From the Eastern Underwriter.
 Independence Day is coming; day Of powder-poisoning and lock-paw; day of hospitals and ambulances; day of mu- tlaton and fire and death. If there IS anything that is sane in the American people it is the growing revolt against our insane manner of celebrating the Fourth of July. It might be called "Incendiaries' Day; for on that day the fire-fend runs riot. No man having any public responsibility fails to dread it. No fire department gets through the day. and the nights on both sides of 1t, without exhaustion It Is doubtful If on some fifth of July an entire city may not com placently burn itself up in the faces or firemen and fire horses too exhausted by silly flrecracker fires the day before to cone with it. The flre-hghting apparatus of our cities and towns is so overtaxed by the numberless calls which begin on tho evening of July a that response to pos sible summons for help by neighboring towns or cities is impossible. What nre chief would dare allow even hose wagon to 20 beyond immediate recall while alarms in his own city are coming in at 1O-minute intervals? Even the large num- Der of false alarms, due to the reckless

And such a desire must be in- spired. It is the duty of every city to arrange for it's people suitable amuse- ments or exercises definitely calculated to educate them in a rational observ- arce of this historic holiday. Habits of folly can be most easily eliminated by q substitution Of something better. The things a city can do to interest it's citizens in sane and wholesome cele- bration are unlimited, and the munich paiities, which, in the past two years have taken steps in this direction, are already receviing national praise for their wisdom and their high sense of civic responsibility ttr

Folly Area Should Be Restricted

It is, perhaps, too much to expect any sudden return 10 sanity; but some effort at least may be made by cities and towns toward leading the!r people into more moderate and more Intelligent forms of celebration. If ex- plosives must be used the authorities
 can limit their use to the public parks during certain hours of tAe day. where the folly-hunters may kill and mainl themselves and each other to hearts content, without injuring other people, or destroying property by fire. The firing off of explosives among the close ly built shingle-roofed frame houses, which compose the gre eater part of our cities, is wholly in accord with the reck- less spirit of Americans regarding fire.
