Tie Fourth Abroad.
Every year tha Fourth of July la
celebrated In all largo European cap
ital! by American sojourning; .abro id,
but thta year there waa an observance
of more than ordinary Interest !a
Denmark, whro nattra Denes, now
cltlseos of tho United Btatee, obsered
tha day. Tha crown prlneo of Den
mark and other high Danish officials
ttended and tho Dantsh-Atnerlcana
Bounded the pralaea of their new home.
Not many yeara ago such a celebra
tion would bare beep, Impossible, but
today It could occur In any country
except, perhapa, Russia. The Influence
of American ideaa bee become world
wide and haa touched every clvtllied
land. Academically they reach the stu
dent, and more potent still haa been
the correspondence and Intercourse
between Immigrants and relativea and
frlenda left behind. A century aco
American Ideaa of liberty would have
been held treasonable If taught abroad.
Today they are the basic principle of
early every government In Europe,
and the foreigner who sought liberty
and opportunity In the United Statea
haa not been the only beneficiary of
his move.
The emigrant who cornea to Amer
ica and writes bfa old home or returna
either aa a visitor or to live there la
bringing the old world and tho new
closer together commercially, socially
and govern men tally. The doctrine that
all men were created equal In oppor
tunity waa not meant for America
alone and all civilized nations are
rawing toward that Ideal.
Something- About Cheeie.
There la cheese and cheese and then
more cheese, and this applies to vari
eties aa well as quantities. If you do
not believe It you should read a bul
letin Issued by the Department of Ag
riculture at Washington, In which 242
varieties of cheese are listed and short
descriptions given aa to processes of
manufacture. There are cheeses made
cow'a milk, goat's milk, sheep's
milk and milk of several other ani
mals. There are cheeses which are
hard and some that are soft, there are
some which smell to heaven and some
with the odor of sage and various
other herbs, and there are cheeses
again which have no odor. In addition
to the 242 varletlea officially listed
there are at least two more, good and
bad, and If any others escaped, the
census taker should catch them when
he makes his rounds next year.
Nearly every part of the civilized
world 'has a cheese which la peculiar
to itself and the customs returns Indi
cate that each and every one of the
makers Insists the people of the
United Statea eat some of their prod
uct. The Free Trade Ghost.
Like a voice from the tombs comes
the call for free traders to awake and
take an aggressive part in politics.
The doctrine of free trade at one time
had a powerful following In the United
Statea, Its advocates almost controll
ing the democratic party when It waa
a more potential minority than now.
The logic of events haa dissipated Its
Illusions so thoroughly that not a sin
gle free trade advocate haa appeared
In the tariff debate in congress, the
only differences there being over par
ticular schedules and the degree of
protection, Every great commercial
nation In the world except Great Brit
ain haa abandoned free trade and even
there careful observers predict lta
downfall In the near future.
In the face of such conditions, the
appeal of free trade theorists la not
likely to strike a responsive chord
Great Britain could not maintain Ha
industries on a free trale basis even
now were It not for consuming colo
nies which have protective tariffs and
grant the mother country preferential
dutlea. No other country has such a
consuming population outside - Its
home boundarlea and the colonies are
almply doing for Great Britain what
other natlona do for themselves. The
history of the United Statea, with lta
wonderful growth in wealth and pop
ulatlon la the ever present object les
son that the protective tariff works
well In practice in a country In process
of developing lta resources and the
free trade la attractive only in theory
Demand for Harvest Hands.
The perennial cry of a acarclty of
harvest bands is again going up all
over the grain belt and as usual there
Is no relief In sight Small grain farm
Ing, like every other Industry which
demands many laborers for a ahort
time, must alwaya suffer with little
possibility of relief when labor Is gen
erally employed except by better dis
tribution and greater, mobility of the
available workmen. Efforts to Induce
the city laborer to seek the harvest
field have alwaya failed because the
city laborer will not go to the farms
and would be of little use there if he
went
The tramp harvest band who Is
mobile of his own volition affords the
only solution ever offered the farmer
but the tramp follows the trunk rail
way lines aa a rule and the more re
mote districts get no help. No serious
effort haa been made to bring thl
only available aourca of aupply and
the need In touch with each other
The railways, through their Indus
trial departments, could do a great
service to agricultural sections If they
would undertake the Intelligent an
equitable distribution of this ttlneran
labor, and at tha same time Increase
their ultimate traffic by saving har
vest losses to farmers. No other or
