Easily Explained,

So many things on this great earth
Where we survive Hfe's season
Seem going on. mid grief or mirth,
Without sufficient reason.
And when you crave
From sage or knave
Some cause for ways that we behave,
About the best that they can bring
Is Its the customary thing
No scientist can truly say
How plants from seed arrive.
Or why fair blossoms fade away
While weeds SO rankly thrive.
The best you find
Whenever your mind .-
Unto such queries is inclined
Is some slight change that they will RIM
On Its the customary thing!'
With so convenient a reply,
Let's fret our minds no more
With asking why one man will try
For office DER and DER.
When there appears
Through years ard years
The same old bid for votes and cheers,
There is no need for questioning.

Next Independence Dav.

Gratifying evidence appears that the
District Commissioners are enlisted in
the cause of a safe and sane Fourth of
July. Commissioner Macfarland's state
ment, issued yesterday, indicates that
next year, If the personnel Of the Dis
trict government remains unchanged,

the right to do business unless the Com
missioners grant 1t to him, and if, as
Mr. Macfarland's statement indicates
clearly, the Commissioners are of the
opinion that the public safety demands
the repression Of this traffic. there need
be no difficulty whatever about giving
Washington comparative peace on In
dependence day.

Examinations was q decided success.
Had the fund raised specifically for this
purpose been swelled by even one-half
of the money spent on picayune assort-
ments of firecrackers, powder, cheap
fireworks and badly managed hot-air
balloons, it would have been possible for
Washington to give a night display of
truly magnificent proportions. 1t is inn
possible to estimate the waste of money

The water supply for such service is
