AMERICAN PATRIOTISM.
What rs the Dominating Spirit of FOurtI
of July Observances?

What rs the Dominating Spirit of Fourth
of July observances2
Is the spirit of American patriotism
still alive? Is love of liberty and coun-
try as strongly implanted in the breasts
of the people today as it was in 1776
and 1919? Is the Fourth of July oele-
bration of today commemorative of the
birth of independence or is it a mean
ingless saturnalia of noise and riotous
indulgence?
These are questions which are now
uppermost in the minds of thinking
men. Conditions which to some seem
impregnated with danger to republican
institutions have led to the fear that
patriotism is fast becoming q minor
quantity in the make up of the average
American citizen. The public heart, ii
is asserted, no longer thrills with right
eous indignation at events which in the
past would have moved the entire pop
ulace to expressions of emphatic remon-
STRANGE. Orators cannot move their au-
ditors to frenzy by spellbinding flights
of impassioned eloquence. Matters
which 30 or even 30 years ago would
have called for warlike preparation are
now allowed to pass almost unnoticed.
Fourth of July observation has taken
new form. Picnics and athletic compe-
titions have supplanted patriotic exer-
oises to large degree. There is as much
noise as ever, but it is noise without
enthusiasm. The old time stentorian
spouter who was wont to twist the lions
tail and send the American eagle soar
ing on glorious missions is in ignoble
retirement. And why?
Men of influence say these things do
not indicate decay of patriotism, but
merely that people are wiser, calmer
and more rational with advancing years.
Deliberation now takes the place of
hasty, i'll considered Judgment, and the
country is better for it, Others of equal
force and influence assert that patriot
ism is in it's decadence and the fact is
portentous of evil. America, this latter
class insists, is filling up too fast with
an untutored foreign element, which
the native population cannot properly
assimilate. Chicago Tribune.

Lessons of Patriotism.

Foreigners say of us that we are al
ways in hurry, and it is true that we
have not yet learned the philosophy of
leisure.
Indeed, during the long days in a
calendar year the people of tho United
States seem consumed by the passion of
effort. Absorbed by diverse interests,
spirited conflicts and the clash of COM
petition, we almost cease at times to
feel at all the straining of the chord Of
general American sympathy.
But upon the nations birthday the
people, like family, mingle commem-
oration with congratulation. The old
lessons of patriotism taught us through
all the years crowd in upon us, and in
every heart, where there is enough no
bility of character to render possible the
impulse of gratitude the American
spirit, with it's old strength, stirs the
better nature, till we lose the care of
business in pride of country and forget
self in the thought of flag Chicago

A GREAT ANNIVERSARY.
Fourth of July Marks the Rebirth Oi
Freedom In the World.

Fourth of July Marks the Rebirth Of
Freedom In the World.
The Fourth of July is unique among
anniversaries not only because it COM
memorates the modern rebirth of free
dom after it's death i'll the middle ages,
but because it holds place in history
as the first modern anniversary date set
apart for commemoration by all the
people of a nation.
The men who made the day historic
al felt instinctively the significance of
their work and that its influence was
not bounded by ocean lines. They felt
that the day was to commemorate the
liberation not only of people, but in
large measure of the race. They believ-
ed that it was to be first among many
days TO come illumined with the light
of the brighter pages of human history.
At the first anniversary of the date.
held in Philadelphia, and in which the
moving figures were the men who had
signed the Declaration of Independence,
this idea was clearly expressed. They
had builded not only for country, but
for the world and not only for a gener-
alton, but for all time. They had given
the national anniversary place in hu-
man annals, they thought and said.
The century which has followed has
justified the opinion.
In less than half generation France
had made the eighteenth Brumaire inn
mortal as the date of the fall of the
Bastille.
The influence of the Fourth of July
has been worldwide. AS the people
have come more into government in ev-
cry land they have widened the scope
of national aspirations. England now
has her jubilees and days commemora-
tive of Trafalgar and Waterloo, as we'll
as the lugubrious anniversary of Guy
Fawkes. Sedan day, every year, sets
Germany afame with patriotic ardor
for the fatherland. Italy has her days
sacred to the memories of its successive
steps in the achievement of Italian
unity.

A BIT OF HISTORY
Small Quantities of Permanaganate of
Potash Will Cause Wholesale De-
struc. ton.

The mosquito must CO. Science is on his
exterminate him and his tribe for ever and
aye. AT the next session Of the state legiS-
lature a well known ST Louis physician says
he will introduce a bill providing for the APP
polntment Of a mosquito commissioner. 1t
shall be the duty of that official to use such
methods he may deem proper for the
determination of the pest as far as the state
of Missouri is concerned. OF late it has
been developed that whole tribes of mos
qutoes be annhilated in short order at
small cost.
Mosquito ridden humanity will hail the
discovery with delight and rejoice in the
advance of science to. such a point that it
can do away with the pests of creation.
The agent which will destroy the insect in
short order is nothing but permanaganate
OF potash. 1t is claimed that one part Of
this substance in 1880 solution distributed
in mosquito marshes will render the devel-
opment or larvae impossible; that handful
OF permanganate will CXidiZe a ten acre
swamp, kill its embryo insects and keep it
free from organic ma tier for 30 days at a
cost of only % cents. With care it is cal
culated that the whole state may be kept
free from insect pests, such as mosquitoes
which develop from the larvae deposited in
swamps and ponds. An efficacious method
would be to scatter a few of the crystals
far apart. Scientists state that a single
pinch of permanganate has killed the germs
in a thousand gallon tank.
DR.. l. N. Love takes the stand that the
subject is of practical consequence to a
large part of New Jersey and the Missis-
sippi valley. He holds that if the mosquito
can be suppressed it would add to the
value of all property in those sections. 1t
has been the belief for some time that
where ashes from the city are dumped mos
quitos and other insect pests disappeared
from that point. 1t is thought by the scien-
lists that the potash which will leach from
| the ashes will render insect life impossible
| in that vicinity.
Now that summer is approaching bringing
with 1t the numerous insect pests and the
festive mosquito, the farmers residing near
