Trusting men imprisoned for vfo-

topics discussed at the annual meet
ing Of the National Committee on
Prison Labor, held at Heather Dell
Farm, the home Of Adolph Lewisohn,

National Committee heard Of the
magnificent highways which prison
ers are building, miles away from
any prison building, guarding them
selves and taking pride in their work.
A strong appeal was made at the
meeting against capital punishment,
based In part on its futility to prevent
murder and its evil effect on prison
officials, tending TO keep men Of high
type out of prison work.
The injustice OF the sentences inn
posed by many judges was referred

THE SANE FOURTH.

The National Fire Protection asSo-
ciatioE has issued pamphlets in the in
terest of the proper safeguarding OF
the celebration of the Fourth of July.
Figures are quoted showing the re-
markable progress which has been
made in reducing the number OF killed
and injured during the last dozen
years and further measures in the
same direction are urged.
II is. the pamphlet says, perhaps too
much to expect a complete return to
sanity; but some effort at least may
be made by all cities and towns to-
ward leading their people into more
moderate and more intelligent forms
OF celebration. II explosives must be
used the authorities can limit their
use to the public parks during certain
hours of the day, where the folly
hunters may kill and main themselves
and each other to hearts content, with
out injuring other people, or destroy
ing property by fire. The firing off of
explosives among the closely built
shingle-roofed frame houses, which
compose the greater part of our cities,
Is wholly in accord with the reckless
spirit of Americans regarding fire.
Il every OL july
cities and towns were given a thor
Ough cleaning OF rubbish, and all use
Of explosives then restricted as TO
time. and place. the police and public
wardens might have at least a fighting
chance TO minimize the disastrous re-
suits Of our public folly during the
years it may require to inspire in our
people a desire for rational kind of
celebration. And such a desire must
be inspired. II is the duty OF every
city TO arrange for its people suitable
amusements or exercises definitely
calculated TO educate them in a ma
tiOnal observance of this historic holt
day. Habits of folly can be most easily
eliminated by a substitution OF some
thing better. The things a city can
do TO interest its citizens in a sane
and wholesome celebration are unlim-
tied, and the municipalities which in
the past two years have taken steps
in this direction are already receiving
national praise for their wisdom and
their high sense of civic responsibility.
