Tomorrow will be Independence Day.
July is the natal day of the Republic. On
that day tfro ughout the land there is re-
joicing and noise, sometimes more noise
than rejoicing. Tho trouble is that too few
of the noise-prC ducers know why they
make the noise. This is natural fact,
due to the ebullition of animal spirits of
the younger generation, and as long as
there are boys there will be tons of powder
burned on Independence Day. True patriot
ism. however. does not depend upon ex-
pIcsives. 1t Is fostered by something more

1t Is intimated with truth by those en-
titled to the credit of beginning the crusade
against the ten-per-cent-a-month men that
proceedings which deprive a few usurers in
few instances of their usurious interest
without enabling the victims to borrow at
legal rates, have no permanent remedial eff
feet on the usury evil. The ten-per-center
calculates upon a certain percentage of
losses of this sort, and EFFORTS from those
who do pay more than enough to reimburse
him. The practical cure of usury Is to
provide loans to the victims at legal rates.
