'fHi; DAY WE CELEBKATi:.
On the second day of July. 1776, the
Continental congress passed tbe resolu
tions which finally separated tbe Ameri
can colonies from the mother country.
Tbe declaration of independence was
announced two days thereafter. And
so it will 127 years, by Saturday of next
week, since patriotic old John Adams,
member of tbe Continental congress,
writing from Philadelphia to his wife
in Boston, used these memorable words:
"The second day of July, 1770. will be
the most memorable epoch in the his
tory of America. I am apt to believe
that it will be celebrated by successive
generations as the great anniversary
festival. It ought to be commemorated
ar tbe day of deliverance by solemn acts
of devotion to God Almighty. It ought
to be solemnized with pomp and parade,
with shows, games, sports, guns, bells,
bonfires and illuminations, from one
end of this continent to the other, from
this time forward, forevermore."
However it was the -Ith day of July,
the day-the day of tbe signing and
promulgation of the Declaration—that
has been adopted as the National Holi
day. and a review of the celebrations of
the "Glorious Fourth," since the
achievement of our independence from
Great Britain, would be one of the most
inter-ting and instructive contributions
to the world's history. For a long ti me
after independence was achieved the
annual rejoicings had all the fervency
and prophetic glow of hope that were
shown in tbe matchless and immortal
song of Miriam, after the children of
Israel, under Divine guidance and with
Divine help, crossed the Red Sea dry
shod, while Pharaoh s hosts were de
stroyed by tbe swift return of the part
ed waters to tbeir normal condition.
When, in the war of 1812, the young
Republic became victor, on land and
sea, over foreign soldiers and over the
ships of the first naval power in tbe
world, tbe feeling of American eouality
to all struggles and the demonstrated
strength of the United Stf.tes, changed
the situation and put into our Fourth of
Jnly oratory a different tone—more con
fidence, with more consciousness of n a
tional power and promise, and with a
sense of absolute security.
Although the Mexican war was begun
at the dictation of the Slave Power, and
was unholy and unjust, from the out
set, it was made a success by the anti
war, Whig generals, Scott and Taylor,
and by the splendid work of our army
and by the magnificent valor of our
volunteers. Webster and Clay, both
bitterly opposed to the war, lost their
sons in the conflict. Divine Providence
again came to our relief and brought
good out of evil. That w*»r trained, for
the salvation of the Union, Grant and
Thomas and Logan and Baker and
Negley, and scores of other able and
true commanders of the Union forces.
It gave California to the Union, and
that result of the war turned the bal
ance against the secession conspiracy.
On this day we should all remember
the words of the great Declaration, and
also those of Abraham Lincoln, who
fulfilled and perfected the work of
Washington and the prophecies of Jef
ferson and who said on the Gettysburg
battlefield, while the war against scces
sion was still continuing?
"Fourscore and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this con
tinent a new nation,conceived in liberty
and dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal. Now we are
engaged in a great civil war, testing
whether that nation, or any nation so
conceived and so dedicated, can long
endure."
On this day, we are all brethren of
one family—fellow countrymen of
Washington and Lfncolo.
lint the Fourth of Jnly spirit has rela
tion not only to the past and to tbe
present, but to tbe future also.
It we would continue to celebrate this
anniversary day we must keep alive the
apirit of 1770.
Wealth and luxury are apt to demor
alize nations as they demoralize men.
A successful government of the people
implies a virtuous and intelligent
people. A virtuous and intelligent
people imples virtuous arid intelligent
individuals. It pertains then t-> every
American to see to it that he faithfully
and conscientiously performs the duties
of citizenship. In the midst of our
glorying we must not loss sight of the
fact that grave social and political prob
lems lie in our own pathway. Their
proper solution will tax the highest
statesmanship, tbe deepest philosophy,
the most intelligent thought. Every
loyal citizen shonld feel that with him
rests the responsibility for their solution
and should act accordingly. J> tus
then, proud of the past, thankful for the
present, light anew from the altars of
patriotism, the torch that shall light us
in the future along the pathway that
leida to the sturdy virtues and the cor
rect principles that has made us great
and shall make us yet greater.

imagination.
What we call "imagination,"' the
power of the brain to make pictures, to
form images, is the only thins that
makes man superior to the brute.
