URGED CELEBRATION OF DAY.

John Adams in Approval of a Bolster.
Gus Fourth.
In honoring the Fourth Of July, the
famous letter written by John Adams
from Philadelphia on the day follow
ing the signing Of the Declaration of
Independence should be remembered,
as it practically shows his approval
of what many have called the more
boisterous methods of celebrating the
day. The most notable portion of this
letter, written July S, 1875, is:
Yesterday the greatest question
was decided which was ever debated
in America, and a greater, perhaps,
never was or will be decided among
men. A resolution was passed, with
out one dissenting colony, That these
colonies are and of right ought to be
free and independent States
The day is past. The Fourth OF
July, 1875, will be a memorable epoch
in the history of America. 1 am led
to believe it will be celebrated by sue.
ceeding generations as the great an.
niyersary festival.
ut ought to be commemorated as
the day of deliverance by solemn acts
OF devotion to Almighty God. II
ought to be solemnized with pomp
shows, games, sports, ringing of bells
bcnfires and Examinations from one
end of the continent to the other from
this time forward and forever.
"You will think me translated with
enthusiasm, but ! am not. Il am well
aware of the toll and blood and treas
ure that it will cost us to maintain
this declaration and support and de
fend these states. Yet through al
the gloom I can see the ray of light
and glory. l can see that the end is
worth more than all the means and
that Dosterity will triumph"

Naturalization and State Rights.

The proposed reform legislation in
favor of more stringent naturalization
laws aims to remedy abuses which, it
is held, have reached dangerous pro-
portions. The right Of full citizenship
Is granted presumably to the immi-
grant who has qualified himself in GER
tain formalities land Is of good moral
character" But the chief feature chal-
lenged by agitators of reform in nat
uralization laws is the facility with
which voters are made as the laws now
stand.
This evil may be crying one, but
the remedy seems to lie in part outside
Of the national authority, since the
states individually decide upon the
qualifications of voters. Many of the
states allow aliens to vote when they
have declared their intention to be-
come citizens, which is before they
have proved good moral character,
sworn off their allegiance or resided
the requisite five years in the United
States. One of the arguments used
by aliens when asking that the laws
be strained in their favor is that they
are as good as some others who have
been admitted, and so on, plea which
carries weight II the applicants are
worthy. And if bunch of good men
are admitted irregularly that fact is
cited in favor of immigrants less desir-
able. With easy laws in operation in
one state 1t is difficult to restrain
abuses across the line, especially If
the applicants make as good showing
in support Of their claims as their
neighbors.

A Noble Relic In Danger.

Military necessity knows no law and
mament has rendered old Fort McHen-
ry, at Baltimore, obsolete, and the re-
port is that the birthplace of "rhe
Star Spangled Banner" must go. 1t is
said in Europe that this country can
not be great because sit has no ruins"
1t has history, and Fort McHenry
is historic landmark with most glo-
rious memory. The heroic defense Of
the post turned the tide in the British
campaign on the Atlantic coast in 1914,
an event which inspired Francis Scott
Key to write our national anthem.
The only way to have ruins" To
mark our stored past Is to respect the
popular veneration for historic sites
and piles. The people love them and
mourn over their destruction or neg
lect. Our civil war battlefields are be-
ing preserved as hallowed ground.
Their associations are near to us, and
yet it would be unfair to assume that
the sentiment evolved by them is the
narrow one Of self glorification. Fort
McHenry is a link between the civil
war era and the more distant Revolu-
ton. 1t recalls the first conflict of the
United States as a nation.

A Word For the College Girl.

