The sentiment calling for a safe and
sane Fourth is not growing with the
rapidity which one could desire, but
| still there is certainly and surely a
| growth in that sentiment, and de-
crease in the number Of killed and
| wounded. We trust that today will
show very marked decrease in these
numbers as compared with former
years.
Last year there were seventytwo
cases of lockiaw, slxty-seven of which
were fatal; seven persons lost their
sight. thirty-three lost one eye, twenty
six lost legs, arms or hands and Ill
lost fingers. Blank cartridges were re-
sponsible for $50 of these accidents
and firecrackers for 1850; cannon for
PIP; firearms for 229, and powder and
fireworks for 076. Of the seventytwo
tetanus cases blank cartridges were re-
sponsible for sixty-four. The decrease
from A66 deaths in 1903 to 131 in 1910
was due to more intelligent methods OF
celebration. the most marked decrease
taking place in States where the agi-
tation for restrictive measures was
strongest.
The impulsive, uproarious celebra-
tions of the day are, 1T is to be hoped,
things of the past, for it were better
for every citizen to cherish in his own
heart. quietly and at home, the senti
mcnts appropriate to the day, than to
have celebrations at such frightful cost
of life and mangling. But the senti
ment of the day must never be lost, and
never will be lost, Everyone in his
senses. however. recognizes that in
order to give appropriate vent TO that
sentiment there is no need whatever
of killing or wounding our fellow men.
The safe and sane celebration of the
day is the first thing to enforce. We
must first get rid Of the old, barbarous
method Of observing the day, and then
it will be time TO build on new foun
dation decorous, patriotic, and altos
gether admirable form of celebration,
in which the life of every citizen will
be safe. and everyone secure.
Salt Lake City has taken advanced
ground on this question of safe and
sane Fourth. Upwards OF a year ago
the council passed an ordinance abso-
lutely forbiddipg the old style of riot
Gus demonstration, and copfning the
privilege of letting off firecrackers and
explosives to such permits as the Mayor
might grant. SO far as known, there
have been no applications for permits.
We may fairly assume, therefore, that
Salt Lake City will be reasonably clear
today of the uproar and peril involved
in the miscellaneous and wholesale fir
ing off of crackers and various forms
of explosives, The danger in this fir
ing is not alone 10 the lives and limbs
of citizens, but in the starting of fires
which might appropriately be called
incendiary fires Nevertheless, since
there will doubtless be some firing of
explosives, it will be well for the FIRE
department to be alert and prepared
for instant response to any call, This,
no doubt, it would be even without
warning; but the warning is also to
all citizens to be alert, to stop whatever
| damage may be threatened, and to give
| timely warning Of any impending

The wives Of college presidents have
issued a call for the first international
convention Of farm women, to meet in
Colorado Springs, October 18th to 10Th
inclusive, this year. IL is said to DC
the first move ever made for such q
convention; and whether the farm
women will respond numerously to the
call of the college women may be a
question; and il may be even more
doubtful il the college women could
prepare programme that would be OF
interest or benefit to the farm women.
