THE SANE FOURTH.

The National Fire Protection asso'
citation 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 oeen
made in reducing the number OF Kill
ed and injured during the last dozen
years and further measures in the
same direction are urged
1t is, the pamphlet says, perhaps too
much to expect complete return u
sanity: but some effort a. least may
be made by all cities and towns To-
ward leading their people into more
moderate and more intelligent forms

A SENSIBLE VIEW.

This is the way Tom Fitch. vice
vice president of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Engineers hands it out to
his fellow members:
II you don't like the law then use
your votes to change 1t. But while
It is law, drop the club and knife
and the gun and the dynamite bomb
and obey the law. If there be work
er who has what you consider to be
ba dtaste and the poor judgment not
to belong to union, you are not
Obliged to associate with him or greet
him with friendliness when you
meet. But you are obliged not to as
sault or modest him. He may be. 10
your opinion, scab. but he has le-
gal right to work for whomsoever he
pleases, and for whatever number OF
hours in each day he pleases. Per.
suade him to stand by his fellow
workman if you can. That is right.
But keep your hands off him. You
may be sure that if you attempt VIC
lence there will step to the front a
deputy United States marshal who
will say to you with voice Of 75,O0O,-
900 of people, and with the bayonets
of an army behind him, LET that man
pass to his labors."
I say it to you, gentlemen, and
I say it in all seriousness, that
if this government is to endure,
this thing must stop, for no gov
eminent can permanently endure
which long permits bands OF insured
tionists to override the constitutional
rights of it's citizens, as this body of
vampires has been doing.

Fruit trees in the parks OF towns
and cities throughout the United
States, as a means to make living
better and cheaper is a proposal to
the American Society for Thrift in
Chicago, which will have serious con-
sideration This takes rank with an
other proposal that the plan adopted
in many parts of Europe and some
parts Of this country of lining coun-
try roads with fruit trees be adopted
here also; fruit to defray the cost Of
the upkeep of the public roads. The
idea of putting more fruit trees into
the parks was proposed by a Chicago
pastor who was awakened to the NOR.
al Importance of thrift. Other pas
tors, rectors and priests are taking
up cudgels against the extravaganza
of the day and in some cases coop
Grating with the Thrift movement,
launched by the Society for Thrift.
Rev. Almer Pennewel advocated fruit
trees In parks, saying: 1T is said
that King Solomon made gardens
and parks and planted all manner Of
fruit trees in them I have thought
a great deal more Of Solomon since
read that. Why not have trees in
our parks from which the multitude
may pluck fruit and eat while they
rest and play?"

Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Knight are each
eighty five years OF age, the former
having passed the milestone March IS
the latter reaching the date in thu
previous December. On June 20. 1919
at Kingston, Ontario, the minister
Archbishop Stewart of the Church OF
England who had united in marriage
the par snts of MI. Knight, performed
the ceremony, the ring service being
used, which welded Peter Knight and
Catherine Louisa Rowe. On August
Is Of the SANE year, this couple de-
parted from Canada and came to Iowa,
locating at Keokuk. Two years later
they moved to farm east Of Salem
where they remained five years. In
September, 1855, they settled at
Salem, at that time village OF very
few good dwellings with log cabins
predominating, set on patch OF
prairie land, not a tree within its
limits. At their present home IN
the east part Of town this venerable
couple have resided forty-seven years
and are justly claimed pioneers Of this
town. having lived in it fifty-nine
years. This estimabls couple is a
type of the characters that have with
stood together the alternating
changes of time, its joys, its sorrows,
its hardships. Two respected citizens.
they enjoy the esteem Of wide circle
of friends, to whom they relate with
pride, incidents of their early life in
Iowa when they could behold the wild
prairies and SEE the broad acres trans
formed from a wilderness into one OF
the richest states in the union: when
they could see the log cabins that

give place to beautiful dwellings and
the unsightly lots in the little Quaker
village change to pretty homes where
many fruit and stately forest trees
give friendly refuge for rest. All
these years have passed and still Mr..
and Mrs. Knight, although not strong
are agile. They have nice veg stai5le
garden in which the former delights
to spend much time as is shown by
the luxuriant growth and dearth of
weeds. Their love Of flowers Is evil
denced by the wealth of blossoms
about the lawns. The wife still aids
in the household duties. Three chill
dren were born to them, one of whom
Miss Laura, survives and assists her
aged parents in the home work.
Three grandchildren, Ieorin, Samuel
and Chester Rhode; two great grand
children, Helen and Bertha, little
daughters OF Mr.. and Mrs. Leorin

circle Of near kindred. On June 20

ing chance to minimize the disastrous
results Of our public folly during the
years 1t may require to inspire in our
people desire for rational kind OF
celebration. And such desire must
be inspired. 1t is the duty of every
city to arrange for its people suitable
amusements or exercises definitely
calculated to educate them in ma
tional observance of this historic hol-
iday. Habits Of folly can be most
easily eliminated by substitution OF
something better. The things city
can do to interest it's citizens in sane

in the past two years have taken
steps in this direction are already re-
