The fairleW Celebration

Men unaccustomed to newspaper
work frequently fail to understand the
necessity for promptness in deciding
matters. Last week there was talk
of cancelling the date of holding the
state committee meeting and fixing
upon July 3 instead, in order to take
advantage of excursion rates and al
low the members of the committee an
opportunity to remain over and take
i'll the Fourth of July celebration at
Fairview. 1t was decided to make
this change, and The Independent an
nounced the change and the celebra-
tion in one item.
After the editorial page had been
sent to the stereotyper, the powers
that be again changed their minds
and concluded, after all, that the
meeting must come as originally set.
And the forms had to be hauled back
changes made in two different ar
ticles, one killed and new plate
made. The result was that no men
tion was made of the Fairview cele-
bration last week. The following,
quoted from The Commoner, is self
explanatory. 1t is only necessary to
add that populists generally appre-
ciate Mr.. Bryan's enterprise in secur-
ing the noted speakers he has for this
occasion, and that they will come
fiom far and near to hear them:
The Fairview Jefferson club viii!
hold an old-fashioned Fourth of July
celebration at Fairview this year. The
readers of The Commoner will remem-
ber that Fairview is the name given
to Mr.. Bryan's home and is situated
about four miles southeast of Lin
coin. The exercises will be held in a
grove close to the street car line and
about quarter of mile from Mr..
Bryan's residence.
Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleve-
land O., Col Richard S. Wynne of Ft.
Worth, Tex, and DR.. Howard S. Tay
lor of Chicago will deliver addresses.
Professor HagenoW's band will furnish
music for the occasion and choir
selected from The Commoner office
force will lead in the singing of pa
triotic airs.
The celebration of the anniversary
of the nations birth has in toe many
places degenerated into day of sport
for the people and into day of mon
ey-making for merchants.
The Fairview Jefferson club desires
tC return to the simplicity and SINGER
ity of the earlier Gay celebrations
when the people were wont to gather
together on such a day to renew ac-
Quaintances, exchange opinions. sing
together inspiring songs, hear the
Declaration of independence read, and
listen to the discussions of questions
affecting the national welfare. The
club is fortunate in being able to Sc
cure the attendance of the distin-
guished citizens whose names are
mentioned above. Of Tom L. John
son it is not necessary to speak. His
able and courageous defense of the in
terests of the masses has earned for
him his position of leadership of the
Ohio democracy, an he is using that
leadership to bring about public re-
forms. Col. Wynne is one of the most
prominent lawyers of Texas, an ora
tor of note and a citizen of high
ideals DR.. Taylor is city attorney of
Chicago under Mayor Harrison, and
is not only an able speaker, but is so
accomplished writer of verse that
he has been dubbed poet laureate of
the Chicago platform democracy. All
are cordially invited.

HARDY's COLUMN

The Fourth of July is near at hand;
il is a noted, honored and glorified
record day. Our early forefathers on
that day of that month in the year
1776 signed a written declaration that
we were determined to have an indie
pendent government, home govern
ment, and would no longer be gov
erned by a king three thousand miles
away. Now what would be done if a
lot of Filipinos should get together
and sign the declaration and publish
it. Samuel would probably do just
as the king of England did-go to
killing off those who wanted to gov,
ern themselves.
There were 291 cases of typoid fever
within the last three months among
the students of the New York univer-
sity and the inhabitants of Ithaca,
surrounding, and, 90 deaths. 1t is gen.
orally admitted that the trouble came
through the impurity of the water
supply.
There is strong evidence that the
world is improving morally, relig-
iously and politically. Morality has
nothing to do with crime, but does
restrict vice. Personal indulgence of
appetite and lust is vice, but when
indulgence trespasses upon the rights
of others it becomes crime. There is
not the indulgence of appetite and lust
there was fifty years ago. Many vic
ious people are extremely secret in
their indulgence. In open daylight
they pretend to be temperate and vir-
tuous. In former days church men
and prophets believed in polygamy
and sheltered concubines.
If the state officers who put more
money into their pockets during terms
ct office than the state constitution
specifies are compelled to hand the
extra money back to the state then
the members of the past six or eight
legislatures should be made to pay
back all their salaries received ex-
cepting one hundred and twenty dol
lars. The amendment to the constitu-
ton increasing their pay to three
hundred dollars never was adopted by
the people; it was counted in by re-
publicans and is no more a part of the
constitution than the prohibition
amendment voted for. 2..ss
We hope our governor will not COM
mute the sentence of the murderer
now at the foot of the gallows, in our
renitentiary. A murderer should be
put where he could never commit an
other crime See what a life prisoner
undertook to do this week in Colorado
prison. If there was any doubt of the
guilt of our prisoner it would be diff
ferent. Criminals fear hanging more
than they fear any other punishment
and fear is what should be sown
among criminals. We punish not be-
cause crime has been committed, but
to prevent crime in the future.

OUR MINISTER TO VENEZUELA
MT. Bowen is Straightforward, Fearless, Strenuous and Dem
 ocratic.


 ocratic.
 American Monthly Review of Reviews. Herbert Wolcott Bowen is a diplomat of the American school-straightforwa fearless. strenuous, simple and democrat ic. He believes that duplicity is as mex cusable between honest nations as be- tween men. and that his chief duty is to promote peace, and especially friendship between his native land and the nation to which he may be accredited. Call 1t of the shirt sleeve brand if you will, but American diplomacy Is of the kind that leaves no doubt as to its meaning, and requires no expounding afterward by the publicists. It is honest and 1t ac- complishes results.
 Although the Venezuelan imbroglio was the occasion of bringing Mir. Bowen into the sudden glare of publicity. yet had he not been a man thoroughly versed in the principles of international law, had he not possessed unusual executive abil- ity in planning for just such an event as occurred, and had he not showed great coolness in decision and an eager willing ness-not to say anxiousness-to assume responsibility he would not have been heard of even now. Yet those who have watched MT. Bowen's career have not been unprepared for the promptltude with which he has taken, one might almost say. general command of the whole Ven ezuelen situation. It needs little argu- ment to prove his fitness for the task be- fore him when all 44ngland and Germany are grateful to him for gaining the liber- alton of their subjects from the Venezue- Ian Jail; when Holland and Italy, as well as England and Germany. have asked our State Department to have him

necessary an extra tier will be added to 1t. The new sections on the right wing will be reserved exclusively for ladies ,alone or with escorts, these sections being fitted up with roomy, comfortable chairs. The most rigid attention will be paid to the convenience and comfort of the ladies, and the management intend to throw all safeguards possible around them, having them as protected as if in their own homes. The third wing of the stand will be shut off entirely from the other two and will be devoted to smokers, ladies not being allowed there. Work will be commenced immediately. the lumber be- ing all ordered. and in three weeks at the outside the grandstand will in all probability be completed. The bleachers will also be of the most modern construc- ton, having a seating capacity of 1000.
