The people joined heartily with their . rulers In . the scheme of plundering the world. Ger many and Austria were to grow rich upon the loot of civilization and every peasant ached to be one of the looters. The "cohesive power of plunder" is an old phrase in the satire of our American politics. We have seen the cohesive power of plunder exemplified in the unity of the German people more fearfully than it ever was before on earth. In the beginning of the war our side was weak where the enemy was strong. We had more men, more money and the better cause. But we lost the advantage of them because our counsels were divided. What were our war aims? Nobody knew. Who was the supreme com mander? There was none. And to make confusion worse every free nation was perforated through and through with German propagapda. The' wonder is that the world did not succumb to the war lords in one year. . But it, has not succumbed yet and the prospect grows bright thai it never will. For, to save freedom and civilization from destruction, a HE men of coming ages will new leader has appeared.

On Indrnrndenre Flav Portland, July 3. To the Editor bf The Journal July Fourth, Independence day, should be recognised by every loyal American, especially during the present struggle. One hundred and forty-two years ago today we were fighting the British for our freedom, and today the British are our allies, fighting by our side to give the world freedom. This great European war Is causing much strife and discomfort both here and in Europe. But will our patriotism lessen by this? I should say not. It will make us more determined to stamp out the Hun and encourage others to be patriotic and teach them to never say die. This great Fourth of July will not only be celebrated in America, but also in Europe, where the allied armies are fighting the cause of liberty and jus tice.' America's finest sons are over there, staking their lives for their coun try, as their forefathers did 142 years ago. While these men are staking their lives, won't aU others stake their sav ings? The best way to celebrate the Fourth would be to buy War Savings Stamps, an investment that Is patriotic and at the same time profitable. The govern ment needs the money more than any citizen at the present time, and be&ldes. it is an Investment that is as good as gold, as the buyer gets his money back in five years with Interest, just like a savings account in a bank, only more interest and more security. Let us all celebrate this Fourth of July by buying War Savings Stamps, and then, on July 4, 1923, we can celebrate by getting our money back. George Washington was our great leader in 1776, and now we have Wood- row Wilson to lead us. Under his guld ance and with a general financial co operation, this war will soon see Its termination.

' fY7HEN in the course of human events it be 1 comes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected j them with another, and to assume among the . powers of the earth the separate and equal sta ; tion to which the laws of nature and of nature's , God entitle them, a decent respect to the opin i ions of mankind requires that they should de i clare the causes which impel them to the separa tion. We hold these truths to be self-evident : that all men are created equal ; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, gov ernments are instituted among men, deriving ' their just powers from the consent of the gov erned; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to insti tute new government, laying its foundation on : such principles and organizing its powers in such ; form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shpwn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, 1 while evils are sufferable, than to right them selves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the isame object, evinces a design to reduce them under ab solute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of govern ment. We, therefore, the representatives of the 'United States of America, in general congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and by authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the Bf itish crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain is and ought to be totally dissolved, and that as free and independ ent states they have full power to levy war, con clude peace, contract alliances, establish- com 1 merce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutu ally pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

J. De Smet. of the Society of Jesus, who cam from St. Louis In 1841 -to the Flathead a. or Kallspels. He made no attempt to change the nomadic customs of th Indians, and readily encouraged a be lief among them that the presence of the "Black Gown" gave them invulner ability from their dreaded enemies, th Blackfeet. Father De Hmet afterward went to Kurop and obtained reinforce ments consisting, bmldes priests, of a considerable nun-' f nuns, some of whom were deaf Vr th St. Paul mission, which h .-n recently es tablished on French ta-alrie. Th party arrived In August, 1144. in a Belgian brig, the Indefatigable, On reaching th bar of th Columbia, which had been greatly dreaded by all the voyagers, the vessel slipped In through a channel not hitherto known. Thus wa the south channel discovered. When the vaaaal dropped anchor well within Point Adam the anxious passengers gathered around the captain and asked when they would cross the bar. "We have already crossed it," he answered. 'We are now In th harbor." In his pious musings Father De Smet frequently referred to th In cident aa "the pilotage of argela" men were recently arrived drafted men. On of their number, a private., sang several solo and led the singing. The corporal who played th piano played wiui rare skui ana sympathy. After the meeting I hunted up th soloist and his accompanist. "My nam ig Fred Lock ley," I said. "Who are your". "Mr name is Aiisot Rudolphl." he answered, "and this is Corporal Angelo Rusai. my accompanist. We talked for a while and Rudolphl told me he had recently completed ja tour of South America, from which he had received 112.000.
