LIBERTY BELL,

There was tumult in the city,
In the quaint old Quaker town,
And the streets were filled with peo-
pie
Racing restless up and down.
People gathering at corners,
Where they whispered each to each,
And the sweat stood on their temples
With the earnestness of speech.
AS the bleak Atlantic currents
Lash the wild Newfoundland shore,
So they beat against the State house,
So they surged against the door;
And the mingling of their voices
Made harmony profound,
Till the quiet street of Chestnut
Was turbulent with sound.
will they do it?' "pare they do it?"

"What of Adams?" "What of Sher-
MANI"
ooh, God grant they won't refuse!"
MAKE some way, thcrel" "Let me
IT am stiAingl" "Stifle theng
When nations life at hazard,
We've no time to think of men!"
So they beat against the portal,
Man and woman, maid and child,
And the July sun in heaven
On the scene looked down and smiled
The same sun that saw the Spartan
Shed his patriot blood in vain,
Now beheld the soul of freedom,
All unconquered, rise again.
Seel See! The dense cloud quivers
Through all it's lengthy line,
AS the boy beside the portal,
Looks forth to give the sign;
With his hands uplifted
Breezes dallying with his hair,
Hank! with deep, clear intonation,
Breaks his young voice on the air.
flushed, the peoples swelling murmur
List the boys exultant cry!
"Ring!" he shouts, "Ring, grandpa!
Ring! Oh! ring for iberty"
Quickly at the given signal
The bell man lifts his hand
Forth he sends the good news, max
ing
Iron music through the land.
How they shouted! What rejoicing!
How the old bell shook the air
Till the clang of freedom ruffled
The calmly gliding Delaware.
How the bonfires and the torches
Lighted up the nights repose
And from the flames, like tabled
Phoenix,
Our glorious liberty arose!
That old State house bell is silent,
flushed is now its clamorous tongue,
But the spirit it awaked,
Still is living, ever young;
And when we greet the smiling sun
light
On the Fourt of each July,
We will ne'er forget the bell-man
Who, betwixt the earth and sky
Rang out loudly, "Independence!"
Which, please God, shall never die!

AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY.

There is no more expensive luxury than doctor. A doctor charges always too much for his service. Not that the charge is considered nor even entered into our calculation when we need one Mo- not that at all. The idea is that when we need doctor, we care not hoot what he may charge, we get him. If he should happen happen you understand-to get us well, he is hell to pay because of his exhorbitant charges and if he lands us in the grave his charges how ever moderate they may be, are mere luxury for the poor cuss derives no benefit from being buried, and there you have luxury, whatever you do
 In some of the states doctors are trying an experiment that is interesting. In one of the large cities doctor takes charge of family at a fixed price for the whole year. If he is called to attend the family half dozen times, or fifty times in the year. his fee is to be the same. The charge is based on the family history and the present physical condition of the members. A contract is entered into wherein it is stipulated that if one of them becomes ill., the doctor is to be notified as promptly as possible, so that treat ment may begin before the disease has chance

More it may be said to be on the eve of a great evolution or revolution. Just as sure fate, something will happen that is unpleasant to con- template To say that there isn't grave danger ahead is to deny unmistakabe signs of the time.

 An Oregon school mistress who taught some form of socialism and anarchy, the compliments against her alleged discharged and she brought suit against the authorities collect what would have been due her under her contract butted down fences of pedagogical decency.
 we'll held that a school board has the right discharge teacher contract not who skates away a political other tangent in the school room. The ground for this is quite distinct apart from the oense which radical teaching may give to the parents of the children It is simply that teacher thus her disabilities She establishes her incapacity to know the child mind, well a failure recognize the breadth of the public For the public school is place a cult. The public school is limited to narrow view It fails utterly to meet its ideals it teaches and the other side of any question.

 The public school system would collapse under such a burden of fanatctism and nonsense. teacher who presumes the public school to advocate radcasm is unfit because there is definite under standing of the public schools fundamentals And be- sides is wanton attack upon the simplicity of chidhoods mind.

to develop.
 This is said to be merely an experiment in order to demonstrate the feasibility of some such plan. Certainly it is step toward the ideal system. It gives doctors a strong incentive. to see their patients recover and get out from under their care as speedily as possible This is the aim of reputable physicians of course, but there are others not so conscientious, regret to say.
 Some day there will be community medical centers to which families will belong, where for a fixed sum paid every year they may be sure of the best possible medical attention. In this manner, only the best doctors will have practice resulting in prolonging life, whereas now the "quacks' are allowed to kill off as many as they can get, thus making doctor luxury, which ever way you look at it. At any rate many of us in Ketchikan would be glad of a contract along that line with some reputable physician just at this time.
