for E'jolly day" They show that
during the celebration of five national
birthdays, from 1903 to -9O7, inclusive,
1853 persons were killed and 22,520
were injured. Of the injured eighty
suffered total and $50 partial blindness,
$50 persons lost arms, legs or hands,
and 1870 lost one or more fingers. But
these figures, startling as they are,
convey only faint idea of the suffer
ing, both physical and mental, which
went to swell the total cost of these
five holidays; in this we must also in
clude the weeks and often months Of
anguish of the injured, the suspense OF
entire families while the fate of some
loved one hung in the balance, the hor-
ror of future of sightless years, the
pinching poverty now the lot of many
because of the death or manning of
the misunderstanding.

WHAT THE FOURTH COSTS.

The fitting celebration of Independ-
ence day is question in which patri-
otto Americans are separated into two
widely divergent parties, one claiming
that it ought to be observed as noisily
as possible, the other believing that
our national birthday is too glorious an
occasion to be marred by din and dis
order. Of course, we know that even
among those who favor a boisterous
observance there are many who can
not tolerate it themselves, and escape
to the country in order to avoid the
fortunes of the "awfu1 Fourth -; lust
as we know that large proportion of
the noise makers, including the small
boy and the big one, too, is needless,
if not ignorant, of all that our holiday
stands for; and thinks of it only as a
time when clamOr may reign unre-
strained.
The figures which indicate the price
that we pay for each of our yearly
celebration are so appalling that one
would suppose a knowledge of them
would be the most powerful deterrent
to our annual massacre This. unfor-
tunuately, is not the case For the past
five years the Journal of the American
Medical Association has endeavored to
collect statistics setting forth what the
celebration of the Fourth costs in life
and human usefulness: and although
these are admittedly incomplete-com-
piled, as they are, almost entirely from
newspaper reports, instead of from
records of hospitals, dispensaries and

brother, will also be consulted Of late
there has been a disposition on Presi-
dent Roosevelt s part to eliminate
himself somewhat, but it is doubted
whether he will hold to this policy
very long. The President became I'M
easy regarding the character of stories
which were getting into print. AS an
example an article has been going the
rounds to the effect that Mr.. Taft was
going to rent a house at Oyster Bay
and spend the summer there so that he
ould be near the President. Neither
the President nor Mr.. Taft ever had any
idea of being together during the sum-
mer. The story was circulated, of
course. to emphasize Mr.. Taft S de-
pendence upon President Roosevelt for
his election as well as his nomination
The nominee will make several
speeches during the summer and au-
tumn, but he does not know yet
whether he will make stumping tour
He will acquiesce in the Judgment of
his advisers about that, he said before
he left Washington. He wants to get
on the stump and would especially like
to invade Bryan's home state of Ne
braska. Mr.. Taft has declared that he
expects to go to Lincoln to attend the
Nebraska State Fair. That probably
viii become the excuse for western
stumping tour during the early autumn.
While Mr.. Taft has spoken many times
in nearly every one of the middle
Western states and also the states of
the Mississippi and the Missouri Val
leys it is quite probable that he will
do considerable campaigning in that
same section before the time for voting
is at hand

to step aside the moment the nominee
