Some Rambling Thoughts.


/ reckon that intensity OF love for
ones country has always been most
noteworthy among populations that
have inhabited one region for ages.
The 'srocks and rills- OF such land
all become, in time the scenes of
events that make them precious, and
the hillsides cover the bones Of the
unnumbered dead, whose names are
still borne by the living. So tho
hearts Of the people strike their roots
into the soil, and become part of it,
as even with the Greenlanders, whose
dreary coasts hold the feelings of the
inhabitants in such thrall, that alb
sence means agony,-even death.

From CrinnIe Greek.

After the big fire in Cripple Creek,
! took a severe cold and tried many
remedies without help, the cold only
becoming more settled. After using
three small bottles of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, both the cough and
cold left me, and in this high altitude
1t takes meritorious cough remedy
to do any good.-G. b. Henderson, ed

A Good Law,

The trespass law is now scorch-
er. Persons hunting or fishing will
act discreetly by securing permission
of owners before they go upon their
premises for that purpose. You
will think SO If You have no money

Bill No. la, prevents persons from
shooting, hunting or fishing on any
enclosed premises without the own
er's consent. II he disobeys he for
feits $3 to the owner and may be put
under 800 bond for his good be-
havior one year Failing to get Sc
curity, the offender must go to jail
for year. The county court may
make this law applicable to all lands
or to those whose owners so desire.

More Troub.e at Unieutown.

Uniontown is no jay settlement.
Before she was big enough to sit alone
and take notice, measuring her age as
a mother measures the age of a baby,
Uniontown was town of Importance
on the National pike. From that day
to this she has kept her gait, and al
though the pike has fallen into ad-
yanced senility, Uniontown took on
railroad manner when the pike ceased
to hustle, and so the town has been
up-to-date ever since the dates have
been kept on it. They smoked tobies
over on the pike SO long ago that
tobies were called stogas, and the
wagon-lnen chewed plug tobacco and
drank Fayette county beverages so
many years that the Uniontown man
going to Deadwood or Cripple Creek
would be out Of the tenderfoot class
in a week. They played draw poker
IN Unfontown in manner calculated to
win admiration and coin, and are 9TH
erwise accomplished.
Nevertheless, Uniontown has trou-
bles, and they all come of a surfeit of
tramps and hoboes. The Uniontown
man has been reared on mountain air
and with every breath has imbibed a
love of freedom and a sense of courage.
He has never hesitated to walk abroad
at night any more than he has scared
at bobtailed flush. And that's what
irritates him. Since the hoboes began
to swarm around the settlement it is
becoming so common to hold up few
people at night that the Uniontown
man feels his rights infringed upon.
There is no pleasure in stopping to
talk few minutes at midnight with
brace of tramps and giving them
your loose change in return for their
society. The Uniontown man protests.
He is hotter than when he lays down
three kings and sees a full house on the
other side of the table. And can you
blame him? A tramp is not valua-
Bile adjunct to progressive commune

l reckon also, it is easy of proof
that the ancient people most firmly
knit together in one, were those whose
precarious existence was continued on
ly by vigilance and conflict. need not
hesitate to cite the Spartans, since the
mind OF each we'll informed reader
will at once recall the hardening and
unifying experience OF that little ma
tion, whose members preferred to per-
ish together, rather than to live sepa-
rated. Similar proof is given by
Rome in its early days, when it was
being prepared by most strenuous
experience for the conquest of the
world. National trials largely ac-
count for national strength.

Because some, even many, stations
have reached their highest civilization
by means of continuous battles and
because the redOlence Of human blood
is not on every page Of our history
there are not wanting those who can
foresec no bright future for us, or
dained, as We are, to isolation and
peaceful development. They fear that
our civilization will come tumbling
around our ears some day because
there Is no over-mastering call to
arms and to the subjugation of self
that war entails. The fear is not i'll
founded, neither is it unanswerable.
The attempt will be made in this
column to show that 'speace hath its
victories" and quietude its problems;
that there are calls sharp and decisive,
away from selflshness, and that
whether the answer of our nation is
to be satisfactory to all demands
placed upon it, depends on the young
people Of the present day.

Furthermore, the nearer people
come to telling the deeds of heroes by
word OF mouths did Homer, the
Old Testament worthless, and the
bards when books were few-the easier
is 1t to keep alive the flames of hate,
or the willing surrender of self to pa
triotic duty. When the flashing eyes
of the father accentuate the story OF
his own deeds that he is pouring into
the child's soul or when the ssmother-
knee" instruction tells why the child's
father fought and died, then the
father becomes to him "a living epis-
tie, and his ancestors, "a cloud of
witnesses"

Where are we now? Approaching
the home land When long residence
in one place, perpetual state of con-
f1ict, and the handing down of war
traditions by the fathers are found to
be strong inducements to patriotism,
what hope is there for our country?
In 100 years, or, in other words, since
the fathers Of living aged men were
boys, our population has grown from
something over 1000, 900 to over TO-
100000. OF these 1000, 900 have
come from abroad since 1920, and the
offspring of these fecund immigrants,
who can number. Our swarming
and restless population, ever moving
forward into virgin territory, has
made the area of the United States
increase from 1926, 900 square miles in
1776 to over 5000, 600 square miles in
1897. Our people of New England
Notwithstanding the remarkable his
tory of the settlement of that region,
in many cases gathered their belong
ings together and settled along the
southern boundaries of the Great
Lakes and beyond. The group of
Southern States with Virginia as
centre scattered their children North,
South, East and West, breaking up
almost entirely the ties of location.
As a consequence of this mixing and
moving and changing of inhabitants,
it Is practically impossible to find in
America the never-dying affection for
places that characterizes more stable
Compared with older
nations in Europe, we are but new
born infants. For instance, Buda

Bulwarked by oceans, free from Eu-
ropean entanglements, placed apart by
the fiat of the Almighty whose will
set our bounds, the millions of this
country, without known possible in
vader are beckoned forward into new
century. A nation whose population
increases by leaps and bounds; is be-
ing subjected to none of the concen-
tration that comes from attack and is
realizing none of its benefits. We have
more Of subjugated territory behind
us than of slain people, and the wars
in our history are as nothing to the
bulk of our population. What of mil
itary glory have we to start the blood
of the modern boy tingling within
him? The Revolution is a mere
shadow to our myriad new corners: the
war Of 1912 even more so, except for
Perryl the Mexican war one of more
extension; the Rebellion, a battle be-
tween brothers to have been forgiven
as soon as ended, If Lincoln had lived.
Even admitting that the Titanic
struggle was thrilling, what meaning
has it for the twelve million emigrants
who have landed and multiplied since
then? Our heroes are mere names to
them, and the point at issue some
thing they have never seen. The boy
of other lands can know that the
blood OF his kinsmen has wet the
earth to keep inviolate from conquest
the spot ON which he stands. Thrilled
by their deeds he can swear to dare
what they have dared and can sancti-
fly himself to the task left by them.
But our boys father may not SO much
as know the smatterings of our Ian
guage, and probably may understand
still less of our history. The average
American is therefore entirely depriv-
ed of personal touch with warriors who
have fought for 'sHome and Native
Land" What he learns of warfare
and our country's battle must be from
the unimpassioned pages of school
histories.

THE aNNrXATION OF HAWAII.

Tho announcement that a Treaty for
the annexation of Hawaii has been re-
pleated and is about to be submitted to
the senate for ratification will be n great
surprise TO the country. The thing has
been done surreptitiously and so secretly
