Ladies Aid Societies are always on
the lookout for something new. The
clever woman of one such society in

earned a considerable amount of mon-
ey the past winter with an electrical
vacuum cleaner. They bought an ex-

by housekeepers at so cents a day
less than the cost of a woman to
''clean house" AS a result it soon had

A NoiseIess Fourth,

Reform is a plant of slow growth and
nothing is more difficult to root out
than an inherited custom. For num-
Der of years past there has been a
very general movement to bring about
a saner and safer observation Of the
Fourth of July.
Results have not come rapidly in
the wake Of this effort for reform, and
some of those who have engaged in
it have at times felt discouraged.
Still progress has been made and will
we believe be still more rapid in the
years to come than it has been III
the past. 1t is sickening thought
that the celebration of the Nations
natal day is annually productive OF
greater loss of life and a greater num-
Der of cripples than most OF the
great battles of history. Worst of all
the victims are, for the most part,
children. Within the past rev years
the old-tine method of observing the
Fourth has been done away with in
many of the smaller cities and rural
communities of the country: but the
reform has been slow to gather head
way that could produce results in the
larger centers of population. In view
of this fact the recent action of May
OF Gaynor OF New York forbidding the
manufacture or sale of fireworks that
produce noise. is regarded as a long
step forward in the progress of this
much needed reform. Major Gaynor's
cdct is especially reaching from
the fact tnat about threefourths OF
the fireworks used in this country are
in New York. About
s.. 900, 0O6 are said to be invested in
these plants. Naturally the men VINO
them are "up-in-arms" against
Mayor GaYnor's order; but the indi-
suadcd or driven to modify il. There
is no reason why he should. He is
right and will be backed by an in
telligent public sentiment.
The manufacturers of fireworks have
persisted in putting upon the market
more and more dangerous products
with a studied Indifference to the
constantly growing number of acci-
dents and the rising tide of popular
1t is high time for
them TO he brought up with round
turn. and Mayor Gaynor appears TO
be just the right man to do it.
To many sick and nervous people

If celebrating the Fourth of July is
positive torture, and, unfortunately |
here does not appear to be any oppor-
unity for them to escape the affic-
ion 1t is high time that we aban-
loned these modern methods OF cele-
,ration. and return to the uueter and |
more sensible methods of the earlier |
lays Of the Republic.

Charles Newbegin of Lewiston has
the key to the cell in which John
Brown was confined at Charleston.
Mr. Newbegin was a member of the
First New Hampshire regiment and
when the entry was made into the
city his company was in the lead. Af-
ter they had gone into camp he and a
companion named Daniel Sawyer
started out to see the sights. The old
Jail where Brown was kept was the
leading object of attraction and to
that place they first went. The jailer
showed them the cell of Brown and the
Old key was in the lock. This they
tried to get but the jailer objected.
Incn Sawyer pushed the man into
the cell and locked the door after
which the two soldiers walked off with
the key. This would all seem a bit
romantic if it was not a well-known
fact that in those days the soldiers
did pretty much as they had a mind
to and high handed proceedings were
by nc means uncommon. The gallows
where Brown was executed was en-
closed with strong stOckade and Mr.
Newbeein has a piece of its wooden

HIS falls election is for thirty
senators, all members of the
lower house Of congress and
governors In nearly all Of the
states. 1t is especially important to
the pregressiyes because the control
Of congress is at stake. The follow
ing progressive candidates for United
States senator have been placed in the
field by Republican state primaries or
conventions: Beveridge of Indiana,
Townsend Of Michigan, La Toilette of
Wisconsin, Gronna Of North Dakota
and Poindexter of Washington. Clapp
Of Minnesota will probably be added
to the list. In addition, Spalding of
California, Burkett Of Nebraska and
Stokes of New Jersey may at least be
cIassed as progressive In spots. Ii the
Republicans carry New York it Is
probable that a progressive, possibly
Roosevelt himself, will go to the SEN
ate in place Of Depew.

the primaries or in convention and
have named their candidates for gov
