The grand and glorious Fourth OF
July was celebrated in our midst yes
terday with appropriate ceremonies, a
full and authentic account OF which
appears elsewhere in this issue OF the
Bugle
We are glad that patriotism is not
dead in Bingville We are glad that the
spark of loyalty to the star spangled
gander-we mean the star spangled
banner-still burns in the breasts OF
our most respected citizens, and We
hope it will continue so to burn. 1t is
fitting that the hustling and bustling
town of Bingville should commemorate
this great event once per annum. The
question Of what the Fourth Of July
was for come up in Hen Weathersby' S
store one night last week, and the arg
| iments advanced was menny and curl
ous Hank Dewberry oalkilated that
| the Fourth of July was held each wear
in order to properly celebrate the disco
very Of America Lem Quiggley took
/ exceptions TO this. Lem said 1t was

Washington took the bull by the horns
at the battle of Bull Run. The argi-
fyers got pretty loud until finally Hen

who is quite a historiker said that the
/ Fourth OF July was 10 celebrate the
declaration OF independence. Hen is
right and we are glad to indorse his
statement Hen will load his scales
and has been known to put sand in his
sugar, but it is pretty hard to kctch
him when it comes to historical facts
and figures.
1t is sad to reflect that there is peo-
pie in Bingville who don't know what
the Fourth of July is for, and if YOU
notice them is the ones who always
shoots off the most fire crakerS and get
there fingers burned and hollers the
loudest every time the Fourth comes
round.
We trust that in the future the glo-
rious and unanimous Fourth will be
appropriately celebrated in Bingville by
them as know what it is for as well as
all them who is ignorant like Hank
Dewberry and Lem Quiggley. Let the
screech of the eagle always be heard
in this vicinity on the Fourth Let the
stars and stripes wave over the house
tops. Let the voice Of the fire craleer.
be heard and let us always hereaftei
join in the grand glories OF patriotism
and thus teach our rising generation.
(if we have eny) the glorious lesser
of patriotism. z pluribus unum. on,
and forever, Amen.

A CLEVER THIEF.
His Capture and Sale Of consisn-
nnent of Diamonds.

ment Of Diamonds.
An expert criminal named Raymond
is described by Sir Robert Anderson as
a Napoleon Of crime. The plot which
he devised for the theft Of diamonds
worth $45O,OOO and which lie carried
out with mastery forethought and
address is unrivaled.
Diamonds were habitually sent from
Kimberley to the coast just in time to
catch the mail steamer for Europe.
Were the convoy delayed the gems
were locked up in the postofice until
the next steamer left the harbor.
Raymond. profting by knowledge
Of those simple facts, visited the port
Of departure. He made friends with
the postmaster, learned his habits and
took wax impressions Of his keys. He
then returned to Europe. leaving be-
hind him memory of pleasant man.
ners and good fellowship.
A few months later he was in Africa
again, disguised and unknown. He
made his way up country to the point
where the diamonds had to be carried
across a ferry on their way to the
coast. Unshipping the chain Of the
ferry, he sent the boat downstream.
and the next convoy Of diamonds
missed the mail.
'All that remained for Raymond to CO
was to unlock the safe in the post
Office and go Off with the treasure,
which by fine stroke Of ironical hu-
NOR he presently sold to its rightfui
owners in Hatton garden. This was

Evans UphoIds Reuterdahl.
1t now comes out that prior to the
voyage of the feet to the Pacific Ad-
miral Evans put on record in letter
to ship commanders his opinion that
the armor belt on our battleships is
too low, thus sustaining the main con-
tention Of Henry Reuterdahl in his ar
ticle for McClure's. The language OF
the admiral was as follows: ''It will be
remembered that all our ships are now
Of greater displacements than that of
their original design, and in conse-
quence they not only have an increased
draft Of water, but in the case Of
armored ships their armor belt Is prac-
tically awash at load draft, which
leaves them, as far as protection Is
concerned, but little better than armor.
ed cruisers" Prior the general board
of the navy had recommended the re-
moval of certain weights on the battle
ships In order to raise the armor belt.
Reuterdahl, who has now returned
home after sailing with the fleet, says
that all this vital evidence was ex-
cluded from the senate inquiry.

President Roosevelt's anticipated mes
sage to congress. March 25, making
specific Recommendation Of the legis-
lation imperatively needed by the ma
tion was noticeably devoid Of heated
denunciation and generalization and
was generally understood to represent
basis Of party agreement on which
the coming Republican platform might
be erected by the friends of the admin
istration.
OF chief interest at the moment Is
the part dealing with the amendment
of the Sherman antitrust law and ap-
proving the bill for this purpose intro.
duced in the house by Hepburn Mon.
day Combinations he takes to be a
necessity of the modern industrial
world both among business men and
among laboring men. including farm
ers AS the best method of separating
the good combinations from the bad
ones. the president suggests the plan
Of registration contained in the Hep.
burn bill. For the specific protection
of labor unions and farmer organiza-
tions he would have the right to
strike recognized as legal and like
wise the right of employers to COM
bine and contract with one another
and with their employees. Also should
be explicitly recognized the right Of
the employees to 'seek peaceably to
persuade others to accept their views
and to strike for the purpose Of peacea-
bly, obtaining from employers satisfac-
tory terms for their labor" But the
president is particular to add that
nothing should be done to legalize
either a blacklist or boycott that
would be illegal at common law"
While saying that 1t is the province
Of the house to originate tariff bill,
the president expresses his opinion
that provision for revision of the
tariff should be made by creating a
commission to gather data. He does
make one specific recommendation
that wood pulp be put on the free list
