OUR couNTRY's BIRTHDAY

July Fourth will be something more
than q kid holiday this year. The heart
win have gone out Of the old time scene
az racket and mischief. Some Of US will
rink back to that fateful scene when
this nation was born, when it asserted its
right to an equal place IN the world 1am-
The familiar old picture in the history
books, Of our patriot forefathers signing
the Declaration Of Independence, looks
like 3 very stilted and conventional scene.
Il Sc hard to imagine that it thrilled with
anv human emotion. Yet these men by
that act were putting their heads in the
hangman's moose.
They were defying the strongest mill
tary power Of their day, and with but q
handful Of raw soldiers. twas an auda-
cfous proposition. The fortunes OF time
have made us now the ally Of that power.
But the American spirit Of liberty has 80
far penetrated Western nations OF Eur
ope. that our allies 60 into battle in the
same old faith of democracy that inspir-
ed the Revolutionary forefathers,
There was great stuff in tn blood OF
the old patriots Of '76. They would rath.
er risk their necks than stand for acts Of
injustice. That temper has persisted 70
Tie presnt day. It has drawn to our
shores millions Of immigrants who
shared the same feeling Of revolt from
tyranny, and who are fitting heirs Of the
patriotic legacy.
Blood will tell The sons Of the fore.
fathera will be patriots too. The sons Of
men who came to this country to escape
tyranny will not weakly bow the knee to
the autocrat. If handful Of the fathers
dared defy the old country in the days OF
weakness, the sons will never hesitate to
dfy kings and empires in these days Of
our strength.

THE SERIOUSNESS oFYoUrH

~
The American boy is not what he was.
Formerly large part Of the students out
from school and college spnt the summer
In Notification. Now. Al tie boys want
to get to work. The boy who. has not
been able to find summer Job Is as un-
happy e. be used to b Il he could not get
a chance to play his daily ball game in
the back lots. The. same spirit Of ambi-
ton possesses the girls.
Also these young people look ahead
much more than was common 9 few years
ago. They are planning their careers,
studying out ways in which they can get
start. The burdens Of life have de-
scended prematurely upon their young
shoulders.
A ten weeks vacation used to be con-
sidered by many people as necessary to
rest the children from the fatigues OF
school; now the boys and girls take their
summer jobs the day after school closes.
Some people regret that the young
folks no longer have the ight-hearted
and care-free vacations they used to have
when they wandered free as the wind.
But these are very serious times and will
continue so after the war is over. The
idle roaming Of the old time vacation was
often demoralizing. Many young people
became irresponsible, they acquired a
habit Of idle loafing.
Physically, the boy working on farm
or garden is better off than If he were
loafing around the town growing flat
chested and slouchy as he slumped on the
curbstone. On the farm his muscles are
growing and his lungs and heart expand
ing. esii a .oa
Indoor work is not so favorable, though
where workshops and stores are well
ventilated and sanitary, it may not be OBJ
jecionable. This greater seriousness Of
youth is Q normal and hopeful develop
ment. We cannot meet the world compe-
tition Of these days unless we cut out
something Of our pleasure seeking spirit.

SHOULD TAKE PANAMA.

The government Of Panama has pro-
tested against the action Of the United
States in policing the two principal cities.
Of the Isthmian country. The protest win
not avail, for the treaty Of 1904 authorize
es this country to take such action when,
ever it IS necessary to maintain order.
There are many American soldiers in the
vicinity Of Panama and Colon and vice
conditions became 50 bad that the troops
were forbidden to enter either city. The
authorities made little Or no effort to-
clean up and the elections were post
poped for fear Of grave disorders. There
Is no excuse for the existence Of the re-
public Of Panama and it should not have
been set up by the aid Of the United
States. We were responsible for the loss
Of the territory by Colombia and we
might just as well have gone step
farther and taken possession without
cannouflaging. The Panama government
is q menace to the canal zone and IL
should. be suppressed at this time. We
shall always be compelled to guard both
ends OF. the great waterway and we can
never be sure Of the half breeds who con-
stitute the bulk Of the small population
Of the strip. All the other great nations
are interested in the canal, which cost
the United States half q billion dollars,
and they would no doubt be glad if we
would take over the whole isth.aus.- Salt

CAN BE A PIONEER SCOUT.

There are thousands of boys from the backwoods of Maine to the ranches of California, and from the Everglades of Florida to the plains of the great Northwest, who have not joined the Boy Scouts of America, because of the impracticability of organizing troops in their home towns. For such boys and only such boys-who find it impos- sible to be active members of troops. provisions have been made for enroll ing them as Pioneer Scouts.
 A Pioneer Scout is admitted to mem- bership upon written application on form provided by the national council, which tells what he must do. His ob- ligations are the same as those of the active scouts who are members of troops. He receives certificate of membership in the same way as mem- bers of regular troops.
