What seemed to many three veal
ago an impossible thing is alread
practically an accomplished fact. Tn
Sane Fourth idea has not only sprea
rapidly, but wherever adopted, the i'm
proved conditions from every stand
point have abundantly demonstrate
its wisdom. Other amusements thai
dangerous explosives have beel
found for young and old, and tn
only real sufferers are fireworks max
ers, the largest of which has recent!
gone into bankruptcy. Night fire
works will continue to be used, but
under the direction of police or fire
dep; ctuent in a way to render tht
display safe to spectors and to min
imize the danger to those in charge
The indications are from all parts OF
fthe country that the day this year
: will be made the occasion for beau
tiful and instructive historical parades
and that the new custom now so sue
cessfully inaugurated will become
permanent. One stirring historical
float will do more to nurture rea
patriotism than a carload of cannon
crackers-H. H. Windsor in the July.
