SAFE AND SANE
FOURTH OF JULY.

The propaganda started several
years ago in the interest of safe
and sane observance of Independence
Day has actually spread over the
greater part of the country, and ev-
cry year communities here and there
are cutting ougG .khe objectionable
feature of the Fourth of July. The
lists of the many accidents resulting
from the careless use of firearms and
mutilations in one form or another
from explosives Of all sorts have
caused the authorities 10 take meas
ures to eliminate these unnecessary
incidents in the great American hol-
iGay.
Mayor Fisher, following the policy
of his predecessor in the Mayors
officer has issued imperative orders
to the police department 10 carry out
laws whicJ have for years been on
the statute books, which forbid eX-
plosives in the city as well as the
sale of explosives including the dead
" toy pistol. These laws have for
many years been moEs honored In
their breach than in their ooSerV-
ance.
In recent years fusilades on lnde-

the law and that the authorities may
not be compelled to make examples
of such who in bygone days nave

CANCER A GREAT MENACE.
Mortality Exceeds That of Tubercu-
losis in Registration Area.


New York, June 24.-The curren
issue of the Medical Record, in al
editorial article on Education of tht

ace" points out that the increase il
this disease in the United States is
real and not merely apparent, as ha.
been asserted
the increase has been so mark,
ed in recent years that in 1910 Their;
were II 557 more deaths from cancer
than from tuberculosis in the regis.
tration area. Local geographical
conditions are responsible in a greai
degree for the prevalence or absence
of the disease The wri says:
"The death rate from cancer in
creases slowly to the age of 50, after
which the rate increases rapidly to
the end of life. 1t is higher through
out for women on account of the mor-
tally from cancer of The breast and
organs of generation.
"In 1910 there were 1857 mora
deaths from cancer than from tuber~
culosis in the registration area,
thereby showing the greater import
ance of cancer over tuberculosis anG
the great need of education in the
knowledge of the disease.
"Regarding the theories Of cancer,
no trustworthy statistics have bee@
obtained to substantiate the theory of
hereditary or the transmission from
man to man, but little more reliable
evidence can be given to prove that

CONFLICT IN
RICHMOND.

There is anxiety In Richmond cor
corning the outcome of the lanruae
useds yesterday by Captain Carlo!
Mccarthy, former Mayor Of the city
in reply to an editorial in the Times
Dispatch. Captain Mccarthy took of
Tense at the criticism of the admin
istrative board concerning certai
recommendation regarding tn
health of the city.
The outcome of the signifcan. wore
used by the former Mayor is attract
inS interest among the friends o
Mccarthy as we'll as those of Johl
Stewart Bryan, editor of the Times
Dispatch.
The incident brings to mind condi-
tions which existed in Richmond
shortly before and some time aftes
the civil war, when duels were o!
common occurrence between editor
and people who suffered real or mag
mary grievances at the hands Of pub
fishers. AT that time the duelins
history of editors was regarded a
the proper crednetial Of the wielder 6
the quill. The killing of H. Rives P,l
lard, the "affairs" between the late
Judge Hughes and w. E. Cameron
Editors Elan and Beirne and tn
meeting of the late Page Mccarthy
and Lawyer Mordecai are events wei
remembered by many now living
It was hoped that the era of per
-sonal conflicts between Publisher.
n dthose whom they criticise hqC
passed forever, but it seems that TIL
more serious accompaniment of chiv
airy is by no means extinct in the C!r
Dominion.
There IS more than one way to view
this latest incidt mt. 1t is general,
admittG3 that newspaper is pub
lished pro bono publico in one Sense
1t is supposed . stand as the champ
ion Of the people among whom circu

to be his duty to cal attention to con.

servant, and as such he is, in meas
ure, public property-that is wherc
the newspaper Goes not use language
unconventional, insolent or Gamagin!
to his reputation as an official or
citizen.
In the case referred to above Cap
tain Mccarthy may have reasons t.
believe his reputation and stan1inc
as former Mayor Of the capita! cit!
of his state is endangered, while Ed
itor Bryan may be satisfied re la:
exceeded his prerogatives as an ed
