PUBLISHING CO. ,rMlc, . ... sf ' - OUR NATAL DAT. " One hundred and twenty-seven years ago tomorrow the thirteen American Colonies declared themselves free from " altefflance to any foreign ruler and to be an independent and united nation. That declaration has oeen nobly main tained ever since. From the straggling settlements of 177S the nation has grown by development, assimilation, purchase, conquest and other means of expansion, territorial and otherwise, to he tte greatest nation of the world. The citizens of such a country have a Just right to be proud of the results which they have helped to attain, and f their citizenship in such a land. Inseparably connected with the ar rival of this anniversary of the nation's Wrth ir the 'idea." of celebrating the vent- From long ' association this leans firecrackers, bombs cannon.flags reading the declaration, speeches, a tfosen kinds of races and games, two mt three varieties of drunks, an as sortment of accidents and other Ir relevant or disagreeable features. All this In the name of freedom to culti vate patriotism, and to commemorate the subllmest event of our history. It is gratifying to note that there Is a ten dency toward reform In this respect. Propfe are realizing that the folly of such so-called celebrations has been carried far enough. Ere many" years in stead of the rowdy act we will be em ploying more genteel methods of ex pressing our patriotism and love of own try. and more effective means of fanning the patriotic flame, if it needs fanning. The idea that those of our people who have not lived for generations In this country need especial instruction in this line, is rather contradicted by the fcicl Out at our Fourth of July celebra tions die citizens of foreign birtfbr com pose the larger part of the crowd arunnd ihe speaker, while the blue Wooded more than likely are herding together in private picnics somewhere in the woods or at the beach. Such an occurrence has often been remarked In Astoria. THE PASSING OF SILVER. "Of the forty-one foreign govern ments of whose coins tSie Secretary of the United States treasury took notice In his nrovclamation of October 1, 1X96, fixing their value In American money, fifteen were legally upon the gold standard, eleven were still experi menting with bimetalism, and fifteen were on the sliver standard," says the j Chicago Inter-Ocean. . "Of the forty-one foreign govern ments enumerated in the similar proc lamation issued on October 1, 1902, not ane was still attempting to make both rilver and gold standards of value. Several that in 1896 were only nomi nally on the gold standard such as Chill and Japan had actually made ill I their money equal to gold. Of the fifteen avowedly on the silver basis In 1896, only Bolivia, China, Columbia, Kcuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nica ragua, Salvador and Mexico still re ciiiimd won it. "Of the twenty-six governments which In Ki6 were giving more or lews ountance to blmetalic and silver rtauUard theories, there remained on the silver list at the end of 1892 only seven small or backward Latin-American states and Mexico and China, which really had no standard at all. It Is not surprising that Mexico Is weary of such company and Is seeking to get away from She- commercial and Industrial handicaps that the silver standard Imposes. "As races and empires riBe and fall, so do metals. At one time, there If reason to believe, silver was as 'pre cious a metal as gold. Its manner M occurrence an the work of winning it offered greater difficulties to prlml live metallurgy. Its name Is still the synonym for 'money' in several great languages. Put the advancement of solence made It too common to serve as a standard of value. "In the arts, for household utensils, ami as material for small divisions of the currency. It will doubtless con tinae to be isbM.

THE SOUTHERN VIEW. . An old Florida colonel recently met Hooker T. Washington, and In a blbu tous burst of confidence said to the ne gro educator: "Sun. Iam erlad to meet you. Alwayi wanted to shake your hand, suh, think, suh, your the greatest man In America.'" "Oh. no," said Mr. Washington; -You are, suh." said the colonel, and then, pugnaciously: "Whos greaterr Well," said the founder of Tuskegee, There's President Roosevelt. "No, suh." roared the colonel 'Not bs a lug full; I used to think so. but since he Invited you to dinner think he's a blank scoundrel.' ONE OF THE GIANTS. ' According to Everybody's Magaiine for July, the year s consumption or to bacco In the United States includes seven billions of cigars, ten billions of cigarettes, and two hundred and eighty millions of pounds of manufactured to bacco. The one Item of smoking and chewing tobacco, exclusive of cigars. cigarettes and snuff, registers an an nnal over-all value of more than KOO.OOO.OO0. In addition, England .mokes six billions. Japan three bit Hons and China one and one-half bit' Hons of cigarettes every twelvemonth This outside cigarette-puffing bums up forty-five millions of pounds of tobac co and puts about $4,000,000 into the bank account of the American grower. giving the giant balance to the trust, One of the magnates of this wonder fully puffed up power Is James Buchan an Duke, president of the Consolidated, the Continental and the American to bacco companies. His modest salary is $100,090 a year, and of it Mr. Duke says Tm not paid those $100,000 tor what I do, but for what I don't do. I'm paid for the mistakes I fall to make. In this age of big things the tobacco habit is evidently not the least. Mr. Duke may be infallible when it comes to selling tobacco, buV the expenditure of such enormous sums of good money in the generally useless gratification of an unnatural appetite would seem to In dicate the fallibility of several mil lion of the common people.
