In total casualties, it is said to have
cost more to celebrate independence dur
ing the past ten years than it cost our
forefathers to fight for it. The total
killed and wounded by Fourth of July
explosives within the past five years has
been 25,673, which is more than the cost
to the allied armies of Napoleon's defeat
at Waterloo, or the cost to the Russians
OF the bloody battle of Liao-yang, or
that of Gettysburg to the Uuion army.
And if the casualty roll of Independence
Day was as high for the previous five
years, the total for the past decade
mounts up to more than $4,000 dead and
injured thousand more than that of
the American troops throughout the
entire revolutionary war. Don't these
figures show, oonclusively, the need of
law enactment and law enforcement,

Anent the Trolley
The Great Darlington correspondent
of The Springfield Republican says:
There is probably no section in the state
of Massachusetts, so seriously affected
by the adverse decision regarding the
merger bill as southern Berkshire.
Much has depended upon the immediate
extension of the trolley lines, and all
were looking ahead to a favorable re-
port Could the railroads own and OPP
crate the street railways, it is more than
probable that the extension from Great
Darlington to Canaan would have been
built in the near future, as it is a needed
extension to the present line. President
Mellen's summer home being at Stock
bridge it is thought that he would have
a special interest in seeing that the
trolley lines of this section were extend
ed as much as possible. There has also
been in consideration the building of
the lines east through New Marlboro and
that section, but those will probably be
given up for the present as there is
some doubt manifested whether or not
they would be paying lines. The Ca
naan extension is greatly needed, as it

Britain's extensive realm, once an en-

one of weakness owing to the disin-
tegrating power of steam and electric
ity. Practical autonomy of the col

rived from the mother country is still
maintaining cohesion, but it is grow
ing so fragile that a very slight COLI

In Central America the usual or
chronic excitement seems to be dying

affects the people? They never seem
happy without some sort of storm in

Philadelphia, March 14-Enterprise is a

when accuracy is even more valuable. A
striking instance Of this was the pubIica-

schedule Of the University Of Pennsylva-
MIA for 1905
The schedule has not yet been com
pleted, and before this is done several
changes are likely TO be made in the ten
tative list already arranged. In the fake
list published to-day North Carolina Is
assigned the first date. September 50. and
Washington and jefferson the second. on
October T. In this connection Manager
Scully said to-day:
No game has been arranged with
either North Carolina or Washington and
Jefferson. Several other dates on the list
are also wrong. In fact. the whole thing
looks as If the ingenious authors had
drawn twelve teams and twelve dates
from a hat and trusted 70 luck that they
would hit the right combination"
