Working for a Saner Fourth.

In connection with the annual con-
vcntion of the Fairgrounds Association
of America which is now opening at
Pittsburg. there is to be held a confer
encc in which 40 leading cities of the
country will be represented, for the
discussion of the problem of safer and
saner Fourth of July. The movement
for such celebration of the anniver-
sary of our national independence has
been carried on for several years in
various cities and now t is becoming
an organized movement throughout the
country, movement which has already
accomplished SO much that hopes are
high that it will before long accomplish
complete transformation of all our
holidays
The Fourth of July as now celebrated
has much to apologize for The con-
trast between the celebration today and
that of earlier generations is something
painful for the patriot to dwell upon.

which is unanswerable. During the
five celebrations Of the Fourth from
1905 to 1907 inclusive, 2l.520 persons

to the celebration of July 4. 1907, de-

most mutilating wounds is by far the
giant cracker" In that year aloneI ], 4s9
injuries including thirteen deaths and
eight cases of lockjaw, were caused by
the giant cracker. In that year thirty
one persons were burned to death as
result of the celebration.
How unreasonable and unnecessary
the existing mode of celebration is anv
one must realize when he is told how
the Swiss. the Germans the French. the
Japanese. or other peoples celebrate
their great holidays. If we mtst have
great noise. why not do as the Japanese
DO on the emperor's birthday-allow the
military establishments or designated
experts to make it? We neeC. not dis

A sort of bower lustrous with scintillant

To fill with music sweet my quiet sylvan

And deep within its pools let trout or

Unframed of me.

And he NV neighbors, unafraid and
