The Fourth of July comes to remind
US of the struggles and aspirations of
the fathers of the republic. They CROP

to uphold the cause that We have in
herited in view of the many and ef-
fective labors in it's behalf that have
been performed by men of the past.
With the feeling of gladness that we

THE OBsTRUCTIONIST FROM
OUTSIDE.

BY way OF the cheapest Cf cheap
technicalities the obstructionist from
outside has undertaken to stay the
march Of public improvements in
Rocl, Island. Somebody living in OF
tawa having a piece OF property has
attempted to hold up the already long
delayed paving OF Fifth avenue be
tween Nineteenth and Twenty-third
streets. No valid objection was made
10 the improvement. Some public
official was not given his property

claim set up. That is the basis Of
the argument OF course an objec-

promptly and very properly oYerruled,

sustain such a pretense for obstruct-
ing q matter OF public good ought to

gela found herself singularly alone in
the world.
Then came the terrible moment
when Angela learned that her fathers
fortune had been a mere gilded shell
which hid an immense burden of debt,
and when matters were cleared up
Angela pocketed the $1,000 that repre-
sented her patrimony and set forth to
make place for herself in the world.
Because of her youth and inexpe-
rience and ignorance she had happily
left her destination to mere chance,
and that is why she was speeding
westward toward a little cattle town
in the northwest with a vague idea of
opening a school or a millinery parlor

be the crying need of that particular
town.
When Angela and her three trunks
were left on the station platform,
while the little train snailed away
through a rift in the hills. she felt a
sudden panic at the loneliness. There
were the hills. the railroad tracks. the
neat little station and a dusty white
trail winding away into the blue haze
of distance.
In front of the platform was buck
board to which were harnessed a pair
of calico ponies. A tall man dressed
in flannel shirt with corduroy trousers
tucked into leather boots turned and
looked at her from under a wide brim-

majority Of the cases, could be saved
for valuable citizenship.
Illinois cannot afford such a sacrifice
to carelessness and ignorance, TO say
nothing OF the inhumanity that accom-
panies it.
Boards of health, physicians, public
officials in every city, town and village
Of the state should exercise their
authority to save the babies from
being slaughtered through the care
lessness or ignorance of their guar
dams and the criminal cupidity of
those who knowingly sell impure milk.
The large number of deaths among
infants during the months named in
the report from natural and unavoid-
able causes is lamentable enough.
Even some OF these lives might be
saved by the exercise of greater skill
and care.
So large a list of avoidable deaths
among infants is horrifying. There
must be some method Of preventing it.
