FRIDAY. JULY |. 1910
cARNAGE or THE FoURTH

IT. HE American Medical Association has issued
n statement appropriate to the coming
Fourth of July showing that the casualties on the
last holiday were 5625, the victims being mostly
children
About one-fourth of this number were killed
and the remainder were manned for life
These figures are appalling and should cor
vince parents OF the dangers that lurk IN the
"old time" celebration Of the Fourth II children
are permitted to handle the dangerous fireworks,
the fault will be with the parents alone They
have certainly had sufficient warning OF the rec
ord of carnage
During the last year there has been persistent
agitation FOR a safe Fourth of July. Some cities
have adopted stringent regulations Others have
done practically nothing
1t would seem that no argument should be ne
oessarv in behalf of a rational observance OF the
Fourth for the TIME will surely come and 1t Is

be thing OF the past Why not hurry along this
time
The dangers of the Fourth alone have been
dealt with in most OF the discussions of the
matter. but there is another element that should
be considered
Think of the sick. the feeble and dying to
whom the noisy Fourth is a day OF terror, while
10 many Others it is time of great annoyance
The person who puts off noisy fireworks with

SO the reports say, got hold Of this organization
and it was converted into the exact reverse OF
what had been intended Then came the Jack
pot distribution of spos, the bipartisan combi-
nation to prey upon the people and do what the
interests demanded for consideration. These
agreements are the latest development Of the
boss system OF politics. An agreement of this
kind between the Tammany leaders and the Re
publican bosses Of New York controls the Leg
islature Of that State, and it has been almost
iendish in its opposition to Governor Hughes
In Pennsylvania the bipartisan scheme has
perhaps reached its fullest development for the
last Democratic State Convention was hood
winked and controlled the Republican leaders
creating such condition OF affairs as to cause
plans for a new ticket Here in Delaware, we
have not been troubled with bipartisan agree
ments, but perhaps they will come some day. In
the Legislature we have symptoms OF them
whenever any legislation affecting the interests
is brought up for consideration.
The Peoria convention has heen termed the
beginning of the Illinois rebellion. The time
the decent citizens think is now ripe to strike a
blow at the rule of such bosses as I.orimer. As
the first step it is purposed to take part in the
primaries to see that responsible persons are nom
mated for the Legislature by each party This
is a good beginning, but if it proves unsatsfac-
tory there will doubtless N move towards an
independent party

CHANGE I'M MR. HANDY.

FROM the columns Of the ever scinhllating
Dover News we grasp and gasp at the
following which is headed, Clearing Decks for
Action.
The Honorable L Irving Handy spoke
here last week but there was something
lacking. The artistic let black fresooing
of the upper lip, back of which that sill
yer tongue works, has been rubbed on.
We would condemn the vandalism
that has taken from us our Handy OF
old and left only this new FORM were
II not lust possible that he is getting in
light running order for the coming cam
paign We like runners that can carry
Kent county as Handy did in Novem-
ber 1908 And if he can run better with
that weight off he'll overcome the sleep
mess of the so-called Democrats of New
Castle and Sussex
We had heard rumor that razor welded by
man who had no love for the beautiful had
committed an assault upon Mr., Handy, but the
report Of the News proves that il was all too
true And we have also heard rumors that some
person presumed to be an imposter, was going
about the State representing himself to be Mr.
Handy
The Dover News thinks that Mr. HANDY is
stripping himself for action, but we doubt wheth.
er our friend will make better run mustaeheless
than he did with the additional burden. But
perhaps Mr. Handy has set the pace and razor
will get busy with the Hon, Robert c White and
the Hon Albert F. Polk
Is the Democratic race to be for the man with
the clean shaven facet If so. the Hon Roland G..
Pavnter. sometime Democratic candidate for
Governor has a handicap which IT will be hard
for the others to overcome.
But why the sleepiness Of the Democrats oil
New Castle and Sussex about which the News
comments. Is the Wolcott-Sapp combination
the only live wire among the Democrats of Della
ware.
But after all it is odd that Mr.. Handy oanno
