CELEBRATING THE FOURTH

Many cities and towns are
coming to the conclusion that
the Fourth of July can be ap-
propriately celebrated without
the hideous noise and a ghastly
accompaniment Of loss Of life. Tt
is better to let the day 60 by
without notice than to observe
it in such way. But its sighifi-
cance can be marked and the
great event it commentaries
may be recalled without giving
the day over to rowdyism. In a
number Of cities and towns in
teresting programs are prepared,
in which various civic organiza-
tions and the schools take part.
There is music and public speak.
ing, athletic contests and table
aux, and in the evening set fire.
works. 1t is certain that the
day is more appropriately COM
memorated when some real
thought is given to the exercises
that take place than is the case
when everybody is permitted to
do what he pleases, especially
when the thing be usually pleases
to do is to make a nuisance of
himself with some noise making
instrument which destroys the
peace of mind and threatens the
safety of others. No one wishes
to see the Fourth go by without
recalling to mind that it marks
declaration of the country's in.
dependence. The thing is to do
this in some better way than by
permitting boys to blow off their
fingers and toes or blow out their
eyes.

HOUSE And SENATE RATES

The next tariff has come TO
bs an issue between Senate and
House rates. The House BY q
Protectionist majority, on Protec-
ZIONIST principles, looking to a
fair protection for American
labor and q fair profit for Ameri-
can capital, reduced many rates.
The Senate has restored most Of
these to the Dingley rates or near
them and in a number of cases
has made its rates higher than
the Dingley rate, as interpreted
by the Courts. Anumber of raw
materials made free by the House
have had a duty restored by the
Senate, a duty generally lever
than the Dingley rate.
'The Conference Committee
between the two houses will de.
eide which of these rates is to be-
come law, subject to a final vote
in both chambers. Both sets of
rates are adopted by Republican
and Protection maiorities and
both represent a determination to
make no revision which interferes
with Protection.
ePublic opinion and the opinion
of the Republican party is on the
whole with the House rates.
They follow an examination
longer and more thorough than
that of the Senate. They are
drawn and adopted by those
nearer the general body of vot-
ers. They come nearer to the
revision outlined by President
Taft during his canvass that re.
ductions should be made, but
only those which could be justi-
fed on Protection grounds and
which maintained the American
standard of wages and gave a
fair profit to American capital.
"The House rates do this.
They are approved by President
Taft. Changes may be necessary
in the House schedules but on the
whole they are more likely to
bring freedom from tariff agita-
ton, end unsettled conditions in
furious to business, and restore
stability. Public opinion will &C.
cept the House rates as an end of
controversy. The Senate rates,
if adopted, would be extremely
likely to become the basis of a
fresh tariff agitation. "-Phild.