ganisation possesses so well equipped
machinery for ascertaining the need
and aource of aupply. The prosperity
of tha farmer is the railroad's prosper
Ity and the rallroada have it In the!
power to perform a great public eer
vlce while benefiting themselves.
Cheer Up, Edftr.
The order of tha federal court re
quiring tho Nebraska deposit guaranty
law to prove lta constitutionality be
fore aettlng up In business seems to
have hit out old friend, Edgar How
ard, In the tear valvea. We are really
sorrow for the grief-stricken Edgar,
who, apparently, feela worse over this
sad -calamity than he did last year
when his congressional ambition waa
slain by the keen edge of the check
book. In his sorrow Edgar haa writ
ten a pathetic obituary over the cor
pus delictu, embellished with deep
mourning bands at top and bottom,
from which we reprint Just one para
graph :
t am standing- at another open grave this
morning a grave In the judicial cemetery
In Lincoln a grate In which la to ba eon
algned ona dear to all Nebrmskans who
love the right. Popular Oovernmont Is the
name of the dead.
Alas! Poor Yorlck! That Popular
Government abould be slain and the
people not realize HI That Popular
Government who sprang "direct
from the fathera of the Republic,"
should He there, cold and lifeless,
bile the people, in spite of Edgar's
lamentations, 'go right on celebrntlng
the Glorious Fourth, In commemora
tion of priceless liberty Vhlch they
received from their ancestors and are
handing down to posterity enriched
with additional blessings. '
But Edgar should remember that
one of the political heroes he blindly
orshlps declared nearly ten years
ago that unless he was elected presli
dent the Fourth of July would no
longer grace our calendars, and still
this same matchless orator continues
to deliver Fourth of July addresses
for the usual division of the gate re
ceipts. So we say, cheer up, Edgar. Popu-
ar Government In Nebraska haa sur
vived many rude shocks and we may
still pin faith to its resurrection.
One Part of Liberal Education.
Discussing the five-foot book shelf
as the foundation of a liberal educa
tion, the New York Independent comes
back with the assertion that just what
constitutes a liberal education cannot
be defined, and that It depends upon
the community and the age. The In-
ependent even denies that merely
going through college will give a lib
eral education, because a liberal edu
cation rests upon many constituent
elements. In enumerating these ele
ments the first place la given, not to
books at all, but to the dally newspa
per. Quoting from the Independent:
For a moderately liberal education a man
must ba able fairly to apprehend the cur
rent history of the world. Ha ahould flrit
read a good dally paper. Ha can skip all
that doea not make history, tha accidents,
the crimes, tha society events, tha game
and races, the aotraases and divorces: but
a cannot omit the major events, the
proceaa and progresa of legislation, tha
movemente of democracy, the conflicts of
privilege, the discoveries In science, the In'
ventlona In tha arts, tha dlplomaoy of na
tions and tha general advance of elvllisa
tlon. For these are the things that a man
of liberal education should ba able lntelll
gently to understand. These things are of
Importance to humanity, and to have them
foreign from one'a education leaves It ut
terly Illiberal. Therefore the first thing
necessary la not a book for the ahelf, but
a broad Intelligent journal for the table.
Whether we put the newspaper first
or last, few people will contend that
In this day and age it could be omit
ted from the prerequisites of a liberal
education. It only goea to ahow tha
relativity of what oonstltutea a liberal
education, because the dally newspa
per datea back hardly a century, and
printed books only a few centuries bo-
fore that, although some people In all
eras must have possessed liberal edu
cations. In putting the emphasis on
the books, aa In the five-foot shelf
Idea, the danger la that the newspa
pers, and other factors also Important,
may be ignored, and that It Itself
would Indicate a lack of liberal educa
tion.
And now the demo-pop organs are
taking another tack. They are telling
the bankera that although the deposit
guaranty law which takea their money
to pay other people's debts may be
Illegal, they ought to submit to it
anyway. The champions of the guar
anty law must be losing faith In its
resisting powers.
Bishop Williams of Michigan dla
played courage of a high order when
he assailed the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution, but the bishop Is mis
taken when he aaya It la not a militant
body. A perusal of the proceedings of
the annual convention would convince
him of hla error.
Ex-President Castro Is being frozen
out of all the Venezuelan companies
in which he held largo blocka of stock
Aa he put nothing Into them except
official influence, it la only fair that
when he lost his official influence he
should lose his stock.
Another one of the water-logged
trusts la In trouble, the National Starch
company being the one that needs re
organising. Incidents like this show
that the Inveator haa an Interest In

