work, not thinking but what he had
gone and laid down but in a few min

Tho Commoner,

Canning String Beans. -One peel
of beans such as you would use TO
Snaps" string and break into incl
lengths; add enough water to cover
handful Of salt and a cupful of goot
vinegar; put over the fire and lie
come to boil; keep boiling ten min
utes, then pack into jars, use new
rubbers and cover the beans tt
overlooking with the with the water
and vinegar and seal air-tight. Wrar
in brown paper and put away in cool
place.
Another Way.-Prepare your beans
as for the table; break into short
lengths and pack loosely in glass
jars, then fill to overlooking with
cold water; screw on the covers, and
have wash boiler with Stats or a
thick cloth over the bottom, and
stand your jars on this; fill with cold
water in the boiler, enough to cover
the jars; put boiler over the fire; boil
constantly for three hours, having
the cover on the boiler; if the water
seems too much evaporated, fill again
with boiling water from the teakettle.
Let jars stand in the water until cool,
then tighten the tops as much as pos
sible, stand on top end to test for
leakage, and if perfectly sealed, wrap
in brown paper and put away.
Canning Corn.-This recipe was
given some years ago, and has been
repeatedly called for, as it was gener-
ally satisfactory: Nine pints of corn
cut from the cob; one pint of sugar;
half pint of salt; one pint of water;
mix and let stand a few minutes I'M
til the juice rises to nearly cover the
corn; then boil twenty minutes and
seal in glass or tin jars while boiling
not. To prepare for use, soak and
drain off the water until it tastes just
salt enough; then season with a little
butter and cream thickened with a
spoonful of flour; sweeten if liked.
For Chill Sauce-Eight quarts of
'ipe tomatoes, peeled and cut up; ,
hree cupfuls of green peppers, two ,
upfuls of onions, three cupfuls of >
ugar, one cupful Of salt, three pints ;
# vinegar, three teaspoonfuls each of :,
loves and cinnamon, two teaspoon r
uls each of ginger and nutmeg. Chop
he vegetables very fine and boil all b
he ingredients together for three q
ours until quite thick, then bottle -

To color pickles green by harmless b
Methods, the following is said to be

THE LIBERTY BELL MYTH.

Byron said he had stood upon Achilles tomb and
heard Troy doubted-"tme will doubt of Rome "
The marvellous craftsmanship of william Tell has
long since been questioned and book has been
printed bearing the significant title, "The Napoleon
Myth"
All of which reflections are apropos of the fact
that here in the very heart Of the Fourth of July
season local historian of Philadelphia comes for
ward to say that the cracked bell which has been
treasured by the nation for so many years because
it proclaimed liberty throughout the land really had
no part in that historic celebration. Mr.. Joseph
Jackson insists, after examination of all the docu-
mens in evidence, that nothing is known about the
liberty bell except that it hung in the Pennsylvania
State House. No reference was made to it until
1880, when it was referred to in Watson's annals
OF Philadelphia" So little was thought of the So
called liberty bell that when the city council dis
cussed the question of establishing and ordaning
town clock it was part of the plan to give the
''Gberty bell" in part payment.
AS climax of this iconoclasm we are told that the
bell was cracked when it was tolled for the death
Of John Marshall in 1888 This is saddening dis
illusionment to spring upon just at this season of
the year. 1t makes US feel that perhaps Napoleon
was right after all, and that "all history is but a
fable agreed upon"

Singers of Capital
Compete for Prizes

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. July 4-The
twenty-third annual saengerfest of the
Northeastern Saengerbund virtually
closed here last night, when singers
from Boston, Cincinnati Washington,
Baltimore. and Philadelphia competed
for the prizes that are being offered.
The Kaiser prize. statue of Mime
singer. donated by Emperor William In
1900 to the Northeastern Saengerbund of
North America, was the most closely
contested. 1t is the big prize of the
competition, and the five judges heard
the trials while seated in screens. Other
prizes competed for were those offered
in the first, second, third, and fourth
classes
The winners of the various prizes will
be announced tonight at picnic to be
held at Washington Park, just before
the members of the saengerbund leave.
In the afternoon Marie Rappold, OF
the Metropolitan Opera Company, sere-
naded Mayor Blankenburg from city

bers, 100000 males Of voting age in the United
Kingdom. Of this number under the existing laws
100000 are unenfranchised 1t is calculated that
the new measure will enfranchise 25o00o0 Of this
number.
Objection will be made to the new measure on
the ground that the present government has no
specific mandate to carry out this reform, but the
indications that it will be pushed vigorously in
spite Of all Tory opposition, and if the vote on the
first DIVISION by which the government won out
with majority of ESQ, may be taken as significant
there can be no doubt of the final success of this
great principle of reform and natural justice.

