Still Too Large.

The killed and wounded list for last
Fourth of July is just completed and
the country is Mortified to find that we
didn't have such a safe and sane
Fourth after all. 1t is barely possible,
however, that the statistics are more
complete this year than they have
been in the past, so that we have more
information. The list of fatalities for
1909 is greater by SO than the list for
1903 in spite of the vigorous campaign
against the deadly blank cartridge and
paper cap. The number of men, wo-
men and children injured is less by 300
than a year ago, but even then the fig
ures, 5,307 are far too large.
Chicago and Cleveland show the
most remarkable improvement. In
1908 each reported ~ deaths. In 1909,
under the sane Fourth rules and reg
ulations both present clean slate. 1t
is the smaller cities and towns, many
of which have not heretofore reported
that make up the total. That is what
lends color to the theory that perhaps
we really made a more noticeable i'm
provement than the figures would in
dictate, because the returns We're less
complete a year ago.
In any event there has been some
improvement and it is the devout wish
of every one who has pondered over
| the shocking waste of life and limb
| under the unrestricted use of eXplO-
sives in a celebration, that the i'm
provement continue until public senti-
ment kills out all desire to endanger
the life of a human being for the sake
of a noise. The danger is that the les
sons of 1909 will be forgotten in 1910.

The recent reunion of the Bradbury
family at Waverly, Mass, was of es-
pecial interest in Maine for the great
e- part of the family resides in Maine.
The members take just pride in the
fact that the family can trace it's d.
rect lineage back through five CEN
tries. In 1885 True Bradbury moved
from Limerick, Me, to the then wilder
ness of Aroostook County and settled
in what is now New Limerick. His
family consisted of ten sons, some of
whose descendants, while at the home
of Lester Bradbury, four years ago,
conceived the idea of organizing an
association to hold annual reunions.
The organization was called the De-
scendants of True Bradbury, and Sam
uel Il. Bradbury of Limerick was
elected president and Henry X. Brad
bury of Van Buren,, secretary-treas-
urer. The following year, 1907, the
reunion was held at. the home of the
president and the next year with Les
ter Bradbury at Fort Kent.

ADVISES FARM FOR
YOUTHS
PRESIDENT TELLS MISSISSIPPI
ANS THAT BOYS SHOULD PRE-
FER THAT TO LIFE IN THE
CITY.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 3.-President
Taft would have young men Of Amer
lea stay on the farm with its plenty
and certainty, rather than decide on
life in the city. Mr.. Taft indicated
his sentiments in. this respect in an
address at the state fair here on Mon
day.
1--WE must admit he said, "the oc-
cupation of the farmer Is among one
or two of the most Independent occu-
pations that go to make this country
great-and state which is great be-
cause of it is entitled to recognition
as typifying Americanism in the high
est degree.
I'VE have arrived at time in the
development of this country and the
would when old methods of agricul-
ture must be discarded, il we would
keep up with the procession. Land
is becoming too valuable to treat it in
the old wasteful way. I am glad to
note Mississippi has one of the best
agricultural institutions in the coun-
try.
Here you have been able to re-
strain that tendency of your young
men to come into cities and live in
tenements, in order that they may be
where the wheels go around. If /
were advising young man as to his
future profession, I should say to
him there probably was greater op-
portunity for real reward in the pro-
fession of agriculture than in any
other"

"Reminiscences of "Wild Goose Bill"
In recent issue of the Spokesman

his death he lived in the west, and
for more than 40 years was a squaw

to the Hollis King ranch from a trip
to Wilbur on the day Of the shoot

Parker and Jack Bratton at the
ranch. Jealousy existed between the
men for the affections of the woman.
AS "Bi1l'' entered the cabin he whip

the performance with two shots at
the woman, the second shot shatter-
ing one of her arms. Bratton Is
said to have. taken to his heels as
soon as the greetings began being
exchanged and. beyond a bad scare,
was not harmed. But Parker,
stage driver on the Conconully run,
was not of the running breed. He
began shooting at Bill, emptying his
gun, and then running to an out
building for a rife. AS he reap
peared with the rife Bill stood in
the cabin door. The two men fired
at the same instant. and both fell
dead.

But about one thing. Cannon is
evidently mistaken. He can not gavel
through his classification of republi-

schemes in congress. The voters of
the REPUBLICAN party will decide as

not.
"But we shall never believe in the

PEARY IS CREDITED
WITH DISCOVERY
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIE-
TY INVESTIGATES HIS DATA
ON NORTH POLE AND HE
PROBABLY WILL BE INDORSED

Washington, Nov. 3.-Commander
Robert E. Peary practically was en-
dorsed as a discoverer of the north
pole by the National Geographic So
ciety yesterday.
Everything indicates that Peary's
personal statement before the SUBJ
committee of the society yesterday
convinced it's members that he had
set foot on the top of the world. The
explorer has been invited to deliver
the first of his public lectures before
the society here November -, and
il was pointed out last night that
had the proofs been open to the
slightest question he never would
have been asked to appear.
Endorsement Likely.
1t was announced at the home of
Rear Admiral C. H. Chester, retired,
that a public statement of the find
ings of the society probably would
be forthcoming tomorrow. This rap
idity in determining the genuineness
of Peary's claim is taken to mean
that there is no difference among
the three experts who are delving
into his Arctic data.
Peary declines positively to dis
cuss his testimony before the COM
mittee.
There is nothing I can say" he
declared. "All that / have to explain
or elucidate was given to the SUBJ
committee of the Geographic Society
Yesterday afternoon. I do not know
what those gentlemen will do with
it and naturally | won't discuss that
point"
Peary Confident.
It was evident from his manner
that the explorer was satisfied what
the verdict would be. For more than
two hours members of the subcom-
mittee Intercepted and cross-ex-
amined him, after they had made a
close study of his data.
On request of the society, Peary
forwarded all of his memoranda to
it a few days ago. The organization
promptly turned the papers over to
the board of managers. which in turn
named a subcommittee of investiga-
ton. consisting of Rear Admiral c.
H. Chester. o. H. Tittmann, of the
coast and geodedic survey, and Henry
Gannat. chairman of the United
States geographical board. These are
regarded by the society as the best
fitted scientists in the United States
to pass on Peary's documents.
