Progress was rapid until 1775,
when England imposed such unjust
taxes that the colonies began to
prepare for war. On July 4th, 1776
the Declaration of Independence
was adopted, and in 1889 new gov
eminent went into operation.
A move farther to the west was
then instituted which resulted in
the opening of greater area, and
the next great expansion OF territor-
ial area was in the Louisiana pur-
chase in 1903. Then came the Cad
sen purchase in 1853, and in 1867
the Alaska purchase, and by the
treaty OF 1898, which closed the war
with Spain, United States added
several islands to its territory, and
gives us an ownership from ocean to
ocean.
During this great accumulation OF
land, wonderful advancement in
science and industry was being
made, and from the early invention
of the cotton gin in 1898 to the pres
ent day the progress of invention
has been unparalleled.
AS the country has grown in size,
population and wealth, finer and
larger educational institutions have
been the outcome, and as a result
the nation has been bettered In all
lines OF commercial and industrial
progress, and he who has studied
the history Of United States must
realize the immense efforts which
have been put forth by the
government to accomplish so great
an end In America s Progress.

ment exercises of Baraga High
School were held in the Opera
House, when Miss Agnes Theobald,
who comprised the class of 1906, re-
ceived her diploma for efficiency in
her school work during the past
year.
The Opera House was filed with
an interested audience to hear the
exercises, which we're very credit
able to those taking part.
The stage was prettily decorated
for the occasion in the class colors,
red and white. surmounted by the
class motto, Rowing, Not Drift
ing,' in letters OF evergreen, while
the main portion Of the house was
trimmed with wreaths and garlands
of green, with large American flag
in the background, giving 1T all a
very pretty appearance.
The evenings program opened
with a piano solo by Miss May
.Crebassa, and her rendition OF the
selection was indeed pleasing, as
were the two solos by John A.
Cochran, especially so, the solo with
violin obligato, which merited q
hearty applause, and which be
pleasingly responded to encore.

CHEAP ALCOHOL ON THE FARM.

When the bill removing tie tax from alco-
hol which is employed in the industries was be-
fore Congress last spring one of the strongest
arguments advanced in its favor was the prob
ability that it would prove a benefit 10 the
farmer in many ways. One Of the supposed
advantages of the enactment was that sub
sutute for gasolene. as a source or power for
driving farm machinery, would be afforded.
and that the manufacture Of alcohol on a farm
er's premises would be permitted When
it was reported a few weeks ago that the
operation of small stills was impracticable un-
der the provisions Of the new law there was
much disappointment. for if the farmer should
be obliged to buy denatured alcohol instead
Of making il he might not use it at all. 1t
would be folly TO pay more for it than for gaso-
lene, and there is yet no assurance that he
can get it FOR less.
Crediting the rumOr that Gistillation on a
small scale was not yet allowable. Mr.. Hans.
brough introduced bill In the Senate last week
amending the original law $50 as TO authorize
greater freedom. In supporting the measure he
described the methods adopted in Germany TO
prevent frauds, and ii is hard TO see WHY
they might not be safely employed in this
country. farmer, having set up his distilling
apparatus. attaches TO it receptacle of the
kind prescribed by the government Upon this
is placed a seal by a revenue inspector. and
!
presence Of the inspector is forbidden under
a heavy penalty. In this manner the govern
| ment makes it practically certain that the re-
/ moyal Of the seal and addition of the denatur-
| ing compound shall be effected only under the
/ eyes Of ono OF IL officials. These precautions
having been Observed, the farmer is free TO
| do what he pleases with the alcohol
For the belief which evidently inspired the
action OF the Senator from North Dakota there
has been what appeared TO be a good founda-
ton. Remarks on the subject that tended 70
discourage moderate production were attributed
several weeks ago 10 Mr.. Williams the Assist.
ant Commissioner OF Internal Revenue POSI-
Dly ne was not correctly reported or rightly
understood BE that as 1t may, his official
chief now puts the matter in a new light. Mr.
1erkes says that there is nothing on earth TO
| prevent any farmer in the country from going
! INTO tne manufacture of denatured alcohol IL
"he wants TO- and he can do IL on n canitaI of
800 $4,000 or almost any amount he pleases
1T is only question whether it is going TO nav
"him.' OF course, that is a question which the
| farmer must settle for himself but the assnr-
ance Of the Commissioner OF Internal Revenue
that the government will deal with the small
distiller on the same terms as with the large
one is extremely gratifying

INSPIRING EXAMPLES.

