government is instituted for these
purposes, a vigilant watchl should be
kept to see that the harmony of this
independence is not marred by the
greed and avarice of designing persons.
The fountain head, the source of all
power, the people, should be kept pure;
strict and enlightened integrity main
tained. All orders and directions
should emanate from below, at the
hands of the voter, and not from
above, through the voter's agents. ThJ
people should instruct, their servants
and demand obedience. Political dic
tation should be spurned and the dic
tator dethroned at the ballot box. An
ever watchful and intelligent people
need not be legislated against, or per
mit such acts to remain a part of their
laws.T You would not retain, a private
servant you did not want; why make a
different rule for. public servants? If
the balldt is the shield of .your rights
you should commence the same as you
would to raise'a crop. In the latter
is important that you select sound
and promising seed, and you see to it
with care. Just as important in the
raising of the political crop (public
servants) that you select sound, honest
and capable men. If in either case you
sow the wind you will reap the whirl
wind. One great danger to our institu
tions is the almost criminal neglect of
the honest voter to attend the pri
maries. You would not, if you are a
merchant, trust strangers to select
your help or select your goods, and if
a farmer, you would not permit such
to conduct the farm and sell the crop;
then why will you, on the more im
portant matter, trust to those who are
at all times unknown to you, for too
often you pay no attention, and moat
times many of them with selfish ends
in view, to run the governmental side
of your business. A day at the pri
mary and the election is worth more.
and means more towards your financial
success than a week in the store or
shop or on the farm. Then you all
tlaim to be honest and criticise others
for being false to their trust, 'when.at
the same time you hold the most sac
red of all trusts, the maintenance and
perpetuity of this nation, handed down
for you and for posterity, and are
criminally negligent and careless in
regard to that trust. If you were pri
vate servants the law. would mulct you
In damages. Duty, duty, thou art made
to measure all others, but never to be
applied vto self. To self a phantom, to
self's, enemies the brand of Cain.
Would that I could awaken anew the
patriotism of old, and could break
through the avarice of today. That
every one would realize that this is
his and her government; a trust as
precious as life to each, and that
through it more can be accomplished
than through all other Instrumentali
ties. We all owe duties to posterity,
this being the unwritten law of nature,
and one of which is that each tomor
row shall find our civilization farther
advanced than today. As to how well
our people have fulfilled these obliga
tions the pages of our history will tell.
The nation, under the guidance of its
trustees, has grown from thirteen
weak colonies to forty-five majestic
states and four territories. Sweeping
from ocean to ocean, and from the
lakes to gulf; from three million In
habitants to near seventy-seven mil
lions; from a few millions in wealth
to untold millions. In science, liters
ture and art, without - a peer. And,
above all, the greatest test of our ac
complishments in this line, we havd
proven that a free people are capable
of self-government, and that if wrongs
were overlooked in laying the founda
tion that we are strong enoueh to rec
tify these wrongs ourselves, without
any outside assistance. Have swpti?.
slavery from the land, and made the
Declaration a truth In fact as well as
in theory. -
A the, shaek'es fell from the limbs
of these bondsmen and women, and
standing in the sunlight of liberty, we
declared anew that all men and women
are born equal, not in beauty or in
strength, not In wisdom or the ability
to acquire it, but equal as to the right
to lire, tne right to liberty, and the
right to the pursuit of happiness. Na
ture's laws immutable, unchangeable.
Not applicable to the "lands of the
sunny south alone. Not alone in the
fields of cotton and of cane, but on
the farm, in the workshop and in the
mine; in the north, in the east and
in the west, wherever mankind is
found. Ours at our birth, not by rea
son of man-made law, but-by right di
vine. The Declaration of Independence
being but a reassertion of this eternal
truth. ( "To secure these, governments
are instituted among men deriving
their just powers from the consent of
the governed." Thus the legend of
the divine right of kings, the divine
right of one class to govern . another
class," of one people to govern anotnor
people, by birth, by force, by pur
chase or by conquestr should find no
advocate in a "government of the peo
ple, for the people and by the people."
