Patience is the strongest of strong drinks for it kills the Giant Despair.
 Douglas Jerrold.
The Thundecer,, Ameriean Number


 We have just received copy of the London Times, daily or as nearly a daily visitor to us as the permitted during three years of the great The present copy is of the American Edition of the Times issued July A. probably the first edition of great newspaper outside the United States celebrate the Declaration of American In dependence.
 This number of the Times one of the many proofs that the has brought the English speak ing peoples of two nations closer together with better view of each other and with clearer con- 2eption of their duty to the whole world,
 we assured" says the Times that the best hope for the peace freedom happiness of all ions depends in immense degree on the increas- ingly close cooperation of the United States the British Empire in helping solve the worlds out tanding problems"
 And continues the Times With without the League of Nations, there is no ignoring that it is 1pon the cooperation of the English speaking peo- ples-always strengthened by the association of France that the maintenance of the peace of the world chiefly rests"
 The purpose of this edition was something more pr rather. something else than promote affection and sentimental understanding between the two nations It may be said to have had commercial origin and was designed bring about a better com mercial understanding and to that ehd it invokes a recognition of the blood relationship of the two peoples.
 There many interesting contributions to the American number" One is by Owen Mister the Fourth of July and the traditional indulgence that day in the pastime twisting the British lions tail Our school histories have emphasized the antag- onsms growing out of the Revolutionary War and the War of 1872 that it really not until the late war set us fighting shoulder shoulder, be- gan in this country realize that historical study had rung the changes upon George the Third and Lord North and had forgotten all about Burke and Pitt and the whole liberal element in Eng land.
 Mir. Mister proposes a revision of the school books of America in relation our conflicts with Great Britain And well may that be done, for our school histories pretentous are almost ridiculously inexact regarding our prowess and in the Wars of the Revolution Mexican histories record for the edfcation of the youth country the defeat of the United States in the Mexican War-the capture of the armies of General Scott and General Taylor and their release only upon the payment of a heavy by this country.
 There articles by pr. Albert Shaw former editor of the Review of Reviews and by James Keeley for many years the directing force of the Chicago Tribune, all appealing for closer bond of sympathy.
 The Times believes that the great mass of the British people the try the League of Nations but they not under any illusion that will auto matically usher in a millennium; they only think at least hope, that it will help preserve peace The Times is of the opinion that it would be worthless without the close cooperation of Great Britain and America.
 Let us think together, together and work together urges the Times; 'let us not imperi all have done and all it's fair promise the future by demobilzing too the spirit which won the war and the spirit which alone bring the accom- plishment of greatest wishes and our loftiest ideals"
