his regiment out for a practice march

gospel. Some cities have gone so far as 10 pro-
hibt absolutely the sale of frecrackers ana nre
works, while others merely limit nrecrackers u
length of three inches with view 10 eliminating
the deadly cannon cracker. All the more
progressive municipalities have put ban on the
toy pistols and the miniature torpedoes which
in years gone by have probably caused more
deaths than any other similar destructive agent
particularly among the younger children IN our
up-to-date cities it has been necessary tor some
years past for a retail merchant to OBTAIN
license or police permit to store and sell nre-
works and thus 1t has been simple matter for
the authorities to put snuffer on the business
by refusing to issue such permits.
The accepted plan of providing safe and sane
celebration as a substitute for the old-time noisy
freeforal jollification is to place the matter in
the hands Of committee of prominent citizens
which raises by subscription a fund of several
hundred or several thousand dollars to defray
the expenses of the common celebration, just as
money is raised for street fair. The popular
idea is to centralze the new-fangled Fourth Of
July celebration. In places this is done
literally by holding all the events OF the day at
some centrally-located rendezvous such as pub
lie square, a fair ground or park In other
instances there are three four, maybe half
a Dozen "centers" Of celebration located in
many different sections Of the city and designed
to give the residents Of each district lively
Fourth without necessitating a journey far from
home.
Two main aims are constantly kept in mind by
wide-awake committeeman who plan a Fourth Of
July frolic in accordance with the safe and sane
ideals of the twentieth century. One of these
ambitions is to have something doing every
minute of the day so that critic can say that
things less lively in the old town than in the
days when every citizen could make his own
celebration in his own front yard The other pur-
pose is to arrange features that will enlist the
cooperation of the greatest possible number of
children so that the little folks will not feel that
they are being cheated out Of their Fourth of
July fun and made to merely serve as spectators
for the performances Of the grownups.
This latter consideration explains why 1t is that
the average safe and sane Fourth includes one
or more open-air plays or spectacles or drills in
which hundreds Of school children and even kin
dergartners take part appropriately dressed in
red, white and blue, and carrying flags or other
suitable emblems of the occasion. These open
air fetes are not wholly restricted to the young
er members of the community, though Pageantry
has been growing rapidly in popular favor in this
country of recent years-following it's vogue in
England and elsewhere abroad-and of course
the Fourth Of July makes an ideal occasion for
such portrayal, particularly If 1t deals with q
historical subject.
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1911-06-29

cede that the plan took shape spontaneously and
simultaneously in several different localities,
such communities Cleveland and Washington,
D. c., being among the first of the larger cities
to put the plan in practice comprehensive
scale, embracing the whole Jurisdiction Of the
city involved.
The incentative for this safe and sane move
ment was found, of course, in the appalling loss
of life attendant upon celebrations of the Fourth
in the old-fashioned way. Perhaps there were
just many accidents proportionately in con-
nection with Independence Day celebrations in
the days of our grandfathers as there were just
prior to this crusade but then again there may
not have been, for the toy pistol makers and
trecracker manufacturers were busy in later
years devsing Improvements" in the nosemak-
Ing line that seemed to prove fruitful of mishaps
when in the hands of irresponsible youngsters
Or even it, as opponents of the safe and sane
Fourth have claimed the proportion of acci-
dents did not show increase the growth in the
population of the country served to roll up
total so much more appalling in sheer force of
figures that good many people were aroused on
the subject. Then too, the perfection of present.
Cay methods Of newsgathering has made it pos
s1ble for the newspapers to give a complete
chronicle of the havoc of the old-fashioned
Fourth on the morning following the day we
celebrate, and this has served to bring home the
matter to many people who never suffered from
family and circle Of friends.
When the statistics began to show, a few years
back, that the American people were expressing
their patriotism the Fourth in manner that
each year cost the lives of several dozen persons
and injured, more or less seriously several thou
sand others, there was a countrywide protest
that swelled in volume. Not, of course without
some opposition, the idea has spread and its ex-
tent may be surmised from the statement that
the recent failure Of one of the largest fireworks
manufacturers in the country was said to be due
solely to this new order of things whereas other
importers and manufacturers Of frecrackers and
fireworks have loudly lamepted that their bus
ness will be ruined if the thing goes on.
The safe and sane Fourth" is so new that
there are few hard and fast rules regarding It,
Indeed, conception Of the idea, differing in
more or less degree, is encountered in every diff
ferent city which has adopted the plan. The
basic principle Is not however, as some people
suppose, the abolition Of all noise and fireworks
on the Fourth. On the contrary, the advocates
Of the safe and sane program favor waving flags
and booming guns and sputtertng sky rockets
and all the other frills dear to the memories of
our childhood, but they take the stand that these
things should be managed-and particularly the
fireworks set of"-by experienced hands, in
stead of by children and grown-ups who have

