Pierre, S. D., June 80. K. Stable
in, state insurance commissioner, has
issued an appeal for a safe n sane
celebration of the nations birthday an
niyersary, citing that the 1914 festivi-

deaths. the destruction of 700 buildings
and large amount of suffering among
manned and disfigured children. He
declares the toy pistol, firecracker and
other dangerous devices are not mate
rial aids in teaching the meaning of
liberty and patriotism. In conclusion
he says:
Let us so memorialize the Fourth of
July. 1915. that it shall signalize in the
states history not a day of suffering,
waste and destruction. but a day that
shall mark a contrast of preservation
and sanity with the awful devastation
Of life and property brought by these
horrible days to our unfortunate broth
ers on the other side of the great wa
