legtness ON the part of citizens gen.
orally to the special fire dangers of
the day actually gave us a fire loss
lower than the daily average. Thus
lives, eyes, limbs mad property were

that real fire prevention prevents am

In Z great battles for American
liberty there were Lilo killed and
wounded. Compare this with the an

en-. Then draw your own reflections.
There is still room to replace love
of noise with love of humanity, and to
supplant meaningless celebration
with one of real patriotism. Let picnic
band concerts, chiIdren's parades,
pageants and flag drills take the
place of barbarous uproar and gun
powder.
This Will rob independence Day of
none OF its genuine pleasures and will
rehabilitate it as day of real ne
joicing and of true patriotism.
As in former years, we also now
urge thorough cleaning up of all
rubbish, and restriction of the use
of fireworks both as to time and place
Police officers should strictly en-
force such restrictions, also all city
ordinances and the state laws relat-
ing to fireworks. We call special at
tendon to Chapter BIB, Laws of 1911,
and Section 1914 of the Revised
Statutes of this state.
We hope, that city governments civ.
ic bodies and all good citizens will
cooperate to make the coming
18th" day of pleasure, games, a.
musement and patriotism, instead of
a day of mutilation, blindness, lock-
jaw, powder1poisoning, death and de-
vastation by fire.

Our Infant Industry

THE development of the
automobile industry in the
last FIVE years has been so
marvellous that leading author
tiles hold that within the next
few decades 100000 motor
cars will be in use in the United
States.
These figures stagger the
imagination. But statisticians
tell that 100000 automobiles
were licensed during the year
1913 and are now in actual use,
and that during the coming year
100000 new cars will be manu-
factured and sold.
1t is now definitely stated that
the Standard Oil company has
completed arrangements to en-
ter the automobile industry by
purchasing several large factories
and increasing their capacity to
100000 machines in a single
season, and that the prices of
the machines to be nanufac-
tured will range from $3.50 TO
$1,000. Other manufacturers
have completed plans for great
~ increased productions These
developments have caused the
leading authorities in the in
dustry to issue the forecast that
within another 10 years there
will be not less than 100000
automobiles in actual service.
With the industry in its pres
ent state of development, there
is enough money invested in au-
tomobiles in the United States
to build four Panama canals.
The Keokum dam, recently
opened at a cost of $27, ,O0O,0 600
and generating 100000 horse
power Of electrical current, was
regarded as one of the mid
continent marvels.
And yet the horsepower ca
pacity of the automobile engines
in use in the United States is
