THE SAFE AND SANE FOURTH

THE SAFE AND SANE FOURTH
Each year since 1903 The Journ-
al Of the American Medical Associa-
ton has been waging a propaganda
against the insensate manning and
death-dealing methods of celebrat-
ing our independence holiday. 1t
has gathered auI colateG the In
dubitable facts; and the lay press
magazines and newspapers-have
seconded Its endeavors 80 that an al
most revolutionary change has been
taking place.
1T Is gratifying to observe that
more and more the constituted auth
critics have recognized that it Is
their duty to prevent the burning
their death from lockjaw by prohib-
destructive agenCies. Official aD-
against fireworks has been restrict
probation Of this fact is evidenced
by the enactment and enforcement
of appropriate ordinance. Many Of
ficials have in the most saIutary
way cooperated with non-govern-
mental agencies interested in the
safe and sane Fourth. Legislation
against fireworks has been RESTRICT
I've or prohibitive. The latter, Of
course, gives the best results.
In European countries occasions
akin to our Independence Day are
commenorated by means Of fete5
and other picturesque ceremonies,
quite adequately, just as heartily
and with as much patriotic fervor as
among us. Continental people have q
genius for festivities, national as
well as all othor kinds. For adult
patriotism, oratory may suffice; but
this is not satisfying to the youth
OF the land. In the legitimate In
terests Of boyhood and girlhood,
things equally brilliant and satisfac-
tory must be substituted for the
noise, the flare and the varicolored
flame; and substitutes even more
resplendent have been found in
abundance. We have now methods
by which the Forth shall cease to
be day OF terroc, and shall become

man.
My work for and among the
Negroes OF Mississippi does not de-
pend upon the certificate of Mr..
Moseley, not even upon that of the
President himself. What I have
done with the limited resources at
Mound Bayou, and in the state, 7
Submit to the unbiased opinion of
Fall.
When Moseley, or the Taft man
ayers, attempt to tear me down
they are simply showing what they
would do to any of my people who
are independent in thought and ac-
ton. They know of my efforts to
induce philanthropists and capital
lists to place money in Mound Ba-
|you, and if our Immediate cash is
low it is due to the fact that we are
using nearly quarter of million
dollars to hold intact the Mound
Bayou plan, that we are backing
these Negroes in their efforts in the
town and on their farms in the
country, besides the cotton seed oil
mill, costing nearly ninety thous-
and dollars, and being the only one
owned by Negroes in the world.
Their efforts to create false i'm
pressions with those who would
help up~are understood, but we in
|vite the fullest investigation.
-Four years ago [ was the origin
al Taft man in Mississippi. On
Visiting the manager in Ohio at
that time / told him we wanted
conditions improved in our state,
which he promised, and I believe
even now, at heart desired fulfilled.
The net result, however, is that we
are now worse off in Mississippi
than ever since emancipation. 1t
was only after the hardest fight
and protest that we secured any
members of our race as enumera-
| tors of the census in state where
the majority of the population is
Negroes, and having some enumer-
alton districts in which not sim
lyle white man resides.
Some have asked why have [ not
made these protests before. 1t has
just got to the public, but l have
been fighting the situation from
every angle on the inside, and in
my judgment this is the first and
only opportunity to make effective
attack on the outside.
1t is significant that those who
|started the administration are the
least to have confidence in it's fu-
ture. This is not confined to my
trace nor section Of the country.
Even those who say trust him now
|give as reason that they believe
he will change; that of itself is I'M
flair to those who are following him
on what his position seems to be
|nOW. ----.
Touching the organization of the
new Federal Court and Judgeship,
L was told that certain kinds of
appointments would be made, it is
fair to presume that they would
be made for the good of all con
}cerned, if they are big enough for
the job such appointments will not
be influenced by my position on the
presidential candidacy; results will
tell.
The die is cast | have crossed
the Rubicon, and shall leave the
results of the battle with those of
sober Judgment when the smoke
has cleared away.
