THE NATIONS BIRTHDAY.

The one hundred and thlrtS-nl'n
anniversary Of the Declaration OF IN.
denendence which called the unl.eo
States into existence finds the natAoh
then created among the greatest pow
arg Of the world. The weak and de-
spised colonies of that day have grown
into a mighty nation. courted anu
battered by all governments. History
has few parallels to the spread IN d
century and a third from the people
v,ho then fringed the Atlantic coast
into A mighty and homogeneous ma
ton extending from the Atlantic 10
the Pacific and reaching out to insular
possessions across both oceans.
Such a birthday is we'll worth ceie-
mating. But the true celebration is IN
considering and intoxicating the quail
ties which have caused this wonder
IN, expansion and which, If main
tained, will make u country SUN
greater. To celebrate an event with
mere noise Is puerile. To think what
its results have meant in the past and
the meaning they have for the future
1s the true commemoration. If we
study the struggle for national exist
Ance in its conception, for amp
we shall see that it was founded IN
the devotion OF the common people 70
self government and liberty under the
Law. II we study the growth OF the
nation we shall find II due to the joint
efforts of a frugal. industrious and pa
triotic population inspired by the
same devotion. We have had our
share Of extravaganza. political self
interest and sophistries. which were
handicaps to our progress. and over
which the underlying forces Of popu-
lar freedom and justice TO all classes
have earned the imposing triumph.
II is also instructive to remember
that III pivotal struggles of the ma
ton nave been against different forms
OF the sam evil. It's birth came in
the theories of the fight against the
privilege on which nlonarchical and
a]ristocratic governments are founded.
The CONFUSION at the middle OF Its
present life was evoked ove the privi-
lege of n race to hold another IN
bondage. Now We are involved over
the illegal but none the less vital priv
ilege Of certain interests OF classes to
control the machinery If
and industry. and through them to
rule the people. 1t Is not without per
Thence that while each Of these fights
against privilege was attended and OBJ
served by efforts at compromise, and
always called out protests against de
stroying prosperity" by radical acts,
the event proved that the only way to
get rid Of unjust privilege is to wipe
it out.
These are not the only reflections
that are pertinent to the day. Every
thing that leads old and young to con
slider the things that make for ma
tional merit Is an appropriate celebra-
ton. Public manifestations that In
cite such thoughts are also timely. But
the occasion 10 M that. tempered
with thought or true patriotism. is
more truly honored than is possible
when given over to exclusive hullaba-
loo and detonation.

Minneapolis. July president Ed
mund Pennington of the 500 line,
whose company operates extensive
mileage in Wisconsin, in the
statement that has yet emanated from
any railroad president in the north

monwealth that lies east Of Minnesota.

but Is going backward. He said that
eventually wealth and population loss
es would show in Wisconsin statistics
and the people Of the state would
realize that the attacks Of politicians
upon business which they had permit
TED to go on were having serious eff
feet upon the prosperity of the state.

IN the recent past we put between S.
900. 600 and $4,000, 900 for improve
consin so far as voluntarily investing
any money in new lines in that state
is concerned.
The people Of Wisconsin do not vet
know it themselves. but the state Is
going backward and not forward.
They are blind to what is going on
They will find out about it some day
er matter that is reflective of what is
now going on along. The state
is not only failing to keep UP with the
progress of other states, west and
south and east Of 1t. but in many parts
is actually falling behind in popula-
ton and per capita wealth. It is not
an inviting field for railroad invest
ment. The railroads are harrassed
more in Wisconsin than in any other
state that we operate in. It is due to
a state Of public mind. and has been
brought about by political ~agitators.
Some day the results will show in fgf-
ures Of economic changes Of the state
during the existence Of this public
state Of mind. and the results will not
be favorable.

The independence Bell

There was tumult in the city,
In the quaint old Quaker town,
And the streets were rife with
people
Pacing restless up and down
People gathered at the corners.
Where they whispered each to
each.
And the sweat stood on their
temples
With the earnestness Of speech.
AS theh leak Atlantic currents
Lash the wild Newfoundland
shore.
So they beat against the state
house.
So they surged against the door.
Ahd the mingling of their
voices
Made a harmony profound
IN the quiet street of Chestnut
Was all turbulent with sound.
So they surged against the
statehouse.
While all solemnlv inside
Sat the continental
Truth and reason for its guide.
CeI SlmTle SCROLL debating,
Which, though simple it might
be.
Yet should shake the cliffs OF
England
With the thunders Of the free.
Far aloft in that high steeple
Sat the bellman, old and gray.
He wa weary of the tyrant
And his iron sceptered sway,
So he sat with one hand ready
On the clapper of the bell,
When his eye could catch the
signal.
The long expected news to tell.
Will they do it?" dare they
do it?"
See! See! The dense crowd
quivers
Through all its lengthy line

CONVENTION AND CANDIDATE

The length TO which the democratic
national convention has been drawn
out enables US at this distance V to
take a fairly accurate Of both
the work Of the convention and It's
candidate. It can hardly be claimed
that a candidate who represented in
the deliberate judgment Of the people
Q fourth Of the convention on the first
ballo. could within four days become
the unanimous choice. Governor Will
sons nomination represents an ex-
pediency in politics. II our recollec-
ton is correct. no convention in any
party has eve reached the number OF
ballots taken at Baltimore by half.
Wilson became the beneficiary OF the
demand for results.
It is not unfair to say that the
nomination represents the exhaustion
rather than the deliberation Of the
convention; it's indifference rather
than its judgment. Exhausted by a
week Of nerve-racking ordeals under
weather conditions that were intoler-
able, the delegates were determined

That Governor Wilson is a maj Of
unblemished character, high integrity
and great scholarship can not be de-
MED. But these things alone are not
the elements necessary to successfully
guide the d%estinies Of the greatest re-
public on earth through the vicissi-
tudes of an average administration.
That he comes from a university adds
nothing to his qualifications. Men
who have given their time to books
alone without the practical expert
ence Of life are not thereby fitted for
positions which demand the practical

dogmas and warped with theories.

Wilson Refuses to
Give Out Letters in
Baking Powder Case

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2s.-scoretary Of
Agriculture Wilson today denied n request
OF DR.. Wiley. head OF the pure food board.
that all the correspondence In recent
baking powder decision be made public.
The request was made by DIR. Wiley be-
cause OF the charge against him by the
editor Of a food publication who declared
that in the baking powder decision Dr.
Wiley acted at variance with his Oft
repeated statement that In cases Of doubt
he always gave the doubt 10 the public .
The editor claimed DR.. wiley's baking
powder decision let the public take alt
the risk because otherwise Il might have
involved or embarrassed the baking
powder trust" Dr. Wiley recommended
that case against a certain baking
powder company be placed In permanent
abeyance. although examination had re-
vealed small quantity OF lead. about
two one-thousands Of per cent in the
product.
Secretary Wilson said nothing would be
made public in regard TO the matter until
after the board had reported.
