FOURTH OF JULY
MISCHIEF

There are great many people who
tional observances of the might be.
fore" but comparatively few who
will apologize for serious mischief.
The police and parents should re-
member this distinction.
For instance, It came to the ears
of the writer a year or two ago that
in a neighboring town the boys had
taken an old coach pulled it on Il
bonfire and burned 1t up. IN their eX-
element and fun loving spirit, II new
er occurred to them that the coach
had any value. Yet as matter of
fact, 1t was a highly priced historic
al relic, associated with the early
history of the place. 1t had been re-
cited in the antique style by local
club and was used both on celebra.
tons. and for occasional outings to
nearby towns Preserving it was a
pretty sentiment, and 1t was a real
loss when it was destroyed
Yet there were some parents who
urged as the excuse that anything
left around loose the night before,
could be considered fair game for
the boys. IL any OF their property
had inadvertently been left out and
destroyed. they would have Thought
differently.
Boys and young men should use
some brains, even on July Fourth
racket. There is no excuse for any
destruction of valuable property. II
they want a bonfire, they can. always
find plenty of stun that needs to be
burned up, and an old packing case
makes just as good blaze as a
mans gate or his old but still disable
wagon.
July Fourth Is now better regulat'
ed than It used to be. The murder
Gus cannon crackers, creators of the
lockjaw and blindness, are now very
largely thing OF the past. Boys
who are hurt on ordinary small ex-
plosives show n degree of careless
ness that would expose them to in
Jury at some other time. Public
sentiment is not yet ready to stop all
disturbance on the national holiday.
But II is sick of the destructive hres
and needless accidents that start
from the wanton carelessness of the
fool acts.

THE PEOPLES CONFIDENCE
IN MR.. HUGHES

Whatever else the national con-
ventions decided last month. they
fixed the character of the Presiden-
tial campaign once and for all in
this respect. It is to be contest be-
tween two outstanding personalities
conducted on high level and with
iess reference than formerly to par
ty lines and traditions. Less than
ever before in our history, since the
time of Washington. will men be
moved to vote for either Of the can
didates merely because he is Demo-

There are literally millions of Am

form or propaganda that will determ'

FOURTH OF JULY
TETANUS

Back in 1905 there were 104 deaths
In the United States from Fourth OF
July tetanus, this figure representing
about the average annual mortality
In 1914 as result OF the institution
OF better prophylactic treatment by
physicians and the widespread agita'
ton for safe and sane Fourth, the
number was reduced to 3. A year
ago the U. S. Public Health Service
expected and predicted that every
youngster in the United States would
ne safe from this disease, basing its
estimate on what had already been
accomplished When the returns
came in II was found that boy IN
Maine had been injured, developed
tetanus and died. That single rat
ality was oaly one among seVera'
hundred thousand occurring In tho
United States during 1915, but 1t re-
suited from Fourth of July tetanus
or lockjaw, a preventable disease and
was therefore an unnecessary death.
The loss of this boy makes 1t neces
sary to again disseminate informa
ton regarding this wholly avoidapie

THE SOLDIER
SPIRIT

1t is interesting, in looking over
the newspaper reports of the mobil-
izing of the militia for border service
to note how many times 1t is said
that the call is received with enthu-
siasm. To the man of middle aged
prudence there would seem little
ground for personal congratulation on
the part of the soldier.
These soldier boys are going to n
hot country In the climax IT summer
weather. There will be dusty and
thirsty hikes oyer barren desert.
They have to meet foe that knows
no laws of war, that will snipe and
run regardless of any soldierly code
of ethics.
Many OF these boys are married
men with little families. Others have
mothers or ether relatives depending
upon them. Few of them regret the
adventure on the ground of their
own personal risk. But many of
them must feel sober as they think
OF home les.
Yet scarcely any note of this feel.
ing comes to the surface. Youth is
restless and Graves adventure. Many
of these young fellows never went
farther from home than the next
large town. A journey across :.
dozen states, new scenes and novel
aspects OF civilization, contact with
the fiery people who torment our
southwestern boundary. these things
seem to them an alluring experience
No doubt lot OF patriotic feeling
is burning in these khaki dressed
figures on their way to a mysterious
unknown. There Is sense that in
the patient fcrbearance of the past
years. the old stars and stripes have
been trailed on the ground, and that
IL is up to some one to plant the
fear OF tho Lord in the hearts of the
heather. Our country may be land
of dollar chasers, as the Old World
SAYS of us. Nevertheless thsre Is a
very ardent sentiment of American
ism in the hearts OF our young men,
as those who provoke 1t too far will
find out.
