Possessed Of a tidy fortune and sure Of max

Essentially q mans man, Burning Daylight

afraid to be even civil to a woman, because he

A SANE FOURTH.

Why should 1t be deemed proper and
necessary to celebrate the Fourth OF
July with methods that are dangerous
to a large army Of young people
mostly children Of irresponsible years?
That is a question many Fargo people
are asking. They believe there is no
more reason for a boisterous celebra-
ton OF the Fourth Of July than for
any other holiday. The movement to
reform the celebrations Is spreading
all over the United States. There is
some hope that the toll of death an
nually taken in the name of patriotism
may be lessened.
There should be some method Of eel
ebrating the nations natal day without
killing and manning future young pa e
triots.
OF course precedent in this, as in
most other things, is a great factor. II
will require a lot of educational work
to overcome present ideas. In some
cases it will be difficult to work through
sentiment-but municipalities can 90
much by passing ordinances that will
eliminate much of the menace to life
and property and make the celebrations
safer and saner.
