 It has become known that Alderman Fisk is out for the nomination He would neither admit nor deny that ne was to be candidate, but it may be reasonably assumed that when caucus time rolls around he will be a candi date. s'f "T
 MT. Fisk, 1t Is said, will get the hearty support of State Central Com nitteenlan J. Taylor Flynn and Reg S trsr of Voters Humphrey O'Connor.- It is well known fact that Mayor Fisher doesnt mix with the Blynn-O Connor combination and there has always been more or less of a war between the mayor and Flynn since the mayor was elected two years ago. Flynn was one
 
 of Fishers strongest adhereuts during the campaign but after Fisher was elected Flynn, in expecting to got a plum, got a, lemon Consequently Flynr and the mayor have been at odds, eact trying to get the better of the other with the odds so far in favor of Fisher | Flynn's last chance is at the coming cailcus and as Fisk sis a good v11fI gettery there are indications of a clost contest for the nomination, Fisk ha' been senior alderman for two term and is in sympathy with the lahotipl 1 class
 At the present time Mayor Fisher i spending his vacation at Westerlo, N Y, trying, as he says, to ferget poll ties" and he knows nothing of th plans to beat him.

FOURTH OF july ACCIDENTS.

The list OF casualties for the Fourth
of July this year gives 90 killed and
1858 wounded. The number of killed.
however. win increase because many
OF the wounded will die as result of
their injuries.
II is too bad that public opinion has
not long ago been converted to u safe
and sane celebration OF the Nation's
birthday, although, every recurring
year. the record of fatalities cries out
aloud against the foolishness that costs
so many lives. Is 1t necessary to sacri-
fee precious human beings on the altar
of patriotism in u time of peace? Is
American liberty an idol that Graves
human limbs, arms, heads, or fingers
for food? II would almost appear So
Moloch was not more Unsuitable than
the folly that has made the Fourth a
day Of general pandemonium. 1t was
not more absurd TO seek death under
the wheels of the chariot OF Juggernaut
than to court an untimely end by ex-
plosions on great holiday
There was time when the public
preferred to listen to patriotic speeches
on the significance OF the day and Wit
ness the fireworks set on by experts
and paid for out of the public funds.
The modern celebration, which is un-
restrained savagery, is unworthy Of the
day The great opportunity of implant-
ing the lessons of It in the youthful
mind is also lost. and the result is de-
porable
But, speaking of Fourth of July acct
dents. II Is claimed the city of Council
Bluffs. Iowa, has found a practical way
of reducing them TO n minimum. IN
that city. according TO reports, a squad
of twenty-five boys and girls is en-
pioyed MS special officers from the LIST
10 the 9TH of the month of July. It Is
the duty of those little guardians Of or

and tho fires due to tho holiday have

OUR VIEW OF LATIN AMERICA
Prof. L. S. Rowe In North American
ReNleM.

Prof. l.. s. Rowe In North American
Review.
We must overcome certain fundamen-
tai wea knesses, which constitute a mem
ace to the development of a better UNI
der3tanding between the northern and
southern sections of this hemisphere.
The first of these defects is the tend
ency TO interpret South American in
situations in terms OF the least adj
vanced OF those countries. In our ig-
norance we have taken II for granted
that the turbulent conditions which
prevail In a few OF the republics are
characteristic of all. We have failed
to appreciate the fact that South Amer
lea offers as many gradatlons OF lnstl-
tutional development as Europe, and
that the usual slurring Judgment is
deeply resented by the more advanced
countries. The second defect Is of n
far more serious nature. as II involves
one of the fur.damental traits of our
national character Foreign critics of
the American people have often point
ed out the spirit of condescension, Dor
dering on contempt, which marks the
attitude OF the average American to-
ward foreign institutions, The slight
est divergence from our form Of gov
eminent is regarded as a stamp of In
ferlority. American publications con-
stantly dwell on the supposed liability
of the people OF South America TO de-
velop free instltutions-a purely graf
utous assumption, which has never
been supported by serious scientific IN
Vestigation Even IN our university in
structions there Is tendency to use
the terms anglo Saxon and Latin"
as expressing the contrast between the
ability TO establish and develop FREQ
institutions and the absence OF this
capacity.
