Omaha 'Printing any been in Virginia, in Pennsylvania, in South Carolinla In any one of thirteen colonies. The rame spirit of protest against tyranny and oppression as rife . every where, and the British might have met the same resistance at any other point. Seldom has the first gun in any war been fired under more peculiar circumstances. It still is a disputed question as to which side actually did fire the first shot. The British were under orders. It was claimed, not to fire first Certainly the Ameri cans were. Borne' of the Americans Claimed that the 'British ' started firing. All of the British declared that the Amer icans did it. The most probable theory seems to be that, after all, the real first shot was nothlnff more than flash In the pan of an antiquated flintlock" musket In the hands of a' Minute man'. In his nervousness he accidentally pulled ' the trigger, but only the cap 'exploded.. The crmsn commander accepted Is' as a shot, Po.wif4r',-'''art''6rflW1a'--hrr!',rnVn''o ' Kti: The first gun of 'the revolution may have been a flint lock flaale, but the Btars and' Stripes of today Is a living witness that a bad beginning did not make a bad ending. . Patriots' day as a lepal Institution had Its origin In he old time Fast day m Massachusetts. "or many years the gov ernor of that commonwealth annually pro claimed a Fast day.' Gradually In practloe tho Fast day by proclamation became a feast day by observance, a Fast day ob served chiefly by Its desecration. Then the legislature took up the matter and de clared that the Fast day should be abol ished and Patriots' day substituted. This was done, and In 1S34 Patriots' day was celebrated for the first time. The celebra tions this year promise . to be more ex tensive than ever. All over New England ar,d In .many parts of the country It will be obsef ved. ' ' ' . : It Is one of the coincidences of history that nearly all of tho Important ' wars in which the, United States has had'.a part have begun in April. The Revolution began April 19. The embargo act leading up to the war of 1812 was passed by con gress In April; the Black Hawk Indian war began April 21. and the war with Mexico April l Sumter wps fired on In Aprli, and the first bloodshed of the Civil war occurred on the ninety-sixth anniversary of4he first bloodshed of the Revolution; The Spanish war began on April 23. The man who said thst If he could write the ballads of .a .nation he would not care trho did anything else, might have had Concord and Lexington In mind when he said it. "Listen, my children, and you hall hear the midnight ride of Paul Re vere," has kept Concord and Lexingtcn fresh in the minds 'of many who almost forget . Saratoga and Yorktown. Revere has left his own version of that famous lide. He wrote It for the Massachusetts Historical society in 17DH. At the( time of the ride he was 40 years of age. ' He was not a' novice In the business of express riding;; having, been employed by ,the se lectmen of Boston to carry the news of the feaV party to New York, and at other tims to carry messages to tho Continental con gress at New York and Phiiudolphla. In the winter of 1774-5 .ha aud thirty other mechanics organized themselves into an association for watching the British troops. Every man of them swore upon a Bible at each meeting that he would not divulg anything that transpired, except to certain prominent and authorised per sons. When It was discovered that the British Intended to advance, another messenger head to notify John Hancock the command given the Americans, and they heeded It so well that the British were forced to retreat. And such a retreat as It was! From every bush, every rock, and every tree there came a well-directed shot that laid some British soldier low. The KnRlish were given a taste of the kind of warfare the Indians had meted out to Brad dock on his Pennsylvania' march, and the English historian Stedman declares that when they reached the hospitable rein forcements under Percy their tongues hung out like dogs after a phase. Lord Percy's band had played Yankee Doodle in deris ion,, but it was . silent by the time It got back to Boston. , . . Tho fight at Concord was full of. Inter esting Incidents.. It Is a well established fact tiiat here the British fired first, wnile the Minute men were protesting against their tearing up a bridge. They searched the house of Colonel Barrett. Mrs.' Barrett gave the red Coats food, but refused pay on "the Biblical ground 4 that whel ' an' enemy hungers he is to be fed.". She suc ceeded in covering up many valuable stores. It was reported after .the battle of Concord that many of the British had beon scalped by the Minute men, after the fashion of the Indians. . .General Gage, even transmitted this report to. the English war office. The way it came about seems to have been that an English eoldler"who had been wounded shot a boy who had come down to the creek for water. This so angered the boy that lie took a hatchet and brained the wounded soldier. The annual observance of this day In Massachusetts is of inestimable benefit in that it Impresses upon the minds of the youth of the state the part played by Massachusetts and New England In the struggle for American Independence. It Is to be compared to the celebrations In North Carolina of the anniversaries of the Hali fax independence resolutions on April 12, and of the signing of tho Mecklenburg declaration of Independence on May SO. and to the celebration In Vermont of August 16 as Bennington Battle day. Wash ington's birthday and the Fourth of July serve to keep alive' the memories of the more general events of the war of Inde pendence. These atate holidays 'serve to remind the people of the states of the part taken by their immediate section In that memorable struggle. I sx a-jsx.uio J. XJiSKZIr. Tomorrow Indian Danoea. rian May D Tried of rotln Slns A Ions; the Walks to Serve as t'oaataat Reminders to the rsibllo. Some of the members of the city coun cil are combining to resuscitate the sntl spltting ordinance.' This may be done by putting up signs, such as thry have In Minneapolis, "Do Not Spit on the Side walk." Councilman C. M. Davis, of the Twelfth ward, the only unmarried councilman. Is taking the lead In the movement to have the ordinance enforced. "As I go about the city, many spots can be noticed where some thoughtless cltlsen has done his best to convert the sidewalk Into a close re semblance to the garbage end of a pig pen," said Mr. Davis. "This may be done In the spirit of 'a has the ordinance,' or It may be pure carelessness,' but It certainly ought to be stopped." . Councilman Davis Is to te married early In May and is building a residence for him self where he will settle down for good. "Of course, tha near' approach of his nuptial day has Its etfoct on Councilman Davis." said Judge Berka, "but that is be side the question. "Wo. have the antl- epitting ordinance on the books, and It should be honored. It Is not pleasant for ladles, as Mr. Davis pointed out In a con sultation with me, to have their skirts dragging through tobaoco juice; to be com pelled to walk through sees of expectora tions, or to have their attention detracted from the poise of their hats by the neces sity for dodging hither and yon on the sidewalks. I certainly am . In favor of preserving the etntento -eordlale maintained between the ladies and the council, as much as Councilman Davis, and I propose to back up Councilman Hummel when he delivers the speech he has prepared on the subject for the Woman's club.' ... Chief Donahue admits the ordinance has probably been overlooked to some extent of late, in that no arrelets have been made. "Most men spit on the walks because of thoughtlessness rather Ulan from any other reason," said the chief. "I am Inclined to believe a little card of warning such as is posted In Minneapolis Would have a good effect. Naturally, an "orflcer tires of eternally calling people down on the strata. iiu puiiL-o supervision . such a matter should not be the sole governing factor In an enlightened city like Omaha- However, I suppose we shall havei jtp get busy and make an example of the careless expec- loraiors."
