FROM THE
COMMONER
MR. BRYAN'S PAPER
THE FOURTH OF JULY.
A correspondent ,1ms asked first,
what can bo done to ptomote a move
ment for a moro snne celebration of
tho Fourth of July and to correct a
somewhat perverted patriotic sentl
inont. Second, what can bo done to
prepare tho children and youth for
tho high duties of Christian citizen
ship. As tho day approaches for the
annual celebration of tho Fourth of
July it Is woll that preparation should
bo mado for celebrations In harmony
with the national sentiment that led
our forefathers to set apart this day
as a public holiday. Our failure to
celebrate this day Is not a good sign
and even where It Is celebrated, the
fact that the celebration turns to
amusements rather than to the Berlous
contemplation of the subjects suggest
ed by tho day, this fact Is likewise
slgnlilcant of a lack of respect for the
day.
The Fourth of July is a national
holiday because on thnt day the na
tion's Independence was declared nnd
it Is considered as tho birthday of the
republic. Patriotism would suggest an
appropriate celebration In every com
munity a celebration at which the
people would gather to bestow merited
pralso upon our forefathers: to dis
cuss tho fundamental principles of
methods of government; to review the
achievements of tho past; to consider
tho dangers that menace the future;
and to lay plans for the perpetuity of
a government of tho people, by the
people and for tho people. Amuse
ments can bo Introduced In the pro
gram but tho amusements ought to be
Incidental and not tho main feature
of tho day. Is It not possible for the
people to lny aside for at least one day
out of tho year their interest In mate
rial prosperity and consider the ques
tions vitally concerning our national
life and our national destiny?
When tho parents commemorate tho
Fourth of July as they should. It will
bo easy to prepare the children for
the duties of citizenship. Wo are all
Imitators to a greater or less extent
nnd the children nre quite sure to be
impressed by the notions and con
versations of their elders. The best
way to prepare our children for the
discharge of tho high duties of citizen
ship Is to be Bcrupuously careful our
selves about the dlschargo of the
duties of citizenship. If parents are
Indifferent to the observance of .the
Fourth of July, their children nre apt
to be. If tho paronts prefer amuse
nionts on that day, tho children are
apt to prefer amusements, too. It is
not necessary that there (should bo an
elnborato nddrcss by a distinguished
speaker, although an impressive nd
dress by ono who enjoys tho confi
dence of tho people Is entirely fitting.
Tho Declaration of Independence
should bo read, national airs ought to
be sung and thoso who aro leaders of
thought in their community ought to
glvo expression to their views. It
ought to bo a day for the freo ox
chango of sentiment and for the
stimulation of thought about public
questions and interest In public af
fairs. The indlfferenco with which some
now speak of tho vital principles sot
forth in tho Declaration of Independ
ence ought to lead to moro zeal on tho
part of thoso who defend tho Declar
ation of Independence. Colonialism
would not havo been accepted so com
plncently by bo many had thero boon
tho interest there ought to havo been
in tho constant discussion of the prin
ciples of freo government. Imperial
ism would not havo found tho recep
tion that It did had tho Fourth of July
been observed as it ought to havo
been observed, nnd tho advocates of
imperialism and colonialism will grow
less in proportion as the people take
an active Interest in the perpetuation
of tho ideals of government that led
tho patriots of 177G to promulgate tho
Declaration of Independence nnd
pledge to Its support thoir lives, their
property and their sacred honor.
Tho Interesting discovery has boen
mado that tho panic of 1007-08 began
almost on tho date that President
Roosovolt ordered tho motto tuken
from tho gold coins. That ought to re
lievo tho g. o. p. of responsibility.
A PREJUDICED VIEW.
