A SANE FOURTH OF JULY

Statistics prove that far more
people have been killed and in
jured in celebrating the birthday
Of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence than were sacrificed in the
war to establish the principles set
forth in that immortal document.
By oyer-zealous and instructed
enthusiasm III celebrating the
Fourth of July, Americans have
made the Fifth of July day OF
mourning in thousands Of homes
all over the United States. The
appalling frequency of accidents
from the use of toy pistols, fire
crackers, bombs, fireworks, revol-
vers, pistols and cannon has at
last begun to rouse the nation to
the folly of the popular method
of observing the holiday. If the
young people look forward to it
with joyful anticipations, their
parents await it with fear and
dread. Instead of a day of rest
and pleasure, it has become tc
many day of nerve-wrecking
torture.
The prevalent conception that
the only way to celebrate ihe
Fourth of July is by making al
the noise possible, is silly and
wrongful. 1t should be a day Of
pleasure to both young and old

from sWarming in and around
houses, and from carrying germs
of sickness from one person to an
other. In the first place, they
should not buy candy, fruit or
other food which is left in front
of stores or anywhere else where
flies may feed and walk on it.
War to the death should be de-
clared upon the little pest. His
presence is a disgrace. His touch
may be deadly. Either man must
kill the fly or the fly will kill the
man. If there is no dirt and filth
there will be no flies.
Keep the flies away from the
milk.
Don't allow flies in your house
Don't permit them near your
food, especially milk.
Don't buy foodstuffs where flies
are tolerated.
Don't allow your fruits and con
fections to be exposed to the

ana there are plenty of ways in
winch people can show their pat
riotlsm without risking their own
hVeSandendangering the lives and
property OF others by experiment
ing with the noise producing
qualities Of explosives.
1t Is well for people to gather
IN parks and groves and listen to
marital music and patriotic adj
dresses and songs, to explain to
their children what the holiday
commentaries and to join IN
wholesome sports and amuse-
ments, but the time has come
when they should promulgate a
new declaration of independence
against the abuses which have
crept into the celebrations of the
day. The true guage Of patriot
ism IS not the amount of powder
that boy burns, nor the amount
OF liquor a man consumes in honor
OF the birthday Of the nation.

stitutional provision authorizing the
counties to pledge their credit for
construction of permanent roads.
'Third-Providing for the labor of
~penitentiary convicts upon the public
roads.
"Fourth-Providing for the labor
nf county and city convicts upon the
public roads.
"Fifth-Providing for state aid for
permanent road construction"
Apparently the only differences of
opinion within the committee arose
over the proposition of state aid.
Representatives of the grange made
known their opposition to the appro-
priation of state money for road pur-
poses while the Multnomah county
men urged the state aid policy.
1t is much the same division that
ensued while the subject of good
roads was under consideration by the
last legislature. At that time the
Multnomah delegation stood stead
tasty by the state aid plan and sought
TO show the unselfishness of their
course by citing that while Multno-
nah county itself would get little if
anything at all from the state fund
Multnomah county would be requir-
ed to provide one third of all the
money in the state aid fund. But
the grange element in general mani
tested a decided suspicion with ref
erence to state aid.
From a local standpoint the county
bonding provision seems to be of CHIEF
interest. With the county bonding
law in force Umatilla county will be
able to secure good roads if the peo-
pie want them The question of state
aid is not of vital Importance here,
for under a state aid law such as was
proposed at the last session Umatilla
county could neither gain nor lose
very much.
From a general standpoint the chief
need in Oregon at THE time is for the
people to get together on some fairly
equitable plan for permanent road
building. Good roads are needed and
the only way to get them is to con
struct them.

Commissioner Fred bennett Of the

also as a detective, matrimonial agent

who secured farms in the various Sec
