THE MOST IMPORTANT MEASURE

while it is conceded that the sec

doer. it is impossible at this juncture
to put proper value upon what it did,
or TO point out what was the most
important thing it did
1t seems to be quite certain that
the three most important acts were
the campaign publicity bill, the rail-
road bill, and the changing of the

A "safe" Fourth is not necessarily
noiSeleSs Fourth. But instead of
deafenfng cannon crackers and the din
of tin horns that CRATE like nails on
the sensitive nerves of invalids. let us
have trained choruses of school chill
dren, singing joyously the hymns of
the republic. Color and life and mo-
be Fourth of July, but the oId-time
professions of antiques and horri-
bles," with their outre costumes and
other burlesque features, would bet
ter give place to prarades and pea
geants of a more educative and art
lstic type. The possibilities of the
floats" depicting some historic scene
or to prominent persons influential in
our progress from stage to stage, are
only just beginning to be realized in
this country. Bright boys and girls
can get as much fun by helping their
teachers and parents work out color
schemes and musical programmes
and effective exhibits, as they can by
burning gunpowder all day long.
The new type of Fourth is only one
our country which aim to conserve its
resources human and material, to uni
fly all classes in society, to do away
with unsightly and unseemly things
and to bring to bear upon our popular
amusements the helpful influence of
art. education, and even religion itself
All hall then, to the new Fourth of
July. 1t does not mean a less happy
or less enthusiastic day, but one more
rational more educative, more in keep
ing with our advancing national ideals
and one stimulating those who par
ticipate in it to a nobier patriotism.

THE CHILD'S VISION OF HEAVEN

ed and stifed her, now il hung about
her like a mantle, and her eyes were
opened to see more beautiful things
than ever before The high hills were
pear1-tinted, the foliage was sun-fieck-
ed, and no longer was there any black
in the shadows. All about her flowers
were blooming and birds were singing,
and happy little lights and sounds were
in the air. The child forgot that she
had ever sobbed, and now she laughed
aloud. She came to a flight OF marble
stairs, and, Is she mounted them. it
seemed as though her feet were lifted
on wings At the top of the stairs,
she found herself in vast magnificent
hail. open to the universe on all four
sides where one would look for walls

ceruiian sky. The great hall was
grander and far more beautiful than
any place she had ever been in or than
any kings palace she had ever dream
ed of Though she hesitated to set foot
upon the threshold, she looked about
her with delight, and a lovely feeling
of at-homeness swept through her. as
though she had been here before. Yet,
while her heart was buoyant, she still
felt strangely alone. The hall was
thronged with people. men and women
of dazzling beauty whose faces shone
with the joy of living, and children of
all ages, who We're happily playing
their little plays disturbing no one,
each filling his own true place which
seemed to be all space. Every one was
so beautiful and happy and joyous and
free that involuntarily, the child took
her next step forward. crossed the
threshold before she knew 1T, and stood
among them. Yet, still, because they
did not seem to see her. she felt
strangely alone.
II was then that one beautiful boy
separated himself from q group and
came forward to meet her, his hands
outstretched and with a glowing smile
of welcome. He did not speak one
word. Instead, he looked deep into her
eyes, while she gazed up into his. which
were soft and dark and luminous.

So these various schemes in differ

type of Fourth of July celebration de-
serve support. They are in the line
not of repression only, but of recon-
struction. They call for creative abil-
ity. And the best of them rely for
their success not on a few imported
experts, but on the cordial and
thoughtful participation of many per-

ial gifts to the end that the whole

So it is possible for nation to

mature. 1t, also, can put away child
ish things and devote itself to the oii-
jects and pursuits more worthy of the

arrived. And the United States is

Great Britain a mere infant when

If the new plans for the Fourth con-
ten1plated only the doing away with
unnecessary noise and the prohibition
of dangerous firearms the movement
would deserve our support, for the
bandaged heads, bleeding fingers and
manned legs and arms that have hith-
erto followed the train of the tradi-
tfonal Fourth of July celebration are a
disgrace to any social order that calls
itself civilized.
But it would be difficult to arouse
general enthusiasm over a Fourth of

Do you ever cogitate? Perhaps you
may find pleasure in thinking that a
rich man cannot take his wealth to
heaven; but if you think right along
you may surprise yourself with the
fact that a man sitting down with
want feels as if he was too near hell.
1t is not the coin of the realm or the
lack of it that counts when you come
to contemplate heavenly matters. The
difference between wealth and pow
erty is shown in the fact that poverty
is a purse filled with other mems
money. Somehow it has been ordained
that the soul which is filled with love
does not ever feel that it is poor for
it standeth strong and recognizes God
as its ally. This represents the wealth
that lasts and that accompanies the
soul on its long journey. This is the
only way that it is possible to abide
in the Lord and have the Lord abide
i'll you.
The horseshoe hung over or beside
the door for luck is a common sight
in America, but the custom originated
in Germany, and when the shoe is
seen there it is to brighten the devil
away. As the fable runs, his Satanic
majesty became curious over a black
smiths shop and loitered there, see
ing the manufacture of horseshoes and
finally decided to have his own hoofs
shod- The blacksmith recognized his
majesty and put on a red hot shoe
and drove the long nails right into the
devils feet. The money he paid was
burned because il would bring bad
luck The devil had a sorry time with
his feet and when in distressful pain
tore the shoes off and threw them away
and ever after when he saw a horse
shoe he would flee from it, This is
the quaint way the superstitious Ger
mans have of beating the devil even
to this day, and this is the good luck
