What the Fourth of july
Means.

A group of grave, worried men, gath
cred IN hall at Philadelphia, Pa, Is6
years ago, July 4th. They were grave
because they were called upon to decide
the whole future destiny of a nation.
Ihey were worried because the penalty
for such work as they had in hand was
death.
They were the council called together
from all over the country to decide
| whether America was to remain a down.
trodden, unlustly prosecuted British
province. or should become a free and
independent nation. On their decision
hung our country's fate.
During the years since Americas
hrst discovery England had little by
little, won from France and the other
powers the lions share of the control
OF the continent. The thirteen English
colonies scattered along the Atlantic
Coast had grown strong and prosperous.
10 these colonies rather than to the
mother country ITSELF was due Eng
lands supremacy on the western hem
lsphere, for they fought her battles, ex-
plored and cultivated her wilderness and
swelled her revenuee.
In return as the years passed on
England had done less and less for her
American colonists. She had reduced
to the rank of subsidiary provinces the
land that their life blood and life work
had conquered. She had sent out incom-
petent men to govern them. She had
tried to crush them with unjust taxes.
She allowed them no voice in their own
government.
Men whose heroism had carved a home
and an embryo nation out of savage,
hostile forest land, were not the sort to
submit forever to such ignominy. For a
long time they sought TO appeal to Eng
lands justice. When these appeals we're
in VAIN, they tried to bring the mother
country to her senses by armed resist
ance.
AT last, however. nothing remained but
the choice between slavery and absolute
independence. Delegates from each
of the thirteen colonies met in Phila-
dephia in the early summer of 1916 to
make that choice. And without one
dissenting vote they declared for liberty.
thomas Jefferson, young lawyer
and farmer, drew up paper embod-
ying the colonies defiance OF oppres-
sion and their intention to form nation
for themselves independent of every
| foreign power.
The paper was called the Declaration
of independence. 1t was adopted on
July 4th, 1875.
This was the birthday of the United
States of America. In memory of that
first Fourth of July-the day when we
ceased to be subordinate colonies and
became a free nation-we have ever
since celebrated the anniversary.
When one remembers all that the date
really means and all that 1t commem-
CRATES there should surely be as much
room in every American heart for graf
itude and patriotism as for mere racket
and fun, Albert Payson Terhune in the

improvements on the Emmlts-
burg and Jefferson Pike to
Begin at Once.

Following the recent inspection trip
over the pixies about Frederick under
the control of the State Roads Com
mission by Chairman Tucker and Chief
Engineer Uhler, Improvements and
repairs will start to some of the free
roads at once. Mr.. f. w. Miles, super
intendent for the State Roads Com
mission, arrived in this city recently, and
has been busy making preparations for
the repairs to the Emmitsburg Pike,
which was recently taken over by the
State. 1t is expected that the work will
start in a few days.
The improvements that are outlined
should place the road in a better condi-
ton even than it is now. Some of the
machinery for the improving of the
road bed has been here for several DAYS,
the road machine being shipped here
last week MIR. John T. Best, near this
city, has secured the contract for sup
plying the teams and other accessories
to the superintendent who will have
personal supervision over all the work
in this county. Recently he was secur-
ing employees to start on the work as
soon as possible.
AS the commission is anxious to re
move many of the breakers and the
cutters in the roadway, considerable at
tention will be devoted by the workmen
to this part OF the repairs. Besides this,
the bed will be resurfaced in parts and
the side drains and the cuverts will be
cleaned. The workmen will also be
employed cutting the grass along the
side of the pike and the trimming of
the trees. II will take several months
to complete the work on the Emmits-
burg Pike. 1t is thought that work will
start at Worman's Mill
Mr. Miles said recently that the COM
mission expected 10. make some repairs
to the jefferson Pike and also to the
Baltimore Pike in the near future, but
they had not definitely decided when
the work would be commenced. 1t is
| likely that the work on the Jefferson
! Pike will be done simultaneously with
! the Improvements on the Emmitsburg
| Turnpike No action has yet been
taken, but If is expected that an an
/ nouncement will be made in short
while.
People i'll the vicinity will be more in
terested in the repairs to the Baltimore
Pike, or the old Frederick Pike as it
is generally conceded that this is in
much worse condition than either the
Emmitsburg or the Je fferson road. Mr..
Miles said that he did not know Just
what appropriation had been set apart
for the improvements to the roads in
this county, but gave the impression
that while the roads would not be COM
| pletely made over, as some people have
had the impression, the repairs should
greatly improve the roads and beautify
the pixies considerably.

Frederick Railroad Company Is
sue More Bonds.

For the purpose of making the contem-
plated Improvements to their system, the
Frederick Railroad has been authorized
by the Public Service Commission to issue
$50 first mortgage five per cent gold bonds
of 81, 900 each.
About May H. the railroad company
filed an application to the Commission to
be allowed to issue the bonds. This is
the third application of the company for
bonds. The first time 557 bonds were
issued and the proceeds were used in con-
solidating the railroad companies. The
next issue was I67 and now they have
permission for IS6 more which, when
sold, will make an aggregate of $50 out.
standing bonds.
The company in its petition stated that
the work contemplated prior to the issu-
ance of the last set OF bonds has been
done, but in purchasing the equipment
there was shortage of $4,000. In the
improvements which are now under way
in Frederick and elsewhere it is estimat-
ed that about $50, 900 more will be neces-
sary or a total of over SI4o. .ooo With
the money which will be obtained from
the sale OF these bonds the company will
be enabled to complete the improvements
which il has undertaken and the railroad
will be on basis which will be compare
BILE to any other electric road in the coun-
try.
The Commission heard the petition on
May 2o On that day President Emory
L. Coblentz, Chief. Engineer Oscar B.
Coblentz, and Auditor S. H. Bennett ap.
peared before the Commission and were
represented by Robert P. Graham, of the
Baltimore bar. While the Commission
held the matter under consideration al
the time, yet it was understood that they
were favorable to granting the petition
So the recent order Of the Commission
caused no surprise.

Troubles come to all Of us. The past
is strewn with broken expectations and
1nconsolable griefs. Death has left its
shadow across almost every hearthstone
and its constant ravdges ever approach
ing nearer to us fill the bravest spirits
with terror and dread But to us the
rainbow of hope has been ever present.
We have never believed that existence
was purposeless. The same all prevail
ing Power, whose handiwork jeweled
the heavens with stars, who leveled the
plains, who lifted up the mountains and
taught the rivers to run down to the sea,
designed our being and contemplated
our destiny.

The earliest suggestions of stars as a
device for the American flag is found
in poem published in the Massachu-

is the line, THE American ensign now
sparkles like star" The first instance
known OF the use of the thirteen stripes
upon an American banner is found upon
a standard presented to the Philadelphia

is now in possession of the troop.

Report of the Western Maryland
Railroad Shows a Decrease.

The report of the Western Maryland
Railroad Company for the month Of
April shows a decrease in both gross
and net income. The operating revenue
decreased S66, 2o6 as compared with the
same month of last year, while the net
operating income decreased $64, oSo.
The unfavorable showing on the part
OF the Western Maryland Railroad for
the month of April was due to the stag
nation Of the coal market. which pre-
vailed during that month. The mines
from which the road draws large por-
ton of its tonnage were run on short
time, and there was marked falling off
in the movement Of coal traffic over the
