OTTAWA HAS SANE:
AND QUIET FOURTH

Ottawa passed thru a sane Fourth
yesterday, not withstanding the fact
that this country is in state of war
and patriotism and the military spirit
is rampant thruout. The change from
the old style of celebrating to the new
has been a hard blow to the munition
makers and the manufacturers OF
Fourth of July instruments of death
country. Instead of thousands Of
deaths and casualties as the result
of a memorial day observance we now
have a sane and dlenitied Fourth that
is more in keeping with the charac-
ter of the American people The noisy
murderOus Fourth was the invention
of the Fire Works maker 1t was
an appeal to the boistrous elements of
society and was not the manifestation
Of the spirit of patriotism from which
such things should mark their incep
ton.
Many homes have been saddened
by the death of one of its members
or an accident resulting from July
Fourth celebration, but this thing is
over, instead Of appropriating the
memorial Fourth with fear and tremb
ling the parents of children now look
forward to It's observation and the
same euumannty and peace of mind
as they do to Thanksgiving or a
Xmas day.
The most statutary and benehcient
law that has been passed in our city
and states are those that have had
to do with the regulation Of the
Fourth Of July observation. It has
been the means of conserving many
lives and removing the pail Of fear
that always settled upon the land the
night before the Fourth.
