1t has taken some weeks to gather the
statistics of accidents and death as
result of our last celebration of the
country's natal day, but they have nm
ally been gathered and are now given
to the public by the Journal OF the
American Medical association. By ref.
erence to the report 1t will be learned
that there were 1928 persons injured IN
the Fourth of July celebration thls
year, and of these 131 died. sixty
seven of these deaths were due to teta-
nus Qockjaw) following the injury
while "a were the direct result of the
injuries. There were 10 persons killed
outright. II by explosions of powder,
bombs or torpedoes, by cannon ana
other causes, while 26 persons, mostly
little girls, were burned to death by
fire from fireworks.
Startling as this record is, it IS the
best since the Medical Journal began
to collect statistics of this character,
back in 1903 In that year there were
4449 persons injured, of which 366 1ost
their lives. The grand total for the
eight years since the work of collectlng
the statistics began has been Sa626
nersons injured as direct result OF
Fourth of July celebrations. Of when

sEPTEM 8ER

When the tan is deep on lovely Mabel's cheek,
And the freckes round her nose play hide-and-
seek;
When the skeeter comes along
With a swelling ombongpong,
Rather sleek;
When the airy summer Maid begins to freeze,
Getting cooler by some forty-nne degrees,
And goes on her cruel way
Bouncing every fiance
That she sees!
When the Oyster comes a-sailng o'er the bar,
And resumes his former ways so popular,
With the Goldfish and the Smet,
In the newborn month that's spelt
When the ripened grain awaits the Reaper's
And a blight comes DER the brazen Village
band;
When we hear Stump Speakers trill
Bits about the Tariff Bill
Ger the land;
When the Huskn Bee is buzzing everywhere,
And the punl1n wins rich prizes at the Fair;
When we hear the gentle Groom
OF the Wild Duck and the Loon
On the air;
In the pret little mill-pond in the vale,
And hops out upon the log,
There to warble like Frog
Strong and hale;
When the Pippin getteth ready for the bob,
And the frosty breezes round about us throb
And the pearly Corn doth lure
With its song so sweet and pure
To the cob
When the Sun begins to seek an EARLIER cot.
And the Landlord sends bill for all we've
got;
When the Lobster grown obese,
Ends his days in scarlet peace
In the pot;
When the Frost is on the Punlin and the Pea;
And there's mighty little doing by the sea; .
When the hills grow chill and bare,
And the town begins to flare
Meuily
When the sleep Of Summer finally Is slept
an. the peepng birds their pretty pipes have
pept,
And the autumn breezes blow
Who n he that doth not know
1t is Sept?

HELPED BY THE HERALD

Editor Herald: 1 thank you very
much for the insertion of my appeal
to you in your Sunday issue in regard
to my accident of the rail on the side
walk, placed there by employees of the
Pacific Electric. 1t has been the
cause of my receiving postcard
and a letter, the letter signed by "a
Friend" giving me advice to place my
case against the Pacific Electric in
the hands of the Legal Aid society,
which advice / have at once taken ad-
vantage of, and would like to thank
the unknown friend for the advice.

proved ,,e
In .Sday's issue more than half a
double column Is taken up with the
picture of this unfortunate foolish
woman, Mrs. Krauss. The reading reading
matter in connection with the olstaste-
ri affSir is bad enough, but to have
it thrust upon us in this brazen man

greatest fault with our press TO-DAY Is
its Unsuitable thirst for news OF TINS

all of it's attendant evils.

WHAT A REPURLIcAN2

Editor Herald: The most impor-
tant question of today is, What is a
Republican? In Kansas the vlcto-
rious insurgents are demanding dl-
rect legislation and many other pure
iv Socialistic reforms. Oregon, which
is Overwhelmingly Republican, has
become a pattern for legislation IN
other states. such as Colorado, whose
Democratic governor called a special
session Of the legislature to pass mi
tiative and referendum laws, with
