which the telephone is to be utilized TO
promote the interests of husbandry, In
Montgomery county, Indiana forty
townships are connected anu over SIX
thousand telephones are in use.
The ultimate effect of the establish

communities is TO put the rural family
in contact with the city and the world
at large and thus enlarge its industrial

contentment With farm life. The abil-
ity to ring up" the city may be, the
solution of the problem of how to keep

Comfort Not Dignity.

During the trial of a case in the circuit
court tie other day one of the parties in
the case entered protest because John
Costly had entered the court room iii
his shirt sleeves. The judge decided
that so long as the shirt Yves clean and
the wearer was more comfortable with
out his coat, the court had no objection
to make. The man tried to convince
the Judge that it lowered the dignity of
the court to sit with coat off, but the
court could not see it that way.-La

Is July 4 Fading Out?

July seems to have attracted less
attention this year. There are and al
ways will be- Il great many explosives
let off on that day, but it must be con-
fessed the significance of the occasion
the birth of llberty-is more and
more lost sight of. Not only is July
4, 17T6, 125 years remote, but free
dom, at least in the common accept
arce of the term, Is such an accepted
fact that It's achievement seems
cheap. Mr.. Bryan would not con-
cede that liberty is a universal fact,
and there are forms of slavery In
many countries and perhaps in our
own; nevertheless the brazen rule of
mOnarchs, the taxation without rep
resentation the brutal force of might
which jefferson and the men of his
time resisted are now rare and not
daily grievances. The oppression and
wrongs u today are conceded, but
they are new forms and subtle and
not graphically related to the Declar-
alton of Independence.
Probably 1t is for these reasons that
our people do no. draw long breaths
of gratitude and satisfaetio'. as they
awake on July 4 to the bang and
crash of gunpowder. The blessings are
too cheap. And. as for the boys in the
streets, bless you, they have no idea
why they are celebrating. Ask one Of
them!
/ know OF no escape from the de-
generation of once noble day to what
must, at the present rate of ignorance,
become a farce except revival of
thoughtful patriotism that revives old
emotions or deals with essentials and
present issues. For instance, | can
imagine Il 4th of July following the
determination of the liquor traffic in
this country that would uean some
| thing; that would make an American
feel he had accomplished something;
that would breed a love of country and
glory III 1t; that would make his
blood thrill when the band played
America" But this is a vision for d
later generation.
However, l reiterate, a successful
&th of July must follow an issue-an0
II must not be too remote.
