to an attack on the Hawaiian mon
archs in the following paragraph
culled from the last issue:
The Star has been publishing a
series OF articles upon monarchy
and its institutions, and drawing it's
illustrations from the home OF mon
archy, Europe. 1t has not yet got
at picturing monarchy on the ISL
ands, because it seemed best to con-
slider monarchy from its greatest,
not from its most insignificant,
standpoint, but there might be some
amusing work TO be done in this
direction if it ever proves to be
worth while. Meanwhile the study
of European monarchy will continue.

it would be enormously troublesome

VOLUME VII, NUMBER /.

With this issue the HERALD
turns another mile stone and COM
mences its 9TH year. We point to
the fact with considerable pride, as
we pause for a moment to gaze up
on the newspaper tombstones that
are in view. Instead of sharing in
the general wreck, the HERALD has
each year found itself better able
to maintain its position.
Whatever of success the HERALD
has had in these years, we regard
as largely due to the fact that we
never went back on a friend nor
gave up our self-respect to an en-
envy. BY pursuing this course we
have gained some friends whom we
could always depend on to stand
by us through adversely as we'll as
prosperity. The fact that we have
always had such friends has been
of incalculable advantage of us.
There is only one thing in the
world that everybody knows how
to run and that is newspaper.
Given, then, one newspaper with
one editor in a community, it is
little wonder that it has its critics
among 80 many newspaper men
and womenl And for some people
to be your critic is thereby to be
your enemy. This feature is one
of the items that gives spice TO
newspaper life. But it is happy
thought here to note that some of
those with whom we have at times
had serious differences are now
warm friends. 1t is only the
selfish and narrow minded, with
evil designs upon the public, with
whom we are at war and ever will
be.
We sincerely appreciate the pat
ronage we are receiving.

spirit is temporarily blunted.
But the tide is turning in the
United States. These accesses of
greed and monopoly are only tenn
porary. The greater their brutal,
grasping advances, the greater the
recoil. The people rouse up; the
man for the occasion appears as
leader; the people again take pos
session of the government; right
and equality again rule. This has
been the history of the Republic
from the time of Washington, the
father of his country, down through
the years when it was rescued by
Jackson and saved by Lincoln.

PATRIOTISM AND LIBERTY
"Truth is Mighty and Must
Prevail"
HOME CELEBRATION
Bonner's Ferry people will lay dull care
aside and Undertake to enjoy a
good, old-fashioned 4th of July.

Before another issue of this paper
reaches its readers, the 121st ami
versary of American Independence
will have come and gone. And
while it will not be possible for All
to listen to the stirring strains of
patriotic music, nor the patriotic
eloquence of gifted orators in COM
memoration of the great event, yet
every man and woman in the land
should devote the day to patriotic
purposes.
On one day at least in the year self
interest should be laid aside
and thoughtful consideration given
to the condition of our country. We
should pause to gaze upon the Stars
and Stripes and while filled with
that reverential devotion that that
beautiful emblem inspires, ask our
selves sincerely, WHITTIER are we
drifting as a nation2n.
And one thought here: 1t is al
most beyond comprehension how
men can 60 to thessSals and east
away that birthright for which our
forefathers suffered, bled and died.
that they and we, their decendents,
might enjoy the full fruits Of this
fair fabric of government. It has
been said that this Indifference of
the voter will someday cause the
downfall of the government, by
permitting knaves to get control
This may be the view of the alarm
ist, but it is self evident that if the
individual citizen would take a
deeper draught at the wells of
patriatism before casting his ballot,
the results of our elections would
be for far more equality in the race
of life.
Patriotism seems at times to be
crushed out of nations. 1t is large
ly so in the United States at the
present time. The common pee
pie, the poor and lowly, have noted
the advance of greed and money.
They have seen gigantic corruption
funds raised to carry elections.
They have seen yoters, legislatures
and congresses bought up where
moral suasion would not avail.
They have witnessed the enact
ment of every law asked for by the
public plumbers while women and
children went cold and hungry
and men plead in vain for chance
to earn bread. Patriotism does not
thrive under such conditions. The

a Popular Teacher.

The possibility of losing Miss
Winterbottom as principal of our
public school aroused such interest
when it became known that the
matter eliminated in a petition to
the board of trustees in favor of
her retention.
Mrs. J. F. Cook, Jr., Mrs. NJ. w.
Crane and VIM. VanGasken were
selected by the leaders of the move
ment to circulate the petition.
The enthusiasm and universally
with which it was signed was not
unexpected by those who keep in
close touch with public sentiment
and who appreciate what the lady
has done for the school and what
she is capable of doing in the
future.
Officers are public servants to
carry out the wishes of their con
stituents. There can De no mis-
taking the wishes of the people in
this matter. We believe that it
will afford the majority of our
school board pleasure to give the
greatest satisfaction and, therefore,
that they will consider this petition
and reemploy Miss Winterbottom.

