FIFTY SEVENTH YEAR.

ma canal.
The commercial advantage of this
canal not be over estimated, authentic
measurements show that the distance
from Liverpool TO San Francisco via
Cape Horn is 100 miles less than from
New York but we are still more sur
prlsed to find New Orleans farther
from the Golden Gate than the other
two.
The economy of the shipping inter
ests OF England and America alone
would pay for the canal twice over in
q short time, to say nothing Of the adj
vantage to commerce of reaching
markets hitherto inaccessible.
No part of our country will reap
greater benefit from the opening of
the canal than the southern states, to
whom the markets of the far east, as
well as the western coast of South
America, will be thrown wide open; at
the same time the California fruit
growers will be brought in touch with
those of northern Europe to their
mutual profit The impetus then
given to all the industries of our
country, which have languished sim
ply for want of an accessible market.
will lead TO such an era of develop
ment and prosperity as Imagination
cannot define or limit No longer
shall we hear the cry of overproduc-
ton, and rs such universal prosperity
and activity must rebound to the adj
vantage of the whole country, so those
very interests which have fought the
canal most bitterly must inevitably
share in its widespread benefits
The closing year Of this the canal
century should have been signalized

of the army | abhorred the idea of i'm
dependence; now | am satisfied that
nothing else can save us"
The idea was carried still further in
the first Colonial congress where the
colonists declared they could not and
would not be taxed except THROUGH
their representatives Affairs now
appeared to be coming to crisis: il
was earnestly hoped in both countries
that the war, which now seemed AL
NEST inevitable, might in some way
be averted. Edmund Burke made his
famous speech in Parliament known
as ''The Cancellation With the Colo
MES, " in which he advocated the re-
peal OF those measures so hateful to
the Americans. William Pitt openly
rejoiced at the resistance of the colo
MES; remonstrances and petitions
were repeatedly sent 10 the king only
to be met with the same obstinate dis
approval and contempt All efforts
to induce king and parliament TO sub
nit were useless. so the war began.
AT the Mecklenburg convention of
lI75 a series of resolutions was adopt
ed, the tenor of which was in harmony
With the Declaration Of independence
yet to be written, for through these
resolutions the citizens OF North Car
DINA absolyed themselves from all al
legiance to Great Britain This to-
gether with the moral if not military
success at Bunker Hill gave the patri-
OTIS such confidence in their own pow
er that from that time the hope of
separation was ever before their
minds.
In the summer of 1916 Richard
Henry Lee OF Virginia moved the res
olution in congress THAT these unit
ed colonies are and of right ought to
be free and Independent states The
resolution was adopted in June and
committee appointed to draw up
declaration Of independence The
committee reported in the same
month and the declaration was adopt
ed July fourth The Joy Of the colo
nists was unbounded; intense excite
ment peryaded every part Of the coun-
try; stirring speeches were made by
some Of the leading patriots, while the
air joyfully rang with the jubilant
shouts Of the crowds which now
throngcd the streets.
But they soon found that it was one
thing to declare independence, an
other to secure it; so the war was car
ried on until the victory over the
English at Yorktown, after which the
treaty Of peace was signed which
severed the colonies forever from the
protection Of Great Britain Proud
and happy had the colonists been OF
their English birth and at the close of
the French and Indian war heartily
reioiced at the success of the mother
country; now that feeling was turned
to one OF bitter enmity.
One step more was needed to put
those liberties, 50 dearly won, upon
firm foundation; for no longer united
against common foe the whole com
munity seemed in need of better
form of government. This was ac-
complished through the constitution
which, though amended at times, has
ever since been the limiting power Of
this nation
In what better words can the spirit
of liberty be shown than those in
praise of the old bellman:
''Who betwiXt the earth and sky,
Rang out our independence,
Which, please God, may never die

Normal School Athletics.
(Communicated)

k1DiHHi uHitdlNNlJ
platteville Normal Athletic associa-
ton brought its years work to very
successful close last week by three
notable events, viz.
First, Field-day upon June 4. All
the events were warmly contested and
the winners deserve much praise for
the creditablc showing made. There
were some 80 contestants.
Second, The game of baseball upon
June 9TH, Linden being the opposing
team The teams were evenly
matched in fielding ability but in bat
ting Platteville made much the better
showing. Linden's weakness at the
bat was due to the magnificent work
Of Evans who pitched for Platteville.
He struck out fifteen Of Linden's bats
men and allowed but five hits. The
novel feature Of the game was the
striking out of seven of Linden's bats
men in succession. 1t was an inter
esting game TO watch, Platteville win
ming by score OF $ to 2. Time Of
game 2:10; attendance 500 umpire,
Smith.
Third, Last but far from least was
the game with the Nebraska Indians
The Indians were naturally great
drawing card and by o'clock, the
time scheduled for the game to begin,
there were fully 800 people anxiously
waiting to hear the war whoop. At
3:15 o'clock Umpire Smith called,
"Plav ball'' and the game began with
Platteville in the field and the Indians
at the bat The first two batsmen
were easily retired but the next two
''scalpers" hit safely scoring one run
before the side was retired. Platte
vile, encouraged by the favorable
start, came to bat firmly resolved; the
first two men up, Earl and Bray, hit
ting safely; EARL scoring later on
sacrifice hit. Platteville did not score
again until the 9Th inning when Hen
dershot reached first on an error, stole
second and scored moment later on
wild throw Whereas Platteville
had men on bases in All but two in
nings they could not score due to the
snappy and accurate fielding of the
Indians who made during the game
five double plays and with the excep-
ton of two scratch errors played an
errorless game.
The game was characteristic for the
social feeling between the two teams,
the game being entirely void Of any
sem blance of wrangling, and the Indi-
ans by their coaching kept the crowd
in joyful mood throughout the
game. The final score showed the
Wah Wahs to be easy winners, the
score card crediting them with Is
runs, IL hits and errors, and Platte
vile with runs, hits, errors

Time of game 40; umpire, Smith.
The Indians defeated the Dubuque
team three games last week and out
of 80 games have lest but three.

Excuse me for expressing my political

The natives are fighting for their homes

are surely the bone of the Filipinos and
every citizen should have a right to ex-
press his views in regard to the laws
that govern his home. The Filipinos in
their plea for self government bring
forclbly to u.ind the n%tterances OF the
great American patriot, "Give me
liberty or give me DEATH"
No one for a moment doubts but what
the United States will give them a good
government, but the Filipinos have been

faith in all nations, and who can blame
them: SPAN bas made promise after
promise, only to break them. They had
gathered together the largest and best
equipped army they ever had. They
know by submitting to our government
they must lay down their arms first, and
that means taking away the only chance
they ever had Of gaining their freedom.
We must bear in mind these people

and enlightenment that our country
affords. They judge the future by their
past experiences, and go brought on this