tageous to have the rockets and pinwheels and
all the other spark throwers set off by profes-

play, instead Of leaving it to local talent that
doesn't get much practice at this sort of thing
except on the Fourth and at election time. and
in consequence is apt to pay the price of blistered
hands and singed hair if nothing worse.
And speaking Of fireworks brings to mind the
fact that daylight fireworks play prominent part
in most of these new safe and sane celebrations
of the big summer holiday. Of course, daylight
fireworks no invention and they have
been used to some extent on the Fourth of July
for many years past Only they have been hailed as
one of the vehicles of celebration specially adapt

facturers have been encouraged by this new de-
mand to improve their offerings and give greater

LATIoN TO STOP FRAUDS.
Urges Action to Prevent Deluslon OF
Sick Be Taken by Amendment
of Food Law.

washington.-Death dealing drugs
Of the cure-all variety and their max
ers are severely condemned by Pres
ident Taft
In a message TO congress the presf
dent scathingly arraigned the manu-
facturers of what he denounced as
dangerous drug frauds" and urged
congress to amend at this session the
pure food and drug law to strengthen
that act in vital points of weakness
recently pointed out by decisions OF
the United States Supreme court
President Taft believes that unless
the law is amended forthwith the
country will again be flooded by "in'
furious nostrums" and "cure-alls'
which were common before the pure
food law first was enacted.
The message was transmitted to
both the senate and the house, and 1t
was said that the latter body probably
would take up the matter at an early
date. Representative Sheriey OF Ken
lucky already has introduced a bill
bearing on the subject
The president, in his message. calls
attention to the provisions OF the pure
food and drugs act of June 30. 1906,
designed to prevent the manufacture
and shipment of worthless nostrums
labeled with misstatements Of fact as
to their physiological action-misstate-
ments false and misleading even in
the knowledge of those who make
them" and asserts that the law was
received with general satisfaction and
has been vigorously enforced" more
than 1000 cases having been pre-
pared for criminal prosecution under
its terms. He continues:
"The Supreme court has held in a
recent decision that the act does not
cover the knowingly false labelling of
nostrums as to curati-e effect or
physiological action, and that inquiry
under this salutary statute does not
by it's terms extend in any case to the
ineff1cicacy of medicine 70 work the
cures claimed for them on the labels.
fraudulent Misrepresentation Of
the curative value Of nostrums not
only operate to delude purchasers. but
are a distinct menace to the public
health. There are none so credulous
as sufferers from disease. The need
is urgent for legislation which will
prevent the raising of false hopes Of
speedy cures Of serious ailments by
misstatements of fact as to worthless
mixtures on which the sick will rely
while their diseases progress un-

TRADE IMPROVES
In and About Agricultural centers
Harvest Reports Tend to Excite
Business.

New York.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s Week
ly Review of Trade said:
The actual volume Of business con-
tinues below producing capacity and
such improvement as is in evidence is
slow, yet the trend is unquestionably
for the better, and the movement
promises to quicken as the crops ap-
proach nearer to harvest 1t is no
ticeable that the most optimistic trade
reports come from those centers close
to the main agricultural sections.
Metals improve.
Further improvement appears in
iron and steel at time when quiet
ness usually prevails and the book
ing of the leading producers are stead
lily increasing. The betterment in
trade has extended to pig iron also,
which as heretofore made a poor
showing. Considerable animation is
noted in fabricated and structural
steel, with large purchases in prospect,
while additional orders for about 2O,-
900 tons of rails have been placed

small. Further readjustment Of prices
includes a cut of 81 per ton on wire
products.
Dry Goods Prices Hold Firm.
The trend of business in dry goods
is again toward supplying only i'm
mediate needs, the lack Of anticipa-
tory buying by jobbers tending to in
crease the volume of curtailment by
mills. Prices are firm, and on fine
count bleached cottons advances have
been named on small lines. At west
ern centers the wool market Is more
quiet, but still considerable business
negotiated in quiet way. Further
slight improvement is noted in foot
wear, though most wholesalers will
operate conservatively. Manufactur-
ers are confronted with higher leath-
er market, but as yet no readjustment
of prices on higher basis is noted.
There is regular demand for shoe
feathers to meet current requirements,
but for most descriptions Of sole and
upper present trading is not active
enough, although the markets have
shown a gradual improvement for
some time past. The domestic hide
markets continue in a strong position,
out at the higher quotations, tanners
are holding off, with the result that
trading in both packer and country
hides has been of much smaller vol
ume than for several weeks past.

The taking of the vote on the bill

When the opponents Of the measure

Cotton goods buying for the future