It was not the negro that freed him
self, it was the free men of one raC3
freeing another. The slave had grown
to be a part of the system. Whether
his lot was the frown and the lash, or
the smile and the caress. As the drop
of water wears away the stone so had
his condition sapped his love of free
dom. Its shame and its narrowed lim
its had vanished, in too many cases,
or been forgotten as the generations
passed away. There was a system, and
he was a part of it. He had ceased to
dream of broader fields or greener pas
tures. He had forgotten that eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty. His
life was a Belshazzar feast or a La
zarus famine. In the one he saw no
handwriting on the wall as a warning,
or hope of the fulfillment of the prom
ise in the other. Might we not here
gain a valuable lesson as to our dan
ger, as well as to, our duty? There s
no place in this active world for the
sloth or the sluggard, it is vigilance,
vigilance, or decay and oblivion. Fre
quently new lessons may be learned
from old books. New truths from old
truths. Our duty to our country and
its Institutions today may be gleaned
from the teachings of the fathers. The
minister calls the attention of his hear
ers to the old teachings of thousands
of years ago that the world may not
wander away from the true foundation
of Christian faith, and spiritual duty.
Should we not, if we would perpetuate
this nation, as frequently return to the
principles upon which it is founded,
and thus drink of the spirit that has
nurtured its . every noble . act, and
caused it to stand among nations the
greatest in all that is good, and in all
that is inspiring.
Our growth has been because of the
observance of these principles. Our
future supremacy depends on rigid ad
herence to them. In these days, when
great national questions, questions of
far-reaching influence, confront us,
how necessary it is that we should for
get party and party advantage. Re
curring again and again to our early
history with the same lack of pride of
opinion as characterized the framers
of the Declaration and the writers of
our constitution.
Today is a patriotic day with all of
Columbia's people. War with its mis
eries and woes; with all its loss of
life and money is passing away. Yet
war sometimes has its silver lining.
It drives out self. It broadens the
mind and - quickens our affections;
draws attention from business and di
rects it to the rights and wrongs of
nations and of men. It wipes out bit
terness and hate at home so that every
one is not only your neighbor, but
your friend. If this land has known
sectionalism, and Imaginary boundary
lines have heretofore, like a will-o'-the-wisp,
sprung up, they are gone.
May they not return with the blessing
of returning peace. But may we -"Let
the dead past bury its dead;
Act act in the living present! .
Heart within, and God o'erhead!"
The Cuban war was one new in the
ory. Wars have been waged for glory
and self-aggrandizement, for conquest
and power, to right some personal or
national wrong. . Not until the Cuban
war has one been waged solely for hu
manity's cause.; It was the fruit of our
civilization. A part of the duty in
trusted to the American people by the
fathers of our common country. It 13
but the natural sequence of our buth
and traditions; a partial fulfillment of
our mission. To have waited as we
did may have been' right, but to have
waited longer would . have been to
make ourselves- particeps criminis in
Spanish butchery. To permit a bloody
Nero to set foot on this continent In
the 19th century was a national dis
grace; to have permitted his outrage?
to have gone unpunished would have
been national dishonor. It must have
been the dawning of a new era when
back of an army of invasion was food
and clothing for the invaded. When
the flag of a conqueror was held by th3
conquered while they fitted their, peo
ple and their land ;f or one of thoir
own. The hardships of all the past
were repaid when the stars and
stripes were lowered by loving hands
and the Cuban flag, i the emblem of a
new nation raised in Its stead, by and
with the consent M:of - the governed.
Froud the day knowing that Colum
bia's sons had done their duty, and in
recognition thereof, ? through the veil
of a century, , reaching back through
the shadows of the past, by .the light of
the spirit of 1776 we can behold La
fayette shaking hands with the spirit
of the immortal Washington.
This unparalleled beginning, with its
smiles and its blessings, should be the
star that lights our pathway unto the
ending. May the memory of our na
tion's founders never cease to prompt
her sons to know, to dare and to do.
Thus ever presenting to the world an
example of the blessings of human lib
erty. An intelligent, patriotic nation,
ruled by the consent of the governed,
cannot perish from the earth.

THE LAWS ENACTED j
Results Unsatisfactory la View of the Long
Session Little Statesmanship Exhib
ited Sereral Yielons Bills Held
Till After Kleetlon
Washington, D. C, July 7, 1902.
(Special Correspondence.) With the
close of the session of congress, the
longest in the history of the country,
it is possible to sum up the record of
what has been accomplished during the
past seven months by the nation's law
makers. It is true that the session has
been marked by! a good deal of busi
ness activity, and many questions of
great and far-reaching importance
were considered, and yet, after all,
the results are not such as to warrant
particular commendation.