Roforrlng to Mr. llrynn's statement
at tho governors' meeting recontly
hold nt tho Whlto House that "Not nil,
but most of tho contentions over tho
line botweon nation and stato are
traceable to predatory corporations
which aro trying to shield themselves
from doserved punishment, or endeav
oring to provent needed restraining
legislation;"
Wouldn't It havo been a fairer state
mont and moro truo, to havo said,
"Not all, but most of tho contentions
ovor the lino botween nation nnd state
are traceablo to tho onactment of not
needed, uncalled for, unfair, unjust nnd
unconstitutional laws by incompotent
and prejudiced stato legislatures, un
der the lnfluonco of tho prevalent
domagoguory of olllco seeking leadors,
and tho attompt to enforco, to tho ex
treme, part of such laws by lucompo
tont, voto seeking Btato commissions,
thoreby compelling tho owners of cor
porate property thus discriminated
against, to appeal to tho broader Jus
tlco of tho federal cqurts for their
rights under tho supremo law of tho
land."
Is It patriotism, or an nppcaj to tho
unUiisktug for support that impels a
public man to condemn tho foderal
courts for their protection of tho
rights of citizens of this republic, un
der Its supreme law as against tho
enactment and attempted enforcement
of laws as above referred to?
(Signed) READER.
Tho nbove communication has been
received nt The Commoner oillce.
Tho writer affixes his nnmo to the let
ter, but for publication signs tho nnmo
"Reader." Tho Commoner is glnd to
glvo "Reader" spaco for tho expression
of his opinion, not only ns a matter of
courtesy to him, but ns a matter of
information to thu public. He is an
nsslstanl in tho ofllco of a railroad
president nnd represents tho extreme
railroad view. The language em
ployed by him Is sufficient to convict
him In any court of being so warped in
his views that he holds tho public in
contempt and considers tho public
and their representatives as conspira
tors against the railroads.
His position Is identical with that
taken by many of tho railroad offi
cials in tho past; thoy sent their lob
byists to tho national and stato cap
Itols; they praised evory man ns a
statesman whoso car was trained to
catch tho pulsations of a pocketbook
and denounced every man as a dema
goguo who was against wholesale ex
ploitation of tho masses. There Is evi
dence, however, that some of tho rail
road managers havo seen tho error of
this position nnd now recognize tho
right of the people to be consulted In
matters ntTcctlng the railroads. Tho
tallioad is a quasi-public corporation
and it owes certain duties to its pa
trons. Theso patrons can only speak
through legislation and their right to
speak Is no longer denied.
Tho men who nre engaged In legiti
mate railroading understand that wo
are entering upon a new era and they
havo no sympathy with tho opinion
expressed in tho nbove communica
tion. Instend of characterizing tho
people as "unthinking;" instead of de
nouncing legislatures as a mob; In
stead of slandering stato governments
and state courts the fair minded man
admits the Iniquity of the pass, the re
bate and the discrimination between
pcoplo nnd places and proposes to
meet tho public In a spirit of candor
and discuss' the questions at Ibsuo In
an opon and honornblo way.
Lot us hope that the number of such
railroad men may increase and that
their Influence may secure harmonious
cooperation between tho railroads
and their patrons. Tho railroads aro
necessary to the country, but the coun
try Is no loss necessary to tho rail
roads. The railroads have helped to
settle up tho wa3te places, but tho
settling up of the wasto places has
been of great advantage to the rail
roads. The honest railroad managers ought
to separate themselves from tho ex
ploiters nnd take their place on the
side of tho public. Anyone who holds
tho opinions expressed by tho "Read
er" nbove or who lookB at tho subject
from his viewpoint cannot hopo to
moot legislators in the spirit thnt Is
necessary for an anil cable adjustment
of differences.
No reformer, however violent his
remedies; no ngltator, however unfair
his arguments has over gone to great
er length In abusing the railroads than
tho railroad employe signing himself
"Render" has gono in abusing the pub-,
lie. It is fortunato for tho railroads nn
well ns for tho public that "Reader"
represents tho past rather than tho
present, tho departing rather than tho
coming day. Tho wlso railroad offi
cial cannot fail to recognize that there
has been a basis for past complaints
and that tho public sense of justlco,
which when offended has cried out for
reforms, will when satisfied protect
patron nnd stockholder alike from in
justice. "No reduction In tho price of steel"
is tho announcement following tho
meeting of tho directors of tho steel
trust. "No restriction of tho oppor
tunities to steal" Is tho announcement
from tho Republican mnjorlty in con
gress, nnent tho matter of .tariff re
vision. MAKE THE CONSUMER PAY.