Two stories were related in the newspapers
yesterday which no person of sensibility can
read without emotion. One told how the loss Of
nearly four hundred lives ayerted by the
Bleaching of burning steamer on the coast of
Nova Scotia. The other announced the success
of efforts to rescue California miner who had
been imprisoned for more than fortnight by 4
fall of rock. Both illustrated traits of human
nature which 1t is inspiring TO contemplate
The ordeal TO which the officers and crew of
the Strathcona were exposed lasted only
few hours, but they must have seemed like
years. There was much difficulty in finding
suitable place for putting the vessel ashore, but
the captain. pilot and engineers stuck nobly to
their posts, their coolness as well as their cour
age enabling them to perform their duty with
the deliberation on which success largely de-
pended
The release of the miner Hicks called chiefly
for the exercise Of ingenuity and persistence,
but Of courage also, on the part of the men who
undertook the task. It was Of the captive that
stoutheartedness was most demanded, and he
met the requirement splenddly For three days
he was without food or any assurance that his
rescue would even be attempted, and after he
had discovered that efforts were being made to
save him hope and fear must have fought for
mastery in his heart. The fortitude which Hicks
displayed In that long night of doubt should be
an encouragement TO thousands of others In cir
cumstances of peril and despondency.

OF course, there are protectorates and pro-

are seldom thought OF as other than independ-

On the other hand, some protected states can
scarcely be distinguished from colonial posses

classes there is a vast range Just what the
American protectorate over Cuba shall amount

of which needs and conduct, however, the

have affairs In Cuba go on so well as to permit
the protectorate TO be Of the Eghtest and most
nominal description, such as IL was from the
establishment of the Cuban government down
10 the recent Intervention; but In case of need
this country will not shrink from the unwei-

THE cuBAN "pRorEcrnRArr-

The not inapt reminder is given by 1.-THE
Iucha," Of Havana, 10 those who have been
clamoring and indeed intriguing for an "Ameri-
can protectorate" over the island Of Cuba that
- fact such protectorate now exists and has
existed continuously since 1899. That is ouite
true; but II is not all the truth The American
rrotectorate over Cuba dates far back OF 1899
or the war OF 1898. It is more than fourscore
years old. 1t had its origin Immediately after
NE revolutions in Central and South America
which robbed Spain Of all her possessions IN the
western hemisphere save Cuba and Porto Rico
when there was apparent danger that she would
also be deprived Of those two islands, or would

Ihe policy or virtual American protectorat te
over Cuba was formally enUncated by John
Quincy Adams when he said. in 1923. that this
government was considering the use Of force. if
necessary, to prevent the transfer of those ISL
ands In any way 10 any other power than Spain:
ana IL was confirmed two years later by Henry
Nlay when ne announced that the United States
would not permit such a transfer.
That original declaration of policy was rur.ba-

Cuba which they had formerly cherished. There
Is little doubt that If that policy Of the United
States had NOT been promulgated Cuba and
Porto Rico would in some way have passed

ago Practically, 'hen, there has been an Ameri-

TYPHOID FEVER IN PENNSYLVANIA.

Two large cities of Pennsylvania are having
hard experiences with typhoid fever The
trouble in Pittsburg is of long standing but it
is apparently the increase. In the year now
drawing TO a close the number of cases reported
about 5000 is said to be twice that of last
year. The outbreak in Scranton is OF more re-
cent origin. apparently having attained the pro-
portions of an epidemic only within a few
weeks. In both places it is believed that the
local water supply is responsible for the mis-
chief. That Of Pittsburg Is taken from the Allie
gheny, and It's dangerous quality having been
recognized two or three years ago. the munich
pal authorities determined to install suitable
filters. THESE are not yet ready for service. but
there is at least definite prospect Of improve
ment in the situation. The cause of Scranton's
afiiiction is still involved in some uncertainty,
for while the water has come under suspicion
no germs have yet been discovered In it. But
contaminated water is the most common source
OF danger. and that is the probable explanation
OF the present outbreak In Scranton.
Two general methods OF protecting eommunl-
ties against typhoid fever have been adopted In
this country. One is TO filter the water when
there is evidence that sewage gets into ii. The
other Is TO exercise such q supervision over the
area from which the water is obtained that
nothing unwholes0me can get into It, Phila-
delphia, washington and Pittsburg are among
the cities which have followed the first of these
policies. Ihe second is pursued In Baltimore
and New hork, though in this city there has
been a relaxation of vigilance OF late years
which threatens 10 make a resort TO filtration
necessary. In many of the smaller cities no
permanent provision whatsoever has been made
