THE FOURTH IN ENGLAND.

Apropos OF the announcement that
the Fourth OF July will be generally
observed in England this year with
the endorsement and participation
Of the king himself. 1t Is well to
recall a little history and see how
England as well as America has a
reason for reyerencing this anniver-
sary. Americans have been In the
habit Of regarding the Revolutionary
war as war against the English
people. The school histories leave
the impression that the colonists
whipped England In i776 and then
set up a democracy repugnant to the
English mind Professor Giddings
calls attention to the facts OF the
case as now brought out by the
common cause Of American and
English people TO preserve deaoc-
racy against the Hun attack.
The historical facts, says Giddings.
were that the American revolution
was not confined to America. II was
but the American phase OF world
movement and was not by any means
Il war against the English people. It
was war Of the liberal elements
In both countries against the Ger
rnanized crown some OF the most
decisive battles OF tho American
revolution were fought in England
i'm English politics and in the Eng
iish parliament
George III did not represent tho
English people or any English idea
He was not English. lie was es-
sentially German. and his policies
were the natural policies Of the Ger
man monarchy. In a perfectly legal
and legitimate way German prince
had inherited the English throne,
and his legal position had been duly

OF George III had such scant sup
port In England that he was forced
to depend on troops borrowed from

view OF all these facts II Is not n
strange thing that Engllshmcn are
about to join with us in celebrating

"Tollcrs of the Sea. "

Louisville Times
One of the most interesting Of war
stories published lately is that con-
tanned in London dispatches yester-
day relating to the raising of subma-
rined ships in British waters. II
seems that this is the first inkling
the world has been given that engin-
eering projects of such magnitude
had been attempted in the face OF
the most annoying and perilous
handicaps: and civilization must re-
joice, indeed, in the hardihood and
the engineering ability that have
brought back from the dead IN a
year and a half over 400 good ships.
1t Is not difficult to reason out the
grounds for the secrecy with which
these operations have been cloaked.
Neither is 1t difficult to imagine the
hardships undergone by the men
who labored thus under the guns
of any German sea waif that might
happen along. These things are
rather plain to the casual eye, but
the rough seas. the gases from rot
ting cargoes; and the infinite labor
| involved In the dead lift--these are
! things that require a much fuller
treatment than the few hundred
words in which this titanic labor
was described in the dispatch of
| yesterday.
| Here is a chapter of the war de-
| serving the best pen ever held by the
| former KiplinE. The, salvage depart
ment OF the British admiralty has
| not been advertised, but its work has
| been no less heroic than that of the

men OF the great dreadnoughts. The

ard In the interest OF humanity.

Dropping Home Rule.
Chicago Tribune.

chicago IrlDune.
Certainly there will be sharp dis
appointment in the UNITED States
over the decision of the British cabi-
net to drop home rule. We had
hoped for a settlement in spite of
the war or because Of it. Even the
tactical laundering over the Sim
Fein, with its alternate rigor and
weakness, did not seem to US neces-
sarily fatal. though the announce
ment of conscription was a stagger-
ing blow to our confidence. Lord
Curzon now drops the hot iron on
behalf of the ministry and there we
suppose It must sizzle and scorch
for time, Whether ii will set up a
blaze no man can foretell.
We have no wish to intrude upon
this unhappy situation, although
America is substantially. If indirectly,
concerned. Yet we hope that home
rule will not be dropped as COM
pletely as the British press assum es
it has been. Pledges from the pres
ent British government would not
mollify home rulers in Ireland or
America, unless guaranteed in some
quite unusual way. But the best
guaranty that can be devised should
be forthcoming.
The dropping of conscription is
enough to destroy that prestige OF
any government in peace times, and
1t does not add to Mr.. Lloyd George s
even now But 1t is a step Of neces-
sary IL unfortunately belated com
mon sense.
In America there Is a strong feel
! ing among Irish Americans that the
al nN Ch n oy-f
against Germany as men of Irish
| blood in America are doing. Sim
Fein pro o-Germanism and rebellion
| had no important support in this
country, and the natural reaction
| brought about by the war with
France and England against Ger
many was moderating Irish -Ameri-
can hatred of England. This is ten
| deucy which ii is important to Amer
| lea and to Great Britain to foster
The granting of home rule at this
| time would have been a stroke OF
| farsighted craftsmanship which
would have strengthened the ties be-
tween the allies and laid the founda
ton for closer relations.
Americans whose political system
was founded on mastery compro-
| mise 1t hard toN believe that an Irish
! solution cannot be worked out by
sane men on the basis of rational
give and takes We have recognized
| the great qualities of Sir Horace
| Punkett and-have hoped he would
| receive enough support to carry
| through to a settlement. We cannot
! but believe the brusque relinquish
ment Of home rule deliberations
would be a costly mistake. o.

AN ENDLESS CHAIN.

This question OK making the cost
OF living and the remuneration OF
labor balance Is only question OF
going around in circles. We never
get caught up even. One or the
other IL In the lead. and the lead Is
usually on the side OF the cost OF
living. We have noticed that every
time wages are substantially in
creased the people who have any
thing to sell 10 the laboring man
proceed at once TO raise prices, so
that the inchesse granted TO the
worker Is at once absorbed by the
tradesman or by the spectators be-
hind them, and the laboTer is no
better OF than when his pay was
smaller.
This is the consumers side OF the
| question. 1t IL equally apparent from
the other viewpoint that every
change OF circumstances that either
iustifies or compels q raise in prices
OF commodities produces new de-
mand from labor for higher wages,
The laborers, being dependent upon
the earnings OF his hand or brain
for subsistence. is compelled to ask
for more pay In order to live, or at
least to live on scale In which
free American workmen are sup.
posed to live. He cannot be ex-
pected to sink TO the squalor and in
dlgencc that has been the lot OF
labor In the older countries.
Thus we have a seesaw--higher
wages brings higher costs OF living,
and higher costs of living brings
higher wages-golng on around the
circle until some economic cataclysm
comes and upsets all calculations,
/ Their. we have a period OF hard
ship, a readJustment and commence
the same old merry go round again
from the bottom up. Where Is the
philosopher who will show us a
practical and workable plan OF
reaching a reasonably stable basis
for equalizing expenses and rcmun-
erations?

Common Enemy, Common Cause.
Houston Chronicle.
Meanwhile the war Is drawing US
scioser together not only politically,
but socially
stress and struggle are forging
bonds OF sympathy which have their
pleasant and potential side.
Nowhere in the world, perhaps, is
this element OF the situation making

Not only are seCtionalism and fac
tionalism disappearing on nation
wide scale, but even small commupi-
ties are responding to a nore

pceved at the constant call, VIC are
coming TO realize the joy OF doing
things In a disiuterested way and
this is having an effect right In our
midst,
But the more we do for Others
the more we must do for ourselves
so idleness Is growing questionable
along with selfishness.
This also is taking hold OF our life

Reyolts In Germany may be ex,

when the kaiser and his sycophants
will appear as revolving to his own
people as to the rest OF the world.
The German people are slow to com

they become thoroughly convinced
that the war is lost to them and that
all the great sacrifice has been to no

DR.. Anna Howard Shaw's sugges'
ton that women refrain from wear

Well, we are benighted enough to
believe that among the qualifications
for high office some degree of self
control and mental stability is i'm
portant. A political campaign is one
thing and the discharge of n public
trust is, after all, quite another. But
George Creel never seems to forget
that he Is not still engaged In a cam

his responsibility to furnish the pub
