FOURTH OF JULY IN EN3LAND. v ' As one of his predecessors assisted in es tablishing the day as one of peculiar significance, it is quite appropriate that the present king of r i i i f. , j 1.1 a. T7 u .ngiauu auouiu ciib18C iu tcicumnns uic ruuiui of July. It might do no great harm if the Eng lish were to adopt "the occasion in lieu Of Guy Fawkes dax.or some similar anniversary, ' the meaning of winch is purely local. No people has derived greater benefit through the independence of the United. States than have the British. This has been both direct and collateral. The War of Independence gave rise to a new birth of freedom In Great Britain, stimulating to activity the dem ocratic impulse that was being smothered under the toryism of the time. Certain restrictive in fluences of ultra-conservative origin, lingering from the then much-nearer time whenimportant Englishmen still clung- to the "divine right" theory, were broken down by the revolt of the colonies, snd liberty came toNts fall flower in both countries as a result No Britisher, clinging to the Magna Charta with absolute fidelity, can question Uie Declaration of Independence, even in its extremest statement of the rights'" of man. Therefore, nothing could be more completely harmoniour with tlfe democratic life of the em pire than that its people join with their Yankee cousins in observing July 4 as the birthday of liberty for all mankind. V 1 " Post-War Education. ' k An ' eastern editor says that great "fconors await the man who will be able o foresee the reforms to be accomplished in educational meth ods when peace comes again, and so prepare the way. to meet them.-But who has prescience to that degree? None dispute the proposition that great changes will take place in our educa tional methods,vust as all our social customs snd relations will undergo some modifications. It is not possible nor desirable that we will re-'l turn to the things we have left. Most of the debate aa4o the future of education turns on its relation to industry. Earnest and conscientious men favor 'such a systam as will train the youth of the land in productive methods, while others, equally sincere, argue with quite as much fervor and reason for the greater development of the cultural phasesof education. It is likjly that somewhere between the two the solution will be found, and that post-war education will show such s combined quality of usefulness and en lightenment as will produce results neither of the contending groups can now foresee. Also, it is reasonable to think that many years will elapse before stable and settled conditions of life are established, for the problems growing out of the upheaval are not to be adjusted off-hand. Out of the vast aggregate of speculation and experi mentation now put forward, good will come, but time alone can fix the values. Fundamentals, es tablished by human experience, will not be lost to sight, but their application to new conditions will engage man's best faculties to the end that progress be not checked. Improving Wheat Condition!. ! Perhaps the most gratifying news, that comes out of Washington these day! is that furnished by the Department of Agriculture in its monthly crop review. For three months s steadily in creasing improvement in conditions on the fari has been, noted, especially that of wheat I The hope of the world has been centered on this cereal as man's fortunes never before rested on t single substance. It is so vitally necessary to life, and civilized man has come to depend upon it so exclusively, that anything affecting it is of tremendous interest" N At present Secretary Houston's department forecasts a yield of 931, 000,000 bushels for the farms of the United States for the current year, with the expectation that favorable conditions may increase this esti mate, even to the hoped-for billion.. But with the present prospect maintained, the crop will provide amply for home use, on a pre-war basis, and leave more than 400,000,000 bushels for ex port or plenty to provide for the needs of our al lies and leave something to feed the hungry ,of the ncTfiral' nations. , Canada will also have a large surplus for exportation, and the improvement fiT the shipping situation may be such as will make the enormous quantity of grain now stored in Australia available. While Americans must con tinue to voluntarily restrict themselves in' the consumption of wheat, it is encouraging to know that any danger of losing the war for want of bread will soon be over. tt v':-.';:. Attorney General Reed has given an opinion that "organizing," save for distinct jvar purposes, is not s useful occupation within the meaning of the law. If this ruling be enforced, it will aid tp preserve peace and harmony" within the state. Views. Reviews and Interviews Sme Ancedotes of the Late Vice PmiHent Fairbanks ' v ' How He Was Misunderstood, ' y The late Charles W. Fairbanks waa much misunderstood man, being commonly supposed to De enmy, cusiani, sen-centerea-y a human iceberg, as it were when in fact no public man I know' of was ever more cental, easily accessible, courteous, warm' hearted and so ready to exert himself, even at the sacrifice of his own time and personal comfort, to help another. How he acquired the popular reputation of being cold and irresponsive I do not know, but it was cer tainly undeserved, though once under its spell it seems to have been impossible for mm to compicieiy snaxc u un. . . - '' tfowhere is a man's adaptability so tried as at the Gridironclub dinners, and yet the Gridiron folks never had a guest who fell in with the spirit of their entertainments more whole-souled. I have heard him several times, after taking the severe grilling in the most good-natured manner, respond most graciously and make the hit of the evening by his pleasantries and humor. After the famous cocktail incident," the vice president figured in one of the Gridiron skits in which the performers sang a song to the tune of "Budweiser," with the refrain running "The cocktail is s friend of mine," snd presented the guest of honor with a huge goblet of buttermilk with a bright yellow lemon float ing in it He accepted the buttermilk cocktail with n acknowledgment scintillating with wit and good-fellowship, just as everyone knew he would. , , - '" aMaaaaaamw r A close personal snd political friendship continueykfor many years between Mr. Fair banks sftd my father, dating back to the first McKinley campaign, if not earlier. They entertained s warm mutual admiration and respect for each other's opinions and fre quently conferred in person or by corre spondence bit subjects of public moment or party policy. ln the 1900 republican national convention St Philadelphia Senator Fair banks was chairman of the committee on resolutions. and my father secretary of the committee, snd the two together put on the finishing touches to the platform. They were associated together again in inaugu rating and carrying through the McKinley memorial erected at Canton as a testimonial of a grateful nation through contributions The Stte Council of Defense and 9ie Non partisan league sre equally agreed that one or the other should quit the state. Each has its preference, but lacks authority 'to compel the other. And there the matter rests. ' : Governor Neville may not have surprised any one, but hevperhaps'did end some suspense by announcing that he would accept the program arranged by the Mullen-Hitchcock combination message of sympathy full ot deep feeling.