There be so mnch meanness
an-1 selfishness in this world if people
generally were possessed of more im
agination. If they conld picture t«>
themselves the miseries and woes and
heartaches of the world, they wonld
not be eo much absorbed in their own
troubles. They would realize the titter
futility of their petty wrath or score,
and would spare it. They could not bs
miserly, for they would appear to them
selves contemptible.
"The a oul without imagination
said Beecber, 'is like an observatory
without a telescope.
The faculty of imagination is the
great spring of human activity and
human improvement. Without it we
would remain always in the same rut.
and would never seek to excel the achiev
ments of former generations. It is
the soul of charity, the creator of poet
ry and art and the life s blood of relig
ion. It gives all there is of joy to life
and irraditates the gloom of death.

Valley Forge.
June 1», 10<fe, marked tbeone hundred
and twenty-fifth anniversarv of tbe
evacuation of Valley Forge by George
Washington and his army of patriots,
and the day was celebrated in a way be
fitting the significance of the spot and
the occasion. It was at alley Forge
that the devoted band of Americans
passed six months of terrible suffering
in the hard winter of 1777-7*, and it was
at Valley Forge, although no battle was
fough*, that tbe colonials demonstrated
by their endurance in the face of bun
ger and disease their ability to main
tain the war for independence. June i».
l"H, the British evacuated Philadel
pbia and retreated to New \ork. and
tbe following day saw General Wash
ington abandon the now memorable
headquarters and start on the campaign
that was to end only with the liberation
of the American people from British
thrall. Small wonder, then, that for
this century and a quarter anniversary
a program bad been prepared which in
sured one 'A the most patriotic celebra
tiohs in the history of the country.
At least 200,000 people attended tbe
exercises, and this fact alone was suffi
cient to make the demonstration more
noteworthy than any of its predecessors
at the historic ground. The celebra
tion lasted throughout the day, begin
ning in the morning with a grand mil
itary review and an address by President
Roosevelt. After luncheon speech
making was tbe principal feature. Sen
a tor Henry Cabot Lodge delivering the
oration of the day on the encampment
at Valley Forge. Other prominent men
of affairs also made addresss. Among
representative bodies participating in
tbe function was a large force of Un
ited States troops, militia from many
States of the Union, Pennsylvania Nat
ional Guardsmen and delegations of
patriotic societies from oyer the conn
try- , , ,
Tbe arrangements were in the hands
of tbe Valley Forge Anniversary Asso
(nation, ably seconded by the Daughter.*
of the America* Revolution.
Undoubtedly the great majority of
those who make the journey to \ alley-
Forge, even today but a quaint little
Pennsylvania village some miles
from Philadelphia, passed at least part
of their time in rambling over tbe fields
and hills on which tbe encampment
was located and in visiting the interest
ing landmarks that have been preserved
since the revolution. Chief among
these is, of course the Potts farmhouse
which Washington made his headquar
tern. Thanks to the patriotism of
Pennsylvanians. it Istands to day in al
most the same condition as during
those weary months when the first
President paced up and down its narrow
confines and gazed anxiously through
the old fashioned windows at the huts
wberein so many of his soldiers were
slowly wasting to death.
Little has been changed, even the
locks and bolts of the doors being the
locks and bolts that guarded the priva
cy of the great warrior statesman.
Floors, windows, ami sashes are those
which Wahington knew. In one room
is a window seat with a cavity that he
hollowed out in order to conceal his
papers. It vras covered with a cushion
and no one would guess that his most
valuable documents were bidden then.
Back of the house stands a long cabin
which Washington built to serve an a
dining room, and in this cabin is a well
known as "Wa.-.hinjj.tonV. well,' which
yields clear cold, water. Of especial
interest to women visitors are the pri
vate apartments of Martha Washington
which have been fitted np by the
Daughters of the American Revolution
on the same plan as the sb- ping roo;n
she occupied at Mount Vernon.
Anniversary pilgrims also found tlie
headquarters of several of Washington's
generals standing ir> mnch tin- f itii'-
order as in 1777 7H Like tbeir leader
the generals established themselves in
farmhouses,some of which are far from
the l<eaten track of the average vinitor
to Valley Forge, but all of which, from
the memories they hold, are well worth
se eking out. Tbe old forge itself, from
which the place derived its name, was
burned down a few years ago, but the
visitor- has no difficulty in learning
where it was located
The farmhouses which have won tin
dying fame from their associations with
the encampment are scattered over a
territory several mile* in extent. The
farmhouses occupied by the famous
Pennsylvania general, Peter Muhlenberg,
better known to to the inhabitants of
the section by the name of "Moore's
place," and s : iniliarly the headquarters
of General Lafayette, are more ea - ily
located if one ask' to be directed to t'ie
Mrs. Wilson farm.
