THE FOURTH OF lilly.


All ST. Louis should celebrate the Fourth of July
at the Worlds Fair. An exceptionally good pro-
gramme has been arranged and this. with the sur
passing regular features and exhibits ought pro-
vide much aud varied entertainment as any
one might desire
The throng should number 100000 persons. There
is better place to enjoy the Fourth and resort
which justly deserves the favor of the public.
Whatever the weather conditions are. the Worlds
Fair accommodate and interest the crowds
1t is far preferable TO have sensible Fourth at
the Exposition than TO indulge in dangerous pranks
the streets. Mayor Wells and Chief of Police
Kiey have cautioned boys and adults concerning
the law and the of firearms. The law should he
enforced. Strict precautions should. and no doubt
will. be taken at the Exposition, and visitors may
help toward enforcement by disdaining to follow the
abuses of Il patriotic custom.
Let us have sensible Fourth and let us celebrate
it at the Worlds Fair. by enjoying the special pro
gramme and seeing interesting exhibits. The
Worlds Fair is an appropriate place. As popular
institution it makes a strong call upon the COM
munity for patronage. Independence Day should
bring record breaking crowd to the.Fair.

FIREWORKS AND EMPIRE.

To-day we are popping frecrackers and celebrating
something which call Independence The
patriotism which therein finds expression is emil
nently praseworthy. 1t is well to love the country
under any and all conditions.
But there is just tinge of sadness, regret in
the celebration. from the standpoint Of that ntelli
gent and deeper patriotism which notes how the
independence which declared in 1916 and
achieved by war has become merged in The regal
dignity of empire-a something prouder. perhaps.

of the deeper solctude for this great nation of

fire limits required revision. The statement not

Efforts should be made to amend the building
laws and extend the fire limits at the earliest con-

which will prevent, in the future, the building of

IMPRESSIONS OF ST. LOUIS.

ST. Louis is one Of the Oldest and largest of Ameri-
cities. Yet in respects it has not been as
well known as some Of the newer and smaller. Some
false impressions as to local atmosphere and
methods had spread, leaving the idea that it was Il
sturdy place, but lacking in PRIDE energy and the
modern spirit.
: That inaccurate opinions were held by persons
gwho never had seen the city, and even by persons
whose business it is to know the characteristics Of
important communities. is illustrated in the surprise
which of affairs have expressed upon their de-
parture. They found a city entirely different from
what they had pictured. and consequently it was
scarcely less interesting to them than the Worlds
Fair

relatively slow up to about ten years ago. neither
can it be denied that the advancement was solid
