There is some discussion about the
celebration of the Fourth of July. 1t
is patriotically urged that the day
should be observed in safe and sane
manner, without waste of good powder
and without the usual Fourth of July
casualty list. There is not the least
question about how we ought not to
celebrate the Fourth this year. We
think the public at large is fully agreed
that fireworks and frecrackers are en-
tirely out of order. The country is at
war, and what we want is common
sense Fourth of July. 1t is nothing to
argue about. The thing is obvious.
The soldiers in France will furnish all
the fireworks that the Independence
Day Of America calls for, and will
make good use of all the powder we
can send them. The casualty list over
there will be the only one the nation
can afford. Our part in the celebration
will be to back up the soldiers and
sailors in all possible ways, and we
can do that every day and all the time.