Not far from the site of the not I
Star redoubt on tie- Port Kennedy or
River road stands the house occupied
by General Varnnm. whose Rhode I ■
land troops were encamped on the north
side of the road, east of the K!ar re
doubt. About !. of a mile from Wash
ington redoubt is the old place that w:u
iir<-d as the headquarters of General
Knox. Another interesting -pot i» to
be found on the north s!d<- of the rmd
leading from Centerville to Valley
Forge where the Hons of the Revolution
have erected a marker to guide tourists
to the headquarters of General Wayne,
still standing with its mysterious "He
sian" closet-i and like secret receptacles.
The visitor finds much to impress
him In the remains of the earthworks
by which the famous encampment was
surrounded. A* they stand today they
th<-y are from si.* to feet binh and
several mites in length, while the ;iit>-H
of lb' old forts, Washington and Hunt
ingdon. are : -»till plainly marked.

All the other applicants were ' Refus
ed.
The twenty odd applicants to whom
licenses were granted were called into
Court. Tuesday morning, and Judge
Galbreath read a paper stating why he
granted license, etc.
After quoting opinions of Justices
Agnew and Paxson. and some of the
law. he said that the granting of li
censes was a legal anil not a moral one;
it was compulsory: he limited the nuni
ber because violations would be easier
to locate: licensees were not to sell to
men of known intemperate habits or
men visibly intoxicated, should not sell
by the bottle, or keep tippling houses:
doubts if any landlord could rnn a bar
for one hour and not violate the law.the
law was that strict; should prevent loaf
ing about their hotels; that bars should
not be kept open longer than the dining
room—did not mean by this that the
time of keeping the dining room open
ed should be extended. Wholesalers
principal business was to supply retail
ers: shonld close at same time as other
business places; should have no agents
to take orders, etc.: these remarks not
meant as a threat, but as kindly warn
ing, and if not lived up to he would im
pose the penalty.
The (ir<>at Lakes Coal Co.
The Great Lakes Coal Co., of which
Ernrnet Queen, of Pittsbnrg, is presi
dent, has about 26,000 acres of coal in
Armstrong county, lying in Sugar
Creek, Washington, Brady n Bend,
Perry and West Franklin townships.
This tract will be reached by a branch
of the Bessemer railroad, which is be
ing built from Euclid. Butlsr county,
and comes down Sugar creek into Bra
dys Bend township About '52,000 men
have been employed on this road and its
construction is going on rapidly There
are several mines opened up on this
property, and the Great Lakes Coal Co.
when it gets into full operation expects
to mine 10,000 tons of coal per day.
Even with this large daily output it ss
estimated that the company on its Arm
strong lands alone, has coal enough to
last 150 years It is stated Ili:if it Las
expended £OOO,OOO in the purchase of
coal, purchasing in some instances the
land outright, and it has options on
other lands. It is expected that E. W.
Dewey who bought the IJrtdys Bend iron
works property will build to this Be>-e
trier branch.
In South Bnffalo township the Alle
gheny Valley improvement compiuy
has bought irtW acres in and around tbe
village of Clinton, and report has it
that it is to be the site for a new and im
portant town, the location being claim
ed to h<; one of the finest on the Allu
gheriy river between Oil City and Pitts
burg. The C. 41. Clark Coal and Coke
Co i» buying coal in South Buffalo town
ship, and also extending its purchases
over the line into Butler county imme
diately adjoining its land in Arm
strong,
Tbe construction of the B. R. ic P.
railroad through Armstrong county
famished an important outlet to its
coal lands and an important factor in its
other industries as well. The cutoff of the
Pennsylvania lines from Enon, in Law
rence county through Butler county to
Red bank, will cross the northern part
of Armstrong and give it another vsjti
able connection. All these, with its oi ig
inal railroad up the valley, the Low
Grade, the other lines in construction or
contemplation, and which have been
mentioned above, will no doubt greatly
enhance the prosperity of the county
and aid in tbe rapid development of its
great natural resources. Henry Had
