INDEpENDANCE DAY.

Some of the anniversaries Of great
occasion in the history of our grand
and glorious nation may fade and
pale into wrath of their former
selves as time passes, but one at
least is never doomed to such fate
So long as the Creator permits our
country to exist, so long will the an
niversary of its birth ever be dear
to the heart of the American. For
him, the Fourth of July has mean
ing and environment, not to be ap-
preciated by an alien nor capable
of Interpretation by any but a fell
low American.
Down through the long years, so
filled with succession of events
that have placed the United States
on equal plane with the elder ma
tons, comes the memory Of that
first natal day, when handful Of
dauntless men, had the temerity to
stand for liberty of a kind the world
has never before known. Since that
first momentous Fourth, seach recur-
ring observance of the day has found
new laurels added to Columbia's
wreath.
One must indeed be lacking in vi
tai impulses who finds himself I'M
able to join in the spirit of indie
tendance day, and be thankful that
over his head the Stars and Stripes
are flying, and he is protected by the
laws of the land, where freedom and
liberty are the keynotes Of Won
derful national progress. For them.
If by chance there be such, the eagle
must scream in vain tomorrow, they
are objects for our pity. So amid
the din of the explosive and the daz-
zle of the pyrotechnics, let us be
thankful for country, powerful in
peace, irresistible in war and ever
a leader for the right in the univer-
sal battle against the dark forces OF
wrong.

MAKING HAY.

A combination of circumstances
seem to have brought about con-
dition of affairs in the business
world, which following closely on
the heels of last years slump has
caused many to think that the pres
ent relaxation but a continuation OF
that period, but the facts in the
matter seem to imply that this rea-
soning does not apply to conditions
! nthe west or explain them and
probably partially in the east. For
the latter section, presidential year
is no doubt to great extent re-
sponsible for the lack OF activity in
Industrial circles.
Out west the situation shapes it
self somewhat differently The cleo
ton of president may in some part
be responsible for slight falling
on, but another and better reason
and one much more fattering to the
west, finds expression in the great
army of men at work in the fields
this side of the Mississippi, getting
what promises to be a bumper crop
in shape for the market
a little later, even the most hard
ened pessimist, will have to fall in
line and stop his dire forebodings,
for only series of calamities can
keep the west from reaping gold
en- harvest this autumn. Even
now Duns and Bradstreets, those
sensitive barometers of trade condi-
tons report healthy increase in
western commercial fields, at time
when eastern conditions are station
airy. y
This Is but another example of
the changed positions the two sec
tons OF the country now occupy.
Formerly the west stood subservient
to do the bidding of the lordly east,
but fortunately for both, that time
has gone, and the west stands on it's
own resources, and need no longer
feel the yoke of eastern manipula-
tors Of finance.

-Four Hours Sleep Enough.

after all, sleep Is only habit;
there Is nothing to prove that men
really need it," Thomas A. Edison
said the other day to a New York
Times reporter. Men first learned
to sleep because when darkness came
they had nothing else to do. Through
the ages their descendants, doing
likewise, made sleep a custom-a
matter of course. But If men had al
ways lived in a land of perpetual
light and sunshine, don't suppose
we would sleep at ALL
The famous inventor backed up
the idea by telling Of practical test.
1t was not his own ability to live with
out sleep As is we'll known, Mr.. Edi-
son limits himself to four or flva
hours sleep in twenty-four. He said
that he had not slept more than
Ave hours a night for forty years.
Much Of that time he averaged on
" four hours. Nor was 1t the case
of his wife which he mentioned In
cidentally. Mrs. Edison. he said
sleeps only five hours night and
the habit seems to agree with her
The test he described involved near:

Republican State Convention to be
in Crawford's Hands.


Sioux Falls, June 30.-Advices
from the progressive republican
headquarters at Huron state that
the republican state convention at
Mitchell, July IA, will be controlled
by the progressives. 1t is predicted
that the progressive delegates will
number not less than 265 of the. to-
tai of 4S9. This will be almost pre-
lcisely the same division as in the
April convention, when the progress
sives had 266 delegates.
While the Mitchell convention will
hardly, under the state primary law,
have the power to nominate a sue
cessor for Congressman Parker, in
the second session Of the Sixtieth
congress, 1t is altogether likely the
body will give some expression upon
the subject. 1t is likely the pro-
gressives will show their good faith
as supporters of the primary system
by recommending Eben w. Martin
for the vacancy created by Parker's
death.

Two Land Thieves.

1t cost the government oil the
United States $4S,360 TO secure the
conviction of two men on the charge
of stealing public lands in Califor
mia. Four men, Frederick A. Hyde,
Joost H. Schneider, John A. Benson
and Henry C. Dimond, were put on
trial April l, and the hearing was
concluded only this week After de-
liberating seventy-four hours, the
jury brought in a verdict convicting
Hayes and Schneider and acquitting
Benson and Dimond.
The trial was continued several
times because the government had
no money with which TO obtain wit
nesses from the Pacific coast. Con-
gress early last winter appropriated
100000 for the purpose and nearly
200 were brought from California
and Oregon to testify. And only after
this amount of effort has the gov
eminent succeeded in establishing,
in the case of two men, what has
been matter of general statement
incident is commentary upon the fact
that it is more difficult to convince a
jury than the public of the guilt of
some men.
Hyde and Benson are the princi-
pals in these cases. Both are rated
as mllionaires in San Francisco and
both have been called the leaders of
the bold landgrafting going on in
decade
II was from Hyde and Benson that
the Oregon grafters learned the up
to-date methods OF grabbing great
sections of public lands intended for
homesteaders. A single count in the
