some SUU nefgnDOFS celeDrateG July Fourth in a manner un- surpassed by any town of its size in Alaska. There was something doing from the time the peel of the big guns drove the slumbering citizens from their pallets at 4:30 in the morning until the last strain of the waltz iii the town hall sank 'ialo oblivion, and the caldro,l of goodfellowship and patrio- lsm huhDled ever during the eutire day. When the smoke had cleared away, Adam Bry- Iant-who is so old that he sw ears he resided in these parts heipre earthquakes were heard of--remarked that never 'u the history of Kasaan had he seen such a day of real fun and geniality and he promises that next Fourth he will be l. mong the contestants for prizes himself.
 Five hundred tilikums listen cd to the words of wisdom that s'r. Wm, Runard got off his chest and his speech on '1E~ dependence" was the feature oi the continual round of pleasure. He said in part. Il am proud to see that the white people of Kasaan have com hined with the Native people and that they have the loyalty and patriotism to meet as one lu celebrate this 121st annl- versary of our Independence and no effort is being spared to make this celebration in the same spirit as that promulgated by our Forefathers in eighteen hundred and twenty siX.' His words touched the hearts of the gathering and the sound of the applause that greeted him as he left the platform was on- Iy equalied by the roar of the cannonade that lifted the cur tain on the days enjoyment. The Rev. Geo. Eaton then took tle stand and gave a very able speech mingled with hymns sung by all with a splendid rendition of the Star Spang- II led Bannern by the Kasaar Band. He too was cheered j., the echo.
 The program was as follows
 Six a. m. Patriotic Salute by the Anvil Chorus.

as "baubles." Gladstone, whose fame
was not based on family or descent, as
Briton understands the terms, might
have had title drawn from a Welsh
county had he been willing to accept
it. But we all know that Gladstone"
was enough for him. Vernon Har-
court, on the other hand, was an ex-
emplar of the patrician who thinks his
patronyInic incapable of augmentation.
So proud was he of his descent from
the Plantagenets that he would never
consent to obscure the proud name of
Harcourt.
Democracy undoubtedly does play a
part in bestowal and declination of
titles, but not leading one. How can
it be expected to do so, when we
find a Liberal ministry bestowing
titles, sending men up to the House
OF Lords for the extinction OF which
it is working. Mr.. Asquith has be-
slowed a peerage on his brother-in-
law, and Haldane has been made Wis
count.
