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.

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.

Attorney General Reed has given an opinion
that "organizing," save for distinct jvar purposes,

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

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

with n acknowledgment scintillating with
wit and good-fellowship, just as everyone
knew he would. , ,

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. '
