The widow said nothing. and, after a

Mrs. Catherine Koran deserted by her hus
band after he had become practically 1ncapacated
wage-earner through excessive drinking. The bur
den of clothing and feeding her eight minor children
fell upon her shoulders Awaiting herself of the OPP
portunty of redress from those responsible for her
plight she brought suit against brewer and several
liquor sellers under the dramshop law. Their liquor
had converted Woodworking, industrious into
what she termed "an idle spendthrft' Some of the
older ones of the children (their ages ranged from
three to sixteen years. to work and contributed
their small earnings to the family purse. For four
years the mother has been wagng this unequal battle
against hunger and want. Her suit for damages

the Chicago Tribune is authority for the follow

That the father is entitled to the earnings
of his minor children, and that any service
performed by them in the interest of the
family during their minority is, in the
temptation of the law, the property of the
father, and is considered under the law as
means of support furnished by the father and
if you find that any of the minor children
while living under the fathers roof,
tributed to the support of the family, such
vices and earnings must be considered as
coming direct from the father.
The jury which received that instruction found
the defendants not liable for any damages

father had supported his family"
If this instruction is correct it would seem that
the purpose of the dramshop law is defeated 1t is
clearly intended to protect minor children from suffer-
withdrawn on account of his becoming unable and
unit to provide for them through excessive drinking.
1t appears under such reasoning as given this jury
that all father would have do in order to give the
guilty liquor seller immunity from law and to give
himself easy berth would be to set his minor child
to work-1nake him his proxy the home provider.
The municipal court of Chicago evidently doesn't
agree with this view taken by the circuit court for in
another suit brought by Mrs Koran against the liquor
sellers, one instruction to the jury as follows
The fact that others than the father sup
ported the plaintiff is no Defense and the
plaintiff is not required to show that warnings
given to any person whomsoever not to
sell liquor to Maurice Koran.
The jury which received that instruction assessed
$1,000 damages against the defendants except the
owner of one Of the buildings. That verdict
brought in May l. Until November 20 the attor

municipal court. They asserted that "the verdict lad

THE FOURTH OF
JULY IN HISTORY.

~AHE fourth day of July has had
III significant place in the his
tory of all ages and nations
more so probably than any
other date in the calendar. But the
crowning achievement of this day of
days was reserved for this hemisphere
when on July 4. 17T6, the trumpet blast
proclaiming liberty and equality to all
men was sent re-echoing throughout the
world.
On July 4, 1907, in the battle of
Dorylaeum, in Phyrgia. the Moslems
under Soliman were defeated by the
crusaders. This battle ended the fight
ing in Asia Minor.
1t was on July 4. 1915. that King
John of England was compelled by his
barons to sign the Magma Charta, the
English prototype of our own Declara-
tion of Independence. The American
continent, just north of Florida, in the
year 1884 was discovered on July 4
by Amidias and Barlow, English ex-
plorers and navigators, who sailed
from Sir Walter Raleigh. Formal pos
session was taken for the British
queen. and the land was delivered over
to the use of Sir Walter Raleigh.
Sixty-nine years thereafter, on July A,
the Barebones parliament assembled
at Whitehall, and Cromwell delegated
their chairs to them for fifteen years.
At the instance of the lords the
trade commissioners from the colo

woman. Like most who make
that claim, she was much CIV
en- to vain repetition. She need not
have been. Not even the sourest,
sharpest tempered spinster Of them all
could have accused her of being an old
woman.
Jack could not understand Dorothy's
sudden aggressive independence. He
did not see why any reasonable girl
should prefer to wait on herself and
soil her dainty fingers when there was
great, lazy fellow around who asked
nothing better of fate than to be al
lowed to wait on her all the days of
his life. Time was, and not so very
long ago, either when Dorothy had
shown a most delightful readiness to
accept his services. OF late, however,
change had come over the spirit of
her dream. The dream now, and to
Jack it seemed nightmare, was of In
dependence.
That was in the end of May. Now it
was July /. Jack had written to
Dorothy once or twice, had had one
or two letters in reply. very unsatis-
factory letters, all of them full Of 1.-The
cause" There seemed to be a whole
colony of new women" where Dor
othy was spending the summer. They
held meetings, made speeches, read
copy" to each other, Jack said, for
Jack was newspaper mana Jour
nalist," Dorothy called it. Dorothy's
letters to Jack had been unpleasantly
suggestive Of copy" prepared for
some paper devoted to the interests of
the coming woman. The only one that
had been at all satisfactory was the
last, urging him to accept her mothers
invitation to come out and spend the
Fourth with them.
He found very superior Dorothy,
who considered the firing of crackers
an infantile pastime, fit only for weak
intellects; who made sarcastic COM
ments about people who were pleased
with a rattle, tickled with a straw"
who. when the children had him fast
in their tolls, went off with an un-
pleasantly strong minded looking book
under her arm, anywhere ont of hear
ing of all this detestable racket" who.
in the afternoon did not care to ven
ture on the lake, for there was storm
coming up, and. moreover, she had

ing, when he mildly suggested strolling
over to watch the fireworks, advised
him to wait till woman achieves her
independence and then there will be
some fireworks worth seeing" and who
announced her intention in the mean
while Of celebrating Independence day
by attending a meeting Of new women
in the loft of neighbor's barn.
Then she was called upon to read the
paper that she had prepared that after
noon when she would so much rather
have gone sailing with Jack. 1t was
commonplace little paper. but because
she was in a bitter mood she read 1t
with a bitterness that won her au-
dience. That was the right spirit. said
the next speaker. Men should be made
to consider well the voice of their com
plant. They should be no more able
to close their ears to 1t than to the
nightly reverberations Of the thunder

tai congress adopted the Declara-
ton Of Independence, which pro-
claimed these United States free

pie are celebrating"
The celebration has not changed
much since the 'doin's" that took
place when the people of the "old
thirteen" first heard Of the Declara-
ton and proceeded to make noise
like unto liberty. Philadelphia was
Ie first to receive the news, though
not the first to start the fireworks that
continued throughout July until every
colony had been notified.
1t was on July s, 1776, that the
Declaration was read to large num-
