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.

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. Parisian Mementoes of Napoleon.; The statue of Henri of Navarre on the Pon Neuf the oldest bridge in Paris, is a memento of Napoleon, for It was cast from the bronze of the em- peror's statue which was torn from the top of the Vendome column in ADVERTISING RATES 5 cents a line (six words) in classified columns.

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.  "Flower of the Devil." "Flower of the Devil" is a strange growth upon trees found on the sides of lVuego volcano In Guatemala, one of the few places In the WorId where It Is known tc occtir. It has beautiful • foliation, veining and stem. and appears full blown when Just unfolding from the bud. This effect Is formed by a parasite which enters the wood and dies after eating portions of it away, a process which In time produces the results described. Tradition, however, ascribes a different origin. Years ago, when the Spaniard ruled the country, h fair Indian maiden was supposed to have betrayed certain tribal se- crets to her white lover. Her people threw her into the fiery water of Fuego in expiation of her sin, and once every year, on Mldsummer's day, she ap- FOR SALE--6-hole range with res- ervoir; also kitchen table.

Overcoming Inomnla. The treataent of Insomnia or sleep- lessness Is a simple matter. Psycho. analysis or a physical examination dis- closes the real source of the disorder. Insomnia has Its foundation in loss of general health, worries, bad habits, need of ventilation and sunlight. Re- tire early at night, even if you cannot sleep. This restores the normal Take a glassful of hot milk, a few crackers affd a hot bath before you re- tire, A cold pack to the head and a hot water bottle to the feet help to 'woo slumber.

The entire body clothe hundreds of mlne can thus be brought into view in the fiuorpscope in a few seconds, and any diamond pres. ent, even if behind thick bones, is quickly detected. The glow of the dia- mond under the X-rays, as well as its dense opaqueness, aids in detection it Is ald. Flying Casualties.

Across the Years Is the Yank salute of "I told you so t" It is thespirit of understanding that FREEDOM will prevail and that LIBERTY can never be driven from the face of this 'earth. As thoseFIRST Americans knew--one hundred and forty years ago '--that we would be here today to uphold 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- sonal and national liberties that our country is founded 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 be--every one of us are fundamentally AMERICANS and every soul of us will give our earthly all in defense of that immoral cornerstone--The Declaration of Inde. pendence. 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. L. N. CO. \
