OUR NATIONS BIRTHDAY.

Sunday is July 4th. In conse-
quence Monday will be the noisy
day for Young America, a good
ly number of the "old boys"
joining in.
1t is something to alway re-
member-and the memory should
bring with it a patriotic thrill
that we have a Fourth of July,
a national birthday. Let the
boys make little noise. 1t will
do them good; will remind you
that they are chips off the old
blocks;" that they are patriotic
and propose to grow up with a
love of country which will never
lessen. In the meantime Sun
day, will be a good day for mir
listers to tell of our great land in
patriotic sermons. A little eX-
ortation to patriotism and love
of country won't hurt the older
ones and will do the youth good.
No citizen should allow himself
to become indifferent to the 4th
of July and its commemoration.
1t is our glorious day. Let the
flags wave and the eagle scream!

The Senate has got through
with it's tariff schedule and is
now trying to decide how much
the inheritance tax ought to be.
AS matter of fact it should not
be anything. There should be
found plenty of funds in state

regular punches of politicians to
graft, without taking what some
man has worked a lifetime for
and wishes to to leave to his
children. No state, no nation,
