Morine Toward sanity.

The Journal OF the American
Medical Association in the last is
sue publishes the collected and tab
.uIated statistics of the deaths and
naimings which resulted from the
celebration Of the Fourth this year.
These Fourth of July casualties
have been gathered annually by this
journal during a period OF nine
years, and comparison of the ns-
ures indicating the fatalities and in
turies resulting each year shows
.conclusiveIy that a gratifying prog
reas is being made in the direction
OF rendering the Fourth safer and
saner. There were not half as many
deaths from Fourth of July accl-
dents this year as last, and the seri-
Gus injuries were far less than had
occurred in any one OF the previous
eight years covered by the tabula-
ton. In many spots scattered over
the country the celebration OF this
wear was conducted with the old
time fury and flfty-seven people
we're killed and 1916 wounded.
There is reason for hope concerning
the future, however, "neh COtAR
igon is made with 1903, when 460
were killed and 1888 wounded.
1T is certainly a grim traversity
upon our patriotic pride that a
greater number of people have been
slsin during the last nine years IN
celebrating the defeat of the British
In the Revolutionary struggle than
were killed by the British in all the
battles of the Revolution, says an
Exchange. If the Fourth of July
casualties for the last one hundred
Years could be tabulated it is likely
that the killed and wounded woulu
be several times as great as all the
enlisted soldiers who fought for IN,
|dependence during the entire periou
Of the struggle. During the last
nine years there were S9,129 S1S-
nalties from our natal celebration
of which 1,719 were fatalities. the
safe and sane movement is spreadins
into new areas year by year, ana
nerhaps eventually our natal day

The Chinese have never been
counted, and It is only recently that
the government has made any sys-
tematic ana intelligent attempt to
arrive at some reasonable computa-
ton.
The imperial board Of the interior
caused the households to be care
fully counted and reported in all
parts OF the empire. A count of in
dividuals was also made In two prov
infces, in parts of others, and In the
urban district of the capital. A ra-
ito OF individuals to families was
then established, based upon these
partial enumeration, with the result
that the population of the empire is
estimated to be 1886, OF2, 900. much
smaller number than has heretofore
been set down. as the Statesman's
Year Book of 1g11 gives the esti-
mate at 48S, $50, $50.

The governor of South Carolina
is excited and angry. not becaue OF
any lack of attention on the part
of the governor of North Carolina,
hut for the reason that the his
tories used as text books in the
schools of his state say the
burning of Columbia, during the
Civil war, was the deliberate act OF
its own people He insists that the
destruction of the city was a fiend-
ish outrage perpetrated by the cruel
invaders who marched to the sea
under General Sherman, and he de-
mands that the books be changed.
The governor is making a good
deal more noise that he would had
he been one of the lighters who OPP
posed the progress of the "bum-
mers'' that split the Confederacy in
twain, declares an exchange. The
explanation of General Sherman Is
generally regarded as settling all
disputes on this subject.
He said that his soldiers did not
start the fire that nearly wiped out
Columbia. The Confederates put
the torch to their warehouses rather
than have the cotton which was in
them fall into his hands. But the
general grirnly and candidly added
that if he had considered it mill
tary necessity to burn Columbia OF
any other southern city he entered
with his army, he would not have
hesitated a moment in doing so. In
this particular case re didn't see the
necessity.
But neither southerners nor north
erners are interested any longer in
such questions as these. The war If
over and the stars and stripes float
over the entire country. Columbia
was burned, as many other cities have
been in war. Nobody cares now
which side did the burning.

In the State of West Vir-
GINA as Shown in
Washington.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. l.
That West Virginia would prove
poor field for the postal savings
bank system was predicted in this
when the first postal
savings banks were about to be es-
tahlished about the first OF the
present year. That it has proved a
poor field for them has been shown
in several official statements as to
the business of the offices already
established, the showing made by
the offices which have reported being
far short of the showing made in
similar Offices in other states.
That the postofHce department it
self recognizes West Virginia as a
poor field for it's institutions is
shown by the comparative few pos
tai savings banks established in the
state, as compared with the number
in other states. The total number
of postofices in West Virginia IS
about one-twenty-eighth of the total
number in the United States. But
the number of postal savings banks
established is about one-eightY-fifth
of the total number established in
the United States. So that it is ap-
parent that the postofice depart
ment recognizes that West Virginia
has little use for these institutions.
The number of postal savings
banks established in West Virginia
so far is 21. OF these. four are in
the first class Offices and the remain
ing seventeen in second class OIL
ces. The total number established
in the United States up to the pres
ent time is a little over 1900. The

A PrnnIleCY.

The wheeling Intelligencer not
only has a correct estimate of the
ability of Judge Nathan Cor. of this
city, and his Potentially in the po-
litical field, but it also believes he
will declare his candidacy for United
States senator, a possibility all West
virglnians would without doubt like
to see realized. Says the lntelli-
gencer:
There is Just one man in West
Virginia who can prevent the cleo
ton of Nathan Con to the United
States Senate in 1913 and that man
is Nathan Goff himself. The Intel
ligencer does not believe that he
will prevent it. On the contrary he
will feel that such an election will
be a call to duty and Nathan Con
never failed to respond to a call to
duty.
