Indiana aada, Nov Dad, to
 Have 1 Successor

Indiana polls, May e4 R-Another Taggart-Thomas D.. son of the late Tom-is under consideration for a prominent place in democratic state politics. ruled by his father for 70 many years.
 Goaip has it that the younger Taggart is slated to succeed Charles A. Greenhouse of Indianapolis as the Indiana member of the democratic national committee. Greenhouse, it is said. is eager to relinquish the post. .
 Taggart. according to close friends is far more interested in politics than generally believed. For many years he was his fathers confidant in things political, and it was to him that the late Samuel NJ. Ralston in 1924 sent word that he wished his name withdrawn from further con- sidcration by the national conven- tion as presidential candidate.
 Taggart has attended many na- tional conventions and was dele gate to the Houston meeting.
 He is 40 years old and was gradu- ated from Yale in 1909, Sheffield Scientific school. His hobby has been fine horses and he has a string of runners. Amyvaie was entered in this years Kentucky Derby. Voio- mite, e;06. trotter. will race for the big stakes in the grand circuit. This horse won the futurity at Lexington. Ky, last year.

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE

For some years now the can non cracker of beloved memo ny and all other toys supposed ly or actually dangerous in the hands of the young have been forbidden to children, who found in them one of Young Americas greatest joys before the new era of uplift and scien- tific criticism of all things gay and adventurous. And it ism t uncommon to hear of parents who, impelled by the newer codes of dietetics, limit the quantities of ice cream and so- da pop usually available as a stimulus of patriotic feeling in the young. We have even heard anxious and confused murlnurings against lemonade.
 For better or for worse-we know not which-the Fourth of July, like all other institut- ions inherited from the robust past, is in a fair way to be reg ulated out of all semblance of its former character. It is the fashion now to expect children to find delight and the inspir- ation to patriotic fervor in care fully supervised singsongs, in supervised play, in supervised marchings about. All this may be well enough. Doubtless the fire-crackar is dangerous and has been responsible for an appalling list of accidents and fatalities. We can recall per sonally many painful recollect- ions of burnt fingers and days of torture as a result of dalli- ance with the effusive noise makers. Let them go. But at the same time it must be con- ceded that they gave a great deal of character and distinct ion to the American Day of Days. Little might be said in the way of unfriendly criticism of the new style of Fourth if the people who fashioned it were a little more consistent, and if they seemed content to take a little of their own medi- cine.
 Freedom, which the Fourth commentaries, is still for those who can command it and not for others. So a good many
Hyder weekly herald., 1929-07-06

people, having seen to it sharp ly that there are no firecrack- CTS around the house and that the ice cream cone supply is regulated down to a healthy minimum, go forth and seek q few thrills by hurling power ful motor cars along open roads at 60 or 70 miles per hour. And the modern fast ard and highly sensitive motorcar in the hands of a reckless dri- yer is far more dangerous than any cannon cracker ever devised. Not a Fourth passes cut the newspapers have to print long lists of people hurt or killed in holiday traffic smashes. But we shall hear of no movement to authorize the children of the land to take away their parents automo- piles. No! Almost every one is also agreed that there are also other devices of a lethal char acter with which the elders of the family love to play crazily on the Fourth of July. The high explosives vended by the bootlegging fraternity, for ex- ample, are admittedly danger ous to health and the peace of the community.
 The Safe and Sane Fourth is )nly a myth. About all the re- formers have really accomp-
 iShed in that direction is to knock all the life out of once glorious holiday. How thrilling
 t must be to the youth of the
 and to be regulated and super yised, limited even to the quan- .ity of ice cream they may eat. And how inspiring to patriot ;c fervor to go to the recreat- lon park and hear Senator Pep ardash or Judge Squeezum de- liver a beautiful oration on the Battle of Bull Run or the History of the American Re public! And all the while many of those who enforce that kind of dry and soulless Fourth on the youth of the country under the sanity plea are themselves tending to make it more and more Unsafe and Insane.

HIS IDEA OF A JOKE
Philadelphia Booze Editor SANDERS
Kansas and His Bluff is Called

Jay House is the funny booze editor OF
the Philadelphia Public Ledger He
makes frequent visits back to his native
state of Kansas. Then when he returns
to Pennsylvania he tells the Ledger read
ers how much liquor he drank out in that
pioneer dry state.
Recently House returned from one OF
his Kansas visits with his usual supply OF
stories about his drinking exploits These
stories came to the attention Of Superin-
tendent j. A Mcclellan of the Kansas
Anti-Saloon League who wrote him a let
ter in mild protest of what he was saying
about Kansas folks.
House named in his reply a number OF
prominent folks who had given parties II
his honor on his recent visit. He declared
that in thirteen out of fourteen places
where he had been entertained liquor was
served. He also said that drinking had in
creased 100 per cent among women in the
last twenty years and that the young
generation is the ablest in the matter of
consumption. Ee estimated that there
are four drinking parties in every city
block every niellt in the year.
Superintendent Mcclellan gave the let
ter TO the attorney general of Kansas who
in turn called in Houses hosts to ask them
about the liquor drinking The six WHO
served any liquor Four of them declared
that no liquor whatever was to be found
at their parties. One of those involved
in the affair was the managing editor of
the Topeka State Journal. He claims TO
have letter from House in which House
declares that his charges of drinking were
made for the purpose of obtaining pub
licity. Furthermore, the Public Ledger
booze editor said in his letter to the edi-
tor of the Topeka Capital II haven't
bought any liquor in Topeka for more
than twenty years and haven't seen any
sold"
This instance shows how wet propa-
ganda is manufactured. This House fairy
story has been started on its way through
out the country and undoubtedly around
the globe. And how many people who
read it will understand that it is merely
booze editors idea of a joke?

IN OUT OF THE WET
Sargent Borders on the Humorous
in Discussing Law En-
forcement

John G. Sargent, former Attorney Gem
eral of the United States. struck note
of optimism in referring to the problem
of law enforcement in an address in New
Hampshire the other day:
1.-THE trainers of the Constitution of this
government" Sargent said. were full of
doubts and fears for its strength and
durability; and even though in the short
space of $50 years under its beneficent
principles there had developed the great
est nation the world has yet seen, there
be those who think, or say they think,
that unless some restrictive strands Of
comparatively recent weaving into it are
removed, the whole fabric will be rent to
shreds, and our people revert to barbar-
ism.
well, time will tell; so far the trend
seems to be the other way. The people of
the country appear to have known enough
to come in out OF the rain and as time
goes on less and less of them are disposed
to expose themselves to the trouble, dis
comfort and Inconvenience of getting wet
again"

and that no greater national service
can be given by men and women Of

ing out crime and outIawry by refus-
ing to participate in and condemning
all transactions with Illegal liquor;
therefore, be it
ResoIUed, That we pledge our moral

to take part in social functions where
