Ragtime In Sunday Schools.
The members of the Music Super
visors' National Conference, not only
made a dead set on our national hymn
but they aimed on our national music
of our Sunday schools. ' Miss Eleanor
Smith of Chicago made an onslaught
on the pieces now, and for a long
time, in vogue. "Bringing in the
Sheaves," "Will There Be Any Stars
in My Crown?" "I Want to Be An An
gel," "Hold the Fort" and other favor
its in Sunday-school singing she de
nounced as ragtime music.
Well what of it Why should not
. ragtime he made to serve the ends of
righteousness? Is the devil to be giv
en a monopoly of all the good things
ia these days of antitrust wars? That
preacher who said, at a time when
the contributions of John D. Rocke
feller were under thti suspicion of be
ing "tainted money" and unfit for ho
ly work, and if the devil was provid
ing the money he was willing to take
enough of it to bankrupt him, had the
real philosophy of the case. If the
devil has been using ragtime to in
fringe his copyrights.
Statistics show a much larger at
tendance at Sunday schools in these
days than formerly. Less than fifty
Thinking Is Like Building
With Blocks
By DONALD M. CARTER, Lawyer, of Chicago
"HEN you think, you are
he builds a tower of blocks.
The difference between thinking and playing with
building, blocks is that in building YOU CAN SEE
THE MISTAKES YOU MAKE. When you think you can't see
the discrepancies creeping in. The result is INCORRECT THINK
ING, and this world is full of that brand.
THE MIND BUILDS ITS STRUCTURE WITH THE FACTS IT HAS
AT HAND, AND IF IT DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT FACTS THE
STRUCTURE WILL BE INCOMPLETE AND THE MIND OF THE
BUILDER CANNOT SEE ITS INCOMPLETENESS.
History is full of incidents to prove my point. You can pick in
stances from today. Take the Titanic wreck They made three mis
takes. Those three made the disaster inevitable. Any one of them
corrected would have saved those hundreds of unfortunates. They
went by the northern route, they went too fast, and they didn't have
enough lifeboats. INSUFFICIENCY OF BLOCKS : THE STRUG.
TURE WAS IMPERFECT; THE DISASTER FOLLOWED.

years ago every Sunday brought out
a dismal song telling how "As Rob
ert Raikes walked out one day to see
if children were at play, two boys
were seen on Sabbath day, playing,
playing, ah me!" It can go without
saying that such puerile words as
these were set a strain of long meter,
dragging itself out in a wearisome
length to break the heart of any boy
worthy of the name. And thiij wretch
ed perversion of the right spirit of
Sunday-school work, pitched the stan
dard of the Sunday-school music of
that day. Ragtime music and such
songs as "Hold the Fort" and "Bring
ing in the Sheaves," breathing some
thing of the spirit of a church mil
itant, and telling something of faring
forth and daring to do in righteous
causes, mean something in the life of
a live boy. Of course, they are not
the last word. It is possible to get
better . Sunday-school music than we
now have. The members of the Mus
ic Superivsors' National Conference
can try their hands at the work. They
may find something better than rag
time. But we warn them that - the
world will never return to the dolor
ous strains telling of Robert Raikes'
discovery-of two boys at play, ah me!
ADOPTING THE DECLARATION.
How the Immortal Document Was Put
Through Continental Congress.
ALTHOUGH the Fourth is the day
that is celebrated by many as
that on which the immortal
Declaration of Independence was sign
ed, sealed and promulgated, as a mat
ter of fact such is not true. The
great document was read to the people
on the Fourth after having been ap
proved by congress, but it was not
signed on that day.
On July 2 Jefferson presented for
adoption the immortal Declaration aft
er congress had adopted a resolution
presented by Richard Henry Lee of
Virginia, which had been placed before
the body on June 7. 1776:
Resolved, That these united colonies are
and of a right ought to be free and inde
pendent states; that they are absolved
from all allegiance to the British crown
and that all political connection between
them and the state of Great Britain is and
ought to be totally dissolved
This resolution was debated for near
ly a month, and, owing to the absence
of Lee, who had been called home, the
defense of it fell on his colleague. Jef
ferson. It needed defense, for in that
congress were able men who opposed
its passage and revolution. Great
therefore, is America's debt to Jeffer
son and Lee. On July 2 Lee's resolu
tion was adopted, and Jefferson's draft
of the Declaration was adopted on
July 4. 1776
John Hancock, president of congress,
and Charles Thompson, Its secretary.
Immediately signed the document and.
became thus the first official traitors
from an English point of view. It was
made public to the citizens by John
Nixon, who read it to the citizens of
Philadelphia in Independence square.
On July 15 It was ordered to be en
grossed, and on this being done the sign
ers appended their names on Aug. 2.
Meanwhile there had been some
changes in the personnel of congress.
John Dickinson. Edward Biddle. Thom
as Willing and Charles Humphreys of
Pennsylvania fought the Declaration,
and the commonwealth sent Benjamin
Franklin, Robert Morris, George Ross
and James Wilson to congress in their
places to sign the great paper.
If it happened it is in the Enter
prise. doing just what a child does, when

