Part the Fool
and His TINT
(EDTTORIAL)

(EDTTORIAL)
NOV that we have been back to od-fashioned Fourth
IN of July normacy once again and have made all
the streets and public places of fair city unsafe
the holiday for democracy and unsafe for repub
cancy and unsafe for everything else that lives and
breathes is subject to fire hazard, let's abolish the
giant cracker permanently
At least a downtown and informal means Of social
intercourse.
There is type of moron who seems never one-tenth
abundant for AS hours just prior to the ami
versary of the Declarations adoption and during and
for some hours after said birthdays close.
The class of numskull to which we refer is 99S7
per cent male with just an occasional witess woman
scrambled in. These people herd together at transfer
points and other congested corners with unlimited
supplies OF dynamite and for hours pass the time in
mirhfuly salutng all passersby with detonations and
unfortunate as to invade their sector these Boob
Berthas gleefuly redouble the bombardment.
SMALL CHILD BEING LED BY THE HAND GIVES
THEM UNUSUAL SCOPE FOR ORIGINALITY AND
PLEASURE Open windows and sedans further
delight these Firecracker Heroes
IF there only some means available for enrolling
all these wtngs on, say, July /. and placing them
in large subterranean masonry vaults about as close
together they could comfortably stand beside the
piles of their ammunition and leaving them there by
themselves for a week with only few deaf and dumb
policemen in gas masks and armor coats to bring them
new stacks OF giant crackers and matches, The Star
would be thoroly in favor Of continuing these old
fashioned INT sorees.
But unfortunately we lack the masonry chambers
As all our public officials pledged to policy OF
retrenchment, a bond issue to build set does lot
feasible.
The only alternatives remaining
remain sane TO retire beyond the city limits whenever
the Hun Offensive Of Early July approaches the zero
hour. Or
(2) To put the old asbestos blanket back on the
Dynamite Hoodums.
They haven't any sense, and they ought to be kept
away from fire and high explosive.
