CLUB NOTES

The club women of the United States
nave frequently been in the foremost
ranks OF those who work 10 secure civic
reforms and In this respect the club wo-
men OF Utah are not behind their sis
ters IN other cities. In the national ag!-
iation for safe and sane Fourth OF July
the women : clubs are taking an active
interest, ana the civic committee Of the
Utah Federation through its chairman
Mrs. Ledyard NJ. Bailey and IT'S sub
chairman, Miss Ethel Paul. have inter
ested ali members with the result that
there was filed with the city recorder
IMeSday the following stCons document:
To the Honorable President and Mem
hers Of the City Council of Salt Lake
city, Utah:
'Genuemcn-We, the undersigned, rep
resentlng a thousand women from the
various clubs and organizations of salt
lake CitN. hereby respectfully address
your honorable body In the interest OF
a safe and sane Fourth of July cclebra-
tion,' and We respectfully petition that
the ordinance heretofore introduced i'm
your honorable body he speedily passed,

not he jeoDardizcd and sacrificed 10 tho
false idea that patriotism can only be
exhibited by the creating OF much noise
and Uproar.
we nnd. after careful investigation OF
the subject, that every civilized nation
OF The world, with the single exception OF
the United states. has prohibited the
harbarous practice. Between the years
1903 and 1907, for five national BIRTHDAYS
1853 persons were killed. II go Injured
IS suffered total and ESQ partial blind
ness. 3US persons lost arms, legs or hands
and 66, lost one or more fingers. The
blame Tor much or the annual massacre
rests not upon the careless small boy.
but upon the careless big parent who
places in his hand the instrument of de-
Slruction.
lit is a reflection scarcely calculated
10 sratify our national pride that the
United States is the only civilized coun-
try which observes the greatest OF It's
fcte days in such ar unciviilZed fashion.
Our sister republics, France and Switzer-
land. ojoice fully as heartily as we over
their national birthdays. but they cclc-
brate them in n sane. safe. wholesome
and happy way and not In our barbarous
manner. Signed by

As all the merchants had ordered their
