SENSIBLE FOIRTu.

The small boy with his toy pistol. and the big boy

Fourth of July somewhat in advance of Independence
Day.
In their appreciation Of the spirit of the festival
the great public will join with unrcstrained pleasure;
but in the interest of those who have been preserved
from railway accidents, the usual restrictions against
dangerous firearms should be imposed. The warning
of the Mayor and the Chief of Police should be fol-
lowed by few arrests.

Will be more pleasant for ALL including the small boy

Gcod-naturcd way rather than acted as leaders This
new element In active politics is strongly for Folks
nomination. while many of the socaed old politi-
cians taking position with them.
A percepible change is manifest in the attitude Of
the Republican papers toward Folk. Until few
days ago they had presumably with the purpose OF
encouraging split in certain political circles, shouted
for him; but now that doubts are entertained con-
corning the scnuincncss of the opposition in those
circles. which give evidence of rcceptivity and willing
to yield TO public desires when fully made
known, the Republican papers have apparently de-
cidcd that II IL time to stop. They have been given
too much Of good thing and that which they now
fear is harmony and unanimty for the man they have
so strongly commended to the people.
