Dignity of the RevoIut,ou

The calm dignity with which this Rev
olution was inaugurated, the ties of ale
glance sundered, the solemn declaration
made that henceforth these colonies were
to be free and independent states, and the
solemn appeal of the representatives of
the people to posterity for the rectitude
of their intentions is one Of the grandest
and most imposing events in history.
When, in all time, have any other people
inaugurated revolution and confronted
death with such fearless dignity? No
violence marked the grandeur of this
great act. But the calm recital of wrongs
and expressions is followed by the de-
cisive step and the solemn appeal to the
Supreme Judge of the world. How
striking the contrast with other nations
when in the throes Of revolution !-Adlai
Stevenson

The Merchants Rostrum.

The column of the newspaper is
the merchants rostrum. 1t is his
pulpit. 1t is his stump. From that
he addresses the public at large.
From that he speaks to his constit-
uency. to his audience. Advertising
is the channel through which the
merchant speaks to the people he de-
sires to address. His advertising is
the test of his character. 1t must be
true. AS he speaks, and as the
people have an opportunity to Judge
Of the truth of his printed utterances
day by day they will form their esti-
mate of his character. His charac-
ter is the soul Of his advertising; and
therefore it must always be true. r.

A Glorious Fourth

Little Adelbert arose at four
And crept down stairs to the big front door
And down the walk to the garden gate,
And there he started to celebrate.
With bursting cracker and roaring gun
He Weakened the neighbors, every one;
He scared the cat out OF all her sense
And blew the Stats off the picket fence
And came to breakfast with one black eve
And said, "Hooray for the Fourth Of Julyl"

HOMESTEAD AND LEASING.

N-lL
A great deal is being said just now
about the danger of the abrogation of
the homestead law, says the DenAer
Stockman because of the proposed
leasing of the range lads There is a
great deal of sentiment and consider
able wind in this sudden interest in
the homestead law. The lands that
it is proposed shall be subject to lease
should never be subject to homestead
entry and any law chat would make
it impossible for SUCH lands to be
homesteaded would be of benefit to
the people. Why should anyone be
allowed to take up land of the kind
that twenty acres are required to fur
nish life for one steer He might sup
port eight steers upon it, but eight
steers would not furnish much of a
living. 1t should not be possible for
any man to take up such land for q
homestead Any man who would
want to take up such land would be
either a fool or knave. If the for
mer, he should be headed off; if the
latter, he does not want the land for
auy good purpose and is not entitled
to it. All lands which are 1T for
homestead entry should never be sub
ject to lease, They should be retained
for homesteaders, and where lands ale
not fit for homestead, they should be
withdrawn from the action of that
bene6cient law Star.
