take the necessary pains to keep toy
pistols, raw gunpowder, and giant fire
crackers out Of the hands of their chill.
dren, reserving to themselves also the
business of setting off the fireworks
in the evening.
If we must have a Fourth of July
celebration, let us try to be more SEN
sible about it, and so cut down the
number of slain and injured, as well
as the serious property loss of bygone
Pourths.
Guns and pistols are not suitable
playthings for children
The little boy who picks up his toy
, gun and playfully says, "Pll shoot you,
should be taught that even in play he
must not point weapon at another,
for it is in just such ways that respect
for life is lessened and involuntary
manslaughter is the result.
Thoughtful parents will not give chill
dren such toys. 1t has been the GUS
tom for many years to celebrate the
Fourth of July with noise and fire
works.
Children did not originate the prac-
tice. 1t is the method shown by their
parents, and so each year, we have a
slaughter of the innocents equal in
number to the loss in a great battle,
and, as in the days of old, when hui
man sacrifices we're laid on the altar,
we sacrifice to the nations glory hun
dreds of its embryo citizens.
The man who takes his life in his
hands and goes to battle for his coun-
try's protection gives his life to a
worthy cause, but the children whose
lives are sacrificed to celebrate the ma
tons birth have given their lives to
little purpose.
Is it not time that parents should
think of this subject, and see If they
cannot devise other methods Of cele-
brating our national holiday that will
not entail such sacrifices of life and
property? Is it not time that in an age
when peace and arbitration are in the
air, and when the great nations of the
earth are steadily advancing toward
the day when disputes and differences
will be settled by arbitration, that we
should begin to teach the children
higher ideals of patriotism than noise
and shooting?

rate laws of four states, Missouri,

were sustained by the supreme court
in a sweeping series of unanimous de-
cisions, read by Justice Hughes. The
court held however, that a general

roads and branch lines and was con-
fiscatory as to them. This means that
the state must allow these roads a
rate which will be compensatory. The
state utility commission now has the
power to fix these rates. All the 9TH
