ton that the debate in the senate on
the amendments to the interstate com
merce act will be long drawn out and
that II will be marked by many OF the
acrimonious features of the tariff de
bate OF last spring and summer. The
alignment of senators on the measure
will not be exactly the same as that
on the customs measure, but the ma.
jority Of those who will be in opposi-
ton 10 the bill as Il was introduced
will be the senators who fought many
of the provisions Of the Payne-Aldrich
bill.
II is doubtful If there ever was In
troduced into congress a bill upon
which there were exactly so many di.
verse opinions as there are upon this
measure which the senate now has
under consideration. OF course the
measure affects largely the work OF
the members Of the interstate com
merce commission. and yet the mem.
bers OF the commission themselves are
at variance in their views as to the
efficiency OF the bill in some Of its par
ticulars. The amendments were pre-
pared in the first instance by a COM
mittee appointed by President Taft,
every one Of the members OF which
was a lawyer OF high standing. Then

 would be celebrated and that predic- tion has been realized. There is not a city, town or hamlet throughout the Union but shows in some way and to some extent more or less conspicuous that a great national event is taking place.
 In many quarters of the country, however, the conclusion has been reached that the wonted observance of the great American holiday has become intolerably dangerous aAd intolerably expensive. Too many people are killed or maimed by the careless use of fire works; too much property is burned up in the innumerable confagrations that result from the same cause; too much suffering is inflicted upon. the sick and the sensitive. Pyrotechnic displays arranged with taste and con- ducted with skill are of sufficient beau ty to merit the interest and attention of civilized people.
 The present generation does not re member that during the latter part of the eighteenth century and even dur ing the greater part of the nineteenth there were no such fireworks and ex- plosives as are used today in celebrat- ing the anniversary of independence. Our forefathers in knee brooches and l powdered hair celebrated the day chiefly by patriotic speeches and din- ners. Every club, every society and organization met around the festive board and honored the day in song and story. Parades in the larger towns were features of the celebration dur ing the early years of the republic, but the principal part of the celebration was the banquet and it's oratory. In recent years. however. there has been a great falling off in the exuberant qualities of patriotic oratory, and the day has been celebrated with mere noise. The agitation for a "safe and sane" Fourth. however. is rapidly elim- mating that method of observing the anniversary.