NEW WINE IN OLD BOTTLES.

The belief of the Taft Administration that the
nomination of Wilson will split the progressive vote
between Wilson and Roosevelt and drive all the con-
servative vote to Taft completely knocks all the pre-
tension of being progressive out of the Republican
platform and verfes the claims made by the real
progressves that the Taft Administration has never
been anything else but reactonary and that it was
reactonary because it wished to be, not because it
tried to be otherwise and failed
Now that the Republican party under Taft has
discarded the last pretense of being progressive and
is making an open bid for all the reactionary votes,
the only question remaining is which party offers the
best hope of popular government to the people: the
Democratic party, dependent upon such bosses as
Murphy, Sullivan, Taggart, and Nugent for sue
cess or the third party, organized by the people from
the ground up.
Are the people who wish a really progressive
party, untrammelet by bosses, going to put new wine
in old bottles by supporting Democracy?

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

material change has taken place during the
past few years in the nature Of the celebration OF
the birthday of American liberty. 1t seems trite to
say that 1t has grown more safe and sane, and yet
that is the slogan which has been sounded for years
until better conditions really prevail The harvest
of death on the Fourth of July only few years ago.
was nothing short of appalling, and it is only by
consistent and persistent efforts to make the ami
versary of our independence something more than
saturnalia of tetanus that a new order has been
established in which the rising generation derives
abundant pleasure, but does so on a basis of real
safety and sanity
1t would have been worse than useless to COM
bat the old fashion of celebrating the Fourth unless
something better had been substituted, and here in
Washington such provision has been made. There
will be round of music and entertainments which
will make an impress upon the minds and hearts
of the younger citizens and stir delightful recollec-
tions in the minds of the older.
Whatever may be the details OF the celebration
here or elsewhere it is occasion which should

revived today make for good citizenship and recall
the achievements of the civic pioneers whose early
experiment in the rule of the people should never
be forgotten. The day we celebrate will have an
abiding value for all time to come and here in the
District which bears the Of the greatest patriot
of them all the occasion will always have special
charm.

Thinks the Discovery Of Artificial
Rubber Is One Which Belongs to

~ THE TIMES.

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
Your issue of Sunday contained an
editorial on the discovery Of an artificial
means OF making rubber. The facts as
stated would not seem to be wholly cor
rect. At a hearing before subcom-
mittee of the Committee on Agriculture,
House of Representatives, May 2, 1912,
Mr.. John Bishop Hall. of Philadelphia,
claimed to be the discoverer of chem
ical Con which United States patents
have issuedD by means of which he
could make rubber, horn and cork out
OF waste materials such as cotton stalk,
grass. ashes, newspapers, etc. He pro-
dLced samples ant offered to demon-
strate the truth of his claims.
w. r. GRAHAM.
Note.-There seems to be no question
that several formulas for making arti-
fictal rubber are known, but the spe-
cial claim of the English patentees is
that their method Is commercially prof
itable.-Ed.

TO END PLURAL VOTING.

What we describe in the United States as the
progressive policy is being carried to its logical
conclusion in Great Britain by the measure which
has just been introduced in the house of commons
to abolish plural voting and at the time intro
duce the principle of manhood suffrage.
The survival of election laws which permit prop
erty holders to vote in more than one election dis
trict has long been recognized as one of the most
glaring anachronisms left unreormed by the reform
bill of 1882 and all subsequent amendments. The
direct effort was made to do away with it in 1906,
been repressed, that chamber of did not fail
to defeat the measure after it had been passed by
the house of commons.
Ii is smoother sailing now and there is but little
doubt that it will be enacted into law, thus prac-
tcally wiping out the last remnant of Tory privilege
Under the provisions of the proposed law the prop
erty holder who is now entitled to more than one
vote will have to choose which constituency he will
register and vote in, and violation of the law will
one year, and, in certain cases. dsfranchisemen for
a term of seven years.
On the other hand, every male citizen-wth the
usual exception of paupers, felons, insane persons
etc.-may become voter when he reaches the age
of twenty-one and the qualifying period may occur
during the last six months of his minority. The
elector will be qualified by six months residence or
erty as an element of qualification will cease Uni
versity constituencies will be abolished.
1t is estimated that there are now, in round num-