President Taylor of Vassar hits back
sharply at some of the critics of wo.
mems colleges and college girls. Re-
plying specifically to a recent attack
upon the higher education of women
by DR.. Stanley Hall, President Taylor,
addressing the Vassar alumnae, said:
You college women are being objected
to again, as you were fifty years ago
You are told your training makes you
unhealthy and unwomanly. Now, I've
been watching the health of the college
girls for years, and l never saw ro-
buster, healthier, heartier lot than these
college girls.
They do things no one ought to do. and
they come out healthy. They don't even
wear hats any more. They go skating
without hats, coasting without hats, ana
they go everywhere without hats except
into town. The modern girl wears not
only the simplest, thlnnest of shirt waists
but she throws her coat open when it
20 degrees below zero. We don't know
what she's made of, but she stands 1t and
Is healthy and strong.
President Taylor thinks that college
girls make as good showing in moth
erhood statistics as do other women
and that the talk about excessive men
tality among college women is mis-
placed. Concluding, he said
don't know what is the best kind of
education. l never have been able to dis
cover that girls minds were not able to
take the same kind of education as their
brothers, but l do know girls can talk
about better and larger things than can
boys, whose conversation has narrowed
and narrowed to discussions of football
and baseball players. The college girl is
just the natural girl, only little better
trained.
Women's colleges are here to stay,
and the question of the best kind of
training for girls will settle itself after
trial as in other departments of higher
education.

Dress Suit Topsy Turvcydom.

A recent appeal by a college presi-
dent for the gift of dress suits to stu
dents unable TO buy them for them
selves called forth wide comment, both
editorially and In communications
from the outside. AS feature mark
ing the social tendencies of the times
the dress suit offers subject to think
over and one to be treated gingerly or
radically according to the stress of
fashions edicts in particular circles.
Some college boys of today plead that
they will miss something worth getting
at college unless they disport in claw
MANNERS, and some old timers declare
that they had none in their day and
had no use for them anyway.
If it takes three generations from
shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves" the dress
suit ought to figure in the second of
the three. AT present blue jeans and
broadcloth contend for place on the
same peg. The stronghold of the dress
suit fad when, as often appears, it is
mere fad instead of a dignified and
sensible regulation is that social Dor
derland known as Bohemia. Men in
Bohemia affect dress suits as the badge
of a clique and inaugurate functions
purposely to wear them and shut out
their less fortunate fellows. 1t mat
tiers not that the clothes are hired or
borrowed or sadly dilapidated. Having
them on is the thing that tells The
man they cover is nothing.
Among bohemians and those who
take their cue from Bohemia one may
appear dressed ever so faultlessly
and be met with the "frozen face Oh
his best friends, so called, if he lacks
the trappings ordained by custom. 1t
Is foolish for a young man to rebel
against this discrimination and equally
foolish in him to worry over the snub-
bling or strain his resources to get into
the Bohemia swim. There is really no
moral or social benefit to be gained
in association with people, whether
men or women, who place clothes
above character. When assemblies are
made up of representatives Of charac-
ter 1t is an honor to be included. A
young man who has reached stage
where he can join that procession with
out cutting in is above worrying over
a mere change of clothes, for that is all
fashions dictum will mean to him

The Jan Badge of Courage.


Perhaps one cause of the efficiency
of the japanese soldiery is the fact
that none of the mikado's soldiers
marched to the front with "a marshaPs
baton in his knapsack." Instead of
looking for chances to win promotion
or to do rare stunts as an advertise
ment of valor the Jap has been attend
ing to the ordinary business Of war
fare. Special acts of bravery are not
recognized by advancement nor brevet
nor reward. Since Napoleons day
western armies have been hypnotized
by the phrase, promoted on the field
for gallantry."
The true soldier seeks to win laurels
for his company and regiment and
corps. Captured battleflags and guns
are credited as trophies to the organi-
zation effecting the capture, not to in
dividuals. Whenever soldier Is en-
gagged in doing some brilliant thing
his fellows are pegging away at com
monplace affairs to help him Other
wise battle would be like an Irish
fair-every man on his own hook. I'm
vidious distinctions" in armies are an
evil and are discredited by the best
professional soldiers. TO do ones duty,
to respond when called upon, is the
highest merit soldier can aspire to.
Honors belong to all and should be
shared by all, for the fortunate of one
encounter may be the unfortunate of
the next, and vice versa.
The mikado awards medals and 9th
err decorations for especially brave
deeds, the highest Of these being the
Golden Kite. Like the British Victoria
cross and the French medal of the
Legion of Honor, the Golden Kite may
be won by private and general alike.
A medal of distinction worn by any
member of a command reflects glory
upon the whole command. This is as
II should be and takes away all in
centive to narrow personal rivalry.
Napoleon on certain occasions permit
ted the soldiers of an elite corps to
carry the eagles taken from captured
battlefiags mounted upon the STATS of
their own banners.
