchasing" their evening's supply of fish.

YOUR HEALTH

By Dr. R. S. Copeland

Many a man has been driven to ulclde and many a woman to a worso ate because of disappointment of one ort or another. An actress waits In the olfice of a manager for half a day or more and then is coldly told to call another day. Another employment agency is presided over by a cold and indifferent marvager who Is calloused to the tragedies of her office. She dismisses the s-eeker after a position with as carefree an air a that with which a street car conductor tells you to step Jlvely. Wo may say that this Is not an easy world, we may declare that everyone ought to be able to withstand life's hard knocks and march on with a smile, but the fact is that fomo persons aro unable to do th!.. Fuch persons are not neccssarly weaklings'. They may have once been stroryg enough to surmount all obstacles with ea.se. The shocks of adversity may have meant little to thorn In other day. Now. through the weakening of health from any one of many causes, they are mentally and physically sensitive to a degre carcely conceivable by the

normal man or woman. Take another type of individual those who are artists, writers, inventors, actors, all those who put forth extraordinary' efforts directed at the achievement of pome special ambition. The entire life of fuch a person may be focused upon the successful outcome of a single thrust at fame and fortune, or, at most, only a few efforts by which tho per5on must win or. lo?e everything. Unwise? Of course, it seems unwise to us. But the world would be poor indeed were it not for such as thce. What happens when the. door of

opportunity Ls suddenly shut In the face of such a person? I am Interested not merely because, my heart Is stirred by tht sufferings of the disappointed, but because the resulting despair be comes a health factor. Let the mind dwell on misery, or brood over creul treatment and sickness Is net far away. It is all to common to have a nervous broakdown follow a shock such as I have described. Then on top of the nervous trouble comes some form of fever, or. If the infecting' agcat arrives at the critical time, aome infectious disease. Resistance is lowered, and any active germ will make Its way into the body. Just as we guard against disease by removing tho causes of contagion, fo. It seems to me. we should do away with anything which may causo physical suffering and mental misery. If I were a great producer - of play., tho head of an employment agenry or the prc-siden of a corporation. I should Insist that the outer gato be guarded by a smiling :ird agreoaMe perron. It softens the blow- if the refu?al is made politeiy and with some appearance of reluctance. Every bureau of Information should be presided over by a person cf unfailing good-nature. Every telephone girl should strive to spread oil on tho waters of trouble by a kind word now and then. On such agreeable . person is In charge of my 'phone part of each day. She actually saj's "Ookd morning. Doctor!" This attitude toward life adds to the happiness, and confiovuently promote. the health of every one who corner In touch with her.
