SANE FOURTH OF JULY.
PATRIOTISM vs. NOISE.
Popular Demand That the Rowdy Element Be
 curbed.

Popular demand for sane Fourth of July has been growing In the last few years, with the result that in many cities where preparations are now be- ing made for the celebration of the an- niversary of independence there is an effort to curb the rowdy element. In Eugene, for example, an ordinance has been passed prohibiting the use of fire crackers moro than four inches long, rockets of greater weight than six ounces and forbidding the use of dyna- mite canes of any kind. Such regula- tion is clearly reasonable. It does not in any way interfere with a proper celebration, nor deprive the small boy of the right to make a reasonable amount of noise. There is limit to the amount of noise that can be made without interfering with the peace and safety of the people in general, and when those who choose to celebrate with noise, 1t Is proper for the city government to step in and exercise a restraining authority.
 If boys only thought SC, they can en- joy the Fourth of July without endan- gering the lives or destroying the nerves of those less denaonstrative than themselves The Fourth was formerly observed in a sane manner, and there lis no reason why it should not be now and in the future. As a matter of fact there is more enjoyment in the country picnic, with its old fashioned games for the young people, than there is In the crowding of dusty city streets, where small boys-and some bigger ones-send devil charges" sputtering along the sidewalks to frignten the timid and where the dynamite caps nearly burst the eardrums of passers- by. Modern methods of celebrating the Fourth permit one-half of the people to enjoy themselves by making the other half miserable. That reform shall be instituted and sane Fourth

POWER OF TREASURY.

Two striking illustrations have been given in the past IS months of the power of the United States treasury over the money markets of the world. The first illustration was afforded under the treasury administration of Secretary Shaw by his order to facili" tate gold imports, This made gold en- gagged by American bankers in any part of the world instantly available in New York through temporary deposits of treasury money, the deposits being withdrawn as soon as the gold arrived. Under this advice, the rates of ex- change favorng the operation, the United States was able to draw im- mense sums of gold from Europe. So great was the drain upon the gold re- serves in the Bank of England that that bank resorted to the extraordi- nary protective measure of advancing it's rate of discount to per cent. The other government banks of Europe followed suit by putting their discount rates upon higher level. Even this measure of protection might not have been effective in preventing the flow of gold to New York if it had not been for the forbearance of New York bankers who began to realize that any further inroads upon the gold re- serves of London would be apt to pro- duce such financial distress abroad as unfavorably to affect the financial sit uation all over the world.
 The second illustration of the power of the United States treasury has been afforded by the action of Secre- tary Cortelyou in depositing customs receipts in the national banks to the amount of $265OO,OOO. This has had an instant effect upon the money mar kets of the United States and Europe. As a result the rates of discount of the leading European banks have been lowered and condition of comparative ease prevails.
 All this serves to confirm the bold and much criticised declaration made by Secretary Shaw in his last annual report, that if he had balance of $100, 900 at his disposal, the United States treasury could at all times pre- vent any financial panic in any part of the World.-Wall Street Journal,

 established does not mean that wi shall go about the streets with lonj faces or observe Q Sabbath sttllnessS But there ts wide difference betweei Sabbath stiffness and the noise of al unrestrained Fourth of July celabra- tion-a difference so great that between the two there can be found happy mean which will make the day most enjoyable for all concerned. Rural conn munities should find in the Fourth a most excellent opportunity to attract visitors from the city, By arranging attractive entertainment and then let- ting the city people know of the plans that had been made, the country resi- dents would draw large patronage from the city people who prefer to spend the Fourth away from the heat and dust and noise of the city 1n some such way the country people could get back a part of the money they spend in the city when they come to the circus. And a great many city people would appreciate this contribution to the sane Fourth.

HANG ON
Coffee Topers as Bad as Others.

"A friend of our family who lived with us a short time was great coffee drinker and continual sufferer with dyspepsia. He admitted that coffee disagreed with him, but you know how the coffee thinker will hold on to his coffee, even if he knows it causes dys- pepsia.
 One day he said to me that Postum Food Coffee had been recommended and suggested that he would like very much to try it. l secured a package and made it strictly according to directions. He was delighted with the new bever- age, as was every one of our family. He became very fond of it and in a short time his dyspepsia disappeared. He continued using the Postum and in about three months gained twelve pounds.
 My husband is a practiclng physi- elan and regards Postum as the health lest of all beverages. He never drinks coffee, but is very fond of Postum. In fact, all of our family are, and we never think of drinking coffee any more" Read "The Road to Melville in pkgs.

The Mexican Herald takes this inter- esting view of the lottery: The lottery, like poker, teaches many lessons; pa- tience for one thing, hopefulness for another The Spanish saying, Pa tienee and shuttle the cards" is advice worth its weight in gold to the unfor- tunate; also that other proverb, "To- morrow will be another day" A course in poker and the purchase of a few dozen lottery tickets would greatly benefit the young divinity student, who would gain self-discipline thereby, and also an insight into the sinuous work ing of his own sample of human na- ture.

ONLY TWO GAMES
 IN STATE LEAGUE. Other Contests Postponed On Account of Wet
 Grounds. WATERBURY A VICTOR Holyoke Defeats Bridgeport Waterbury Here
 To-Day.
WATERBURY A VICTOR

Only two games were played in the Connecticut league yesterday, owing to the bad condition of the grounds. New Haven was scheduled to meet the Rosebuds, but it rained and 1t was necessary to postpone the game. If the weather continues as 1t has been for the past week there will be so many postponed games that 1t may be neces- sary to prolong the baseball season far into the winter.
 The Brass City aggregation will be the attraction this afternoon and the fans will no doubt be furnished with good baseball. West or Noonan will twirl for New Haven. A good chance to see the 1907 champions defeated and all the fans should turn out.

Yale Crew May Race There-JuIii
 Curtiss in Conference.

Julian W. Curtiss, of New York city, the Yale rowing advisor, came here yesterday to meet Walter Camp, Cap tain Ide, of the Yale crew, and Coach John Kennedy, of the Yale crew, rela- tive to entering an eight at the Amer ican Henley on the Schuylkill, Phila- delphia, in two weeks.
 The matter was discussed at length, and it is hoped that plans can be made for one of the Yale crews to start in the races. The varsity will not be en- tered, of course, because of the fact that the race is to be a sprint event of only one and one-quarter miles in length, while the varsity is training for a four-mile event.
 No decision was reached at yester- days conference.

kinky wool, had played together ut
mud pies and had swung on the same
gate ever since they could remember,
for Nina's nanny was Maggie's nurse,

seven years old Maggie loved Nina
In spite Of her color. yet she had a
feeling that her friend deserved to be
white. so she added TO her prayer each
night:
please, God, make Nina white"
AS the weeks went by and Nina re-
manned unchanged Maggie felt that her
petition needed reinforcement, so she
confided In Nina, begging her to pray
for the greatly desired bleaching But
Nina in surprise locked at Maggie
with wide open eyes and exclaimed:
