In former times this used to be done adopting Chinese devil-chasers, oth erwise yeclept fire-crackeis, and ex ploding them in as close juxtaposition to the fingers of the patriotic young as was possible. Nowadays, however, this system has been improved upon, and instead more dangerous explo sives are used, manufactured by Yan kee ingenuity out of the remnants from the smokeless powder factory products. And when noise of this sort is not desired, as in com iv unities where the "safe and sane" id oh holds forth, there is oratorical thunder and loud acclaim about the little boy who ran out of Independence Hai' and shouted: "Ring, grandfather, ring," when the Declarations of Independ enoe was signed. (Only searching his orians say that the little boy didn't run out on July 4th, and that the docu ment was signed on an altogether dif ferent date.) However, these are mere super ficial. The American people are great on superficia'3. They couldn't be happy unless they were disguising their true emotions with them. And so they make out of the Fourth either a chaotic din of noise, or a nice lady like affair with the Honorable Luk : McGluke and the little girls of the Hesperian Circle combining in a stun! that appears to be a hybrid between a circus ballyhoo match and a Sunday school picnic. So much for the ex terior but what of the hearts that thus hide their real emotions under these superficial 7 The American people are the most patriotic folk on earth.

Dillman & Howland tains and coast lands, and they walk with, the tread of Gods, hold up their heads in the pride of real freedom, and have a catchy sensation in their throats every time they see Old Glory drooping from a consulate flag pole. They fear neither German po lice nor French cabmen, and they are ready to fight to assert their superior ity if anyone so much as casts a ques tioning glance in their direction. And what is more, so sure are they of their direction. And what is more, so sure are they of their patriotism and their pride in country that they carry their pose through, and gain the respect of even the most tyrannical. Contemporary history tells of the modest American physician who went to Germany to study in the great hos pitals, and who one day was sitting in a bier-garten when a Garman offi cer swaggered in, tossed the Ameri can's hat from a peg on the wall, put his own, steel helmet thereon, and clanked into a seat at a nearby table. The American doctor waB a little man, but he knew he was an Ameri can. He got up, walked over to the German military man, poked him in the ribs, and said: "Go pick up my hat, you blankety-dash tin soldier, and hang it back where you found it." All of Germany's military glory and might looked out of the officer's eys at the American citizen standing there in his enraged dignity aud then the officer got up and picked uj,i the American's hat and apologized. Why did he do it? Because he knew he was in the wrong, for one reason; and also because he recognized in the American the presence of human lib erty, which is something the old world nations have found is best not to tamper with. That is the secret of American progress and triumph. It is tne inef fable spirit of human freedom, native to this soil, and absorbed by all peo ples who may come here. It was th' same spirit that led the early colon ists to rebel and throw off the yoke fof the old 'world, it was the same spirit that sent the pioneers west ward, it is the same spirit that makos us celebrate the Fourth of July as we do. It is a spirit that cannot be de fined or described it is the personal aura of every true American; a some thing that he keeps to .himself in the inmost recesses of his heart when he is at home, but which clothes Him in a noble armor when he goes abroad. It is a contrary, unique and sometimes perverse thing, like the love of a woman but also, like the love of a woman, it is the greatest thing in the world. And it is this thing that we all do honor to when we go out together to celebrate the Fourth. We may think we are honoring the birth of the nv tion, and perhaps we are, in a second ary sort of way. But in our inner souls we are honoring and paying fealty to the Spirit of America that abides in each of us, and that gives us our proud self-sufficiency, and our courage to meet any thing or any problem that, may come up. It wad this spirit in the concrete that made the American nation attempt to dig the Panama canal, when all others had failed, and it was this same power that has made the canal work a sue cess beyond even the wildest Ameri can hopes. It is this Spirit of Am erica, working as a leaven unseen in the nation, that brings about the ad vancement, the reform and the con tinual betterment of this country. It is this subtle power, wprking -n each of us, that drives us ever onward, to better deeds and to better lives, and which spurs our consciences in our moments of self-assay and meditation. And it is this that we do honor to, of ten unconsciously, on the Fourth Day of July, each and every year. TO BE SAFE AND SANE WASHINGTON, D. C, July 3.