Comment and Suggestive Thought.
The country was but little larger
than Wales, and, like It, "u land of
mountains and hills, skirted through
Its whole length by the deep lying Jor
dnn valley on the east, and lite harbor
less coast of the Mediterranean on the
west. The lay of tho land gradually
developed different qualities, and mad --
natural barriers between tribes, where
tho menus of cnniiuunlcatlon were so
difficult nnd rate."
The twelve tribes were of one blood,
ono lellglon, one language, and one
history, but there wan little of tho
L-olidurity of a nation. The social unit
wns the tilbe. Each tribe had Its own
political organization. They were
loosely held together, and sotnet lines
broke out Into open war.
The people were tin ngrlcultutnl peo
pie, untrained In the nils of war.
lovers of home nnd of peace. Their
wealth consisted In flocks, grain fields
ami vlneyaidri. Hence they were ex
posed to the raids of their warlike
relghbor, ns the l.owlanders of Scot
bind were to the forays of the High
landers. The people lived In walled
villages for safety, while their outly
ing Ileitis, vineyards and pasture land"
were exposed.
Their enemies weie warlike and on
every Hide, always more or less hos
tile. The warlike commercial Philis
tines lined the western shore with Its
rich plains. The Amalekltes on the
couth, nnd the desert tribes on the
oast of the Jordan were ever seeking
whom they might devour.
The government wiib a kind of re
public. "The organization wns at
best exceedingly primitive." Fre
quent reference Is made to the "men
of tho town" (nn for example Judg.
9:2, C, 21!, 2(5, et seq.), suggesting thnt
most matters of public Interest weru
decided by a council including all the
freo men of a city.
Tho Transition Period. Tho condi
tions thnt tended to unity wore central
ized In Samuel, Qraetz' History of the
Jews, volume 1, furnishes nn excel
lent account of which the following Is
a summary:
1. Samuel himself, the most strik
ing figure of tho nation, wns In him
self a strong unifying forrce.
2. Samuel's irresistible eloquence for
a revival of true religion found a
powerful response in many hearts.
3. He traveled tho whole land, ap
pointed public meetings, and an
nounced to the multitudes tho les
sons revealed to him by the spirit of
Cod. Year aftor year he called to
gether the elders of tho people. At
Ramnh, his residence, frequent meet
ings of tho tribes took place.
4. At divine services Samuel offered
sacrifices, Introducing the uso of
stringed Instruments to arouse de
vout feelings, and added a now ele
ment, songs of pralso. Samuel, the an
cestor of the celebrated psalmists, tho
sons of Koran, wns the first who com
posed songs of prnlso for divine
service.
5. The tribe of Judnh, who, during,
tho entire period of the Judges lintl
not taken tho slightest share In pub
lic ovents, was now driven by tho in
cursions of tho Philistines to ttnlto
with tho other tribes. They brought
an accession of strength and religious
activity.
C. It must bo noted that just at this
period Israel's greatest enemies, tho
Phllstlnes, were transformed into a
kingdom.
V. C. "Hut tho thing displeased
Samuel." 1. It was tho choosing of
"the second best," when "tho best"
wns possible to them. Ilenco It wns
a great disappointment to Samuel.
His long llfo of teaching nnd training
had not accomplished Its purpose.
They refused their high prlvllego of
Irolng unllko nil tho nntlons.tho chosen
peoplo of God, tho means of blessing
all nations.
So Esau bartered his birthright for
a mess of pottage.
2. It was n rejection of God. V. 7.
"Thoy havo rejected mo thnt I should
not reign over them." It Ib quite prob
ublo that they half consciously want
ed a king, becntiBe thoy woro tired of
having their prosperity depend on
their good behavior. Tho leaders
God chose for them could succeed
only when the people turned to God.
Hut the king might not press them so
hardly, but conquer by his skill nnd
organizing power.
V. 10. "Tho peoplo refused to obey."
R. V., to hearken unto "tho voice of
Samuel." Thoy simply were not good
enough to havo tho best government.
