The Sanity Of the Coming Fourth

Much has been done in the last few
years to insure protection to life and
property on the fourth of July. But
the chief responsibility for holding
fast the advantage gained by the re-
form movement of the last few years
and carry it to still higher degree
of safety and sanity rests with the
parents.
The young people of the land con-
strued liberty as license until the ter
rible causualty roll of each succeed
ing Fourth, together with the grow
ing fire loss, and the increasing tor
lures suffered by the sick and ner-
vous aroused the country to sober
ing realization of the appalling price
that was being paid for the obser-
vance of the glorious holiday. Then
came reaction. Older and wiser
heads got busy with the problem of
making the day safe and sane. Much
has been accomplished, but the fact
that 1903 American children were
either killed or seriously injured last
Fourth of July shows that a lot is
still to be done This number was
happily 1900 fewer than in 1910, and
$500 fewer than in 1909
Mere prohibition does not solve the
problem. Towns and various organ
izations, and especially the parents il
every home, must make plans for the
Fourth that will meet youthful need:
Excursions, picnics, games, reunions
/ pageants, parades, music, the ringing
of bells, a reasonable amount of th'
noise that does not involve the loss o
/ fingers and eyes, and fireworks unde
intelligent supervision-all these ma.
properly fit into the observance. Ant
here and there few old fashioned
people may feel that it is fitting t
read the Declaration of independence
and to reflect on the growing need o
the spirit that inspired the fathers

BENNINGTON. VT, JULY 3. 1si:
ANOTHER EXPERIMENT

The Democrats at Baltimore after
much travail and sorrow have finally
agreed to try another experiment.
Having failed repeatedly with Bry'
an, the orator, and also with Parker,
the lawyer, they will now see what
they can do with Wilson, the school
master.
1t is purely experimental. Cover
nor Wilson has never yet proved that
he is statesman. His admirers
have Dragged about his record as
governor of New Jersey, but as a
matter of fact, his record there is
not one particle superior to the rec
ord of Governor Mead in Vermont. In
some respects it is not as good.
In Vermont, the Republican major
ity in the legislature enacted a few
creditable measures. In New Jersey
the Republican minority in the legis-
lature aided by few progressive
Democrats, did number of good
things for which all the credit has
been claimed for the governor by his
friends. In neither Vermont nor
New Jersey does more than a fair
share of the credit belong to the gov
ernor.
Governor Wilson may be the states
man that his admirers think he is.
We would not say that he is not, for
as a matter of fact. nobody knows
not even Governor Wilson. Our
friends, the Democrats. are merely
trying another experiment on the yo-
ters of the United States
For the moment the interest cen
ters in the nominee, but the real
meat in the cocoanut lies in the en-
vironment and the platform. Wilson
comes before the country as the little
brother of Bryan. Bryan could not
| himself be nominated but he dictated
the nominee and wrote the platform
and herein lies the danger.
The Democratic party has surren
dered completely to the free traders
the wild cat banking and currency
schemes of Oklahoma and the Bour-
bon stupidity of the south.
There are many good things in the
Baltimore platform. but there are al
so several dangers. Free trade is a
beautiful theory and there is no ques-
ton but that it will reduce prices to
the consumer, but at the expense OF
wages. Free trade is the silliest
form of insanity that ever obsessed a
political party
1t would be ruin for the working
men and the farmers of this country
to attempt free trade as long as the
great European nations with whom
our workmen compete, maintain a
protective tariff.
Woodrow Wilson is a scholar and
gentleman, but there is absolutely
no reason why anybody save Bryan
lite and free trader should flock to
his standard. He is purely an exper-
iment and experiments in statesman
ship are often dangerous.

RECOGNIZE VALUE OF TREES
Courts Have Not Been Slow TO Take
Steps TO Prevent Their Wanton
Destruction.

Various sums have been determined
by courts as the proper award for de-
struction Of street trees, and some
have been accounted worth $1,000 or
$4,000 A good tree represents a con.
siderable value to the abuttng prop.
perty and courts have readily recog.
nized t. The following is from the
Washington Herald
"The New York court Of appeals
has approved an award Of damages In
the sum Of $500 in favor Of a property
owner against a contracting company
for the destruction OF each shade
tree abutting his property with an ad.
ditional $1,000 for incidental damage
10 his estate This Is probably the
highest value that has ever been set
upon the city shade trees and demon
strates that there is a value TO the
tree not to be computed by It's timber
Or It's fruit
while the great value Of forests as
regards their timber product as well
as their aid In the conservation Of
rainfall, has been thoroughly estab'
lished, there is opportunity for more
lessons IN the value Of urban shade
trees Communities nowadays are
taking great pride In their shade
trees, appreciating the fact that their
shade adds to the comfort Of living,
especially In summer time and thus
contributes to the value Of homes and
Of real estate In general Here In
Washington these shade trees are one
Of the city's assets, perhaps appre,
ciated more by the newcomer or yisi.
tor than by the resident who has been
long accustomed to them, The trees
which we have should be carefully
conserved, and at every opportunity
more trees should be planted, Tho
shade trees Of city streets should be
regarded as public institution, a fac.
tor In the public health and comfort
to be sustained and developed as n
