FOR A SANE FoURTH.Y

I is a good thing that the agitation for a
A. so-caed "safe and sane" Fourth of July
is being considered at this early date and it is
likely that Wilmington will join in the effort
for reform. The question should be thoroughly
considered, for it is believed that most other
cities of the country will take effective means
to prevent the slaughter and manning OF people
during the Independence Day celebrations.
Chief of Police Black has already given the
matter considerable attention and has been re-
ceiving data from many other places. In this
city the sale of fire crackers is permitted, their
size only being restricted, and City Council to
get in line with other cities would have to pass
new ordinances. Doubtless in a short time the
Chief of Police and the Commissioners will
agree upon what legislation by Council is needed
if any, but the important thing is that they
should act promptly so that dealers in fireworks
and explosives will know Just what is to be
done
One thing certain is that the movement to
prevent the use of dangerous fire crackers has
of late received more impetus than ever before,
and it will only be a question of a short time
at most before every city of importance in the
country will enforce rigid rules that will stop the
useless injury to those who think that the only
way in which they can show their love of ooun-
try is by making a tremendous noise and en-
dangering life and property, at the same time
causing great annoyance.

SPECIAL PRIVILEGE

II HOSE who have objected to municipal
\ ownership of public utilities and who have
declared that the municipality is incompetent to
manage such utilities should realize that special
privilege through franchises is on trial.
The graft disclosures in San Francisco led TO
special privilege, 10 the corrupt alliance between
the public service corporations and political
machines. And the same may be said of the
Pittsburg revelations.
Whenever q City Councilman or city officer
falls, yields to bribery, there is a special prvi-
lege. franchise lurking in the background.
Franchise grabbers seek to secure their prize,
special privilege by fair means or by foul
The alliance between political machines and
franchise holders in the affairs of all large cities
Is notorious. In fact in some Of them muni-
kcipal campaign is often merely conflict be-
Tween contending syndicates of capitalists using
political parties as knights on a chess board to
see which can win the game of greater privilege
Recognition of this corrupt alliance has kept
alive the agitation for municipal ownership in
the West, has extended sentiment for such
ownership to the East 1t may be a long time
before we have municipal ownership of public
utilities, but it will not be long before we have

An agitation has started in New York State
for a state income tax to take the place of the
personal l-property taxes. One of the objections
urged to permitting the Federal government to
impose an income tax is that such a tax would
be interfering with the rights OF the state. And
when it is suggested that the states levy an
income tax we shall hear of a string of object
ions to that. AS a matter of fact there is
objection TO any kind of an income tax on the
part of those who would have to pay it., If
New York should levy an income tax it should
be graduated and include small incomes.

FERRIs SCHOOL DISCIPLINE.

AT EARLY everybody was shocked by the
IN stories of ill-treatment OF inmates OF the
Ferris Industrial School, which stories finally
found publicity formally in the charges made
bv former Congressman l.. Irving Handy. We
had been accustomed to believe that such forms
of punishment as have been inflicted at the
school had long since passed away or were I'M
necessary. The testimony of some of the boys
read like pages from tales of treatment practiced
against slaves in the old days in the South. On
the other hand. the stories of the misconduct of
some of the boys-and some of the facts IN
regard to this were not printed--are very shock
ing and illustrate depth of incorrigibility hard
TO believe Most educators have taken the
advanced stand that severe physical punishment
is not necessary TO reform boys, to make better
men out of them, but it is questionable whether
these theories always work in practice. The
problem, however is a most difficult one to
handle, and the trustees of the institution are
as much perplexed as any one can be.
Unfortunately for those who pressed the
charges, several of the young men gave an exhi-
bition of something worse than misconduct
when an effort was made to escape, one of the
bows shooting at his pursuers.
The trustees of the school rendered deciS-
ion sustaining their management of the institu-
ton The decision of the trustees, of course
will not change opinions that people hold as to
whether severe physical punishment or more
humane methods best tend to reform youths.
We certainly do not approve of some methods of
physical punishment as revealed by the testi-
inony--for instance the use Of fence rail
weapon. Nor could we reconcile ourselves 70
any code that would deprive OF drinking water
boys committed to the institution. If corporal
punishment is to be retained as part of the dis
cipline at the Ferris School, then the castgation
should be inflicted in prescribed manner, after
investigation and by a certain designated
officer or officers. and not unfortunately by
any person in authority who might be aroused
because of some unimportant infraction by a
boy who in the FIRST place had been committed
to the school for some graver ofense

the writer recently that neither is
Queen Alexandra very fond Of per
fun es, although she remains faithful
t" he "Ess Bouquet" which has
been in use by the royal family of
England since 1922. This perfume is
composed of amber mixed with the
of. roses, v~iolets, jasmine,
orange flowers and lavender.
On the other hand the Czarina is
~passionately fond Of perfume. Her
apartments in the royal palace are
daily sprayed with essences Of lilac,
jasmine, and white violet. Her Maj
esty's favorite essence is violet, and
for several weeks In the early spring
hundreds OF women and girls may be
seen at Grasse gathering the bios
SONS from which the Czarina's per-
fume is made. The finished product
Is tested, bottle by bottle, at the St.
Petersburg Academy Of Chemistry
before being sent to the imperial
store.
The Queen Mother OF Spain uses as
perfume a d'espagne, manufactured
in Madrid, and also obtains a per-
fume for her toilet from Paris. It's
composition is a secret which the
perfumer only half ~discloses. 1T is
