CIRCULATION
A GLORIOUS FOURTH,

A crg of thanks goes up throughout the land that each succeeding Fourth tenH more and more to the safe and sane observance of the day. There are Of course. many instances of seri- GUS injuries from the use Of explosives in celebrating. but thanks to a fast changing sentiment the methods of celebrating are taking on more civ iiized tone. This is noted in the fact that the list of fatalities and injuries which will main for life is practically wiped out. Restriction is responsible for part of it. but that is only the result of the efforts for a proper observance of Independence day. The 136th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Inde- pendence was a glorious but not a gory day.
 Everyone felt the full significance of the day as impressively with a display Of patriotism in exercises. concerts, psEeants and games with a reasona ble amount of noise and fireworks. as they would have with a cannonading and a loss Of lie and limb. The change is ln every way beneficial and calculat- ed 10 arouse increasing interest every day. The education of the people to such a view has not been accomplish cd without long and persistent en- dsavor. It had the benefit of the larga number of examples in every com muniiy which support the idea and silently argue for its adoption and con- tinuanca

SANITATION IN CAMP.

The season is at hand when the camping parties are in favor and many hundreds Of people will live in tents for the next two or three months. II provides an ideal method of spending a vacation. if the inclinations of the va eationists turn that way. the pleasure being obvious, and inviting particularly Co city folks. There are. however. as- Bociatsd with the pleasure. numerous fangeru in the way Of disease breed hg conditions which must be carefully avoided or dire results are bound to Follow. The camper must provide his hystem Of sanitation. protection against mosquitoes. polluted water and general slovenliness. Those who are the most used to having such pro- vided for them in the cities are the mos, likely to suffer from the danger of their presence. Carelessness about camps should not be tolerated any more thaa about dwellings.
 In guarding sources of water, clear ness should not be mistaken for purity. for the summer camp has freuuentlv been the cause of typhoid fever and often times the place where malaria is contracted, to develop later. Small summer settlements are likewise liable co the same dangers unless the strict est care is taken in the adoption of sanitary measures and respecting them. The suggestion that cleanliness is next to Eodliness can well be adopt cd ss a motto to be hung in A con spicuous place among the college pen nants and signs which adorn many camps and cottages. The observance cf it then will be a valuable asset tJ good health.

COMMISSION MANAGER PLAN.

An interesting trial of the commis- sion manager plan of city government is to be tried in Sumter. S. C. and it's operation will be watched throughout the country for results in the new step taken in political experimentation in municipalities. It is a plan which is particularly adapted to small cities and as is the case in the straight com mission form much depends upon the ability of the man or men at the head of the new city government. The new Sumter law places the responsibility upon three men. who can do anything mat the citv can do. TheY are not to he hampered by having to work through elective clerks There is a snort ballot without ward lines and petty local jealousies. while the initia- live referendum and recall are in readiness for emergencies.
 The commission ot three selects the city manager from any point in the country. he being placed In charge of affairs and they are held responsible for his acts and will demand from him ra efficient administration. Municipal cfiriencv Is what is desired in nll clt- es and if tho Sumter plan solves the r-nhiem e will mean the solution of 1a m1or,ant problem. lt sull labors with tho difficulty of getting the right nam which such theoretical plans de- pend upon.

To Discard Freckles,
 Tan. Pimples. Wrinkles
lFrom Feminine Morld.l

The use of creams on the face some times causes hair to grow. You can avoid the risk of acquiring superhuous hair by avoiding cosmetics and using mercolized wax instead. There is noth- ing better for any condition of the skin, as the wax actually absorbs the offen- sive cuticle. The latter is naturally re- placed by a clear, smooth, healthy complexion, full of life and expression. It's the sensible way to discard a freckled. tanned, over-red. blotchy or pimpled skin. Get an ounce of mer- colized wax at any druggists and apply nightly like cold cream, erasing in the morning with soap and water. It takes q week or 50 to complete the transfor- nation.
 The ideal wrinkle eradicalor Is made by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in a half pint witch hazel Bathing the face in the solution brings almost Instantaneous resultS

