a CCORDING to the ideas that ca
~ listed when was a boy, the
celebration of the Fourth OF
July without an inordiuate
amount OF noise would not have Neen
deemed a proper observance of the
annual display of patriotism a certain
number OF persons invariably lost their
lives through their own carelessness or
that of somebody else and a still Tar
various portions of their anatomy In
their efforts TO show proper respect to
the nation and the nations heroes
upon this great national holiday.
Personally | am glad to see that the
day of the noisy and dangerous Fourth
Is rapidly drawing to a close. II is
true that we still have fireworks and
all sorts of explosive toys with which
children may blow out their lives or
secure an attack OF Iockjaw with the
smallest possible difficulty. and yet at
the same time the signs of the times
indicate very clearly that il will not
be many years before all American
municipalities will follow the example
Of Springfield, Mass. and Detroit.
Mich. by giving their children a diff
ferent means Of observing Independ
ence day
In the SMALLER towns and cities this
change in the public sentiment is far
In,
larger places. but when the tide has
turned as conspicuously as 1t has to
day there can he little doubt as to the
nature of the final results.
Fifteen or twenty years ago 1t would
not have been possible for any body of
city fathers TO have undertaken to
have suppressed the noise of the chill
dren on the Fourth of July. The chill
dren would have been up in arms In
no time. and even the parents would
have declined to stand for such an in
novation. Gradually. however. the
work of the daily newspapers in ex
plotting the horrible chapters of acct
dents has had Its effect. People be-
gan to see to what an extent the an
nual sacrifice of life and limb had
grown. and they commenced to be I'm
pressed by the fact that 1t was a sac
rifice that was absolutely unnecessary.
The explosion of so many tons OF pow
der made a great noise. but 1t did not
rebound one iota to the honor of the
brave men TO whose patriotism we owe
our national existence.
The fact that we are actually begin
ming TO realize this truth after all
these years indicates that-as | have
said-the day of the noisy Fourth will
soon be over, and l am certain that,
with the possible exception of the fire.
works manufacturers, nobody will be
sorry We shall still continue TO cele-
brate the Fourth-there is no doubt as
to that-and we will celebrate it more
enjoyably If we make it, as several
cities are doing this year. an occasion
of innocent amusements rather than a
day of incalculable dangers.
