Technically at peace with the world, but actually under arms, the people calmly await developmentt that will de termine our courte at to the delicate tituation along the touthern border. The portent, happily, it not to ominout at it wat a few dayt ago, and hope for amicable adjustment of the pressing affairs with Mexico it fully warranted. However, the public it well prepared for whatever may transpire. The Fourth of July it marked by eventt that are intpiring to the utmott degree. Vicksburg and Gettysburg, and Santiago thed their luster on the day, and make even more sacred the proceedings at Philadelphia 140 yeart ago. It wat then thit nation wat born, most solemnly dedicated to the cause of human liberty. Its battles since have been fought for mankind, with nothing of selfish purpose or tinister design following the victorious armies that pressed on to widen the bounds wherein man should be free at his Maker in tended. No stain of conquett mart the beauty of itt banner, snd under it lives no slave save him who it held in bondage by ignorance, prejudice or passion. The eternal principles enunciated on July 4, 1776, are still a guiding light for humanity, and a goal to which all enlightened endeavor tends. On them rests our government, and under it liberty continually hat ne birth, and each day- sees a free people rededicate ittetf to the perpetuation of the faith of the fathera. America musf always be an example for all governments, an inspira tion to all peoples, and a safe and ture support for right and justice. ' New Gems In Mars' Diadem. The long advertised drive of the Entente Allies, now in progrett, has turned the spotlight for the moment on two new figures. Sir William Robertson, chief of staff of the British army, who has succeeded to the duties laid down by Kitch ener, is not entirely unknown. His share in plan ning the present offensive move has been great, and Kitchener's fame will suffer none by reason of the credit that must go to his successor. The other great figure is General Sir Douglas Haig, actual commander of the British forcet in the field. i Thit It another illuminating example of the silent man' in military annalt. Haig wat very little known, outside the army, till he wat called upon to take up hit present work after Sir John French had demonstrated the necessity for a change in command. Hit fitness for the place it 1 . . . J N l t t L .L- I... ' now aamittca, tor ne nan mown inc capacity iot detail that it the true 'mark of geniut.

Selected for the mott difficult task of the war, he has gone about his business in orderly fashion, and it striving to make good on England's expectations, These new gems in Mars' ruddy crown are shining just now with vivid luster, and bid fair to win placet alongside those held by von Hinden- berg snd Joffre. v" At To Street Signs. Omaha It woefully deficient in furnishing in formation at to street namet and directioni heeded by ttrangert and the Commercial club it on the right track in urging the city authoritiet to proceed without delay In marking the ttreett. There it room for ditagreement, however, with the added specification that the name be "sten cilled either on the poles or on the curbing st street intersections." All our experiments with stencilled street signs hsve been either make shifts or dissstrous failures and we should do tomething more permanent, at least upon the main thoroughfare. If the street names sre to go on the curbing or sidewalks, the letters thould be of substantial material that will be legible for a reasonable time, for everyone knows sidewalk stencilling does not Isst more than s few days, and that painting on poles is not much better. Most tip-to-date cities have neat and attractive enamelled or glass street signs attached to their street lamps. Some cities have similar signs hung from the street railway trolley at the center of each street intertection, which if done in Omaha would cover the mott important thoroughfares, though by no meant all of them. Inability to find one's way around the city it about the only common complaint that comet from ttrangert vititing Omaha and the cause of thit complaint thould be removed when the rem edy Is so esty. 8tUl Wedded to Its Folly. ... That .remarkable literary document sent out from the St. Louit convention ss the platform of the democratic party is emphatically clear on some scattered points. One of these is the unqualified endorsement of the administration shipping bill, now pending before congress. That thit measure wat rejected a yeSr ago doet not lessen the de votion of the president and hit secretary of the treasury to its provisions, and they will make all efforts to secure Its passage. As st present pend ing the measure does not in any material way differ from the one that failed in the last congress. It provides for the appropriation of $50,000,000 to be invested in merchant vessels 'for the seagoing trade, these to be sold or leased to private owners, with the prevision that the government hat a prior claim upon their tervicet in event of war. Thit meant the invettment of public money in enterprite into which private capital hesitates tq venture. The absurdity of the whole thing cli maxes in the fact that it ia the teriout proposal of a party that hat alwayt pretended to thrlnk from subvention! of any kind, especially from the payment of subsidies or bonuses. It ii also part of the record of the democratic administration that it forced American thipt to pay tolls through the Panama canal, a concettion to the shipping interests of Europe. A further anachronism it that the measure will open American coastwise trade to foreign built vessels, thus compelling the direct competition of our merchant marine with the world in the only field of profit that hat been preserved to it by protective laws, . Objections to the Wilson-McAdoo shipping bill have often been stated, and do not lose any weight because of the inclusion of the measure in the St Louit platform. i 1 1 '.' This month of July will conclude two years of the great European war. Were there' any of us who were not cocksure at the outset that the war could not possibly be ended short of two yeart? : ..

