After hearing the appeals OF the
fair associations OF the halftmile
tracks and the horsemen who race
their trott"rs and PAGERS over the
tw~ice-around. the National and
American associations have decided
TO hold a meeting for the purpos,. OF
reconsidering their action in barring
hobbies Oh halt-mile tracks. The
Wheeling association have sent pro-
tests TO the associations together
with the other racing associations on
the Lake Fri" circuit. The protests
OF this and other half-mile circuits
were so strong thai the associations
have decided 10 hold q meeting next
month.
Providing that they do not lift the
bar on the hobbies. Wheeling and
the other Lake Erie towns will with
drawn from the two associations and
will form "A new racing association.
This Will IL doubt create "A harness
horse war. for tho two associations
will probably outlaw the half-mil.
horses from racing on tho big ovals

taorsemen are confident that the mat

both parties. as there j. TOO much a.

NO KILLINGS, NO LOCKJAW
Why "Safe and Sane Fourth ldes
 Has Taken Hold

From the Journal of the American Med
 cal Association.
 It is gratifying to observe that more
 and more the constituted authorities have
 recognized that it is their duty to pre- vent the burning and the crippling of childr en and their death from lockjaw by prohibiting the sale of fireworks and like destructive agencies. Official appreciation of this fact Is evil denced by the enactment and enforcement of appropriate oi dinances. Many officials have in the most salutary way co-operat- ed with non- governmental agencies in terested in the safe and sane Fourth. Legislation against fireworks has been restrictive or prohibitive. The latter, of course, gives the best results.
 In European countries occasions akin to our Independence Day are commence rated by means of fetes and other pie turesque ceremonies. quite adequately just as heartily, and with as much patri- otic fervor as among us. It the legitimate interests of bc yhood
 and girlhood things equally brilliai and
 satisfactory must be substituted fsr the
 noise the flare and the yaricolored dame. and substitutes even more resp >ndent have been found in abundauce.
 We have now methods whh ! the Fourth shall cease to be R Os terror

reason why Irish women have not taken an active part in the campaigns for votes for women" Is that all through the history of Ireland their wishes have been respected and their advice followed by the men of Ire land When home rule becomes law, they say a request for suffrage may be made by them, if such is the will of the women of Ireland.