Louisiana is the fifth to accept Lees

Old Glory at st. Paul,

The representation of our national
emblem at ST. Paul, Minp., in the liv-
ing flag was original, unique and Won
derful. 1t struck the old soldier dumb
with establishment as he came down
Sixth street, which was an archway of
beauty, and the first effect was silence,
then every hat came off amid cheers,
when two thousand childish treble
voices that seemed as if rift from
heaven was opened and an angel band
were singing "My Country, IT'S of
Thee" which made many an old vet
eran weep unused to tears, but it was
the singing flag of youth from the pub
lie schools, conducted by Prof. G. H.
Congdon, its music teacher, on an ele-
waited platform, inclined, with twenty
six rows of seats, thirty feet high in the
rear, sixty feet wide and 120 feet long,
the two lower rows girls dressed in red
bunting, the next two white, alternate,
for the thirteen stripes. The field of
blue was boys with hat and wrap of the
same, and large white stars above
them. The effect was magical, when
in unison every hand moved together
in motion and clap that sounded like
musketry in the distance, rising from
their seats and sitting down, initiating
a waving motion as the flag in bree re

His First Battle.

Armee Franchise: My Dear Parents:
You made me promise to write to you
after every battle in which I was not
killed. Pm going to give you an ex.
tract and detailed account of all that
saw This morning.
didn't see anything myself, but l
asked some of the fellows. They didn't
see anything. Then / asked the SER
geant. But he hadn't seen a thing,
either. think the captain saw it, but
he is dead. So Pm going to tell you
just what saw.
We started off early in the morning,
along woods, and marched along its
edge for a time. Opposite US, way,
way off, was high hill with enemies
all over it. 1 didn't see them, you
know; but asked fellow in the One
Hundredth and Sixty-sixth regime mt.
He didn't see them, because the One
Hundred and Eighty-third was in front
of the One Hundred and Sixty-sixth.
So asked chap in the Two Hundred
and Twenty-third; but there was too
much smoke where he was for any fell
low to see.
My! that smoked saw that, and no
one can say didn't. At the end there
were such lots and lots of it that l might
have thought l was the only fellow in
the fight if hadn't seen the chap on
my left once in a while. Just then the
captain ordered US to load, and it was
after that he was killed.
1 must not end this letter without
telling you about the cannon. didn't
see them, you know, but heard them.
At first they made such noise you
couldn't hear yourself speak, but at the
end we didn't think anything about
them.
This, my dear mother and father, is q
faithful account of all that | saw this
morning, but think you'll have enough
of it for the present. 1 will send you
the details when 1 have read the pa.
pers: Your son, forever.

The Hawaiian Treaty.

The Hawaiian annexation treaty was
signed last Wednesday at the state de-
partment at Washington by Secretary
Sherman for the United States, and
Messrs. Hatch, Thurston and Kinney
for Hawaii. The Japanese Govern.
ment at once fled protest against the
treaty on the ground that it promised
to lead to breach of treaty stipula-
tions between Japan and Hawaii.
The treaty provides that the Govern
ment of the Hawaiian Islands cedes to
the United States absolutely and for
ever all rights of sovereignty in and
over the Hawaiian Islands and its de-
Tendencies, and that these islands shall
become an integral part of the Terri
tory of the United States.
The government of Hawaii also
cedes to the United States all public
lands, public buildings and public
property of sll descriptions.
Congress shall enact special laws to
govern the disposition of the lands in
the Hawaiian Islands. All revenues
from these lands shall be used solely
for the benefit of the inhabitants of the
Hawaiian Islands for educational and
Olner puDilC purposes. LIE hdWallaIi
Islands shall be admitted into the Union
as a Territory of the United States,
local laws to be passed as local Legis-
lature, but subject to the approval of
the President. Until Congress shall
apply the laws of the United States to
the islands, the present laws of Hawaii
are to govern.
The present treaties and laws gov
erning Hawaii's commercial relations
with foreign nations shall remain in
force until Congress shall take action.
Further immigration of Chinese labor
ers is prohibited pending Congressional
action, and the entry of Chinese from
Hawaii into the United States likewise
is prohibited.
The United States assumes the pub
lie debt of Hawaii, but with the stipu.
lation that the liability shall not exceed
$4,000,000. That treaty, before it be,
comes effective, shall be ratified by the
proper authorities of the United States
and of Hawaii. No mention is made
of any gratuity to Liliuokalani or Ka-
ulani.
