WHAT THE OUTSIDERS sAY.

People outside of America nave hau
 a, lot to do with criticising things
 going on in America. In fact Amer
 ica today stands about in the same
 position as the newspaper. Every
 man in the country no matter what
 his husiness or profession, knows how
 to run newspaper. So, every na- ton outside of America knows now
 to conduct the affairs of America.
 The English have their ideas of our
 government ana how it should be
 conducted. So have the Germans.
 The leading men, and publications or these nations have been outlining: our policy for the past thirteen
 months, or, ever since the war be-, gan: |.
 Now. however comes a London pic ture paper The Sketch, and protests upon these unseemly attacks upon
 the United States. It would have
 the people of England stop jeering at the United States. Realizing that we are nation not made up solely
 of one class of people this British publication now makes apologies for all the harsh words of criticism, di- rected in the past, at President Will. apology is timely. not that any of the bitter shafts directed at our Presi- dent took effect, but because it proves the English are beginning to realize the futility of trying to direct Amer ican affairs from London town, The capital of the United States is Wash ington, D, C,-this for the enlight- enment of many who may think it in London, Berlin, or Paris Whether it remains in Washington, it will always be kept within the confines of the United States, with no secret wires running to any other capital on the face of the globe.
 As to the attacks that have been made upon President Wilson from the various countries now at war, they are hardly worth the notice. Wood- row Wilson has proven himself the President of the United States in name, word and deed. He is looking after the interests of all within these borders, whether they are of German extraction, or whether their ancestors came over on tne Mayhower or any other English sailing boat. If the, German Government violates the rights of American people it is the duty of President Wilson to demand with Great Britain, or any nation. ] Being all and sst sui fficiently absorbed, with internal affairs and criticism from those who should support him in this hour of trial, Woodrow Wilson will probably not lose many sleepless nights over what the people of Lon don, or Berlin, or Paris say or think of him. The same thing holds true as regards the people. We care not one iota what London and Ber- lin may say or think of us so long as we know we are good citizens of tie land in which we live, citizens worthy the name, ready to lay down our lives, if necessary, for the welfare of Old Glory. Paraphrasing Robert Emmet, we care not what others may do or say, but as for us give us Amer lca or give us death

The final report of the American Medical association on Fourth of July casualties shows that only thirty five lives were lost this year as a result of injuries received on the holiday. Last year it was forty, thirteen years ago it was nearly five hundred each year. The safe and sane Fourth is saving 450 lives annually
 All this saving and a great deal more is being lost through equally careless and preventable automobile accidents.