MEKICA
A Fourth of July Poem by
JAMES A. EDGERTON
yHEN tint young America gave to the world . '
Man't charter of rights in her bold Declaration.
When first to the tun and the breeze was unfurled
Her flag of the morn that proclaimed her a nation.
No foothold had freedom in all of the earth.
No home had democracy outside aprison.
And every republic that since has had birth
Is child of hers, through her example has risen
rill all of the continents now have divined
The light of the new day that breaks for mankind.
piRST France caught the gle&.m. she whose soldiers had
fought
At brothers with oursi with the blood and the treasure
She gave unto us her own freedom she bought.
Repaid thus in liberty's bounteous me&sure.
Then glistened the light upon .Switzerland's crags.
Next all the Americans glowed into morning
And, under the eagle's wing, blossomed with flags.
A wreath of republics the New World adorning.
Brazil followed soon, and then over the sea
Our guns thundered chorus and Cuba was free.
'PHE growing republican phalanx moves on.
Proud Portugal yejterda.y swelling the number. -Today
o'er the orient blushes the dawn
And China awakes from her ages of slumber.
Tomorrow wh&.t new land will turn to the light?
Already the rule of the people grows stronger
Throughout all the earth, a-nd the d&y is in sight
When kings and their minions shall govern no longer!
- Already the era. of promise is nigh
When each land shall boast its own Fourth of July

v Real Rubies.
"Most people are of the Impression
that the diamond is more valuable
than any other jewel stone, but weight
for" weight the oriental - ruby costs
many times what the finest diamond
of the Klmberley field will bring," said
a dealer, who has lately returned from
a trip to the East Indies. "For In
stance, a fine 11 carat ruby sold in
London a few years ago for $35,000.
An 11 carat diamond in the' market
would not bring anything like this
sum. The smaller sized diamonds and
pigeon blood rubies are not so wide
apart in price, but real rubies are
steadily in the lead in all gem mar
kets." Chicago News.

CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT
TO BE AT BIG LOSS
EAST LAS VEGAS, N. M., July 3.
With the decreasing Drobabiltv of- a
Crowd sufficient to meet Jack John
son s demands and cover expenses,
matters are looking dubious for
Tnursday's fight
Train after train has c.nme, in with-
out expected crowds and the hopes of
Jack Curley have fallen accordingly.
That there will not be enough in the
house to meet general expenses, aside
from the purse guaranteed Johnson,
seems a foregone conclusion. A meet
ing will be held late this afternoon
to tam over the situation.
This morning there was less than
$30,000 in the treasurer's hands and
as the promotion cost is almost that
much and as Las Vegas merchants
failed to "come through", with their
promise to buy tickets they agreed to
before the match was signed up, it
looks very much like "stung."
Unless "the fans arrive Thursdav
morning it will mean the loss of
thousands of dollars to him.
The arrivals yesterday were decid
edly lean. Hundreds steDed off trains
going from east to west but fully 99
per cent reboarded the cars after eat
ing. - "
Johnson, Flynn and Curley were
scheduled to hold a joint conference
with Referee Smith last night at Cur
ley's headauarters. Flvnn was nn
time, but after waiting 35 minutes for
jonnson, leit in anger, venting his
wrath upon- Manager Flanagan.
"Tell your man," he said, "that I
was here on time and that I will meet
him here tomorrow night, if he isn't
afraid - to show up."
The Pueblan showed surprising gin
ger last night and very little anxiety
and worry.
"You know what I said a couple of
days ago," he said. "I am ready, and
if Johnson beats me it . will be when
I am coming in. I'll never stop until
one of us falls.".
