The Fourth of July this year in

was last year. Then there were but
few people and fewer houses in
town, and the Fourth came on Sun

Sunday School and it was attended

four gentlemen. During the Sun.

himself with the exception of the
help rendered him by other cowboy
down the street. The shooting and
yelling was nothing unusual and
did not especially indicate the day
we celebrate. Neither was there
anything in general appearances to
indicate it was Sunday, except that
our printer was drunk, custom he
had on that day of the week. The
change in a year has been a great
one and is hard to realize.

TellIns the Truth Now

Now that the Kansas Colorado
suit has been settled Thomas Benton
Murdoch, the Kansas congressman,
is telling his experiences with Arksn-
sas river forty odd years ago, aud 1t
ia much the same so far as water Is
concerned as today.
"We pulled of our boots, rolled
mn our breeches aud waded the Ar
kansas river at the point where the
old Santa Fe wagon trail came up to
that stream from the east, which is
near Nickerson, little after day
light, in the month of June, 1851,
and shot our first buffalo on the
south bank of the stream. A week
later and on further west to the
mountains, the river was bank full.
In the month of October the same
year, We camped in the bed OF the
Arkansas river at the mouth of Cow
creek. near Hutchinson. There was
no water in either stream-that is
there was none IN evidence-but by
digging about eighteen inches in
the sand. water in abundance was
found. When we crossed to the
south side of the Arkansas the next
morning, we found long pool OF
overflow water close up under the
bank. It was two feet deep in
places, was clear and cold and was
swarming with catfish, suckers, buf-
falo and red horse.
ave put wagon sheets together
and 'seined' the pool, capturing pos
sibly a hundred pounds of fish, which
we ate along with our buffalo meat
that we got that evening on the
North Fork OF the Ninnescah river.
Kansas had its great drouth in 1850,
and that the south wind kicked up a
dust in the bed of the Arkansas river
that year, was to be expected. This
is printed to show that the Big River
went as dry as bone twenty years
before irrigation bitches in Kansas
and Colorado were even thought OF
by the oldest inhabitant, but that did
not prevent the state from giving
three or four alleged lawyers lot OF
money to bring suit against Colo
RADIO for taking the water from the
Arkansas rivsr-wster that it never
had. We have been 30 near the head

Mr.. Roosevelt at vicksburu.

Though he spoke to the people OF
Vfcksburg on a subject Of vital inter-
est to all residents of that region, the
subject Of improving the levees by
federal assistance SO that the terror
Of floods may pass away from a broad
district OF marvellous fertility, Presi-
dent Roosevelt's most striking words
had reference to another matter.
He had been introduced to the great
audience OF Mlssisslppians by the
Yazoo valleys most conspicuous citi-
zen, Congressman John Sharp Will
liams. There in the chief city OF the
Yazoo delta, throughout practically
the whole extent Of which every bale
Of cotton is taxed 81 for levee i'm
provements the people naturally re-
ceived with enthusiasm this declara-
ton made by the chief executive:
"In my next message to congress
shall advocate as heartily as l know
how that the congress now elected
shall take the first steps to bring
about the deep channel way and tho
attendant high and broad levee sys-
tenn which Will make OF these alluVlal
bottoms the richest and most popu'
lous agricultural land not only in this
nation but on the face Of the globe"
But the president said also, and the
public will believe that he spoke
truly:
"Mr. Williams has said that for a
day we can sink all mere party diff
ferences. Since l have been president
| have found that most of the time l
have needed to sink them, because the
differences of party are of small i'm
portance compared to the great funda'
mentals of good citizenship upon
which all American citizens should, be
united"
This Is a lesson which Americans
everywhere ought to learn.

More Favorable Terms for the

In the Philippines ever leave long un.
spoken the wish that congress may
cease listening to the blindly selfish
demands OF the sugar and tobacco in.
forests and give the Philippines more
favorable terms for the admission OF
their commodities to our markets. The
Lake Mohonk conference, which has
Just finished It's annual session, puts
this subject at the head Of that part
OF Its platform which deals with the
Philippines. 1t makes no i%mputations
against congress for It's motives In
the past, and asks in a conciliatory
spirit for nothing more than "a radi-
cal reduction Of duties" when no
doubt its members unanimously be-
lieve that simple Justice requires free
trade in all commodities. II the next
congressional session passes without
action to this end congress will be
more than ever open to accusation for
it's neglect.
The other suggestions OF the o n
ference make together an interesting
program. II asks that special en-
phasis be put on the primary schools
Of the islands, especially with the OBJ
sect OF preparing the pupils for indus
trial occupations. 1t believes that con-
gress could properly appropriate funds
from our own treasury for this pur-
pose. but It thinks that reduced tariff
duties will add to the prosperity OF
the islands, increase taxable property
and taxes and so indirectly provide
the needed funds. Education in the
duties OF citizenship Is ais urged.
As for increased powers Of self
government, 1t contents itself with
this plank: $50 fast as the Filipinos
demonstrate their political capacity,
powers of self-government should be
granted and enlarged" 1t recommends
legislation by congress enabling a
large number Of persons in the islands
TO be naturalized as citizens Of the Is
lands. Planks for the suppression OF
the opium trade and for the perman.
ent suspension Of the coastwise ship
ping act so far as It applies to the
islands are also included.
After praislng the administrative
work Of the officials Of the bureau OF
insular affairs In the war department,
the hope is expressed that this bureau
may ultimately be taken out of the
hands of the wal department and
placed under officials whose expert
ence Is primarily that of civil life.
Most of these suggestions will be
generally commended. Those concern
ing the material welfare Of the Is
lands are In crying need of immediate
adoption.

Rates and Values.

Would the tariff revisionists not
have been satisfied with a reduction
Of 30 per cent. from the Dingley
rates? Would they not have been
satisfied with a reduction OF 20 per
cent? Would they not have been sat
isfied with a reduction of ven Is or
10 per cent? OF course they would.
But they have got the equivalent to
a reduction of anywhere from 20 to
80 per cent. in the e method Of
yaluing imports for dutiable purposes.
Yet they boldly keep on asking for a
revision OF rates. What does the for
eign exporter care for rates when
he ear put his own value on his
