ones. II seems a sort of folly
almost too unspeakable to relate,
but there are instances where
American fireman have been
killed in runs to fires on July 4th
by being thrown from trucks by
frightened horses swervlng
from their course at explosives
thrown under them as they
galloped past.
Never an Independence
Day but scores of human beings
are made dependent for life.
Life and limb are jeopardized by
explosives thrown from windows
above the level Of the street,
setting fire to clothing and men

passing, while upon the child,
who in his innocent love Of noise
and objective demonstration re-
spends 60 our present absurd
kind of celebration. falls the
heavy hand of disaster. When
our civilization was not so COM
pick, it was possible for those
who had the courage to leave
their homes to the mercy of pos
sible conhagrations, to shut them
up and escape to the quiet of the
country. Not so to-day. The
trolly car and the automobile
follow the seeker after peace to
his country retreats, throwing
explosives at his head as they
roar past in their reckless ire
sponsibility.
And for what. Nobody stops
to enquire. Nobody any longer
cares. We have gotten wholly
away from the educational signi-
fcance Of independence" Day,
and lost ourselves in an orgy of
fire and noise.
1t is, perhaps. too much to ex-
pect any sudden return to sanity;
but some effort at least may be
made by cities and towns toward

Mr.. lmboden is a very pleas

very fair on all issues Of the

printed in the Avalanche and
many other Texas papers last
week he stated that the makers
of the ticket had no more right
to use his name on that ticket
so far as his position on the
prohibition question was con-
cerned than our own name and
as to his position on the ques-
ton he referred US to the ad-
dress he made in Seymour a
few days ago which we found
in the Fort Worth Record and
reads as follows on this ques-
ton:
Ii might not be important
whether he has supported oe OPP

not be important whether he
is now a prohibitionist or an

Last Tuesday evening small crowd
of the young married people went
down on the banks of willamette river
for a swim and picnic dinner. A huge
bonfire made surroundings comforta-
ble while coffee was brewed and a de-
lightful dinner prepared and served.
Mrs. Asahel Bush, Jr., was a lunch
eon hostess Thursday complimenting
Mrs, Robert Root Benham. An ex-
quisite arrangement of pink tulle and
roses in the same shade centered the
table where ten places were marked
with large corsage adornments of pink
baby roses and delicate species Of
maidenhair fern, held by a pink silken
cord with tasseled ends.
Perfect limitations of La France
woses were the individual servers for
bon-bons.
Following luncheon, card games
were played with Mrs. William G.

beautiful prize Mrs. Bush's guests on
this occasion were Mrs. Robert Ben
