FOURTH OF JULY, 1907.


FOURTH OF JULY, 1907.
One hundred and twenty five
years ago last Thursday the
American Declaration of Indepen-
dence and the foundation of the
worlds greatest government was
thereby proclaimed in the finest
utterances known in the history
of nations.
The anniversary was fit time
for sober contemplation Of Ameri-
can politics and for estimating the
maintained strength Of American
faith in the creed upon which our
fabric of government rests. There
is no nationa! policy which may
be approved with safety by the
American people if such policy is
hostile to the spirit Of the Declare
ton of independence. There is
no surrender of any element of
that spirit possible without dan
ger to the life Of the great re-
public which sprang into being on
the day Of the signing of the
Declaration.
Within the past three years,
for the first time in its history,
the United States government has
been conducted along lines which
constitute reputation Of the
splendid truth that all just govern
ments must derive their power
from the consent Of the governed.
The doctrine has been denied and
overruled. The American Con-
stitution, a product of the spirit
which created the Declaration, has
been violated by congress in order
that this truth should not prevail
to control American action. The
termination of ths era of constitu-
tional liberty in this country is
threatened because Of this denial
of the right of others to the
liberty proclaimed by the Declare
ton as the birthright of all men.
Congress and the supreme court
have alike failed to prevent this
abandonment Of the American
creed. The constitutional safe.
guard has been removed. A
president Of the United States
to-day possesses power of alb
solutism which may not be viewed
by thoughtful Americans without
the profoundest disturbance of
confidence in the permanence of
liberty on the western continent.
On this one hundred and twenty
hfth anniversary OF the signing OF
the Declaration of Independence
it is advisable that Americans face
the truth of American conditions.
A return to the principles upon
which their government is found
ed is still possible. If there is to
be further divergence from the
true American faith such return
will soon be forever impossible.
It is for the American people to
make the choice while the privilege
of choosing is still theirs. The
choice is one between republic
and an empire. Which shall it
be? You should ask yourself this
question and answer it as be-
comes an American who is still
faithful to the truths announced
in the American Declaration of
Independence.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
Once more we are reminded of the
fact that all that is born must die"
and that we are pilgrims here below,
to prepare ourselves for that home
that lies beyond the grave. Death has
entered our ranks, and we have been
called upon to surrender to Him that
doeth all things we'll" our dearly be-
loved brother, Claude Garland, whom
we all loved so we'll, and who, while
with us, did all that he could to eX-
emplify the principles of our order,
and
Whereas, Bro. Claude Garland was
one of our number to whom we could
point to with pride, we deeply deplore
his untimely DEATH and we are made
to feel, in the death of Bro. Garland,
that Beacon Lodge No. 264, l. o. o. F.,
has suffered an irreparable loss, his
wife and child a loving and upright
husband and father, and the commun-
ity an honest and faithful citizen.
Therefore, be it,
RESOLVED, that Beacon Lodge No.
264, l. o. o. F., extend their heartfelt
sympathy to the family and friends
Of deceased, and commend them to the
care of Him who "heareth the needy
when he crieth, the poor also, and him
that hath no helper" We also extend
our thanks and brOtherly affections to
Colfax Lodges No. $40 and 346 and
Prairie City Lodge No. 258 for kindly
administrations in time Of need, and
to all others who lent their kindly aid
and words Of sympathy in the hour of
sad bereavement; and be it further
RESOLVED, That in token of deepest
sympathy our Chapter be draped with
mourning for a period of thirty days,
and a copy of these resolutions be
spread upon the records of this lodge
a copy presented to the grief-stricken
family, and a copy sent to the county
papers for publication.

Laundry Notice,

After December 1, 1901, we, the unss
dersigned laundries, will do strict
ly cash business. Believing this to
be the only true method for us and
our customers, as our accounts are
all small each week, and by paying
for the work when delivered, it will
save US work, and our customers the
annoyance of having our collector
calling on them each week.
In order that our customers may
always have the the proper change
when the work is delivered, we have
agreed to issue coupon books in de-
nominations of 81 90, 50 90 and So CO.,
and will allow discount offs per cent
on these books. These books will be
redeemed by US at any time when our
customers 30 desire, and will pay
cash for all coupons not used, less
the per cent discount.

FOOT BALL.
Penn Is MerciIessIy Defeated by SImp-
son Players.

The worst defeat ever suffered by a
Penn College team was that sustained
Friday on the home field by the
Quakers-score, 46 to 0. The day was
cold, and just the sort for snappy,
hard play. The attendance was very
fair and a good game was promised.
Penn got the ball and made hair fly
for two minutes They went into the
Simpson team after the manner of
cyclone, put it all over the red sweat
ers, and had the ball within a few
yards of the Simpson goal and signal
ed for a place-kick. The ball went wide
of the goal posts, however. The man
who kicked the ball recovered it, how
ever, and should have made touch
down, but the referee called the play
touch-back, in favor of the Simpson
ians, and Penn did not have showing
for her work. Penn held the Simpson
line for downs a number of times, but
could not keep the ball under any con-
sideration. The first half resulted in
a score of IL to in favor of the In
dianola team, and the balance OF the
awful score was made in the SECOND
half. Darkness covered the field and
the Simpson fellows did as they
pleased and there was no opposition to
their acts.
There was some roughness in the
game and several men were reired.
Penn seemed to be the sufferer in this
case. One of the Simpson men slug
ged or kicked O'Brien and this player
took exception to the act. He prompt
ly knocked the offender to the ground
with a straight-arm punch and then
used his shoe on his PROSTATE anat-
omy. The referee and the umpire here
put up some excellent interference
and the play was stopped, or it is diff
cult to say where the affair would have
ended. O'Brien was retired on full
pay and the battle was wageI anew
The lineup was as follows:
