THE FOURTH OF JULY.

In the midst of the general noise and
merrymaking of today, while we amuse
ourselves for the moment in the various
ways that have come to be incident to the
"Glorious Fourth" it may be well to
give just passing thought to the day it
self-what it commentaries.
In the business center of the city of
Philadelphia, flanked by structures SO
commanding as to dwarf its appearance,
but not obscure its real architectural
beauty, stands Independence hall, the
real cradle of liberty of the republic.
God be thanked that it has thus long
been preserved, shrine to which mil
lions of Americans have turned venerat-
ing eyes!
In an upper chamber of this building,
scarcely larger than a modern lodge hall,
assembled during the early summer OF
1916 circle of men whose names were
to be immortalized by their acts, not the
least of which was their signing of doc
ument setting forth the grievances of the
colonies they represented, suffered at the
hands of the mother country, recounting
the efforts made at Cancellation, the re-
bluffs received, and their final determine
4 ton that for their own welfare as peo
pie it had become necessary to dissolve
the political tie with Great Britain ant
make the colonies free and Independent
states.
This action was not taken hastily, TO
it was known to be of most serious i'm
port. 1t came as the slow growth of al
idea, at first entertained by few only
and was not precipitated by any suddel
event, even the existence of hostilitie
that had already begun. The Revoluticl

The Union Signal publishes large
hslf-tone cut of quite decent looking
fellow, frames it in mourning border
and follows it with long roast of which
the following is the introduction
''Fair Haven, June 2S-Windy Smith,

bones with hot air attachment that gas
bagged itself into the 4th vice presidency

Yet the Signal wonders why sympathy
with the denunciatory methods adopted
by some of labor's representatives is MOI
more general.

Reforming by Work.

That was rather startling testimony
to the reformatory power of honest labor
when several of Sheriff Tracy's temper
airy boarders, whom he had put to work
for the city as county charges, returned
to the job after their sentences had ex-
PRED and asked for work from the city

The committee appointed to overhaul
the ventilation in the state house has be-
gun its duties, which are important, in
view of the unsanitary and unhealthful
conditions that prevail, especially in the
two assembly halls, while the legislature
is in session. For some unexplained rea-
son, the air in these chambers becomes
foul, depressing and almost uncomfortable
after short time, and several cases of Sc
we're illness, and it is thought even one or
two deaths, have resulted from, or been
contributed to, by reason thereof.

Our neighbor, Norwich University,
graduates a class of clean-cut, soldierly
young fellows today who will not be true
to their bringing-up if they do not turn
out to be the best kind of citizens and an
honor to their alma mater. Some of them
are Vermonters, many of them come from
elsewhere, but one thing is certain, they
will take into their future lives a piece
of Vermont's Spartan integrity and some
of Vermont's sound good sense. They're

a PECULIAR FISH.
The Turbot's Ball and Socket Eye
of Black and Gold.

The TurbOt's Ball and Socket Eye
of Black and Gold.
Lying limp and Shiny on a fishmon-
gers slab, or dry and sandy in the fish
wives baskets, the turbot is, perhaps,
the least interesting Of fish. When
swimming in an artificial sea or lying
on the sandy bottom it is the most at
tractive of all of the deniZenS of this
mock ocean and whether at rest or in
motion has an air of vigilance, vivacity
and intelligence greater than that of
any of the normally shaped fish. This
Is in part due to its habits and in part
to the expression of the fat fish's eye.
This, which is sunk and invisible in the
dead fish, is raised on kind of turret
in the living turbot, or sole, and set
there in a half revolving apparatus,
working almost as Independently as
the "ball and socket eyes of the cha
meleon. There is this difference, how
ever, in the eye of the lizard and of the
fish-the iris of the chameleon is mere
pinhole at the top of the eyeball, which
is thus absolutely without expression.
The turbot's. or butts" eyes are
black and gold and intensely bright.
with none of the fixed, staring stupid
appearance of ordinary fishes eyes. 1t
lies upon the sand and jerks its eyes
independently into position to survey
any part of the ground surface. the
water above, or that on either side at
any angle.
If it had light rays to project from
its eyes instead of to receive, the effect
would be precisely that made by the
sudden shifting of the jointed appa-
ratus which casts the electric light
from q warship at any angle on to sea,
sky or horizon. The turbots, though
ready, graceful swimmers, moving in
wavelike undulations across the water
or dashing off like fash when so dis
posed, usually lie perfectly still upon
the bottom. They do not. like the dabs
and the founders, cover themselves
with sand. for they mimic the color of
the ground with such absolute fidelity
that except for the shining eye 1t is
almost impossible to distinguish them.
1t would appear that volition plays
some part In this subtle conformity to
environment. for one turbot. which is
blind, has changed to a tint too light
and not at all in harmony with that of
the sand.-London Spectator.

 Why do the Republican leaders re- fuse to enact efficient laws for the regulation of the railways? Because they look at the subject from the standpoint of the railway magnates while the Democrats consider the in terest of the patrons and the interest of the stockholders both of whom have reason to complain of the management of some of our railway systems.

 '.As I may add. the difference in the point of view will explain the differ- ence in the remedies proposed to re- lieve the present financial strfngency. It came from speculation in Wall Street and the Republican leaders have so tied the country to Wall Street that 90. 100000 of people must shfver when the Wall Street spectators get cold. The Republican remedies all provide that the high financiers shall be well paid for acting as guardians while Democratic remedies look to the pro- tection of the depositors and the bus mess of the country.
 A Time Js Ripe.
 The time is ripe flor a Democratic appeal to the Democratic sentiment of the country. There is no doubt that a large majority of the people take the Democratic rather than the aristocrat- tc view of government and of society. All that we have to do Is to convince those who are really Democratic fin sentiment that the Democratic Party can be trusted to be Democratic If en- trusted with power.
