The Dangerous Firecracker.

1t will be remembered that notwith-
standing pandemonium reigned a
year ago at the last celebration
of tie Fourth oi July in this city
when it was thought that some of our
smaller merchants had innocently
overloaded with fire works, when
their use had been forbidden by the
city cornell backed by popular senti-
ment, and the restriction was with
drawn, this seems to be q promise
of repetition of that experience.
1t was amply demonstrated. on
that occasion. that removal of legal
restraint. at times makes conditions
far worse than might have result had
there been no check imposed, and
children then lighted boom crackers
in crowds of people and ignorant
adults fired roman candles across the
street, and the burning balls were
projected on the house-tops and in
masses OF shavings on the light-pole
yard, corner Third and Main streets.
Some of our best citizens kept guard
all night to prevent incipient conha-
grations. 1t was then decided and
promised that the sane fourth"
would thereafter prevail

not the slightest obligation for toll

be known. The only possible recon-

GREAT WOMEN MAY RIVAL GREAT
MEN.-Dr. Anna Shaw, the eminent
advocate of women'S universal enfran-
chisement, asks the salient queS-
ton Was Abraham Lincoln or SUI
san b. Anthony the Greater Charac-
ter in American History" The sub
ject is one that arose during Il Lincoln
day lecture by her, vhenit was assert
ed that the three greatest persons in
the annals of American history were
George Washington, Abraham Lin
coin and Susan B. Anthony. The
greatest, she declared. was Susan Ii.
Anthony. This is proba oly true, for
it must be admitted, while Lincoln
and Washington had the support Of
powerful nation and practically
unlimited resources, Susan Is. An
thony had to fight for a broader
principle of Liberty, not only single
handed, but with even the prejudice
of her sex against her. This is true,
but hardly answers the question.
Earthly fame is always measured by
attainment of results, and when this
is used we may have to patiently
await the results of seeds sown anC
the growth and fruitage therefrom
before according a comparative meaC
of praise for the possibly highest
greatest and final honor for earthly
achievements. 1t certainly looks,
however, as the temple of fame may

LIBRARY NOTES

Patrons of the library appreciate the
convenience of improved telephone
service during the past few days since
new phone was installed in the
reading room by Manager Brown.
The case of IS books which was
received from the State Travelling Ii
brary at Olympia three months ago
was returned the letter part of last
week and another ordered in its place.
This is expected to arrive in a few
days and will probably contain some
thing interesting in the line of fiction,
scientific and Juvenile books.
Those interested in the variety of
literature which is available for readers
of the city are requested to refer to
the classified catalogue of the books
in the public library which will be
run serially in this paper. 1t is sug-
gested that the lists be cut out and
preserved for reference. The object
of the trustees in having this catalogue
published is to let the public know
exactly what is on the library shelves
and to prevent duplicates of the books
from being donated.
Most of the March magazines are
in.
q Absolute quiet now reigns in the
reading room as a result of the new
ruling, forbidding conversation.

DIR. JOHN II. HAYNES MILLIONAIRE TELLS WHY HE HAS
BEEN IN THE FIGHT FOR DIRECT LEGISLATION IN CALI


"As an officer and director in
several powerful corporations?"
'Emphatically, yes. Honest
corporations conducting their
affairs along honest, legitimate
lines have nothing to lose and
everything to gain by the estab-
lishment of democratic govern
ment.
Mark you, I use the term
democratic in its broadcast sense,
not specifically, but generally, not
applying to party, but to form
of government.
81 believe the way out of the
slough of corruption into which
this country has drifted is through
direct legislation. For direct leg
islation aims directly toward de-
mocracy.
"And mark this: The creamy
days of the public utility corpora
ton have passed. 1t will not be
long before men of brains and
ability in these corporations, men
of the type of Patrick Calhoun
will be working for the state, on
salary. The day that marks that
change will mark the end of
wasteful methods of business, JUS
tice for the man who works, the
end of the appalling sacrifice of
human life for dividends"