No marked feats of statesmanship
were performed in either body, the
proceedings in the house being distin
guishable for the Inexorable tyranny
of the rules and those in the senate
being enlivened by spasmodic resorts
to the rules in vogue in the prize-ring.
Among the larger measures to re
ceive legislative sanction was the isth
mian canal bill, linking together the
waters that wash the eastern' and
western shores of the country, after a
memorable fight that lasted during 25
sessions of congress against the most
powerful railroad lobby that ever de
bauched a law-making body or trailed
the ermine of the bench in the dust
of dishonor. This bill involves a
greater sum of money than was ever
before expended in a single enterprise,
with the exception of the expenditures
of the government to fasten upon an
unwilling people the yoke of colonial
vassalage and compel their acquiesc
ence In the brigandage , of carpet-baggers
from other lands.
, Thft PhlllnnlTift turitf and 'civil cov-
I ernment bills are others of far-reach
ing, it may ba said, of international
importance. These extend to our far
removed island possessions a system
of internal civil government, together
with tariff, coinage, currency, banking
and corporation, timber and home
stead laws. These laws are repugnant
to the American spirit and intended to
crush the spirit of the Filipino. ; In
tended as an Inducement to imperial
ism abroad, they cannot fail to lead
finally to despotism at home. History
fails to find any parallel for such
treatment from a republican form of
government to another intending ta
become such. There is a precedent for
the case in Sir Warren Hastings' rule
in India and it is safe to predict that
the scandals from the Philippine isl
ands in the months to come will fully
measure up to those which caused
the greatest trial In the history cf
English Jurisprudence.
Other general laws enacted may be
enumerated, thusly; The repeal of the
war revenue taxes, amounting 0 $73,
250,000 because of the agitation and
demand of the democrats in congress,
backed up by the people. The law to
extend the time of the operation of
the Geary Chinese exclusion law. Tha
law to extend for 20 years the char
ters of national banks. The law to
establish a permanent census bureau
The oleomargarine law to place a tax
of 10 cents per pound on substances
colored In imitation of butter. The
law to provide a diplomatic and con
sular service for Cuba.
The most important g all to the
west is the irrigation act, which cre
ates an irrigation fund in the United
States treasury, into which is to he
paid the proceeds from the sales of
public lands in the arid states. This
fund, in turn, Is to be used in storin?
water and establishing irrigation sys
tems, the irrigated sections to be open
to homesteaders, who are to bo
charged a proportionate share of the
cost of improvement. This measure
received almost solid democratic sup
port from all over the country and
was- strenuously opposed by every re
publican leader in the lower house.
Nebraska fusionists are to be especial
ly congratulated upon the part played
by their representatives in congress,
led by Mr. Shallenberger, in promot
ing the agitation and securing the
passage of this, the only measure . of
general importance to the welfare and
development of the western country.
It means thousands of dollars will be
expended in this state every year. It
means, too, . that the people of the
state made no mistake In sending men
to congress who will labor for the in
terests of their people at home rather
than squandering months of time in
enacting laws to make subjects of itf
alien race and furnish a prey for the
adventurers of all races;
The anti-anarchy bill goes over un
til some future time, because the house
and senate could not adjust their dif
ferences in conference. The bill to
admit Arizona, NewvMexico and Okla
homa into the union as states was de
feated because the party in power was
fearful lest the democrats might win
a majority of the members of congress
in both branches to which the trio
would be entitled. ' :
The ship subsidy bill passed . the sen
ate, but ; did, not, pass .the house , for
the reason that the republican party
did not dare to face the country upon
a question Involving the' actual theft
of millions from the public treasury to
bribe vast combines to engage in an
already profitable business. .
This is also true with respect to the
Fowler bill, a financial measure of th?
most importance ever introduced . in
congress and whose tendency is so
monarchistic as well as monopolistic
as to receive the condemnation 'of the
small bankers all over the land. Thes!
two bills will be enacted into law If
the party in power is Indorsed at the
fall elections.
.The bills to create a department of
commerce, to codify and improve the
immigration laws, to establish a Pa
cific cable, to provide for pure food
regulations, to define the meaning : f
conspiracy in injunction cases, all re
pose peacefully in the legislative
graveyard. . ,
The measure to elect senators by a
direct vote of the people, in favor of
which the sentiment of the country Is
almost universal, was passed in the
house, but defeated by the republican
majority in the senate.
