good condition. The berry crops will
be good, with the exception of straw

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

with q good attendance, and the
occasion was generally appreci
: ated. The weather on the 4tl
was ideal up to about 4 O'Clock
( in the afternoon when a heavy
rain set in, and the remaining
portion of the afternoon program
was postponed until the follow
ing day.
Perhaps it is sign of old age
when we find ourselves CRITICS
ing the young for thinking that
noise and powder spell patriot
ism, and yet, we who are men
and women feel as though it
were rather a sign Of common
sense in us that we should criti-
else the expenditure of hundreds
of thousands of dollars in smoke,
the expenditure of lives in ac-
cidents and the destruction of
property by fire. What posi-
BILE relation can there be between
wasted money and the great
message rung out by the Liberty
Bell +? The 4th this year in
Challis, as in other years pre-
ceding, passed off in a perfect
pandemonium of sound and the
streets were Uttered with scraps
of paper from China, as proof
of an American patriotic holt
day. But noise or no noise, the
4th of July is an occasion that
we cannot afford to forget, and
from which each year we must
draw thoughts fitted to present
day needs.
The individuals who signed
the Declaration of Independence
and who we're ready, some of
them, to give up their lives to
maintain the principles that they
declared, have all passed away
and they are, to the greater
number Of us, nothing but nam
es; embalmed imperishably in
in our nations history, not be-
cause they bore such names, but
because, as men, they had such
ideas, and we want to get that
thought well grounded in our
own lives. 1t is of precious lit
tie Importance whether our name
is Smith, Jones, Robinson, or
any other of the hundreds of
thousands of different names
that can be enumerated in our
population, The name does not
count, but it is the heart and the
purpose of the man back of the
name, and we should try not to
have anxious thought as to
whether our name will live. Our
anxiety should be to associate
ourselves with great ideas and
grand projects, and to secure
our national Immortality through
them.
