Chicago, July 6--America has cele
hlated its sanest Fourth. The adop
ton since last year by many addi-
ticnal cities, villages and hamlets OF
regulations forbidding the sale or use
of fireworks resulted in a further
saving of life and lessening of the
number OF manned.
In cities and villages in which the
sale of fireworks was forbidden, the
humber OF casualties WAS greatly re
duced.
In places where the use of FIRE.
works was forbidden and the regula-
tons enforced by the police there
were no casualties.
The success of the sane Fourth idea
es a life saver in cities which adopt
ed 1t last year and the year before re-
suited in the spread OF the idea to
scores of smaller towns this year
he reports of satisfaction found in
the sane method indicate there viii
be still wider extension before the
rext Fourth of regulations forbiddinS
the use of fireworks,
The realization by municipal au-
thorities that absolute prohibition of
lne use OF nTeWOrhS IL tue olli} way
to assure a Fourth without casualties,
is apparent in the nature of the or
dinances now being adopted as com
pared with those of previous years,
which forbade only the use Of certain
of the more dangerous kinds of fire
" orks.
With a few exceptions. the large
cities were free from accidents. The
casualties that occurred were mostly
in the country districts.

the consensus of opinion was that the

organ to shrink materially.

WHY DID THE VOTE FALL
FALL OFF7

The falling off by some 10000 of
the popular vote in the presidential
election from the totals of 1908 is a
surprising aspect of the election that
causes much discussion. The most
plausible explanations offered are,
first, that there was a good deal less
money to spend this year; second,
that owing to the length and bitter
ness of the campaign. the people be.
came tired of politics.
It is commonly estimated that
about one man in very four or FIVE Of
the population could be a voter, &C
cording to the strictness of the tests
imposed in several states. Apparently
about one man to every seven of the
population had the energy to walk
up to the polls and vote on November
5th. ~
If it was announced that on a GER
tain day, at hours convient for all
classes of people, every citizen over
Fl years would be given a $l.00 bill
free, probably 90 per cent of the voters
would happen along and take their
dollar. When Patrick Henry got to
talking about the privilege of voting,
he remarked. "Cive me liberty or give
me death" But Patrick lived in a
time when they didn't know how to
take a joke. y

MEXICAN ATTITUDE TOWARD
THE UNITED STATES.

A bill has been introduced in the
Mexican Congress to expell foreigners
from Mexico. give them FIVE years
in which to dispose of the property,
and then con6scate all property I'M
sold.
This would be practically confsca-
ton of all property. since the for
eigner could only sell to a Mexican.
The value of property so con6scated
