THE COURIER AT THE coNvEN-
TIoN.

The real test Of a newspapers
worth is in the manner of handling the
big events This is to political year
and the big events of the year will be
of political nature Aside from the
election in November, the nominating
conventions Of the two great parties
overshadow and draw the greatest
public attention. The Courier spared
no expense in giving it's readers the
most complete reports of the Chicago
convention, and this paper will re-
port the Denver convention on the
same costly and extensive scale.
The Courier will have representa-
tive in the convention, working in con-
junction with representatives from the
other four Lee syndicate papers, and
authentic reports will be received
daily until the nominations are made
and the convention adjourns.

Chicago is trying to do it's part to
spread sentiment in favor of sane
observance of the holiday. Repre-
sentatives from all the clubs will
meet today for the purpose of making
plans to aid the city officials in their
efforts for a sane celebration. The
following telegram from Band Whit
lock, mayor of Toledo, will be read to
show what can be done when the peo
pie join with their city administra-
ton in demanding the enforcement of
sane measures
The people of Toledo long ago con-
cluded they did not require the noise
of bombs and high explosives nor the
jshattering of nerves, nor the loss of
life and limb to express their patri-
otism, and this sentiment was crystal
lied into a law by an ordinance Of
the city council. For four years under
a general observance of this ordinance
Toledo has quietly celebrated the
Fourth of July without noise or acct
dent or injury of lockjaw or fires. To-
ledo would not for moment think of
returning to the old barbarities, and if
Chicago would but join her in a move
ment in which she is proud to be the
pioneer, her sane and sensible celebra-
ton would become general, and in
stead of mere bombast there would be
a spirit Of real patriotism.
And with this evidence of what can
be done when united effort is made,
Chicago citizens will set about with
practical plans to prevent as far as
possible the wholesale loss of life
through insane celebration. 1t is just
In late years that frenzied Fourth of
July, with It's heavy toll of deaths and
injuries has become the vogue. 1t is
high time for return to sanity.
