visors. District Attorney Jones
has worked hard and arduously on
this case and the final outcome is a
great achievement on his part. The
decision will not only apply to the
one year that they were raised, but
that raise, which the court sus.
tanned will be a fixed stand dsrd so
long as they possess that number
of cattle.
This decision also Is in direct
line with the charges made a short
time since by the GUARDIAN that
the big cattle men generally do
not pay their proportion of the
taxes. The decision is a great
thing for Graham county and we
hope to see the Board of Super.
visors take similar action with
other large concerns. ....

"WHEN 1t comes to q change in
text books in the public school,
the question naturally arises, how
much good is there in it? 1t is
known that these changes are
more often brought about by the
bookseller than the wants of the
pupil or the necessities of the
school room. Every change of
books means to parents the cast
ing aside of the books already
purchased and the buying of
others. The outlay in this direc.
ton is often enormous and too
often can lily be afforded. We
say 60 slow and show the necessi-
ty for q change before putting
parents to the expense. Arizona
Citizen.
The above is a fair way of look
ing at the proposition. There is
no earthly need of making q
change in text books. The ones
now in use are as good as any
that = change would bring into
use, and the only end to be served
by a change is to enrich some
book company. We are sure q
change is not necessary or even
desirable in Graham county.
Throwing away money in this
fashion is pure nonsense.

HOLDS THE FUTURE.
America Occupies Proud Position Among
the Nations.

On this peculiarly American day, the
Fourth of July, when from the Atlantic to
the Pacific the sound Of firecrackers-a
miniature battle-recalls the boom of the
cannon and the roar of artillery which
won for us our liberty when the war of
the Revolution was over, we Americans
feel the greatness of our country and the
proud position which she holds among 9TH
er nations
We celebrate with great rejoicing the
anniversary of American independence.
And this day will ever be associated with
that most noble of instruments that de-
clared these colonies free.
We feel that it is a great honor to be
an American and live in a country SO
strong in youth, territory and nonconges-
ton of her population, so strong in the
expectation of her inhabitants in the own
ership of the land, in the blood of heroes
that flows in the veins of her sons, in the
absence of luxury and the need of toll.
All this has combined TO make American
Drawn noteworthy.
The impress of the goodness of the
Father also makes the nation moral. Her
popular government, her religious liberty
and her institutions all prophesy and
prove that Arnold spoke the truth when
he declared that America holds the flu

RELIC OF THE WAR OF '7e.
Flag Carried by the Father of President
Willard Fillmore.


Independents. lay Is the one day on
which the red, white and blue Is unfurled
to wave gracefully in breezes that are pop
ulsrly supposed to blow in a more patriotic
manner on this than any other day In the
calendar year. But there is one dag In
Chicago which will not be hauled aloft on
the Fourth at the end of halyard, says
the Chicago Tribune. 1t is too precious a
relic TO be frayed by rude winds, and,
moreover, it has served its day. IL is a
flag with an honorable and revered past,
all of which will probably never be told,
for the men who knew its minute history
and of the scenes through which IL passed
In the stirring days of 1875 have long since
moldered into dust.
The flag is a relic of the Revolutionary
war and is an heirloom in the Fillmore
family, lineal descendants OF Millard Fill
more. It's present custodian is w. Henry
Wilson, demonstrators OF bacteriology IN
the Hahnemann Medical college In this
city. Mr.. Wilson's wife was Miss Maude
Stewart Fillmore, a daughter of Franklin
b. Fillmore, first lieutenant Company i,
Twenty-sixth Illinois Volunteer infantry.
The flag was carried in the Revolutionary
war by Natndnlel lliluOro, luIucr VI ros-
ident Willard Fillmore.
The flag is 10 feet long by 5H feet wide
It's colors were originally the regulation
red, white and blue, but the ravages Of
time have faded the red to IA dim brown,
turned the once snowy white to an antique
yellow and metamorphosed the blue into
q tint which contains only suggestion of
the cerulean union on which the stars
once stood out in bold relief. The field
consists of ID stripes, originally alternate
red and white of equal width. The union
was the blue and the depth of nine of the
bars. In the center of the field are the
figures "76," crudely formed If gauged by
the standard of art of over 100 years later,
cut from linen and sewed TO the union.
Over the figures "76" is an arch of IL
stars, seven pointed. A star is also placed
in each upper corner of the union, making
13 stars in all. Every portion of the flag
is hand woven, home spun and hand
sewed linen. This is clearly apparent from
even cursory examination, but is proved
conclusively by a microscopical test, show
ing more uneven thread and texture
than are produced by machinery.

The Fourth From a British Standpoint.

1.-The Book of Days." the wade mecum,
so to speak, of all good Britains, has this
TO say about the day on which all good
Americans become delirious with joy and
the smell of powder:
"When "A country or government has
been baffled in its efforts TO attain or pre-
serve hated rule over another people, it
must be content to see its failure made
the subject of never ending triumph and
exultation. The joy attached to the sense
of escape or emancipation tends Co perpet-
uate itself by periodical celebrations, in
which it is not likely that the motives of
the other party or the general justice of
the case will be very carefully considered
OF allowed for. We may doubt if it be
morally expedient thus to keep alive the
memory of facts which as certainly infer
modification TO one party as glorihcation
TO another Exchange.

be all over with me long before you have
done kicking in the air. The glad news
of independence was communicated to the

serts that the old bellman in the tower
tolled the knell of tyranny and rang in the
birth Of new nation great, glorious
and Free" amid the joyous acclamations
of the crowd.

Broadened Freedoms Pathway.

What our fathers did they did not only
for themselves, but for all who speak the
English tongue. The lessons taught by
our struggle and victory are as lasting as
our race and broader than even the vast
territory we cover today. When, therefore,
we celebrate the Declaration of Independ-
ence we celebrate not only the courage and
conduct of ancestors whose descendants
we are, but the brave and farsighted deed
of servants of mankind who not only
founded an empire, but broadened the
pathway of civilization, progress and free
dom around the world. Thomas Is. Reed.

This day, July ?, seemed to the patriots
assembled in Philadelphia the most mem
orable in history. They fully believed that
future generations would celebrate July 2
as independence day. John Adams wrote
to his wife: 1.-The 2d day of July, 1776,

history of America, To be celC DRAFTED by

Independence Justified.

Never was the Declaration of American
Independence in 1875 so justified before
God and man as 1t is by the relations and
conditions of the two English speaking
nations which exist today. Never was the
United States SO great or powerful in ma
terial wealth and resources, never so
grandly independent in its self sustaining
energies and so full of all the elements of
high civilization, of political, social,
moral and intellectual strength as today.
