FRIDAY. JULY 8. 1907.
THE FOURTH OF July.

Our ancestors might have picked
out q different day for the birth Of
our nation but they didn't and so We
have to make the best OF 1t. Some.
time late In the Fall after the first
rains had settled the dust and
sweetened up the vegetation and the
crops were all safety gathered In,
would have been much nicer but the
Fourth Of July 1t WAS and apparently
ever will be. We all celebrate after
our own peculiar temperaments. The
farmer with wife and children. come
into town and get sorefootod. wander
ing over the hard psvements and the
city man goes into the country where
the ants get into bis picnic grub and
he gets beautifully stung with poison
oak. 1t Is anything for q change.
Some people even wait for the
Fourth Of July to get drunk and
Fourth does not pass without their
getting into that condition where
they can see anything from boa
constructor to garter snake. But the
Individual who enjoys the Fourth the
most Of all is the small boy who
gets up at five O'Clock in the morning
and who thinks that noise is the chief
end and aim Of the Fourth of July.
You cant make fire crackers too big
for him and If it keeps on the cannon
cracker will soon be powerful enough
to crack cement pavement. But
thereIis another side to the Fourth of
July that too few of us look upon aud
that is the view taken by the original
founders Of our Republic. To them
it was nothing frivolous. 1t was not
n time to be spent in dancing and
drinking ice cream sodas but time
for serious matters. Ii was no boys

the age of twenty -one years and are
to be free, moral agents.
Whatever their conduct, they have
gone into ito pen eyed and no one is
to blame but themselves. 1t seems
that a man should try to
retainh is wife's affections at the
point of revolver, but they seem to
do it. Oftentimes the husband is as
much to blame as anyone and when
a woman goes out of her home for her
love and affection, there is generally
a good reason. for it. of course the
most sensible thing to dc. would be for
all parties concerned TO just quit or
to get divorce but then who of us
is sensible in the face of this greatest
of primitive instincts. When John
Ruskin the greatest Of English critics
found that the affections Of his wife
had been placed elsewhere, he stepped
back and gave her up. But your
American would have got out his six
shooter and a triple plated tragedy
would have resulted. But the law
Of suggestion is a curious thing and
for some months to come we may
expect to read of the unwritten law
and its victims :. then will come the
reaction and the public mind will run
to the other extreme.

A SUGGESTIVE EDITORIAL.

The Portland Oregonian of June 81,
had = very suggestive editorial en-
titled East and West" which was
based on an article in Appleton 3
magazine for July. 1t discussed the
competition that Is just commencing
between the East and the West and
the possibilities Of the Japanese as
representing the East coming out the
victor. Japan has come to 1.-THE fore
at . time Of great material and intel
lectual progress and being = people Of
great adaptability, she is picking out
all that is best In our civilization and
casting the chan by the wayside.
Having discarded all the ideals Of her
past life, she is not hampered and
restrained by conservatism. The Gre
CONAN goes on to show that In re-
ligion the Japanese are becoming the
exponents Of intellectual freedom
and are picking out the best in all
religions. They are in the search
for truth and have no prejudioes to
be irritated on finding it. On the
economic side again, they are develop.
ing along lines that the American
seems fearful of entertaining. The
Japanese government is becoming
one great trust OF the people. The
hand of the state 10 everywhere in
evidence; steamship lines, railroads
and industries of all descriptions.
And with.this system of CENTRALIZED
industry, the competitive individu-
alism Of the Western world is bound
to 20 down. A third advantage
by this writer in Appleton, is
the centralized form of government
which gives increased governmental
efficiency. We cannot but admit that
all OF this will give the Japanese
great advantage for we see that il has
done the same in our own case, One
reason that the American business
man and manufacturer can undersell
his competitors is his readiness to
adopt new methods and machinery
and cast aside the old japan is do.
Ing that IL yy'igion, economies ami
politics and is time that we bestir.

ANY ORDINARY PRISONER.

We sometimes wonder what Is the
matter with our body polite and why
corruption and disrespect for law
exists in high places, but an item
of last week goes long way towards
making it plain that 1t Is our own
fault. In the newspaper reports Of
the Yale. Harvard boat race was an
account of the arrest of Mr.. Harri.
man, the railroad magnate, for
violating some of the rules governing
the conduct of spectators and the item
went ON to state: "Mr. Hartman
saw no more of the race but was de-
tsined as any ordinary prisoner
aboard the Graham until after the
race" Now any plain American
citizen may well inquire: ''Why
shouldn t he be detained as any ordi-
nary citizen3 Is his person sacred
and above the law and shall the rest
of us have to kDuokle at his mere
beck and calll" The enforcement of
law should be the same. no matter
whether the offender be rich or poor /;
high in official position or q scaven-
ger Of the streets. Yet the old bar
bario spell still clings to the most OF
MS that there Is something sacred
about wealth and power. The
chances are that II the rash lieuten.
ant who ordered the arrest had
known who 1t was, he would have
thought twice before doing 1t.
Another example is before our eyes ut
the present time. John d. Rookie
feller Is evading the service Of sum
mons at the home Of his daughter In
Ohio. We read how a search light
plays nightly over the ground and
that guards patrol all the walks and
to the house. Now sup.
pose 1t was some poor Irishman who
was wanted for witness. Do you
think they would get him? OF course
they would. He would have his door
caved in about his ears in jiffy and
would very likely get a taste Of
club for his temerity but
John d. is not poor Irishman and
we all look on and take it as mat.
ter of course that wealth enables
any one to have a contempt for the
law. What the United States needs
more than anything else is a return
TO some of the Puritan spirit that
prompted our early forefathers.
When we catch millionaire violat

hing above the law. Lots of people
ire clamoring for more law to protect
themselves from the rapacity of pre-
iatory wealth but there are laws in
1lenty at the present time. Only they
hould be enforced with impartiality.
That alone would remedy a great
many of our present troubles. "
