The abuse of the Fourth

1A0 bS
That the Fourth of July should be
celebrated with gunpowder, and all
manner of vehicles for burning or ex-
ploding it, is but natural. The Fourth
is a military reminder that the
colonies fought their way to freedom.
But in the celebration of the day the
line should be drawn at blank cart
ridges. ~
Unfortunately this idea cannot
be enforced. There is no telling
when or where some murderous
idiot will whip out a revolver loaded
with bali cartridge and fire it pro-
miscuously all around the compass.
1t is impossible to suppress these
idiots because there Is no way of get
ting at them. Even when n OF
them has killed or fatally wounded
some one, as in the S of Mr..
John Wallace. who was shot
while sitting at the window of his
home on Seaman avenue last mig hit,
it is impossible to find the mis-
creant. It is doubtful if the
man who shot Mr.. Wallace
has any idea that he is responsible.
He may have been drunk, in which
case he may not even know that he
fired a pistol. But should he have
beensober and known that he used the
weapon anywhere in the vicinity OF
Mr.. Wallace's residence, he can hardly
fail to have a suspicion that he is the
guilty person, particularly if the pis-
toll he used carried a thirty-two calibre
bullet. In that case his conscience
may punish him, though not very
severely. The man who recklessly
discharges ball cartridges where they
are likely to hit someone than
not, is not the sort of a person to be
worried by the thing called con-
science.
The accident" by which DIR. Pol
lard was wounded while riding in a
horse a on Sunday night is another
case in point, though fortunately not
attended by fatal consequences. The
man who fired that shot cannot well
be ignorant of it's effect. for he must
have been near enough to the car to
see the commotion that followed.
OF course these miscre ants should
be suppressed, but how is the law to
get at them? The multitude o
shooters who make noise in Harmless!
ways renders it impossible todetect tbs
few idiots who use ball cartridges
even after they have worked all the
harm of which they are capable.
This much limit should be put or
patriotic expression:-The line should
be drawn at deadly weapons. L
should be made as serious an offen MS
to fire them or carry them on tn
Fourth as any other day.

an article which appear in the July num-
Der or The Forum. bearing upon the ques-
ton as TO the relative wages received by
men and women for the same work.
Are women paid rs we'll rs men for the
same work? Colonel Wright maintains
that ia a great majority of cases they are,
but That confusion has arisen because 1t
oftener happens that is generally sup
posed that the work which women do is
not the same as the work which men do.
AS women, fer instance, have forced
their way into such employDents as book
Keeping and lighter clerical work. the
anne grade OF men that formerly did this
work have sought higher and more r.
munerative occuuaticns. The proper
comparison TO make is not so between
what women receive a what men re-
ceive, hut what the wage-earning women
now zee i've and what they received be-
fore the great advance OF women into in
dustrial life.
There are reasons however, why wo-
men are not in every case paid as we'll as
men, u they are lalgs economic reasons
which deserve consideration. Among
them are these:-There is undoubtedly a
cheaper standatd of living among wom-
en- than am ing men: women a: a class
have less good equipment for life work
h men, because the expectation in
many cases Is that tue work will. he iu-
~terrupted by matrimOny, and most OF all,
women have come into the Industrial
field as a new economic factor, and in
dustry has not yet adjusted itself to her.
We have Colonel Wright's authority.
therefore. for believing that the pay of
women for doing The same work is not so
disgracefully less than the pay Of meu as
it has been commonly supposed, but the
appreciation of women in industry will
become generous aud more general as
they become a more stable and more gen
/ eral factor in labor.

Early Rising,


Thousands of people have no choice
wha1ever about their hour of rising in the
morning. Later or earlier, that hour Is
liked for them by the requirements of the
office, the shop or the CtaSs-roOm: nv the
timetable of the railroad: by the ar5itra-
tion OF their employers or the necessitie
of their employees. But in the cases mani
70 d where personal liberty is enjoyed, it
should not be thoughties5ly restricted
simaly because of the domestic tradition
that early rising deserves praise and la e
rising blame. Breakfast may often be
n movable feast without materially dis
tubing the routine of an orderly house
keeping day. Invalids, mothers whose
rest has been broken by teething babies.
and, above all, rapidly growing children,
should have their sleep out. Nature de-
mands this, and violence Is done to her
when sleepy people are rudelv aroused
from their beds. Early to bed is the stu
gle safe prescription to insure early to
rise.
We need to repeat 1t over and over to
our hurrying. anxious, toiling American
men and women: Rest, rest. and again,
rest. Do not think tine i'll spant thai is
spent in repairing the rdvages of ouf we'll
Digh incessant activity. -HGTDer'S BdzGr.

At Cumberland she'll ROVE,

While I'm in despair with my woes,
She sits with dude, in swell bathing

And digs in the sand with her toes.

0uitman County's Registration Law De-
clared Unconstitutional.
The people of Quitman county are
having a squabble over their registration
law, and Saturday Hon. VIM. Harrison
was here to argue petition before
Judge Query to declare the lawuncon-
stitutional.
DIR. A. M. Raines, candidate for the
legislature in that county, appeared with
his attorney, Col. Lee, on the opposite
side of the question
After hearing the arguments Judge
Query decided the law unconstitutional
because it does not permit young men
reaching their majority after the close of
the registration books to register or vote,
and also because no provision is made
for the registration of citizens moving
into the county after the books are closed.
Politics seem to be at the bottom of
the matter, as DR.. Raines is a candidate
for the legislature and wants the law
to remain in full force, while it is to the
interest of his opponents to have the law
declared of no effect by the courts.

for Twelve Months--Kept Secret
Through Fear.
Last weeks News merely mentioned
the fact that Barlow Davis, young
white man, was then in jail for commit
ting a heinous crime upon the person of
his sisterin-law, child thilteen years
of age.
Thursday Davis had a preliminary
hearing before Justices Statham and
Simmons, and the story revealed on the
witness. stand was horrible in ali its de-
tails--a story of the depravity Of man and
the ruin of a twelve-year-old girl.
The story, as brought out, was that
DAVIS had been criminally intimate with
the little girl for a year past, and that
through fear the child had kept the facts
from her parents. The first step astray
was while the child was at Davis home
visiting her sister, where her parents
supposed she would be safe under the
care and protection of her brother-in-
law.
The defense introduced no test oay.
Davis made short statement il whion
he simply said that he was not RESPONSE
BILE for the child's misfortune.
The court remanded the prisoner to
jail on the charge of rape, without bail.
Davis attorneys sued out writ Of ha-
beas corpus, which was heard before
Judge Query Monday morning. All
the evidence was gone through with
again and Davis was allowed bail in the
sum $4,000, Tut failing to give it he was
returned to Jail.
Mr.. W. J. Kenney, father of the I'M
fortunate child, is well-known and
highly respected citizen of the county,
and he and his family are universally
sympathized with in their great trouble.
Davis is also of respected family,
and has borne the reputation of hard
ing young man.