THE TIME OF ROSES

(Written Specially fer The Bulletln)
 And what time Is that, may 1t please your honor? We used to think it meant June but this year it bids fair to be July, fer as Whittier told
 us years ago, spring came slowly down this way. June of 1912 was a capricious maid and did she vouch- safe us a warm day to make good her claim to belong to summer, 1t was immediately followed by one so
 cold that gardeners feared for the life of all things capable of being frostbitten. The farmers hereabouts have even reported three times of planting the same vegetables, and they do not seem sure of the third time being successful Even the June brides seem fewer in number than usual and the only crop in creasing fourfold appears to be the political conventions and their can didates. But politics is not favorite subject with the Idler, so we will leave that for some more powerful pen to develop.
 Our Californian friends boast of roses the year round, and so all the months are June to them. or their climate Lowell would take no pleasure in writing, What is so rare as a day in June!" But of this sea son he could well write "so raw instead of his original thought. To return to the roses. How they glad den the year whenever their time of blooming Red Rambler in full flower is within my vision and is a charming feature in the landscape and almost makes one forget the shivers which came when the milk oIv ct

 share in making the Rose of New

 Not that there is any lack of variety in our display of roses. She is the queen of flowers, certainly, and heI ladies--in waiting are all beautiful il their day and generation. What . jop it furnishes to be able to. view an exhibit of so choice varieties as was offered not long since to the public If one cannot cultivate sucf | beauties for ones own. it is a great pleasure to see the results of others l labors, and cultivating flowers is 2 | labor of love even to those who make | it a money making business. Have ! you ever watched a florist at worl among his plants? How tenderly ht 1 handles them. With what a gentle | hand he trains them. It cannot al l be to increase their market value, fol he plainly shows that he loves then for their own loveliness, and is il | harmony with their beauty.

Too Much Continuous Performances.
 Little Madge contracted appendici- tis, and had to be sent to the hospital to have an operation performed. She bore 1t all very coolly and pluckhly When she became convalescent, the surgeon came to remove the stitches that had been put in the wound. The child's plea of dignity was very much upset, and she demanded, indignant ly: Do you s'pose I come here to be all stitched up and then unpicked again?"

DESTRUCTION AND CHAOS.

After an experience in New Eng land with the trouble-making L w, w., wbo have led workmen into strikes on the slightest of pretences and in in stances where no trouble existed, their policy of fomenting trouble is being ex- pencnccd in the middle vest Of the threat of W. D. Haywood to force himself and his organization on to the Community for a general strike as soon as properly organized. the Detroit Free Press says:
 Precisely why this strike is to be called down upon both the just and the unjust. Mir. Haywood does not deign to tell us. Just what grievances the laborer and the man with a trade have which need correction and which can be corrected only by a general strike, he does not trouble to explain. He does not consult the trades unions, nor the Detroit Federation of Labor; at least he does not tell us that he speaks with their authority. As a boss of the l. W. w.. he simply stands up and an nounces that general strike is to be called in this city at the earliest pos
 
 leader of the l. w. w. comes to De- troit He notes that it is prosperous and happy that wages are good, that the relations between employers and employees are friendly. that the people threng the savings banks, and he is envious. Like Satan he gnashes his teeth and declares he will never rest until he has destroyed everything good and resurrected chaos
 Detroit is being treated like the oth- CT places. It is time that not only the labor unions, but every workman should realize the danger of such a man and such an organization. Their suppression cannot come too quick for the welfare of all concerned. Destruc- ton and chaos are their watchwords.

DISPLAY OF POOR JUDGMENT.


 The mess which A. Piatt Andrew has stirred up in the treasury department reminds one of the experience of the
 boy who couldn't have his own way and is acting to his own detriment His statements gave for the first time an intimation that the treasury de- partment was being incapably handled but for a young man even of the abil- itv of Mir Andrew to attack a man of the business ability of MT. Mac Neagh. whose unquestioned qualif1ca-
 tions are reelected in his department as well as in his Chicago work requires more than the unsubstantiat- ed writings of a subordinate.
 Giving the impression that he had voluntarily resigned. Mr. Andrew ere ated sensation by his charges. but subsequent developments put an en- 1 tirelv different light on the subject Instead of retiring of his own accord he was requested not once but several times. to resign. and it was like pulling teeth to get it. He exhausted every influence before he compiled with in- structions, and tried executive elem ency without avail. President Taft fully understanding the error of play ing favorites with the department as- sistants, maintains strict regard for the department heads It would ap- pear that Mir. Andrew conceived the idea that his methods should be used in the conduct of the department and that he tried to force them upon the secretary. From the statement by Secretary MacVeagh. his assistants s course was to have gone quietly rather than making a fuss over something which shows him to be in the wrong. None of those 10 whom he referred as able to testify to Secretary Mac Veaghs "idiosyncracies" and "ineapa- city for decision" are rushing to his defense, but are standing by the sec retary. Mir. Andrew evidently consd- CTS he should have been the head of the department. His self-importancs is well displayed.
