NEITHER SAFE NOR SANE 18th.

AS is generally the case on Fourth

people were kept on the qai vive yes
terday in different sections Of the city
by the indscriminate use Of the lar
ger-sized and dangerous firecrackers
which were openly displayed and sold
in defiance of the orders of the May
or and Chief of Police. A little boy
has been MANNED for life by the ex-
piosion Of one of these contrivances
to make quiet people miserable on
certain holidays. His injury may end
in tetanus. To add to the distress Of
the family the mother of the child Is
seriously i'll, battling for her life
against an insiduous disease. A we'll

4 PROGRESSIVE PLATFORM.

The platform on which Wilson is to
go to the country is built of many
planks, but each is stenciled "progres-
sive." Considered as whole the docu
ment is able and effective, clearly pre-
senting the issues for which the DEM
ocracy is to make its battle.
The tariff plank was placed first.
as it should have been for tariff re-
vision is rendered the paramount issue
by the oppressive high cost Of living
in the republic. The plank Is flat
footed declaration for the tariff fol
revenue only; it recognizes the hgL
Republican tariff as the "prlnclpa.

wealth. That tax does make the rck
richer and the poor poorer The down

Of antitrust law violators is also just

The single presidential term is an
other plank which will appeal forcl-
bly, to the nation. One term would be
best for the country, and the Demo

Much attention is given to the con

vative in al! directions is progress

THE AMERICAN REPUBLICS.

So engrossed arc we in our own
Importance that we arc apt to for

Republic but that of the United States
That there are others was fOrcibly
brought to the attention Of the pub
lie by the Fourth Of July celebration
in Washington, the major part OF
which consisted in ceremonies held III
the Pan-American Building, devoted
TO the coordination and cooperation
between the American Republics.
The principal speaker was Hon.
John Barrett, Commissioner of the
Pan American Union.
To those not familiar with the great
humanizing work that even govern

tjnct from the old spirit of isolation
or competition, the work being done
bv Mr.. Barrett may not have been OF
interest but the future will show how
valuable to the civilization of the
NortE, and South American continents
this work is.
1t lies at the foundation OF Amer
lean civilization of the future. Some
one has said "To know all is to for
Give all" and NJ. Barrett is building
up a friendship between the American
Repuhlics on Il mutual understanding
of the characteristics Of the Latin
and Anglo Saxon races which VIII
make each realize how necessary thelr
differences are to the fullest deVe'-
opement of each race. Instead OF
having contempt for their different
racia! instincts they will appreciate
the value that comes from the attri-
ton Of such an association.
In this unique field. which, we may
