A SANE FOURTH IN NEW YORK.

That the Fourth of July in New
York City so far as the old-fashioned
noisy and dangerous celebration is
concerned, is practically at an end is
indicated by the fact that steps are
already being taken to make it even
more safe and sane this year than last
year. Indeed, it is apparent that so far
as New York is concerned the old time
jubilee of toy cannon. fire crackers and
other explosive rockets with the con-
comitant list of deaths, missing fin
gers and general mutilation OF the
celebrators, TO say nothing of the de-
struction of property, has become a
thing of the past.
While this may cause woe to a large
number of youngsters, the new cele-
bration with games, displays of fire.
works in charge Of competent opera
tors and other forms of amusement
for young America, are calculated not
only TO keep the spirit Of rs alive,
but also TO work a valuable conserva-
ton of Father Knickerbocker's grow
ing citizens.

Arrange for N. e. A.
Meeting at Chicago

An official bulletin and program for
the National Educational association
convention, to be held in Chicago from
July to u, inclusive, has been is
sued by the association.
In it is contained information as TO
hotel and railroad rates, side trips
while the convention is in progress,
dates of special events, quarters and
advantages for summer teachers, and
list of every event contemplated dur
ing the convention.
Special attention is called to educa-
tional services arranged by the pas
tors of Chicago for Educational Sun
day. The list gives promise of exer
cises for that day that will be note
worthy and wide in their scope.
In accordance with the usual GUS
tom of holding such services, arrange
ments have been made to include near
ly every church in the city. The day
has been set for July 7, one day after
the official beginning of the conven-
ton. It is expected that many churches
will be added TO the list of 40 now
given.
Round-trip rates, with numerous
stop-over privileges, have been ar
ranged at low rates from points both
east and west. Many side trips at
low rates are offered from stop-over
points en- route in both directions.
Abundant choice of routes is offered
in both directions, without extra
charge.
Headquarters of the convention will
be in the Auditorium hotel and the
congress hotel. The headquarters Of
the national executive committee. the
board of trustees and the officers of
the various departments will be in
the Auditorium hotel, while the head
quarters of the registration bureau, the
local reception committee and the com.
mittee on assignment TO accommoda-
tons will be the Elizabethan room Of
the Congress hotel.
An elaborate system for greeting and
welcoming visitors to the convention
has been arranged and will be in force
during the period of the meeting.
/ Guides wearing badges designating
their Office will meet incoming visi-
/ tors at all stations and accompany
/ them to the n. E. A. registration bur.
eau in the Congress hotel, and, if de.
sired TO their places of entertainment
in any BART of the city. There will

you feel, however, that you were in
the wrong you might write a note,
acknowledging your error. 1t would
then be the young mans place to take
steps to restore the old friendly foot
ing.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: If 1 should
wiring the necks of some OF the
neighbours chickens that destroy my
garden, could 1 be prosecuted?
F. G. H.
Perhaps the court would sympathize
with you, but why not try all peace
full means first? There are some
neighbors, of course, who will pay no
attention to requests to keep their
fowls at home. Summary execution of
one offending chicken might stop the
depredations, while at the same time
laying basis for a possible enmity.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: An attractive
young man has been coming into the
Office where l work to see my employ
ers on business quite frequently for
over a year. We have never been in
troduced, but sometimes l have to
wait on him. l can see that he would
like to be friends, but l pretend not
to notice when we pass on the street.
Would it be wrong to speak?
MYRTLE.
In your case I should say that an
introduction would not be necessary
before exchanging pleasant civilities
on meeting. If you wish to decide
whether or not you should allow the
young man to call, l am hardly in a
position to advise so readily. A very
simple way to conform to the propri-
cites would be to have someone in the
office who knows the young man, in
troduce him to you formally.

HUGHES AS A DARK HORSE.

AS Colonel Roosevelt continues to
gain votes, there will be more and
more talk of Associate Justice Hughes
as a compromise candidate for the re-
publican presidential nomination.
Accepting the theory OF those OPP
posed 20 elective federal judges and
limited terms, as much violence would
be done TO our institutions by making
a judge of the supreme court a presi-
dental candidate as by electing Mr..
Roosevelt for a third term.
With this opinion Justice Hughes
himself evidently is in agreement.
The New York World reports him as
authorizing the statement that Jus
tice Hughes regards a member Of the
supreme court as ineligible for politi-
s cal Office, and. II he had his way,
would welcome constitutional
amendment prohibiting such justices
from seeking or holding Offices"
Justice Hughes thought is that
judges OF the court of last resort
should be free from any allurement
Of higher Office and should understand
that no higher distinction can come
TO them than that which they enjoy,
the effect Of this being TO eliminate the
personal equation from their Judge,
ment Of issues before them for deci-
sion

CAPITAL COMMENT

sold the diseased animals"
The truth about Secretary Wilson is
this: He is trusting, easy going old
man who is past his usefulness, and
who has allowed, perhaps unknowing-
ly, a group of younger men who are
crafty schemeTs TO gain the upper
hand in his department.
Attached to Wilson's department is
young man named McCabe. He is
one of the department lawyers, whose
duty it is to pass upon legal questions
that come before the department.
McCabe long ago perceived that Will
son, to use a street term, was easy"
and accordingly he began to usurp
powers and privileges which did not
belong to him, and which it was never
meant that he should have. First
this man, McCabe, began to hamper DR..
Wiley, who admittedly was the most
efficient public servant in Washington.
McCabe so hampered and so harrassed
Wiley that the latter, after nearly 80
years of faithful service, was driven
from the government service.
TURNED TALENT IN OTHER WAYS.
With Wiley gone, McCabe turned his
talent TO other directions. He then
began TO hamper the work of the meat
inspectors, SO that gradually, under a
series of legal interpretations" of the
intent of congress in the matter of the
pure food law, he dragged down the
standard of the meat inspection tests.
Back of McCabe when he was ham
pering Wiley were the food dopers,
and back of him when he lulled Viii
son into suppressing the land report
were the land sharks, and back of him
now, in his efforts to kill the meat
inspection law, is the beef trust.

GERMAN CATHOLICS OF
STATE MEET AT FREEPORT

sion in this city yesterday, with about
225 delegates in attendance. Right

ford, and Right Rev. John Jansen,
bishop of Belleville, were present
There was parade of the local and Wis
iting societies in the afternoon, fol-
lowed by a mass meeting, at which
number of prominent church mem
bers made addresses. In the evening a
sacred concert was given.

Three young men Of Chicago, who
were trotting around the globe went
onto an English man-of-war at Gibral-
ter TO see how the machine worked
and to see what a warship is like.
They were Immediately arrested as
German spies and held in custody.
This is probably owing to the fact that
they came from Chicago, which is so
close to Milwaukee, where the beer is
produced which made that town ia

in Chicago who might be taken for
Germans, whether they were taken for
spies or not, and IL they came from
Milwaukee they certainly would be
viewed with suspicion II the English
were trying TO catch Germans on gen

Dear Mrs. Thompson: A few months
ago, when my husband was away from

borrow some money to help along
with expenses, expecting to pay it
back from my weekly allowance.
There has been sickness in the fam
lily since, and l am having hard time.
So far l have paid twice as much as
originally borrowed, and owe about
as much as al first. The money lender
threatens 10 tell my husband. What
am l to do? TROUBLED.
If were you, should lose no time
in telling my husband about the af-
fair. No doubt he will come to your
help at once, if he is the right kind
of a man, and straighten out the
tangle. Loan agencies do a big bust
ness, more's the pity, with people who
cannot afford the luxury.

Of technicalities and appeals that are
