EXPENSIVE PATRIOTISM.
Sacrifice of Life and Property
Should Be Suppressed.

Independence day is coming; the
day of powder, poisoning and lock.
Jaw; the day of hospitals, ambulances.
mutilation, fire and death.
| The idea of the safe and sane cele-
bration of July 4th is becoming more
popular as the people generally fully
appreciate the awful life and proper
ty loss that is entailed each year by
the careless handling and sale of the
deadly firecracker. When the absolute
prohibition of the use and sale of this
instrument Of suffering and death, to
say nothing of the property destroyed
each year valued at hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. is accomplished in
cur State and Nation. grateful pop
ulace will have cause to give thanks,
and meanwhile they can only hope
and pray that the annual sacrifice
can be kept down to the minimum.
In the mad scramble for the dollar
the average American has gotten away
from the educational significance Of
Independence Day, and the more sens
ational and hazardous the amusement,
the louder are the plaudits of certain
classes of the people. It is perhaps
too much to expect complete return
to sanity in year or two, but the
business, man and patriotic citizen
in all the larger centers of population
are taking more urgent steps each
year to prevent this annual loss of
life and property sacrificed in the
name of patriotic demonstration.
Many of the cities and villages have
taken steps looking toward the COM
plete prohibition of the sale and use
of fireworks of any kind, and the
State Fire Marshal Department of
Minnesota asks the cooperation of
all municipal authorities and patriotic
citizens of the State to the end that
the expensive nuisance may be abated.
A striking illustration of what con.
certed effort along this line will ac-
compIish is shown by the experience
Of Washington. D. c. In the year
1908 fireworks were sold in tEat city

people, young and old, were placed in

1909 the sale and use was prohibited.

Jack Carlin, in charge Of the wireless
station at Ships Bottom. was suspected of
being in league with gang Of smugglers
who were so up-to-date as to use aero
planes to convey their illicit importations
from vessels in the offing to land, a Aew
form of smuggling that the government
seemed powerless to combat successfully.
Among the rugged, honest toilers Of the
station this suspicion was intolerable, and
poor Carlin was nomentarily facing dis
graceful dismissal unless he could prove
his. innocence.
Just after having a heated colloauy on
the subject with Keeper Casco, sure
enough. an airship was observed rushing
shoreward, subsequent to the passage Of
lot of mysterious wireless messages
from the sea. hard storm happened to
be on just then and the smuggler was
dashed on a lonely spot far from shore.
This was Carlin's chance, and he made
the most Of 1t. OF course he had to ac-
quit himself and he did it. It's a thrilling
tale.
