THERE ARE PATRIOTS OF
PEACE AS WELL AS WAR

Remember what Sherman said about war? It also
applies to Independence day and the popping, roaring,
cracking, whooping, exploding that drives some folks al
most to insanity and means that we are a nation OF
patriots and are so glad of it that every year We burn
tons Of powder and MAIN. mutilate and cripple between
4'OOo and 1900 human beings-mostiy boys.
And the popular idea of patriotism is war. We are
glad we fought or that our ancestors fought, and the hair
that we can fight again and that the foreigners from Lon
don Town to Vladivostok had better keep off the toes of
your Uncle Samuel. Huh!
AL right. The navy is growing and we are spending
millions for target practice and more millions for great
guns. But let's hope hard that there will never be another
war, and that widows and orphans will never again he
made in a strife with other nations or at home. God
grant It, Is the prayer of the millions.
A patriot isn't necessarily a soldier. A man doesn't
nave to storm a fort to prove that he loves his country.
That kind Of bravery is fine. 1t gets into the papers and
there is a thrill of pride even in the later days when flow
ers are strewn on graves and women in black weep.
But don't you forget that there are more patriots to-
day than ever before. There are millions of them. They
are behind counters and in shops; they are running loco.
motives and tilling farms. They are not thinking much
about war. They have no hatred in their hearts.
And how is it that they are patriots?
Because they are trying to do their full duty as Am
erican citizens. That is how.
They toll till their backs are stopped and their hands
gnarled and knotted. They rear homes and honor good
women. They bring up children and educate them. They
do not hesitate to deny themselves TO the end that those
who come after them shall find greater opportunity and
Mi a better place in the affairs Of the world than did their
parents.
They are the fathers and mothers Of progress. They
are the bone and blood and snew that make the nation
strong. They are the living exponents Of charity, decency
energy and human love. and they are stronger than the
combined armies and nayies of the world.
And so, while the explosions in memory of 76 shake
the earth. be glad that you are a worthy member OF that
great army-The Patriots OF Peace.
God guide them all.

DRAGGED to Death.

Meager particulars, only, have
reached the city concerning the
death of Jose Garcia, a 1~4-year-old
boy, says the Las Vegas Optic. 1t
appears that he was riding a frac-
tious horse, and was in some way
thrown from the animals back. The
lads foot caught in a stirrup and he
was dragged to his death. His body
is said to have presented a most
shocking sight. 1t was feaIfully mar.
gled, literally torn into shreds, and
the ground along which the wild
horse had run at a high rate of speed
vas besmeared with blood.
The accident befell the young man
while on a visit to his grandmother,
who resides some distance out from
Las Vegas. The death of the boy is
a severe blow to his mother. 1t is
said that her husband cruelty de-
serted her some months ago, Leaving
five child en- dependent upon her for
support, n of whom, a girl of 10,
is totally blind.
The boy had reached the age when
he was some assistance to his mother,
who takes in washing in order that
her forsaken and nearly forgotten
family may be barely supplied with
only the necessities Of life.

FOR CUBA llsRe.

There is a paper published at Madrid, Spain, called
Espana Economical y F1nanciera. This paper recently
discussed the Improvement of Cuba since freed from
Spanish rule. Among many items of interest, The Citi-
zen quotes the following, from a translation OF the article
made by the department of labor and commence;
"n 1894. under the co onial regime, there were in the
island 9O4 public schools and TAO private schools. Ac-
cording to the recent message OF President Palma there
were in the Republic in 1904, 3,472 primary schools and
~ special schools, a total of 3,544. This number subse-
quently rose to 1905. In other words, independence has
uuadrupled the number of primary public schools, the IN.
crease having been particularly marked in the rural dis
ricts. In 1895 under colonial regime, the number OF
pupils was 3e.s0s. In 1904, under republican regime, the
number OF pupils in attendance was 12OIOOO."
"For a quarter of a century the Spanish administra-
ton kept planning a railway between Santa Clara and
Santiago de Cuba. Under republican government a prt
vate company, the Cuba Railroad company, has estaohsh.
ed railway connection between the east and the west OF
the island in two years and a half. Without independence
the 435 mics of the Central railway, the sure vanguard OF
a period OF prosperity, would not exist"
During the last period of our dismal rule the trade
balance was regularly against the island. In 1908, under
independence, the exports rose to $7S,4S6,4Os, while the
imports were s67,o77,67O. In 1899 the adverse balance
was $22,0 600, 900.
.The yellow fever was a chronic reproach to our
colonial administration. A few months OF hygiene ana
sanitation during the American Intervention did more FOR
the island than the power of Spain had done In four cen
turtles"
aThese comparisons are for from fattering to our
co,onizing methods and to our public men. In order that
Cuba might lken herself to the great modern nations IN
hygiene. instruction, governmental mechanism, INDUS
trial DEVELOPMENT, ETC., she had to escape from our sway.
Had she continued subject to Spain, she would still De
afflicted With the troubles from which she suffered De-
fore the revolution"
The wonder is that a paper in Spain could see these
sbinps and much the greater wonder that 1t would dare
TO say them.

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

One hundred and Twenty-Five years ago today, was
signed and proclaimed to the world the American Deciara-
ton of independence. It took SEVERAL years OF war; suner'
ing and sorrow, of sacrifice of men and means, 10 make
the declaration good; but that declaration itself Marked
the mightiest stride ever made, either before or since, IN
the evolution of the manhood of man and the develop
ment of the rights and liberties of the individual.
1t seems to us old and trite and self-eyident that al
men are created free and equal before the law and In the
inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit OF happi-
ness; that the powers of government depend upon the
consent of the governed; and so with the other profound
truths the document contained.
These seem to US commonplaceisms today; but when
that document proclaimed them 129 years ago today, they
sstounded the world. And ever since they have been rev
erbating among the nations, setting the thrones OF Kings
rocking upon their foundations, and topping tyrany and
despotism to the earth.
At the time that declaration was made, there was not
a constitutional government in Chr,stendom. Today
Russia is the last remaining relic of barbarism.
