A NEW FOURTH
Reasons Why We VIII Have Pa
triotic Fourth Without Fireworks

Once upon a time long, long ago a
great event took place in American
history. AS the importance of that
event came to be duly appreciated by
the people, they agreed that its ami
versary should be fttingly observed.
They felt that it should be holiday
on which boys and girls should be re-
minded of the sacrifices made and
hardships endured by the men and
women of 1776 in order that they and
we might enjoy the privileges and
benefits of freedom.
Our worthy ancestor, John Adams
showed his Characteristic foresight
when he said in a letter to his wife.
This fourth day of July, 1776. will be
the most memorable epoch in the
history of America. l am apt to be-
lieve that it will be celebrated by
succeeding generations as the great
anniversary festival. 1t ought to be
concentrated by solemn acts of de-
votion to God Almighty. 1t ought to
be solemnized with pomp and parade,
with shows, games, sports guns, bells,
bonfres and Examinations from one
end of this continent to the other
and from this time forward forever
more"
The guns and bonfire part of
the celebration was easy to carry out
and appealed strongly to the popu-
lace. Yankee ingenuity developed all
sorts of noise-producing devices until
the Fourth became time of unre-
strained dissipation. especially on the
part of boys, large and small, around
with firecrackers, pistols, torpedoes,
giant crackers and toy cannon. What
was meant to perpetuate great idea
became menace.
But we patriots of Bennington have
been pioneers as advocates of the
safe and sane celebration idea for
several years past. This year, when
our great nation is facing a financial
crisis, we are going a step farther.
After serious deliberation, the com
mittee in charge of the arrangements
has decided not to ask, according to
the usual custom, those generous citi-
zens who always contribute to every
patriotic or civic cause, for donations
for a display of fireworks. Never be-
fore i'll Bennington has there been
such loyal support OF charity. both at
home and abroad as this year 1t
seems hardly in keeping with the pre-
yailing spirit Of economy to eXpend
$500 upon fireworks which afford us
only an hour Of superficial pleasure.
Instead we may turn DIR contribu-
ton to something which win give per
manent benefit aud enjoyment
Accordingly we vii celebrate with
games, sports. bells, bonfres and il
Nominations and parade and it gives
us much satisfaction to realize that
we find jnstification in so noble a
hero as John Adams. Nj the patrio-
tic organizations are united in this
sentiment. The d. A. r., the w. r.
c.. Sons of Veterans, the Camp Fire
Girls, together with all the play
ground attendants, personifying
young America win join in making
an imposing Peace Parade Music
and bonfires viii give further express
sion to our patriotic feelings.

The Vice of Our Politics.

Politics is a profession, just as
much as medicine or law. 1t is a
business that requires study, train.
ing, and regular apprenticeship, as
we'll as natural intelligence and
infinite human tact.
Young men who discover in them
selves an inclination and an aptitude
tor politics should be educated as for
any other profession, by the lessons
and the experience and the example
of those who have preceded them.
Two things, unfortunately, make
such professional training for poll
tics very difficult. The financial re-
ward for honest political effort is in
adequate, as compared with that
offered by other professions; and the
reward is not only inadequate, but
uncertain, for it depends on circum-
stances that few can for see, and
that no one can entirely control.
Under these conditions, young,
energetic men who seek first to
establish a solid financial position in
the world cannot think Of politics.
The career is left either to those-.n
this country very lew-who start
with independent means, and who
follow it from patriotism and a de.
sire for reputation, or to those who
must make a living out oft honest
ly, if possible, but in any case a
living. Hence come a thousand
evils-grait, patronage, desire for
fat Office, the constant tendency
TO confuse the welfare of the country
with the welfare of a few in.
dividuals, who, perhaps Justly feel
that they should be compensated for
time and sacrifice, but who are too
likely TO make the compensation
their first object and good govern
ment their second
The evil Is more easily seen than
remedied; but at least the facts
should be earnestly impressed upon
all young men who aim 20 enter
politics. Academic instructors, and
still more those who have practiced
politics honorably themselves
should repeat with conviction that
the career demands loyal devotion
and sacrifice, and that the man
never gains enduring praise in it
who thinks Of reward before he
thinks of service.
The serious vice Of our system
perhaps Of democratic systems gen.
erally-is the belief that politics
means not something 70 do, but
something TO get.
