CHARACTER MURDERERS.

It was the testimony Of Clarence 3.

Harvester Company. which above all
other evidence, caused the re-opening
of the Lorimer case in the senate.

NEAR SANITY AND SANITY.

! Nearly 200 lives were saved from
frightful and horrible death yesterday
! by the adoption of saner methods of
celebrating the birth of freedom in this
land Two years ago the list of dead
and injured on the morning after the
| Fourth numbered 215 dead and 1,7s5
/ injured as the result of accident due to
our insane method of celebrating. This
| morning the same statistics show only
| II dead and 326 injured. Thus have
we saved the lives of nearly 200 and
the injured Of nearly 1900 by a return
to sanity.
the celebration of the Fourth Of July?
The death list of only seventeen in a
nation Of hundred millions Of people,
of course. brings the mortality to about
the minimum, but as we look back upon
yesterdays performances how many Of
us are satisfied that it was worth
while?
One man said that Il stayed with my
boys every minute of the day until l
knew that the last explosive had been
fired. I risked the life of their mother
for everyone Of those kids and each
one of them is dearer to me than life
itself. We have run the gauntlet OF
life's ordinary dangers of sickness and
accident and approach the Fourth OF
July with about the same sense or an-
prehension as tho it were the one day
of the wear in which was called upon
to place my children in cage with
ferocious beasts in order to find out
whether the beasts would bite or not.
For me they didn't bite and / have all
my children back again this morning,
but 1 can't help wondering what in
sanity has come over a nation that Its
people should feel called upon to bait
destruction with their babies once
year. For one I am ready by law to
abolish explosives and the use OF fire.
works by any but experienced oper-
ators. Near sanity is as nothing to
actual sanity with me-"
And there is something In this mans
sol,loauy which will arouse sympathy
with the average parent. All that is
required is social sense of courage
enough to go forward with the reform.
Another man said that he had passed
up all Of the celebrations. had spread
blanket on the floor in front Of an
open window where the breeze was
best and THE kid and I had a fine
snooze." Now, no one doubts but that
the kid" vas far better off than had

town all that hot day and fed upon

Senator La Toilette Is adding moth
ing to his reputation In any direction
by his attitude toward Roosevelt. La
Toilette is himself an able and an In
defatigable worker. He is sound In his
views on economic subjects and he
has done agreat work in Wisconsin
and as a senator for his state in Wash
ington. But his strength before the
country is nowhere equal to that OF
Roosevelt. The wiser plan for him
would have been to gracefully &C
knowledge the fact and suppress any
momentary chagrin which he may
have felt upon discovery OF the real
situation.

The speeches that are delivered at
modern political party convention are
as good, If not better, than the speech :
es that have been delivered at party
conventions in other years, and yet
they have less influence on the voting
than ever before. Can it be possible
that because Of the Improvement of
the newspapers thruou, the country,
the putting aside Of partisanship and
the printing of the actual news facts
without partisan bias, the delegates
are better able to make up their
minds In advance than they ever were
before. so that no blaze os oratory will
produce consuming fire Of enthu-
siasm? We believe that Is the answer.
