As it is, the centenary will not pass unnoticed in the country. In Missouri, whence the Pathfinder started out, recognition is being given the occasion. And Washington plans some sort of fitting memorial. The Fremont expedition of 1843 prepared the way for) the:winning of the west. Fremont’s report of the journey, with its description of the territory crossed, was avidly devoured . by people back in the States. It changed the popular conception of the Western wilderness. It fired in men the desire to set forth toward the setting sun. It started people to thinking about the migrations that were to reach full flood after the discovery of gold. In later expeditions Fremont paved the way for California’s acquisition by the Union. Places innumerable have historic associations with him and his men. He was at Sonoma, Sutter's Fort, Los Angeles, Monterey and on Gabilan Peak. A marker on the Calaveras River north of Waterloo calls attention to one of his camping places in San Joaquin County. In later years when the Pathfinder and his wife, Jessie Benton Fremont, lived at their Mariposa grant, their ‘carriage rolling down from the hills enroute to San Francisco was a familiar sight in Stockton. Fremont, one of California’s first United States senators, received his crowning honor in . 856 when given the nomination for president on the new Republican Party’s ticket. But that high honor was almost to prove his undoing. In the bitter campaign that followed. his name and reputation were dragged through the mud. His feats were belittled, his motives were impunged and his patriotism was attacked. Losing the election to Buchanan was not all. Fremont was under a cloud for a generation. — Even today historians differ widely in their estimates of Fremont the man. But after the lapse of time there is little reason to belittle his important role in California and_ the West—Stockton Record. BASTILE DAY A prostrate and humiliated France this week greets the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille and the release of the prisoners of state. dawn of the French revolution and France's great national holiday. Soil of the homeland lies under the heel of the ruthless Nazi tyrant, its so-called leaders bending the knee to the gauleiter of the moment, its unhappy people herded into German armament plants to forge chains for themselves and death for their friends. On the soil of its colony, Algeria, the factions of General Giraud and General De Gaulle’ wrangle nnd snipe at each other in a duel for power that tries the patience of the British and American liberators. Truly, the picture of France on its anniversary day is not a happy one. But it will not ever be thus. There is a latent spirit in the French, the spirit of Bastille Dy itself, that cries out for freedom. Given half an opportunity; Frenchmen will assert themselves. They did so in Martinique. They will do so in France, when the time arrives. On Bastille Day, we may sympathize with France, and pray for the day of her complete liberation. BUSINESS MAN COASTGUARD.
