The Harmless Fourth.
From the Cincinnati Times-Sta

Cincinnati, along with other wide-awake
cities. is very much in earnest about its
safe and sane Fourth this year. In 1911
although the arrangements were not
from premature explosions of fireworks
or other questionable means of cele-
brating Independence Day in this city.
This was largely due to the crusade
against the deadly methods of cele-
brating. This year eighteen Fairgrounds
and many school yards are to be used
for the celebrations that are planned by
the committee of citizens who have taken
the safe and sane Fourth of July in hand
The programs at these different spots will
be somewhat alike. but varied according
to the desires of the neighborhOods In
which they are to be given.

"The Senators. !"
From the Chicago Post.

r rom tnp chicago Fost.
The Senators have won fifteen games
straight. They are playing ball in a way
that is good for the American League
and good for the game. Moreover, the
Capital city fans deserve to have a win
ner, or at any rate near winner. for
White Sox pride and preference will not
allow us to go further than a wish for a
close approach to the top for any other
team. The fans of Washington are the
most faithful crowds of game followers
in the country, They have been support
ing losing club Loyalty for years. They
apparently have finally the realization OF
the dreams of many years. always dismal
in everything but hope. which has been
of the long-deferred kind OF the poet but
which never made sick the hearts of the
Washington rooters. Here's to second
place for the Senators"
