DAYS DEATH TOLL CUT
Nationwide Fatalities Only
Thirteen, Due to ''Safe and
Sane" Fourth Laws.

| Thirteen deaths from the old-fash-
! Toned celebration of the Fourth of July
was the total reported in the United
States, according to figures compiled
by the Chicago Tribune last night.
The nationwide spread of the sane
Fourth movement brought fruit in the
smallest number of celebration casual
ties ever recorded.
In nearly every city where the use of
explosives by individuals was prohibit
ed no accidents were reported. In
others, where the discharge of ex-
plosives was permitted under the limita-
tions, there was a decided falling off
in the number of dead and injured, as
compared with previous years.
The death list of thirteen compares
with twenty-eight, reported the first
night of last years celebra ton, when
the sane Fourth movement was effective
in fewer cities. The number of injured
reported is 294. as against 1.7S5 re-
ported up to the same hour last year
In 1909 there were a killed and 2,361
wounded.

two deaths.
In Chicago only one person was

traceable to fireworks. Six were burned
by powder. three by other varieties of
fire works. one by a firecracker and
three were shot. The heat killed many

to know that under Minnesota law
peonage is leealized and men are sent
to Jail to work out a debt.
The abuses of the private employ
ment agency system and the failure
of the law to properly protect de-
frauded working men are leading
many of them to believe that there
is one law for the rich in this state
and another for the poor.
The methods by which extortion is
permitted under the guise of henefi-
ciary systems; the inadequacy Of the
| law protecting the rights of laborers
| for wages due them, and a dozen
other evils are deserving of the most
| careful and considerate attention OF
the legislature. Nothing tends tc
breed anarchy so much as the failure

the laborer who is Wronged.

process an opportunity is given fol-

For several years now we have
had ''pure food" law that was

constantly there are cases of pois-

tents of articles sold as food. The
decayed vegetables, the defunct
fruit, the foul, fermented juices,
the Shiny meats and all the other
things are still used. The profits
from them are so enormous that
capitalists will take any risk to

Guide attention is called to a
scoundrel in st. Louis who is ad-
vertising a |'cure'' for the drug
habit. The free sample of the
"cu-" Sc" ,ut contains eight
gratfH' of morphine sulphate and
four grains of heroin. To quote
the Critic and Guide: "This means
that, under the present lax state

During the period Of kind feel
ing known as the Christmas holi-
days the old question of cold stor-
age fowl came up again. The New
York World purchased barrel of
supposedly good and guaranteed
chickens in the open market.
Careful laboratory examination
showed that many of them were
utterly unfit for human food.
Here are the reasons why the
concerns are willing to poison and
|swindle people:
This week the reports Of the big
packers, the allies in the meat
trust, showed that the profits were
$780, 100000 for the year. Charles
Post is a millionaire. Munyon is a
millionaire. The leaders in the
drug trust are millionaires. Those
who have been handling adulter-
ated. or rotten food will be mil
lionaires. Through this endanger-
ing Of human life, a risk these men
evidently take without a single
qualm, enormous amounts Of
money can be made. They care
nothing for the results; all they
wish is the money.
The law does little to stop them.
Gould anything be more ridiculous
than to fine Munyon $500 after all
his years Of taking and swindling,
possibly of numbering through
the patient s taking a sugar pellet
when careful attention by skill
ed physician was mandatory? Is
there anything more absurd than
the deferential, gingerly manner
in which the courts treat some
rascal who has been poisoning,
dragging, and cheating the pub
lie?
Yes, there decidedly is some
thing more absurd, and that is
the meek, submissive way in which
the people stand for it.
