\ BETTER SPIRIT.

AS far as reported the casualties OF
the Fourth OF July this year total nine
dead. sci injured and S76.O35 fire loss
in the United States. Last year the
dead numbered sixteen. the injured
7s4 and the fire loss was S122,62O.
Ten years ago the fatalities numbered
465. the injured 1888 and the fire
loss was $4,000.
The difference between the records
OF 1914 and 1903 is the work Of pre-
vention. OF the campaign for sane
celebration OF the Fourth OF July 1t
is a marked tribute to organized eff
fort. Without that effort our national
holiday would have continued TO be
day OF slaughter. suffering and de-
struction. With it we are in a fair
way 10 make it one OF the ss :est as
we'll as sanest days OF the year. The
plan OF campaign has rivaled not only
education in rational observance of
the anniversary OF the declaration Of
independence but the enactment OF
laws prohibiting the manufacture,
sale and use OF explosives.
The influence exertcd by the educa-
tional campaign has brought adults
TO realization of the horrors OF the
character OF celebration into which
the American people had fallen and
their influence in turn has diverted
the minds OF the young from the bar
barous customs OF the past Ameri-
cans. old and young. are beginning to
understand that outside of the ques-
ton OF safety the Fourth Of July is a
much more enjoyable day without
firecrackers. bombs. cannons and
rockets
Ii will contribute 10 the peace Of
mind of the people TO feel that hence
forth from year TO year there will be
less and less of disturbing sounds and
distressing screams and that on the
nations birthday they need have no
more anxiety on behalf OF their child
rem than on any other day. And that
is not all. AS the barbarous practices
OF the past and present disappear a
new spirit will take possession Of the
people. A more refined and keener
appreciation of the Significance of
the day will obtain. Patriotism will
be clothed in its proper raiment of
sentiment and sense rather than in
the gaudy tatters Of sound and nom
sense

that patriotism is love OF country and

THE SURPRISING FACT

The following was first printed as
an editorial in the American Wool and
Cotton Reporter:
"A careful study of the wooden in
dustry brings TO light the fact that
conditions are much better than some
would have us believe Conversations
with several prominent factors con-
firm our previously expressed belief
that the outlook is brighter than at
any time in the recent past, and that
business is well past the low point.
with indications that the improve
ment shown is 10 be permanent and
OF a steady growth. Duplicates are
coming forward in fair volume, with
the result that more than one mill
has been forced 10 secure outside ma
chinery in order TO take care OF busi-
ness now in hand.
Mills in this condition are very
anxious 10 avoid betraying the fact.
lest their competitors encroach on
their preserves, and 10 this attitude
may be attributed. TO considerable
extent, the prevalence of the idea that
the wooden business is abnOrmally de-
pressed. Up 10 the present time 4 ere
has been no indication on the part OF
the manufacturing clothier OF any in
tention TO divert his purchases from
the regular channels OF trade toward
foreign fabrics. nor do we think there
need be fear OF such action in the
future"

WE took 10 the hills for our Fourth

Bearing on the question as to when
prosperity is to return and why bust

view of j. S. Bache & Co, New York
bankers describes the business situa-
ton as follows: 1--WE are passing
through the dullest times in business
that we have experienced in years.
That there is no glaring evidence of
this is due to the fact that we have
come 10 this condition gradually and
not by the usual step of panic. Instead
of falling over the precipice as we
generally do in America. as the result
of an explosion, we have climbed
gradually down the side of the cliff,
supporting ourselves on the way down
by clinging to overhanging shrubs of
Hope until we are near the bottom of
the valley, arriving without many &C
cidents and contusionS on the way
down. This has taken some years,
during which the hand-ro-mouth

WASHINGTON, July President
Wilson has lined UP on the right side
i'm the matter of the conservation of
water power. Acting on his explicit
orders the Adamson bill is to be en-
tirely redrafted in accordance with
the ideas of Secretaries Lane and
Houston. The Adamson bill was put
forward by a combination of reaction
airy democrats and republicans, rep
reSenting the water power interests,
and with the encouragement of I'm
derWood they expected to put over a
bill which was entirely in the interest
of the hydro-electric trust. Lane and
Houston came to the rescue of Con-
gresham Kent, Lenroot. and others
who have led the fight for the conser-
vationiStS.
President Wilson says that business
was not discussed in his visit with
]. p. Morgan. The presidents state
ment is opposed 10 most of the arti-
cles which were published on this sub
ject in the daily press.
Consideration Of the trust program
in the senate will consist largely in an
attempt to add TO the house bill what
are known as the Stevens amend
Representative r. b. Stevens of New
Hampshire, progressive democrat,
and they embody the ideas Of Louis
Brandeis, with regard to providing
that the federal trade commission
shall have power TO investigate and
forbid unfair competitive practices.
The so-called labor exemption
amendments will also be fully consid-
cred and there will be debate on the
question whether they really exempt or
only seem to exempt labor, and Wheth-
er they really give workmen the right
to picket, organize, strike and boy

The Cat That Came Back.
(Casopolis Vigilant)
The following poem is dedicated to
the people OF Daley by the poet lau-
reate Of that village:
! ST Plunkard had a cat, you know,
That wouldn't stay away;
| Take him wherever 81 would
That cat back home would stray.
| That people are the same, We see
In every passing day;
/, They pack their grips, and go, they
say
Yes, go away to stay.
But when a few short hours crowd
Twixt them and their old home
They turn around and rub their eyes
And say, Whats this I've done?
Am 1 TO earn my own spondu
And all expenses pay?
I'll turn my face and like Sis cat
Back home sure will stray.
Assume my boldest attitude
No matter what folks say,
And maybe they will think that 1
Have never been away.

and at the end of twelve months told
his mother that she was right-it would
be better that he should cease to dwell
on that which was dead to him. he
would visit his pictures no more.
Walter at this time made another
discovery-that If he could not make

at nothing. He resumed his painting

Too many farmers have not
