TUESDAY EvsNIEe. July 7. 1908.

STATISTIC of deaths and accidents
from fcolhardy procedures in connection
with the celebration of the Fourth OF
July are now being published. 1t ap-
u ara that there were II deaths and, p
624 accidents due to the careless hand
ling of pistols, guns and explosives. 1t
required several columns in the New
York Tribune of lat Sundsy to give
list of Fourth of Jnly deaths and acct
dents. Of course there were many other
mishsps which the reporters failed to
hear of. The Commissioners OF the D.s-
trict of Columbia will take drastic
measures toward eliminating the danger
Gus manner OF celebrating Independence
Day in future. II think Washington
should set an example to the country by
celebrating the Fourth of July without
manning lis citizens" Commissioner
MacfsrlAnd has thus expressed his views.
He SAYS that in future the city should
bsve a populsr celebration. 10 such
csse, he said, he would urge that the
sale of fireworks be forbidden. He said
he would also refuse - suspend the Law
against the 6rlrg Of pistols and the u'e
OF explosives This view OF celebrating
the holiday is backed by strong public
sentiment ia every city for a sane OBJ
ssryance. The commissioner will rec
ommend that the superintendent OF Po-
lies and the fire marshal be instructed
next year moi to issue permits, which
will not only prevent the sale OF fre-
works, but their use, in the District oil
Columbia. Commissioner West says;
81 believe the day can be observed with
as much patriotism and more sanity ii
the wauton use of gunpOwder is pre-
Vent5d.'

choice and whoever he names will be the
nominee.
The New Workers appears to be none
TOO eager to name a vice presidential
candidate. Although Tsmmany Leader
Murphy is making great pretenss Of
being a strong Bryan supporter, and,
! ecause OF the power of his organization
is doubtless able to throw the big vote
of that slsts 10 whomsoever be pleases,
the rank and file OF the delegation is at
present divided. When Murphy says
the word they will doubtless cast united
vote.
But as yet they are not sure whom
they are going TO support. There is
strong suspicion, however, that Murphy
has an understanding with Bryan on this
question. There is an even stronger
suspicion that Bryan is in favor OF
Towne's nomination. Thomas +.
Grady, the Tsmsnny orator and close
personal friend of Murphy, Is said to
have been selected to put Towne in
nomination.
Towne declared that he would have
at least half of the New York delega-
ton and that he had received assurances
from enough other states to make his
nomination certain.
Former Senator Pettigrew, one OF
BryRn's closest friends, said today that
he thought it might take a number of
ballots to determine who would be the
vice presidential nominee.
There is one thing certain and that
ia no matter whether there is secret
understanding or not between Bryan
and any of the leaders with regard to
the vice presidency there will be no
direct intimstion of it until after the
platform has been adopted.

At almost every school in the city
of Saint Paul arrangements are be-
ing made to put the children in
possession of gardens for the summer
months. Gardening will be taught
seriously in connection with the
vacation schools which are to be a
feature in Saint Paul this year.
The enthusiasm over the gardening
idea has swept over the city like a
wave and at one school alone zoo
children applied for gardens. 1t is
proposed in this way to cultivate
every vacant lot in the city. It can
readily be imagined that this will
readily contribute to make the city
more beautiful and attractive to
visitors. In making application for
a garden lot. one small boy asked for
some pop corn seed, stating that he
wanted to grow three rows of the
delicacy.

Sl.OO PER YEAR.
THURSDAY, MAY %, 1908.

Congress is about to, adjourn.
Like nearly every congress preceding
a..presldential election it has been
guilty of much talk and little accom-
pIishment. Yet. when the clouds
roll away it will be found that not a
few meritorious measures have been
passed. 1t has not been wholly idle.
There has been the usual sparring
for party ad vantage and fillibuster-
ing on the part of the minority.
Congress is made up of many men
and many minds and it is not an
easy. matter to get them to agree on
any measure. President Roosevelt
tried it with his ''big stick'' and
failed. 1t is probably we'll for the
country that this be so. With all it's
faults the American congress Is the
greatest legislative body of the
greatest people on earth.

Don't use snuff! 1t NAV cause in
sanity! 1t is claimed by medical
authorities that of all forms in
which tobacco is used. snuff is the
most filthy and harmful to the human
system. Taken into the nose the
small dustlike PARTICLES are shifted
into the nasal passages. coating and
exciting the delicate mucous lining
of the cavities of the head. throat.
bronchial tubes and even the lungs.
causing arrangement of the
minute capillary blood vessels and the
nerves with which they connect.
Taken into the mouth the fine
powder will work downwards through
the aesophagus into the stomach and
intestines. coating the mucous men,
branes in the different portions of
the alimentarv canal, filling or OBJ
structing all fine ducts or passages.
preventing the kidneys. the liver
and other organs from performing
their necessary functions. The per-
sons afflicted with the snuff habit
will consequently feel sick and
miserable, and being unable or I'M
willing to locate the cause of the
trouble. will become RESPONDENT.
As the nerves become affected. the
will becomes weakened. . The Sheaf
has it on good authority that many
suicides can be traced to the excess
sive use of snuff. It's effect on the
human system is more destructive
than the drinking of pure alcohol.
And it is sad fact that the snuff.
habit is on the increase. Twenty
years ago there were only one or two
snuff factories in the United States,
while now there are large number.
In view Of the great harm which the
habit causes, the Sheaf think it timely
to sound a note of warning in the
hope that some may break away
from it and save themselves misery
as well as expense. II is an I'M
natural and filthy habit. Gut it
Quit cut it out!
