THE GLORIOUS FOURTH
It seems the fashion of these after-war days
among certain groups of people, especially in the
cities, to sneer at patriotism. To the sentiment o:f
love of our country, there are plenty of people who
try o back up all the ills that have come upon us.
Is sugar extortionately high? Drat such a country!
Are the raih'oads bad performers? Democracy is
to blame. Are the politicians rambunctious? The
country is going to the devil.
Nothing of the kind. The country is not at
fault, the republic and democracy are as glorious as
they ever were, the nation is as right as it ever was.
The trouble is human. If there are wrongs they are
wrongs perpetrated by human people and they will
be corrected--they cannot persist in this democratic
republic. Evolution--and the war was only an inci-
dent in evolution--brings to our doorstep queer chil-
dren. They don't look right to us today, but 50
years from today we will know that the troublesome
foundlings were only details in the long, long trail
of progress, bearing the germ of an occasional good
idea among the mass of unsafe and even vicious
thought.
If everything went well with us, we would not
know it because there would be nothing to contrast
it with. We must have the hard knocks to enjoy the
sweets 5f existence.
The Fourth of July is upon us again. Let us
remember that on that day, July 4, 1776, when we
gave to the world our Declaration of Independence,
a nation was born that gave world evolution its
sharpest impetus. It suddenly brought to the front
a smouldering consciousness of human dignity, of
rights that belong to every living, soul. In the 144
years that have elapsed, the common people of this
earth have advanced in education, intelligence, good
living and liberty more than they did in the 4000
years previously, and that declaration, and this
democracy, have been largely responsible for it.
Glorious Fourth! Aye, it is as glorious as 144
years ago, and its glory will live as long as the
word "liberty" sounds good to mankind.
The Democratic national convert-
rein at San Francisco seems to be
having considerable trouble sugar-
coating the party platform without
referring to sugar or the numerous
other blunders the adrninistraion has
saddled on the country.

A digression on the energy of the
past sun may be permitted. All that
the earth has caught, for all the mil-
lions of years that it has existed, is
the merest fraction of wlmt the sun
has radiated in the same thne. accord-
Ing to a lecture hy Sir Oliver Lotlge,
reported In the Scientific American.
The earth to the sun is like a print-
er's full stop at a distance of ten feet
from a halfpenny. Some of the radia-
tion from a globe one inch in diameter
fails on the spot one one-hundredth
inch In diameter ten feet away, but
that little speck only catches the hun.
dred anti fifty millionth part of the
whole. What has become of the rest
of the solar energy? It must still: be
careering through space. The ether Is
perfectly transparent and only when It
encounters matter will the radiation
be mopped up and turned into heat-
Not our sun only, hut all the rail.
lions of other suns, have likewise been
always pouring out radiation into
space. Is there any hope of catching
and utilizing it? I trow not. In spite
of all this constant flood of energy
space is cold; very near absolute zero.
The reservoir Is so enormous that all
these taps, runnlug for ages, have
made no impression on It, have not
raised the level a perceptible amount-
HISTORY REVEALED BY NAMES
By Them It Is Possible to Ascertain
What Races Have Inhabited
Different Districts.
In the earliest days of the human
famlly all known persons, places and
groups of human beings must have
had names bjr which they were recog-
nized.
The study of these names and their
survival in civilization enables us of.
ten toascertain what races lnhaolted
districts now peopled by those of en-
tirely different speech.
The names of mountains and rivers
in many parts of England, for In+
stance, are celtic.
Ancient local names are, as a rule.
purely descriptive. A river is called
by s9me word which merei"slgnifies ]
"the water," a mountain may harem
a name which means "the peak," tl]
castle." *'the point;""
English place names generally state
some simple fact, and often denote
no more than property; the me of
a town or hamlet being ,{ormetl tty
adding "ton" or "ham" to,the, ,,'hanJ
of soma early landholder.
Quite often a bit of even half-hu-
moreus description will survive in
such a name, as when a stony, starved
and weedy district Is called Starvacre.

MOB'S ACTION SELDOM JUST
Henry Watteraon Wrote Feelingly on
the Brute Nature of Mankind,
When Herded In Greupe.
The people en masse constitute what
we call the mobs. Mobs have rarely
been right--never except when capa-
bly led .... It was the mob in
Paris that made the Reign of Terror.
Mobs have seldom been tempted, even
tbough they had small chance to
wrong, that they have not gone wrong.
The "people" Is a fetish. It was
the people, misled, who precipitated
the South Into the madness of seces-
sion and the ruin of a hopelc*ssly un-
equal war of sections ....
,..This is merely to note the mbrta]
fa.lllhillty of man, most fallible when
herded In groups and prone to do In
the aggregate what he would hesitate
to do when left to himself and his
individual accountability.
Under a wise dispensation of pow-
er, despotism, we are told, embodies
the best of all government. The trou-
ble Is tlmt despotism is seldom, If
ever, wise. It is its nature to be Incon.
slderate, being essentially selfish,
grasping and tyrannous. As a rule,
therefore, revolution--usually of force
--has been required to change or re-
form lt. Perfectibility was not de-
signed for mortal man .... --Henry
Watterson in "'Marse Henry,' an Au-
tobiography.

As thoseFIRST Americans knew--one hundred and

the principles of a FREE NATION--
--So we here today know that in the centuries to
come there will be loyal FREEMEN to sustain the per-

upon.
It is well to pause occasionally in this era of unrest
and get back to first principles of appreciating all that
our national life permits.
No matter what the political rule of the moment may

and every soul of us will give our earthly all in defense

It is particularly fitting at this time of the year to
turn for a moment, at least, and refresh our memories
regarding that great freedom which is ours.
