CELEBRATING THE FOURTH.

In all parts of the country special
attention is being given to make the
observance of the Fourth of July this
year especially impressive, particularly
with reference to newly naturalized
citizens. 1t is even suggested that the
courts designate the Fourth of July as
naturalization day and that the usual
legal procedure be varied to the ex-
tent of impressing upon the applicants
for citizenship the nature of the ami
versary which will also become the
anniversary of the day the privilege of
American citizenship was conferred
upon them.
The idea of making the patriotic
feature of Fourth of July celebrate ms
more impressive is a good one, ana
should meet with hearty response from
all citizens. The terrible struggle that
Is now being waged in Europe sh lulo
not be without its warning to the cit-

And more than that, 1t should bring
home as nothing else has ever done
the necessity of being prepared to de-

in the material preparation for war,
but in the heart of every maa worthy

Where aluminium is handled the IN

extent on long time contracts, as it
does not appear able to get out the

and conceded that he and the presi-
dent were working to the same enc.

means. He knows that President VIII
son Is dealing with the gravest ques-
ton that has confronted this country
in many years. perhaps since the civii
war, one that is fraught with dire con-
sequences IL the president sh puld
make a mistake In It's solution. Il is
a time when patriotic citizens forget
political differences. when they are no
longer looking for political advantages,
when they see only Woodrow Wilson,
president Of the United States, end
they are back of him to man whether
his work leads to peace or war.
If Mr.. Bryan could not assist the
president, he could at least refrain
/ from making his task more difficult by
remaining quiet. But he has not done
so. Simultaneous with the delivery Of
I the presidents note to Germany, Mr.
Bryan comes out with a statement In
which he virtually attacks the presi-
dents position in defining his own.
| Not content with that, he follows it
with another installment, which Is a
more direct attack upon the presidents
note, and which could have no other
purpose than to attempt to divide pub
lie opinion in a matter upon which
there should be no division. A third
address Is then directed to German
Americans, and this reveals the utter
lnsineerity of the man. Would any
man who was sincere IN his profess
sions of loyalty and affection for the
president, though impelled by con-
science to resign his post, deliberately
attempt to raise an issue that must
tend to divide public sentiment and
weaken the support back of the presi- |
dent? Would such man choose such
a time to appeal to an element of our
population which has been most severe
in its criticism of the president in |
manner that tends to make them more
dstrustful of him?
Why, then does Mr.. Bryan do these
things? Because he is not sincere, be-
cause he is still possessed or a consum-
ing desire to be president, and because
he is base enough to use a natlona,

higher purpose than to force this coun-
TRY into war? II they mean that, then
their dispersion is cast upon the Am
erican people as a whole, for they
stand squarely back Of the president
in demanding those things.
No sane citizen of this country
wants war with Germany or with any
other country, and Mr.. Bryan knows
lit. But he cannot free himself from
the tricks of a self seeking politician,
even at a time of crisis IN the affairs
OF the nation. He must therefore sound
an alarm to warn the people against
the enemies of the country, just as ne
did with his cross Of gold in 1896 and
his anti-imperialism in 1900. Events
proved that the alarming pictures he
drew of the country then were notn-
ing more than Pigments Of his very
active imagination. And so it is to-
day.
Nobody wants war; everybody hopes
that friendly relations with Germany
will remain undisturbed But the peo-
pie of this country will never submit
to the adoption of the Bryan policy of
peace at any price.

RRYAN's REAL PURPOSE.

A careful consideration of the atti-
tude of William Jennings Bryan since
his spectacular resignation from the
cabinet leads to the conclusion that he
was actuated in taking that step by
motives other than that given to the
president and to the public. Seventeen
years ago when this country under the
administration of William Mckinley
found 1t necessary to declare war
against Spain in the name of suffering
humanity in Cuba, Mr.. Bryan mann
Tested no qualms of conscience when u
commission was offered him for serv-
ice in that righteous war He accepted
| It, and there was widespread belief
at the time that he did so with the
view to furthering his political aspira-
lions rather than being moved by a
patriotic desire to serve his country IN
the field. The war with Spain was
popular, and history records that morc
than one president has been elevated
to that high estate through distn-
guished service in war. There was a
chance for Bryan and he took it.
There is reason to believe that Mr.
Bryan's feelings toward war nave not
undergone any change since that time
but shifty politician that he is, he be- +
lieves that he has discovered that pub
lie sentiment has changed toward war
and that now peace peace az any
price, Is the popular paean Of the pee
pie. OF course he viii find, as he has
always found, that he has miserably !
failed in his attempt to guage public I
opinion, In his judgment that the peo- I
pie want peace he is right, but he is /
wholly wrong in his estimate OF the S
price they are willing to pay for it.

THE AMERICAN SPIRIT.

(St. Louis Post -Dispatch)
We do not know what we perhaps
could do,
Nor do we feel the least desire to try;
But all the same Wen see our country
through,
And if the need be we shall gladly
die
Some one must keep the torch of
progress lit
While Europe wallows in her fiery
hell,
And if it is our part to look to it
Well do that, thanks, and do it very
we'll.
Not all the war lords devastating this
old sphere
Can terrify us into dumb assent
That we may not proceed with naught
to fear,
Wherever other freemen, fearngN
nothing went
If need be we can doubtless scourgc
as we'll
Those vast sea reaches which we are
denied,
And keep free that for which our fore
bears fell
And other freemen in their val,r
