The Glorious Fourth.

The Fourth OF July marks the ami
versary of the nations independence
and Americans will never cease to OBJ
serve that historic event. But in course
of time the manner of celebration
probably will and ought to be changed.
1t is already changing in parts Of the
country ard as public sentiment in
favor of a safe and sane" Fourth
spreads it will change in other parts
and finally we will come TO observe the
great day with equal patriotism, but
less tumult.
It is largely commercial energy and
ingenuity that keeps alive the noisy,
dangerous Fourth, anyway. The manu-
facturer and salesman of explosive
fireworks naturally are going to stay
in business as long as they can do so
proftably. but in time, when the coun-
try actually awakes to the fearful toll
1t is annually paying in human life and
limb to this boisterous nonsense and
prodigal waste, the demonstrative
Fourth will have to give way to the
sober, thoughtful celebration.
1t Is a mistaken idea to suppose
that hideous noise alone expresses
patriotism. We can love our flag and
revere the deeds of our forefathers
much better If we go about it more
orderly, and that is all the Fourth is
for. OF course there need be no COM
plete abandonment of noisy jubilation
nor of reasonable display of harmless
fireworks, but it is simply essential
from every standpoint of reason and
sanity that this unlicensed pursuit we
have for so long INDUCED be checked.
1t has come to the point where not only
the Fourth, but the Second, and Third
and often the Fifth, are made days of
bedlam, and those people who prefer
saner forms of patriotic expression
simply have to endure the other
whether they want to or not.
1t is gratifying to see the accumulat-
ing signs of the advent of rational
celebration of the day.

ing to Americans to have this new esti.
mate of the Nebraskan, who, himself
admits that he has talked considerably
and likes it, but it will scarcely be &C
cepted as the correct estimate at home
No one need deny that Mr.. Bryan
is a thoughtful man to decide that
London, if this is its impression, has
come a long way from getting an &C
curate measure of the man. It only
goes to show that the Britishers took
snap judgment of Mr.. Bryan, that they
based their conclusions upon merely
what they saw and heard of him dur
ing his recent visit to the British Isles
Probably IL he did not talk great deal
it was because there was little occa.
sion for it, He went to Edinburgh to
attend the worlds missionary confer
ence, came in contact with no political
subjects, found himself enveloped with
the atmosphere of mourning over the
death of the late king, which has
stopped all public activities, and so he
had but little to say. And in compar.
ing him with Theodore Roosevelt, who
before the kings death had been in
vited to make several addresses, the
British, who pride themselves on being
fair judges, conclude that Bryan typi.
fies the deep thinking, silent phil.
osopher of American politics.
Our British cousins seem to have
forgot the past, the three national
campaigns with Mr.. Bryan as the
losing party's presidential candidate
going up and down the land, talking
necessarily, but not deeply, in every
state and thousands of cities, towns
and hamlets, and the intervening years
when his eloquence abated not. Mr.
Bryan, in fact, has never been sur.

any forensic performer, and as to his
profundity let the fact that all his
paramount political predictions and
issues have come to naught speak fol
