THE FOURTH OF JULY.

The proclamation OF Mayor ran con
cernino the proper celebration OF the
Fourth OF July will be found elsewhere
in the Gazette. 1t is written more IN
n suggestive than a mandatory VEN,
although il is clear that 1t is his pur-
pose. as much as possible, to have tne
laws obeved. it is hoped that 1t VIII
be read carefully, and, as law abiding
citizens. all will unite with his honor
and the organizations representing the
good sense Of the community, 50 that
Independence Day may be observed IN
A manner neither offensive nor dan
gerous to any, In the large cities Oh
the country the strong arm OF the law
has been brought into requlstion to
put a stop to explosions in the streets
ON next Monday, while the newspapers
have for months been endeavorng to
educate the people on lines which IN
f,ture will not make the Fourth OF
July a day to be dreaded by so many;
A contemporary which has advocated
a safe and sane observance OF lndepeh-
dence Day for years calls attention to
the fact that thousands OF our fore
fathers laid down their lives in the
cause Of liberty, while many more
carried empty sleeves and hobbled on
wooden legs after the close OF the
revolutionary war. Annually for over
a century and third members OF each
succeeding generation have been killed
and wounded in celebrating the
Declaration of Independence, and,
were correct figures obtained, it could
be shown that more people have been
killed and injured in celebrating the
Fourth of July than all the casualties
in the American and British armies
during the seven years conflict. 1t Is
time we were calling a halt.

COLORED MAN MUTILALED.

Residents OF Galthersburg, Md, and
vicinity are aroused over what is de-
scribed as a dastardly outrage com
mitted on Henry Stewart, a young col
ored man Of that place, by two soldiers
Sunday night.
Stewart, in company with two colored
girls, was walking along one of the
roads leading to Gaithersburg when the
soldiers accosted him and addressed in
sulting remarks to the girls. Wherl he
resented it they seized and held him
and then mutilated him in frightful
manner, afterward rubbing dirt into the
wounds.
The girls fed and gave the alarm,
Stewart was later removed to his home,
where he now lies in precarious con
dition,
States Attorney Waters was advised
OF the facts and at once began an in
vestigation. He learned, it is said
that the soldiers belong to an organiza
ton en- route from Fort Myer to Gettys
burg; which was camping near Gath
ersburg for the night.
When the authorities went after then
it was found the troops had broken
camp and proceeded IN their way.
States Attorney Waters is determined

shall be sapprehended and pun snet

Anairs at Beverly.

Beverly, Mass, July THE summer
capital today is gradually recovering its
equilibrium after having had in its
midst for two hours and half yester-
day not only the president OF the United
States, but the author of My Policies. "
Just what happened is known to only
two men and they won't tell. Certain
w there was no complete endorsement
of the Taft administration, or the fact
would have been quickly made public
bv the Taft forces. 1t was 2 social call,
the participants stated.
One thing, however, is practically
certain. There was an agreement on the
Hughes direct primary in New York.
That they agreed on Pinchot or Balm
ger or the way Roosevelt policies
have been treated since March 4, 1909
is uncertain, In view of the stand
which Roosevelt has taken on conser-
walton, it is doubtful whether that deli
cate subject was preached.
There will probably be no further
meeting between the two in the neal
future. This was stated directly by
Roosevelt when he left. There was a
rumor that the Longsworth home on
the North shore would shelter the
colonel for a period, in order to per.
nit OF several conferences with the
President, but this was emphatically de-
MED. Mr.. Roosevelt stated that today
he would visit Supreme Court Justice
Moody at Boston sanitarium, and
then return to New York.

SPAIN AND THE VATICAN.

The Roman Catholic agitation
against the measure relating to relig-
ious congregations and the liberation
of non Catholics has caused the Span
ish government to issue an unusual
warning TO the Vatican and the papal
nuncio at Madrid
In statement issued to the news
papers the government assures Its
opponents that it will not be influenced
by their demonstrations beyond taking
steps to keep them in check. 1t re-
marks upon the attitude maintained
by ex-Premier Mauer and conserva-
tives generally toward the governments
policy.
1t adds that the danger, however,
lies in the possibility that, seeing the
practical uselessness of the campaign,
its authors, who, in the governments
view are the curla and the papal
nuncio, may be tempted to resort to
other measures which would compel
the government to abandon the toler-
ant attitude it has adopted.
The statement adds that the at
tacks of foreign newspapers, some OF
which are even directed against the
kings person, and the yelled threats
of prelates create this danger.
Dispatches from all parts of the
country show increasing vehemence
in the clerical and anti-clerical cam
paigns. The republicans and social
lists have organized a demonstration
