The Fourth of July this year was one
of unusual significance, Two events of
the day will live in the history of the Ma
ton. First, civil government was for
mally established in the Philippine
Islands, according to the promise of this
country; the military authority was re-
heved, and amnesty proclaimed for dis
tinguished rebels who led the Filipino
forces. The second event was the mon
Ster popular demonstration in honor of
PRESIDENT Roosevelt at Pittsburg. and
his mastery speech at Schenlev Park.
summing up the glorious results that
nave followed the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, the Constitution of the United
states and the wars for the preervation
OF American integrity 1t is noticeable
that the President invariably brackets
the names of Washington and Lincoln
as the two figures that stand out most
LUMINOSITY IN the cries that gave birth
and regeneration TO our Renublic-and
1t Is emlnently fitting that he does so.
1t IS likewise happy characteristic that
ne Is generous IN his bestowal of praise
upon the gallant men who are assisting
him to hold up the dignity of our COM
mon country He Is all the grander in
the American eye when he unselfshly
loses sight of his own splendid abilities,
and CommendS the devotion. spirit of
SacrihCe and patriotism exhibited by the
cabinet at home, by the administration
officers abroad. and last. but not least.
by the army and navy as a whole in de
tending at every turn the sacred prin-
ciples represented by the stars and
stripes. President RooSevelt's speeches
are all direct and his Pittsburg deliver
ance occupies a larger place in the pub
lie mind anly because it is the latest ex-
preston of his broad national policy in
handling the Philippine and Cuban
questions, and because the sentiments
were so perfectly in harmony with the
birthday of our own Republic. Each ad-
dress Is such frak statement of what
has been done. what is being done and
what will be done, that the President
carries the people with him at each step
and deServedly wins their confidence
1t seems to a layman that the campaign
OF 1902. as far as national issues are
concerned. will be largely one mans bat
tie, and that Mr.. Roosevelt viii be able
to sustain his administration by his own
magnetic peTSOnalitv

Prof W. H. H. Hart has not been
generally known as a politician. HIS
reputation has been built up in this COM
munity as an educator, lawyer and phi

business tact in pushing through Con

Hart Farm School have placed him IN

The Republican Congressional COM

and are endeavoring TO see how much

that NEGRO IS not greatly given to
