safe. We can get along without can
non crackers and dangerous noises
Of that character. The Times edi.
turialIy says. The orders Of the
police basr6 in relation 10 the cele,
bra.ion Of TIE Fourth Of July are
strong and rational They have the
tons of a determines purpose to en-.
force the city ordinances relating
10 the Use Of fireworks on the Fourth
Of July and previous to that day.
These orders hold out an especial
warning for the toughs and fools
who abuse the license Of the day
to the terror. injury or discomfort Of
everybody else. II the patrolmen
obey these orders strictly there viii
be enough arrests before the day Of
celebration arrives to serve as good
object lessons for those who are nat
orally disposed to think that "ev.
eFythiBg goes" in the name Of pa
tFiotizm. The police board owes IL to
the city TO show that such orders
can be ~enforced-to establish a prece
dent for the admonition and en-.

THE horrible murder q Elsie 81

nee IS no valid argument against mis-.
slonay work Teachers o. young

Americans Aged men and women
should have charge Of this work
under all circumstances The young
lady murdered. il would appear. was
not 30 much Of a teacher as she was
