Beverly, Mass, to Marion, Ind. where
the President will make an address.
The President made strong plea for
the preservation of life by the elimination
OF old-time methods Of celebrating the

The President said: I'VE consult sta
tistics in America, because we believe
that they prove what a great people we
are. They are much more useful when
they show us our defects.
Statistics Tell Tale.
Statistics show the terrible loss to
the children in life and limb, because of
an insane and foolish observance of the
national holiday. When We think of
the way in which the Fourth of July
has been observed In the past. and of
the terrible consequences. 1t ought to
make US blush that We have not taken
means to stop It,
II am reminded of the mother who
had five children and said. With the
plague of their living and the fear of
their dying. l shall go crazy. 1t is our
duty to rid the mothers of the country
of all future anxiety by the passing of
ordinances forbiddinning the cannon
cracker, the top pistol and all other
menaces to childhood"

late. 1t was planned to stop few min