The original "birth certificate," written by hand on parchment, now much worn and faded, is preserved carefully in an air-tight, and light-proof case in the library of the Department of State. Only facsimiles are exhibited today, the original being far too pre cious to risk in the light and air. The history of thit certificate it of consider able interest- In' the tecond continental con gress in Philadelphia Richard Henry Lee of Vir ginia on June 7, 1776 introduced the preliminary resolution, teconded by John Adamt. Consid eration was postponed and on June 11 Thomas Jefferson, John Adams Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and R. R. Livingston were ap pointed to prepare a preamble. Thit committee, known at the Jefferson committee, submitted a draft of the declaration on June 28. On July 2 the resolution itself was adopted by congress and the declaration was considered in committee, being again taken up the next day, July 3. On July 4 the declaration was agreed to by the committee of the whole, reported to congress and adopted. The independence of the United Colonies wat thut declared and thereupon congress ordered the declaration authenticated and printed and distributed to all state assemblies and to the commanding officers of the army. Accordingly the declaration was issued as a printed broadside on July 5, headed: "In con gress July 4, 1776. A declaration by the repre sentatives of the United States of America in general congress assembled." On July 19 congress resolved "that the decla ration, passed on the 4th be fairly engrossed on parchment, with the title and ttile (ttyle) of 'The unanimous declaration of the thirteen Unitedt States of America,' and that the same when, engrossed be signed by every member of congress." On August 2 the declaration, engrossed and compared, wat signed by the members; those not iresent on August 2 affixing their signatures at ater dates all but one before January 18, 1777. It hat been ascertained that of the fifty-six signers more, than one-fourth were not present on July 4, 1776, and seven Thornton, Williams, Rush, Clymer, Smith, Taylor and Ross were not members on that date. On the other hand, seven members on that date George Clinton, John Alsop, K. K. Livingston, Henry Wisner, Thomas Willing, Charlet Humpreyt and John Rogers had not the privilege of becoming "signers," for the membership ot all but one had ceased prior to August 2. -' The first official issue bearing the names of the tignert wat printed at a broadtide in Balti more under the resolution of January 18, 1777, ordering copies sent to each of the United States, and only four of these are now known to exist, one being in the library of congrest at Washing ton. . v Contrary to popular opinion, therefore, the declaration was not signed on July 4, the day it passed, but between August 2, 1776, and Jan uary 18, 1777, and then only by fifty-five mem ber!. The name of Thomas McKean, not in the printed copy, was added later possibly not un til ioi, maxing wc niiy-sixin signer.

To tha Editor of Tha Bee: There has recently been a certain amount of unfavorable criticism of tha Ne braska National Guard, a large part of which I believe fa unjustifiable. This criticism evi dently comes from uninformed persons or chronic fault-flndars. I was a member of tha Nebraska National Guard for four years, and, although I have not been a member since ltlS, 1 am still familiar with Its conditions, and I know personally many of the officers and mem When discussing the National Guard those Inclined to ba over critical should not forget that militiamen are not professional soldiers in any sense of tha word. Members of our militia are recruited from every occupa tion, and military duty la really only a side Una with them, undertaken, in almost every ease, because of patriotic motives. During fifty weeks of the year militiamen serve without pay, and the other two wecica are pent in camp under strict military regula tions. Each militiaman must give up one evening each week to drilling, several days extra each year for parades and special occa sions; sometimes two or three days a year for range practice with the high-power rifle, an occasional Sunday for the same purpose, and only when he is actually in camp or at maneuvers does he receive any t more sud stantlal benefit than the feeling that ha is doing his best for his country. True friends of tha National Guard arc well aware of its faults, but they can also see the extreme difficulties under which of ficer and men have worked in the past. Fortunately eonaress has just passed bill providing that in the future, officers and n shall receive a nominal payment lor services actually rendered. As I understand it, the bill, as passed, contains provisions which federalixe the Guard, making the or ganisation much more of a United States government institution than in the past. Tha time for criticising tha Guard will come after the new eystem has been thoroughly tried out. I know of many of my friends In the Guard, both here in Omaha and throughout the state, who have worked hard and made great personal sacrifices of time and money that tha organisation might be kept in as efficient a state aa possible, and I believe they have done as well, considering tha dif ficulties. s any non-professional soldier could have done.
