For a Saner Fourth

The Burlington News argues fol
a sane Fourth, saying:
Every Fourth of July an average
of 200 people are killed and several
thousand injured. 1t is a stupen-
dous price to pay for license in the
celebration of even our most notable
national anniversary. And the
worst.oI it is that the sacrifice of life
and limb is utterly unnecessary as
as expression of the patriotic spirit.
Our glorious Fourth is day of anx-
iety and labor for fire departments,
police departments, hospitals, snr-
geons, nurses, property owners and
parents. And all for what? Not
surely, to express spontaneous JOY
in the fact that our country was
born, and not to honor the memory
of the men who made the nation.
The difficulty of bringing about a
change in the traditional methods is
well nigh insuperable; but a great
deal can be accomplished by restric-
tions in the use Of fireworks"

fact" that many of the leading eiti-

not give Hon. Frederick G.. Fleet
