"A state census seems never to be
satisfactory" remarks the vinton
Eagle. "a large number of counties in
the state are showing decrease in
population, yet every one of these
counties show an increased business
and larger bank deposits. If there has
been bad work in the taking of the
present census the blame lies with the
legislature throwing the burden of ex-
pense on the counties for economy's
sake. The matter should have been
hardled by the state"
The supreme court of Iowa is said
to have decided that "the basement
saloon must go. This is incorrect
asserts the Dubuque Globe Journal
"All the court has decided is that such
a saloon is against the law"
"On May 20 last the 24S state and
429 savings banks Of this state had
on deposit the money of the people
to the amount of STAG, 493.959.29," says
the Cedar Rapids Republican. "This
was an increase of s7,432,505 since
February Is. Since year ago last
April the deposits in Iowa state and
savings banks have increased $4,000
600. 1t is difficult to imagine how

THE PAGAN EouRrH.

The above heading is the one given
an article by a, writer in one of the
current magazines, and the figures he
adduces to illustrate his argument that
the Fourth of July as now celebrated,
IN the northern states, Is highly dan.
gerous season, are startling in the ex.
IRENE. The agitation for a sane"
Fourth of July has been pushed harder
and harder for the past several years,
probably because of the increase in
the number of cases of tetanus develop.
Ing from the wounds received. OF.
tumwa. like nearly every other city of
It's size and larger, has had it's expert
ence in this line and hopes that there
will be no more However, the celebra-
ton of the Fourt.. continues almost I'M
abated and there is no likelihood that
it will ever be carried on on a smaller
scale until there are at least two po-
liceman to act as body guard for
every specimen of Young America.
But there is one measure that can
be adopted and no doubt with good eff
feet. Care can be exercised in hand
ling the explosives that are employed
to express patriotism on the Fourth,
and there is no doubt that when the
people come to know the really great
danger wrapped up in a little red fire
cracker they will be careful-more care
full that ever before. Even the woung-
sters can be taught to be careful and
there is no better way than by educa-
ton. The figures showing the Fourth
of July casualties for the past two
years furnish information that could
not be bettered as text. The maya.
zine writer above referred to contrib.
utes the following:
while the decrease in the number
of deaths last year was reassuring. it
may not mean anything. In 1901 the
statistics gathered in New York and
Chicago showed conspicuous lessen
ing of fatalities after the holiday. Only
four persons died in each of these
cities as result of their injuries that
year, whereas there had been as many
as twenty deaths in New York and
twenty-five in Chicago after celebra-
lions within the preceding few years.
"The following table shows the
Fourth of July casualties of 1903 and
1904, the only two years for which
statistics have been gathered from the

dropped from 20 to A. The other states
of the north and west figure to lesser
degrees on the list, but there are few
records from the south, and those few
apply to the Christmas fireworks cele-
bration; for the Fourth is barely rec
ognized as a holiday below Mason and
Dixon's line.
The following post-holiday tetanus
record of 1904-and that of 1908
showed similar proportions as far as
it could be compiled-indjcates the
causes of the disease in detail:

The enormous number Of injuries Of
minor nature, where tetanus does not
develop and no permanent disability
results, is so great that 1t would be
useless to try to compile anything like
an accurate report of them. The fol-
lowing table, however, is useful for
comparison, as it shows the causes Of
a number of holiday injuries in the last
two years, which did not produce lock-
