Sane Fourth in Chicago
LITTLE GIRLS ILLNESS LEADS TO NEW WAYS OF
GIVING THE DAY MEANING.
BY c. s. Raymond, Of the Chicago Tribune.
BY c. s. Raymond, Of The Chicago Tribune.

Years ago a little girl invalid in Chi
cago had her feeble grasp ON life shak-
en- by the senseless blasts OF a noise
mad Fourth Of July. Her suffering
prompted the thought that in hundreds
if not thousands of homes other suf-
ferers We're enduring the pain caused
by a mad mans holiday.
The demand for sanity in the cele-
bration of Independence day had this
beginning in Chicago and by 1909 it's
result was a day free from the bar
steady drizzle Of rain aided the re-
strictive ordinances which had been
passed by the Chicago city council.
The quiet was almCs that of the Sab
bath. The Fourth of July had been
made a noiseless day but 1t also had
been made an empty one
Heretofore noise had taken the place
of proper celebration. but it in it's
crudeness had served to mark the day.
1t was recognition. however thought
less were the rowdies whose dynamite
canes and high explosives gave it its
distinctive character.
With the noise eliminated there was
a void. The day went without cele-
bration and there were many men who
felt that American patriotism was
challenged by the awkward silence Of
that Fourth. From this grew a pur-
pose to give the day, now debrutalized,
a proper meaning.
1t was proposed to a half dozen OF
the large and influential organizations
of the city that they undertake to fill
the void. 1t was proposed that the day
be made to mean something to the cos
mopolitan elements of such a city as
Chicago. 1t was suggested that the
foreign born citizens would be willing
to contribute to an expression Of sem
timent which would be as truly
patriotic as the noise had been truly
barbaric.
These proposals ook shape when
representatives OF tho different asso-
Citations met with members OF the Sane
Fourth association and undertook to
give the celebration of 1910 a worthy
character. The aid of various ma
tionalities in the city was enlisted and
a pageant was planned.
1t was necessary to limit the ex-
renses to a moderate sum. the larger
part of the fund available being re-
quired for the United States army
tournament which had been secured
as a part Of the Chicago celebration.
A. promise OF this tournament had been
made to the Chicago Commercial as
ISOLATION and when the plans for a
genuine celebration OF the Fourth were

put on foot 1t was arranged to secure
the army exhibition as a part Of it
With a modest expenditure the COM
mfttee in charge of the pageant wa
successful in presenting q remarkable
Fourth Of July demonstration, enlist
ing, as it did, the adopted o OF the
country.
Inc citizens interested in making the
celebration worthy of the day we're ne
longer concerned with eliminating oh,
~jectionable features. They had beek
suppressed effectively. 1t was neces@
sary merely to find a substitute. The
plans of 1910 served to show that the
pageant idea could be retained in sue
ceedinl~ years, but that this should be
reinforced by a number Of sectiona,
celebrations which would bring neigh
borhoods and communities together in
parks for observance Of the day.
1t is planned for this year to add
such features to the program. Last
year the central attraction. after the
parade of nationalities, was the army
tournament in the downtown district
This year 1t is hoped that the parade
Will be of much larger significance,
Many nationalities have been Interested
and each has ssumed Responsibilities
for it's own representation by floats and
marching bodies OF uniformed men. II
was the original idea that each nation
should illustrate, SO far as it could,
JUS contrlputlon to the United States,
and this, it was thought, would pro-
duce a healthy rivalry, to the benefit
of the celebration.
This hope vas realized in part last
year and promises more for this year
There being no central association
aside from the parade Of nations, the
sectional celebrations are expected to
be OF value in teaching the true mean
ing of the day.
Originally it was planned to obtain
a man whose worth and Importance
would give added value to his words
for a notable Fourth Of July speech. to
be made, if possible, in a great out-of-
door assembly place where by the
use of sounding boards he might make
himself heard by thousands. 1t was
the intention to have as a part of the
celebration a speech which would con-
tain the best thought of a notable
man on some subject Of great interest
to the American people.
II succeeding celebrations prove the
lasting value OF the Chicago method,
this original plan may find a part in
future programs. Chicago is endeavor-
Ing. hanks to the efforts Of men in.
terested in the Sane Fourth association.

dependence day a true recognition.

HE RELATED THE HARDSHIPS

The following clipping from the Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch gives an ,dea of the perfect mis- understanding the people of the East have of Alaska and things Alaskan. The article appeared in the issue of February 26, and is here quoted intact:
 "To live Tn frozen Alaska with the thermometer registering from 40 to 60 degrees below zero, requires courage of a high order. Yet to pan out" some nearly half mil lion of good quality and dust, isn't so dusty. is it? Duncan Campbell Mich ie, the subject of this sketch, is Scot" whom the "Colonef' met on the Western trip across the At lantic, and to hear Duncan relate the hardships of the frozen North was to recall the descriptions of scenes in that latitude by Rex Beach, in his novels, The Silver Horde" and the Barrier MT. Michie goes up to the famous gold Eldorado in the spring, and with his partners commences to pan out from their claim the quartz dust,
 to return in the fall to Fairbanks or Spokane. To hear this canny Scot" talk of Alaska, and its min eral wealth, makes one feel like i'm proving Horace Greeley's famous ad'
