The Fourth Of July,

Monday next, July 4, will be observed
bereabouts in the conservative manner,
which has characterized the people OF this
citv for many years. There will be no
public celebration, but the day will, in
a measure, be a dies non. Most OF the
community will take holiday and num-
bers will go on public or private excur-
sions. Business will be suspended, the
banks being closed, as well as the gov
eminent aud city offices. The postoffice
will observe Sunday hours. In the olden
time the recurrence of the Fourth OF July
inspired true patriotism, and the mass
of the community celebrated lndepend-
ence Day ex amino. Salutes we're fired
on the suburbs, speeches made and bar
becues participated in. But now live
in another age, when talk about indie
pendence or patriotism tails upon dull
ears, when appeals are made to the poly
glot population of the present day.

Verdicts for Defendant.

The suits of Grover and Kraft versus
the Washington, Alexandria and Mount
Vernon Railway Company for damages
in the sum of 5000 each have been de-
cided by Justice of the Peace Webb in
Washington in favor of the defendant
company. The suits grew out of the al
legged refusal of the plaintiffs to pay fare
because they were unable TO secure seats
on a Mount Vernon car, and damages
were claimed becaused they were elected
from the car by the conductor.

TIE PRESIDENT AND PANAMA

The Baltimore Sun says: Senator Lodge
says the letter which President Roosevelt
wrote to DIR. Albert Shaw, Of New York,
under date OF October 10, 1908, really proves
to be Of no Importance, as it demonstrates
that the President was not guilty OF com
plicity In the Panama revolution. If the
letter is as harmless as the Massachusetts,
senator represents ii to be there ID no rea.
son why be should be 80 angry at It's publ.
cation or suggest that the Democratic cam
palgn is IN "a desperate and helpless condi-
ton" The President says In this letter
81 cast aside the proposition made at this
time to loment the secession Of Panama"
II was his duty to do that. The United
States was on friendly terms at that time
with Colombia and our Government was
negotiating with the Government at Bogota
for canal treaty. While Mr.. Roosevelt
held one view as President touching the
secession OF Panama, he held another and
entirely different view In his unofficial ca.
paclty--if II is possible for him to have any
capacity except his official one. Privately
he wrote TO DIR, Shaw in the same letter, "a
should be delighted II Panama were an in.
dependent state, or II II made itself so al
this moment; but for me TO say so publicly
would amount to an insugation Of revolt
and therefore cannot say it," The seces-
sion movement In Panama eliminated on
November 3. 1908, "a days after the Presi.
dents letter was sent to DR.. Shaw. The
phraslng OF that letter would apparently in
dictate that the Government at Washington
was well informed as to what was going or
In the Isthmus. 1t further indicates tha
the Presidents sympathies were with thu
secession party in Panama. Surely thes,
facts were worth bringing out for the en-
lightenment OF the American people,
only 10 show the distinction which tn,
President makes between his public anC
private views on questions affecting thu
honor and welfare Of the nation.
