OBSERVING THE DAY.

AS we have aleady observed, Mayor
Bransford very properly suggests to the
people that there are many wiser ways
OF celebrating the Fourth than by ''the
indiscriminate and unregulated use Of
explosives"
The Mayor believes that the day
should be observed by the firing of
guns proclaiming its birth; that the
usual exercises should occur in the yari-
Gus cities, where the people can get
together and give all honor to those
who brought about the Independence
of our country. The safest of all ex-
plosives provided for this day might,
he thinks. be given to the children in
order that they may express their love
Of home and country, but on no account
should heavily charged explosives be
used by them To round UP the day
the Mayor advises a brilliant display
OF fireworks in the evening.
With these suggestions we heartily
concur; and would add another: a day
in the groves, in the canyons. by the
lakeside or on the waterway of these
ways seems better for people of taste
and education THAI the consresating In
vast crowds at public places.

THE BUYER.

The Junior Glass of the Agricul-.
tural College, Logan, has published a
year book under the name Of The
Buzzer. 1t is edited and produced
wholly under the direction Of the stu
dents and represents some phases Of
college life from the point of view
of the students.
In obedience to the laws creating
1T. the Agricultural College stands
squarely and openly for the indus
trial development of the State. That
the number doing college work in
the various branches of industrial edu-
cation has become SO great as to
make 1t possible to publish a year
book like the Buzzer. is gratifying to
all who believe that the light of mod
ern intelligence should be made to
dignity and to make desirable the
so-called common, though funda-
mentally important pursuits of men.

THE NATIONS DAY.

The first celebration of Independence
day was feld in Philadelphia il, the
grounds Of the state house, short
| time after the formal adoption OF t.Ae'
resolution. July ., 1916. Then the De-
l5claraticn was read and yociferously
applauded. The kings arms were re-
moved from the court room. And when
darkness fell bonfires were lit. and
bells rang. and other demonstrations OF
JOY testified to the enthusiasm Of the
people for liberty.
The following evening the event was
celebrated in New York. There the
troops We're drawn up in dress parade
to hear the Declaration read. The SOL.
diers at3once proceeded to dennolish the.
statue Of George III.
In 1873 general pardon was granted
death, in honor of the nations holt
day Three years later the American
army was nlobilized on the banks of
the Hudson at West Point, for the.
celebration Of the great anniversary.
In 177T Congress took q holiday and
held a banquet to which the leading,
men Of the people We're invited The
vessels in the Delaware river We're
dressed in flags of all nations, and all;
the men were ordered aloft. Cannon
were fired in honor of the President.
Upon the first official celebration by
Congress OF Independence day music
was furnished by q Hesslan hand that
had been captured by washington The
fellows We're compelled to play all day.
in the public square.
Banauets were features of the early
day celebrations. In Boston it was the
custom to give Independence Day din
ners in FaneuIl hall. At this feast ora
tors were wont to denounce despotisrn
and laud liberty. The ballad singers
used toasingsi3!

other sports were incorporated in the
Independence Day celebration at an.
early day. Noisy demonstrations in-5
creased with progress in fireworks and
gunpowder invention and competition.
Finally it became true, as the early
critics Of the days proceedings de-:
cared that Independence is very
noisy in the morning; nonsensical ora
lions arc pronounced at noon; and pa
trioticm Is exceedingly drunk lat
night" Parades have been from the,
beginning the essential of a Fourth Of
July obervance.
Ahout the. year 1925, the noisy cele-.
brations became fashionable. The small
flrecrackers We're introduced at the
opening of the trade with China; and
the big ones soon followed. Noise has
reigned ever since.