The following measures of minor im
portance were also passed by both
houses: To prevent the sale of fire
arms, opium and intoxicating liquors
to certain natives of the Pacific isl
ands; -to promote the efficiency of tne
revenue cutter service and provide for
the retirement of its officers; to refund
the duties paid in Porto Rico on ar
ticles imported from the United States
during military occupation; . appro
priating $200,000 for the relief of tha
volcano sufferers in the West Indies;
authorizing the erection of Y. M. C. A.
buildings ,.on government military
reservations; regulating the Introduc
tion of eggs of game birds for purposes
of propagation; providing for the pro
tection of game in Alaska; refunding
the amount of legacy tax paid by char
itable, benevolent and eleemosynary
institutions. j,.
The total number of bills introduced
in the house during the recent session
was 15,330. Three committees of tho
house handled two-thirds of these
bills the committee on war claims
having 2,488 of these; the committed
on invalid pensions 6,500 and the com
mittee on military affairs 2,338. .
The present congress has been one
of the most extravagant in the his -tory
of the country. The appropria

Not only has the republican party
failed to enact any measures of re

of the trusts, but has actually placed
more clubs in the hands of industrial

This, in brief, is the record of the
lepublican party during the first ses
sion of the Fifty-seventh congress. It
is a" continuation of the practice for
the last eight years, and in the very
nature of things, it cannot be else so
long as the; country consents to be
ruled by an agent of the protected la
"A full dinner pail" and "Let well
enough alone" cries of the republican
party have now been succeeded by the
admonition "Don't eat meat." Strikes

lines of business for living wages do
not harmonize well with a shout for
"reciprocity." ' -
A government which does. Justice to
every man in every walk of life.which
promotes contentment at home and
peace abroad; whose civilization is a
safeguard to the nation's honor and
the best protection to her security of
place among world powers, and whos
righteousness of conduct is the Inspira
tion of just mankind everywhere, Is
the real destiny pf this republic.
That measure; of destiny cannot be
fulfilled until the people themselves
remove from power and authority the

THE DIVIDING LINE
... i
Louis IT. Post Points Out the XHridtng Llna
Between Socialism and Municipal
Ownership
Great ado has been made recently
by the Chicago Chronicle over what
it is pleased to call "socialistic" -tendencies
in the democratic party, it
alludes to the municipalization or pun
lie monopolies, such as the street car
systems. But the Chronicle proves
Itself to be more socialistic than the
municipal ownership democrats at
whom it fires that epithet. In one of
its anti-socialist editorials it says:
"If we municipalize the traction com
panies, we ought to be consistent ana
municipalize everything." Now, that
is precisely the way a socialist would
look at the matter. Like the Chron
icle he sees no difference between pub
lic ownership of public monopolies and
public ownership of private, business.
But precisely at that point lies the di
viding line between socialistic aspira
tions and true Individualism. The
latter dstlnguishes the differences be
tween public monopolies and private
businesses. The former do not They
bundle them all together, Just as the
Chronicle does.' The only difference
is that the Chronicle would have puo
lic monopolies privately owned be
cause private businesses ought to be,
whereas the socialist would have pri
vate business publicly owned because
public monopolies ought to be. Tho
true individualistic principle is that
of the law books illustrated by th3
leading railroad condemnation case
which we summarized at page 165,
and recently approved by the interstate
commerce commission, that a business
which in its nature requires a conces
sion or delegation of, power from the
public is a public and not a private
business The Public, Chicago.
Casing a Watch
Ordinary watch works may general
ly be made effective timekeepers by
careful and strong casing. The finest
grades of watch works require very
strong casing to protect their. delicate
mechanism. The best of all cases for
either class is the Jas. Boss Stiffened
Gold Watch Case.
This is a gold case stiffened in the
center with a plate of hard metal to
prevent It getting thin and weak and
bending down on the works, as a gold
case does after a few years' wear.
The outside plate of gold is very
heavy, much more than is ever worn
from a solid gold case and much more
than can be worn off in a third of a
century's hard service. , In fact this
outside plate of gold is a quarter of
an inch thick when the process of roll
ing down commences. At any rate,
the Jas. Boss case is guaranteed 25
years, and none was ever known to
wear out.
Jewelers everywhere keep a full
stock of these elegant cases they have
sold more than 7,000,000 of them in tha
last 35 years. Ask your dealer to seo
them, or for the book showing why a
Jas. Boss Stiffened Gold case is bet
ter than a solid gold case, write to the
Keystone Watch Case Company, Phil