Plattsmouth Journal: Omaha business
men are kicking hard and long against the

alon of the legislature. And when the
matter ta looked at In the proper light
no one can blame them very much. Rome
members of the legislature had a pick at
Omaha from the time they landed In Lin
coln until they went home after adjourn
ment, and there was nothing too mean for
them to do against Omaha. The same with

It because they thought such a law would

Weat Point Republican: Governor final-
It nberger said In his recent Kearney ban
quet speech concerning the liquor legisla
tion In the last legislature: "I have heard
rumors of disapproval from democratic re-
rudiatbrs and republican nulllflers, hut
these lawa are notice to the world that
democracy and decency have Joined hands
In the state of Nebraska and all hell cannot
ut them assunder." That "listens" good
after the election, but In view of the fact
that the governor has been convicted of
flirting outrageously with both ends of the
proposition before the eleotlon It must be
taken and accepted as a clever little Itngle
and nothing more. Having thrown down
one line of supporters now he probably
III throw down the other line at some
future time.
Kearney Hub: Bryan la undoubtedly de
ceiving himself In tha assumption that
there I a growing sp'lt In the republican
parly that affords a chance for democratic
success In the next presidential election.
At tha same time ha Is also doubtless de
ceiving himself with the hope that there
will ba another opportunity for Bryan,
through a coalition of Bryanlsm and the
progressive" element In the republican
party. And not only ta he afflicted with a
fatal blindness In these particulars, but
also in the depth and extent of loyalty of
many thousands of democrats throughout
he country, not omitting the democratic
leadera of his own state, who are saying
Pice things In resolutions and rendering
formal Up service while quietly hoping and
'annlng and combining to rid the party
of his leadership.
Grand Island Independent: Barring a
few exclusively political papers and a few
of the most ardeiiti democratic politicians,
tha people of Nebraska ara not going to
get very muoh eaetted over the Injunction
hanging up tha bank deposit guaranty law
until the supreme Court ahall have decided
the constitutionality of the measure. This
Is true because the. banks of Nebraska a
year or mora ago had a supreme test and
everyone of them came through without
so much aa a visible scratch. They are.
aa a whole, carefully managed and well
flnanoed. Taking our own community and
vicinity aa an example It would be diffi
cult to find many depositors who had any
doubt as to tha aafety of their deposits and
tha few who might have doubt would prob
ably not ba able to advance any reason
for the doubt. And there la little reason
te believe that other communltlea In the
atate are In any different condition. The
law probably has some good features when
Irresponsible and Inexperienced people get
Into tha banking business the older and
safer banks will have to act aa a sort of
chaperon and financial backer, and Inno-
eant depositors In suoh Institutions will not
be subject to tha losses thsy otherwise
might be, but at tha moment there does
not appear to be much alarm among de
positors on account of the temporary In
junction, because there ara few, If any,
of such banks lo the state.

Companies A and D of th signal corps
have completed field work at Fort Leav
enworth. This work waa carried on during
the month of June In th preparation ef
technical drill regulations for tha signal
corps. Contpany D haa returned to Ita reg
ular station at Fort Omaha and Company
A retains Its former station at Fort Leav
enworth. A lengthy report of the work of
these companies and pertaining to tha tech
nical drill regulations which are being for
mulated has been rendered and la now In
the hands of th chief signal officer
of th army. Th work was carried on
under direction of Major Edgar Russell,
assistant commandant of tha signal school,
who was assisted by the officers attached
to the companies and to th signal school.
The recommendations of the board of
army subsistence officers, lately In session
at Fort Riley, Kan., haa reached tha War
department. They relet mainly to th
new field range nd field oven which have
been under practical test and subjected to
careful examination. Certain minor mod
ifications have been suggested by th ex
perts In the models, a description of which,
together with with Illustrations, has been
published In these columna. Th field
range which Is suggested for adoption by
the War department as an army standard
la one capable of providing for an organi
sation of war strength. Th field oven
is of the eontlmous baking type, with the
capacity of about 180 rations. The reports
from the board at Fort Riley hav been
submitted to th general staff of th War
department for comment.
The purchase of bicycles for us at mili
tary posts Is held to be a proper charge
against the appropriation for th transpor
tation of th army and Ita supplies. This
decision of the assistant comptroller of
the treasury follows one mad In Ootober,
1906, In which It. waa held that th appro
priation was applicable to tha payment of
the cost of automobilea or touring car
purchased during that year for tha use of
the quartermaster's department. Th prin
ciple underlying these decisions Is that th
transportation of troops Is plaoed under
the control and supervision of th secre
tary of war and It la mad th duty of
the quartermaster's department under di
rection of the sectetary to furnish proper
means of transportation for th array.
Tha keenest Interest attached to tha action
which will ba taken by tha comptroller of
the treasury on the representations which
have been made to him for a reopening of
the claims for army longevity pay In which
many officers of the army ar concerned.
Th auditor for th War department
haa refused to consider these cases, It Is
understood, mainly for the reason that a
favorable action on the claims would neces
sitate th appropriation of a large amount
of money. Thla doea not appeal to moat
people aa an eminently just determination
of legitimate claims, th merit of which
has been sustained by a supreme court
decision. Bom of the claims have been
paid, about thirty being represented In a
certified account which waa sent to con
greaa at the last session. Th fact that
some claims -have been settled and many
other claims have not been reopened consti
tutes a situation which cannot fall of be
ing regarded as Inconsistent and unjust.
Th appeal, which is now before the comp
troller, appears to leave no opportunity
for th further postponement of theaa Just
clalma and it will be Interesting to observe
whether . the comptroller's office can fur
ther evade th Issue now so directly pre

'TIs sweet to alt and dream
While strenuous duties crowd
Of vale and hill 'and stream
And Idly drifting cloud:
'TIs sweet to close one's eyes
To the worries of today
And feast the Inward vision
With dreams of far away.
What clear pools tippling He,
What bird notes lure thee far
Beyond aroufstomed scenes,
Where beauteous landscapea are;
Where slips th golden day
Adown aome distant crest;
8he beckons you to come
To th luxuriant west.
Tes, It is joy to roam
In fancy, but In fact,
Vacation hours their toll.
Are careful to exact;
'Tie sweet to wander far.
Where dance these western rills;
I lov vacation time
But, oh, you bills'
