The Booze Clubs Dying.

A few years ago this newspaper
made many active and outspoken enc
mics (perhaps some friends also) by
getting after" the booze club bust
ness We considered it one of the
worst phases of the liquor traffic evil,
and productive of ruin to more young
men than all the bootleggers, dives
and other rum holes that spring up in
defiance of law-simply because Of the
semblance OF responsibility conferred
by old and revered secret orders. We
believe we had no small part in arous-
ing the general public to the menace.
and that the awakening has proved
the death blow to secret order booze
joints in dry territory.
AS living evidence that the yeast of
public disapproval is working we give
the following from the official publica-
ton of The Owls, published monthly at
South Bend. Ind. under the caption
THE Buffet Question" The article is
written by G. A. Kenderdine andreads
in part:
One Of the most pertinent ques-
tions before the nests of our Order at
the present time is that of maintaining
the buffet and club room feature.
Waving for the time being any dis
cussion of the moral issues involved,
let us consider the situation which our
Nests confront at the present time in
many states. The constantly rising
wave Of prohibition has resulted In the
enactment Of laws that make the con-
tinuance OF the buffet or the attempt
to keep on hand in club room intox-
icating liquors for use or distribution,
a penal offense. The Iowa law, for
instance. provides that every person
who shall directly or indirectly keep
or maintain by himself or by associat-

The Price We Paw.

AS has been repeatedly pointed out
number of sources, the responsibility
for Fourth of July accidents rests en-
tireiy with city governments The
regulation of fireworks and other
methods of celebrating the Fourth is a
matter for municipal action. The city
authorities. therefore, must be held
responsible personally. for accidents
and deaths which may occur in their
communities. Loss of life through
lockjaw, the burning to death of little
children, the manning and Gripping
OF citizens and the destruction of
by properly enacted and rigidly en-
forced ordinances. Restrictive ordi-
nances are usually looked on as half
way measures and are not enforced.
Absolute prohibition of the sale Of fire.
works in any form has been proven to
be the only means by which loss of life
and a heavy toll OF disabling and
mutilating accidents can be avoided.
In particular, if New York and Phil
delphia will take proper steps to
regulate this situation, the number Of
accidents next year can be practical
ly cut in half.
Thirty lives, mostly those of little
children. were lost this year as result
Of Fourth Of July celebrations. OF
these, one boy died of lockjaw follow
ing a blank cartridge injury, five per-
sons were killed outright by firearms,
ave were killed by the explosions of
fire bombs or torpedoes, six were in
jured by cannon and two by other
forms of fireworks. Eleven children,
mostly little girls. were burned to
death by fire from fireworks. Be-
sides the thirty fatal accidents there
were 1885 non-fatal injuries. One
person was totally blinded, eleven lost
one eye, five lost legs, arms or hands
and thirty eight lost one or more fin
gers. OF these injuries, 227 were due
to giant firecrackers, 100 were caused
by firearms and ninety-three by can
non. These figures taken from the

JOHN DAVIS LONG
By Honorable Henry Cabot Lodge,
United States Senator From
Massachusetts

We're apparent in all his speeches.
and Throughout his life he was
not only one of the most graceful
speakers in the United states put
one Of the most effective, for with
the humor went hand in hand the
capacity for vigorous argument,
and the genuine elOquence which
springs from ina gination and
sentiment of the best and truest
kind He was always kind and
helpful friend and very lovable
man. The people of the State
were proud of him, and admired
him, but | think that the pre-
dominant feeling toward Governor
Long. among the people of Mas
sachusetts, was that OF affection.
In everything that concerned the
State he took the deepest interest.
He was very proud of Massachu-
sets, and always a lover and stu
dent of her history. At the time
of his death he was one of the
vice presidents of the historical
Society, in which for years he had
taken a most active part. "A de-
voted son of Harvard, he served
long as overseer. and was presl-
dent of the board.
In the conventional phrase. he
has died full of years and honors,
but he was one of those men who
never grow old and his going
leaves a gap not only in the lives
of all his friends, but is felt as a
personal loss by the people at
large. who for so many years adj
mired and respected him, looked
up to him, were Influenced by his
advice. and listened so eagerly al
ways to his wise and kindly
words

The death Of Governor Long
takes from Massachusetts, one of
her most distinguished public SER

into politics. and Massachusetts,
conferred upon him the highest
Offices in her gift as he passed
from the Speakership of the
House to the Lieutenant Cover
norship and thence to the chair of
Winthrop and Andrews. On leav-
ing the governorship he went at
once to Congress and rose to i'm
mediate distinction as a member
of the House. He voluntarily
withdrew from public life after
serving in three congresses and
returned to the practice of his
profession, where he met with
great success.
In 1897 he became member Of
President Mckinley's Cabinet and
his service there as Secretary Of
the Navy, both under Mckinley
and Roosevelt, is fresh in every
ones mind. Since his return he
has been one of the leading citi-
