Increased Railroad Rates Help Local
Merchants

It is an i'll wind that blows no one good, says
an old proverb. The truth of the observation
may be seen in the advantage accrung to local
merchants from an increase in the passenger
rates charged by railroads and interurbans.
Shopping points that are seventy-five miles
spend their money outside of Richmond that
they had few months ago when the railroad
fares were cheaper. marked decrease in local
traffic has been noticeable on eastern lines that
carry passengers from points thirty or fifty
miles distant from big cities.
Reports from the eastern cities show that the
business of the shopkeepers in the small towns
has increased since the new railroad fare sche-
dule was put into effect. In former years they
complained bitterly that too many persons left
their home towns to shop in large cities, thereby
depriving them of a source of revenue to which
they believed themselves entitled
Richmond merchants had the same problem
to contend with. Indianapolis and Cincinnati
made a strong bid for Richmond trade, and hum
dreds of persons made substantial purchases in
Shoppers got into the habit of going to these
cities at stated times, spending considerable
amounts of money for dresses and other articles
Of apparel that could have been purchased at
home just as well.
Owners of stores in Richmond should benefit
by the new rate schedule, for it removes one of
the inducements to trade away from home.

Now we know that our independence, the re-
public of Washington and a Lincoln, will stand
or fall with the outcome of the gigantic battle
for freedom which is being waged on the soil of
Flanders and France Now we know that we
must fight for our independence, fight as man.
fully and desperately as did our forefathers when
they first gained the boon which we prize so
highly.
And so, as we parade with banner proudly
floating, with souls keyed high, with patriotism
and emotion animating our spirits, we are fixing,
solidifying and confirming our determination to
prove worthy descendants of the and women
who gained our independence. It is our bounden
duty to defend that heritage. To that end we are
dedicating our lives.
This issue has been before us squarely for
more than year. AS Individual members of this
republic we stand united in the cause. We know
not the lineage of our fathers, the place of their
BIRTH the flag under which they were born. We
know only that we are Americans, that we have
only one title-Americans. We know only one
allegiance, one flag, country-America. AS
citizens of that republic we are giving our money
and our sons for the cause of independence.

independence Day

Tomorrow is independence Day. It will be
celebrated here and elsewhere on greater scale
than ever before
Why stop the hum of industry, the hustle Of
commerce, the routine of our daily life? Why
march in long procession, with flags waving and
martial music playing? Is not every day INDIE
pendence Day in America? Night and day alter
nate in stated occurrence. The sun shines and
the stars blink on high The honeysuckle blooms,
the birds sing, the harvest is ripening in our
fields. We note no change in the immutabe laws
of nature. And so with independence. We
joy it's beneficent effects. 1t is with us day and
night. Under it's benign sway we are happy and
prosperous in summer and winter. Why inter-
rupt us in our pursuits to celebrate the day and
listen to the appeal Of orator and musician?
Why celebrate that priceless possession which
is ours?
True independence is ours. But it is ours by
virtue of the blood of our fathers. Independence
was not obtained by listless ease. It came
through the heroic courage of men who braved
shot and shell to win it. If independence is to
remain ours, we must fight to maintain it. In
dependence will dwell in the American republic
only so long as we have the manhood and verility
to keep it there. If the price of liberty is eternal
vigilance surely the people of this republic never
had greater to be guard day and night
than at this moment when despotism threatens
the freedom of the world.
The imminence and menace of this highly eff
ficient despotism provokes the elaborate scale of
our celebration of Independence Day this year.
Our independence and the independence of all
freemen is jeopardzed today. Tyranny and Lib
erty are in the throes of gigantic struggle upon
whose outcome depends the future happiness Of
mankind. If tyranny conquers all the world will
be shackled and bound. If liberty wins all man.
kind will be assured peace and happiness.
independence day sees liberty calling her
sons to duty. The call has gone out throughout
the world America, the highest type of an in
dependent people living under a republic of their
own making, must give proof of her belief in in
dependence and freedom. On this day we must
again renew the oath of our allegiance to the
cause of liberty. Hence, the gigantic outpouring
of the people, the pretentious parades, the large
assemblies of citizens eagerly listening to the
presentation of the principles of democracy.
1t took the American people many months to
see that their independence was. jeapordized by
the hordes that treacherously poured over the
Belgian frontier in violation of sacred compact
Week followed week before understood that
Germany warning against the principles of
government on which our republic rests and that
she was subverting the laws of civilization and
humanity to gain her ends
