1--WE consult statistics In America
because we believe they prove what q
great people we are. They are much
more useful when they show US our
defects
statistics show the terrible loss to
the children in life and limb because
of an insane and foolish observance OF
the national holiday. When We think
of the way in which the Fourth Of
July has been observed in the past
and Of the terrible consequences II
ought to make US blush that we have
not taken means to stop It. R
II am reminded Of the mother who
had ave children and said. With the
plague Of their living and the fear OF
their dying, shall go crazy. It 10

country OF all future anxiety by the
passing of an ordinance forbidding
