WHY ALL THIS NOISE
Tomorrow is the fourth of July and
not a boy or girl in Skagway but knows
it. More tbau that, there is not one
but that is willing to proclain the fact.
Oo the fourth of July in the year
1776, there was signed at Philadelphia,
by delegates from the several colonies
then strung in a thiu line along the At
lantic sea <oarU, a paper which served
as a contract between thetn under
which they were to stand by each oth
er in an effort to secure their inde
pendence of the mother country. The
ptper is cow recognized as one of the
great documents in the archives of the
world? a paper that represents more to
buman kind, perhaps, than any other
state document: more than any other
written paper save, perhaps, the story
of Jesus Christ. A realization
of the value of the event grows each
vear as the nation of Iree men, result
ing from the written compact, swells
in importance in the ?ff.tirs of men.
This | aper w.:i be re.id at bilks' hall
V'tnurro* morjing. And it is for us to
realize Us luj^aing that we may cele
brate :ne event as we should, with joy
ful enthusiasm.
It is on y 131 Yean* since that treat
day upon which <1 few men assembled
in Philadelphia and by simply wiit t; ir

lujomini able will with which the un
dertaklug was carried to its conclusion,
the succ??s :^iat was icsistcd upon de
spite lack of m.liury training, despite
poverty that entailed unspeakable suf
fering, despite repeated defeit and fail
ure and the discomtiii^u miscarriage of
plans, despite betrayal and intrigue
that attempted from the very inner
circle of the most trusted to betray the
leaders aud their undertaking into the
hands of their e^emy: the success that
was won in spitoof all this is written in
the Declaration of fr.doperdence. The
vision of 'he pr mis-n Ian?i is written
there? t! e :au of liberty that is on. s
to enjoy. The men who wrote the
document, the signing of which we
celebrate tomorrow, saw where led the

Tacoma has at last the long delayed
newspaper which Is to set that city, its
merits, resources and future, properly
before the world. It is a full grown
and businesslike publication from the
jump. The name is tho Tribune and
the editor-in-chief is R. F. Radebaugh,
founder of the Ledger now owned by
tiammy Perk in?. Tacoma has needed,
more lhau any other one thing for it/
more rapid growth ond development, a
newspaper to speak up for it. This it
now has and we may look for results.
R. F. Rsdebaugh, perhaps better than
any o'her man, knows the need of Ta
coma and how to fill it.
Beware of the Arc band brand to
morrow or to nieht. Let us have no

The storv of suffering that corns* up
to "us contii ually from the states, of
blizzard, flood and rcorchitig heat is one
to enlist our sympathies for them and
congratulations for ourselves that we
are so happily placed.
THE REASON
Ob, hark the pulse* of the night
The crickets hidden in the field,
That beat out music of delight
Till sumrno >ed dawn stands half re
vealed !
Ob, mark stove the bearded com,
And the greea wheat ?nd bending
rye,
Turned to the earth and calling dawn,
The stars vibrating in th* sky !
And know, divided *oul of me
Her* in the meadow, sweet of speech,
This perf-jct night could never be,
Were we not anted, each to each.

one dreaded disease that science ha* j
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure

Cure is taken internally, acting rtlrectiy
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of

foundation of the disease, ?nrt giving
the patient strength by building up, the
constitution and assisting na'.ure in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers that
ihi-y offer Ono Hundred Dollars for anv
case it fails to cure. -Send for list of

^Eczema in Raw Spot on Baby
*Bov's Face Lasted for Months?
Cried with Pain when Washed.
ECZEMA WAS CURED AND
HAS NEVER REAPPEARED
"Our baby boy broko out with
eczema on his face when ono montb
old. One place on the side of his face
the size of a nickel was raw like beef
steak for three months, nnd he would
cry out when I bathed the parts that
were sore and broken out. I gave him
three months' treatment from a good
doctor, but at the end of that time tho
child was no better. Then my doctor
recommended Cuticura. After using
a cake of Cuticura Soap, a third of u
box of Cuticura Ointment, and half a
bottle of Cuticura Resolvent ho was well
and his face was as smooth as any
baby's. He is now two years and a
half old and no eczema has reappeared.
I am still using the Cuticura Soap; I
think it is tho finest toilet soap I over
wed. I keep my little girl's hair and
face cleansed with it too. I am so
thankful for what Cuticura has dono
for us. Mrs. M. L. Harris. R. F. I). 1,
