Sane Fourth Idea Coming.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: An increas-
ing number of cities are going TO
have sane and a safe Fourth. In
some OF them practically every form
of the deadly fireworks is to be elm
mated, except such as are fired under
official direction and by people who,
it is reasonable to suppose, have sense
enough not to be blown to pieces. We
wonder how many cities are going to
tolerate the unsafe and insane Fourth,
with its hideous noise, its killed or
manned boys and girls, its idiotic dis
charge of weapons loaded with blank
cartridges. The sane and safe move
ment Is making such progress that
the noisy city of July Fourth will soon
be a back number
