CELEBRATING THE FOURTH.

A general letting up on the safe
and sane Fourth of July idea is re-
sponsible for the increase in the
number of fatalities reported over
the holiday. II is to be regretted
that there has been a backward step
in this regard. While we realize that
the small boy delights to make a
noise and also that noise seems to
be the most appropriate means of
celebrating the glorious Fourth, the
fact remains that the noise-making
appliances these days are deadly.
They are vastly different from the
old fashioned fire crackers that the
fathers and grandfathers of the pres
ent young America knew. 1t is little
short of a crime to put the present
Fourth of July toys" in the hands
of children.
We speak of dynamite and TINT
with a certain amount of awe under
ordinary circumstances. and as for
placing any of the stuff in the hands
of small boys. that would be the
fartherest from our thoughts. Yet,
when Fourth of July comes these
same deadly explosives with a little
red paper wrapped around them be-
come the playthings of the young
sters of almost any household.
The Fourth of July is a great
occasion in American history and the
date should be fttingly observed, but
some suitable method should be
adopted rather than giving h
children deadly explosives to play
with. Here, truly. is a great oppor-
tunity for some patriotic organiza-

PAYMENTS NEED ATTENTION.

There is no work more urgent
upon the Board of Aldermen at the
present time than the repairing of
Smith and State streets. These are
the city's two principal business
thoroughfares and their present con-
.dition is a disgrace. The repairing
of these two streets should have
been the first to be considered. 1t is
very commendable to have the main
automobile route through the city in
first class condition and the deplor-
able shape of Prospect, Market and
Sheridan streets certainly warranted
prompt attention, but hat does not
mean that the most important
streets from the city's point of view
should be ignored. By all means
get Smith and State streets in first
class condition as 500 as possible.
The surprising thing is that the
aldermen should have stopped to
consider whether the work should
be done at this time or not.
And while on the subject of street
improvement attention might well
be directed to Maple street, especial
.ly between Smith street and New
Brunswick avenue. There is a great
deal of travel on Maple street due for
one thing to the fact that the post
office is located there, but the con-
dition of the pavement makes travel
very difficult.
Sooner or later all the brick pave
ments in the city will have to be
given attention. Washington street
is little better than Maple street. and
Jefferson street and Madison ave-
nue. are far from being comfortable
to ride over. The excellent work
done on New Brunswick avenue
when that thoroughfare "a resur-
faced makes It desirable that all the
brick pavements in the city be treat
ed in a similar name as soon as
possible. Brick is too noisy in the
first place, and the evidence that we
now have of it failing to stand up
under the wear given it in this city
makes it inadvisable to have any
more pavements of that material.
The aldermen could do 40 better
tonight than to begin with State and
Smith streets and then map out a
program for the Improvement of the
brick paved streets just as soon as
the city's finances will permit.

rurE rNrERoHuRcH MOVEMENT.

The apparent failure of the inter-
church movement must be dis
-cot1raging to those who had looked
upon this getting together of the
many protestant denominations as
an indication Of church unity that
mieht eventually do away with the
various differences that keep these
people apart and be the means of
bringing all under one organization.
There is nothing that the Christian
church needs more today than the
uzdtinx OF forces for the carrying on
Of its great work. The church
lacks the influence that 1t should
have In many communities largely
because IT is 80 divided. Petty
5eazousies and false ambitions keep
the denominations apart. Much time
and energy is wasted over various in
*srpretations OF certain passages OF
scripture while the real work Of the

COX AGAINST HARDING.

IVA AOAlNOL 0AfNDAN1.
The Democrats. after balIoting for
three days. have finally named the
governor of Ohio as their standard
bearer In the coming campaign. This
Val that Ohio will be the battle
ground.
1t Is rather remarkable hat while
both candidates come from ohio
both are newspaper publishers,
Senator Harding being the publisher
OF the Marion sta and Governor Cox
the publisher of the Dayton Daily
News
lake the Republican party. the
Democrats have selected a man who
= little known to the country at
large. He served two terms in con-
gress. however. and In Ohio he has
an enviable record. having been
elected governor of that state for
three terms.
Governor Cox Is the proverbial
farmers boy. born of poor but
honest parents and has made his
own mark in the world serving rs
teacher. newspaper reporter, editor
and then newspaper owner. He raj
secretary to a congressman and then
became q congressman himself.
After that he became governor.
1t 10 rather significant that at such
a critical period as this in the
nations history both old parties
should choose men of what might be
termed second rate craftsmanship
for their leaders. There are men in
both parties who would appear 70
the country as being much better
fitted for the presidency at this time
thar either Harding or Cox.
There is no doubt that the fac
that the Republicans picked their
candidate from Ohio and the desir-
ability of securing the electoral vote
OF that state, Influenced the Demo.
Gratis In the end to choose the Ohio
governor. Also, although Governor
Cox remained silent on the prohibi-
ton issue. thereby fitting in well
with the platform adopted by the
democrats, he was acceptable TO the
"wets" 1t is worthy of note that. tl:e
tw enty EIGHT votes of New jersey.
after rea.izing the hoplessness OF the
Edwards candidacy. went to Cox and
there remained to the end.
Jrst as it may be said OF Harding
that his record is such hat little can
be found against him. 81 it is with
Cox. The campaign ought, at least,
to be free from personalities and
mud-slinging tactics.
Both parties having chosen men
who are pretty evenly matched as
far as personality and ability goes.
the election ought to be fought out
on the issues alone. In this respect
the Democrats would appear tc have
the better Of the Republicans for the
latter are too indefinite as to just
what they stand for, their weak
kneed. pus~sy-footing plank on the
League Of Nations being particularly
questionable at a time like this
Both parties "ducked" on the pro-
hibitton issue.
The Republicans, however. have an
advantage In the general feeling of
the country against the present adj
mlnistration. but It is apparent that
there Ii not going to be the walk
ovsr that the Republicans anticipat-
cd q few months ago. The fact that
ne Republican senators made such

saused the Republicans to lose much

~ Chrysanthemum

nearly eight inches in diameter, prac.

color. The petals completely cover

stem. would seem to be a floral
