HAIL TO A SAFE FOURTH!

independence Day of old was cele-
brated with reckless abandon. Hun
dreds of persons of all ages lost their
lives playing with fireworks, guns and
explosives. Others were drowned or
killed in motor accidents. Now, the
Fourth divides catastrophe "honors"
with almost any weekend; except by
virtue, of the ceaseless efforts of safe
ty organizations and accident and fire
prevention workers, it is apt to be a
shade safer. This is because people
are keyed to it's imminent hazards.
They are safely conscious.
Last year, on the morning after, "
the Associated Press reported 118 mo-
tor vehicle deaths, 80 drownings, 10
fireworks fatalities and 26 deaths
from other causes-a total of 245.
This is disgraceful enough, but super
Tor to the 1881 toll of 354. No one
knows the extent of serious or minor
injuries, because only fraction of
them is reported. The National So
ciety for the Prevention of Blindness
estimates that so persons lose COM
pletely the sight of one or both eyes
and that 500 more suffer minor eye

A LESSON FROM CAMP KITS

Latest investigation in the Senate
paralleling the Morgan inquiry is that
conducted by the Senate committee
on military affairs into the cost of the
camp kits provided for the workers
of the forests. The amount involved
is of course "pin money" when COM
pared to the sums which roll glibly
from the tongues of the investigators
and the witnesses in the Wall Street
investigation.
But although it develops that the
100000 camp kits cost Uncle Sam
only a mere 100000 more than they
should, there is lesson to be learned
from this unpleasant incident. Some
body was to blame for buying the out
fits at a price higher than was neces-
sary even after warnings had appar-
emily been given by the War Depart
ment that the price was too steep.
Just why the deal was contaminated
and who was to blame remains to be
developed. Everybody connected with
the incident has his own story. There
has been a general application of the
rules of the good old game of passing
the buck.
The lesson to be learned is that gov
ernmental bureaucracy remains ex-
II
pensive and inefficient in any and all
national administrations, regardless Of
their personal or political compost
ton. Bureaucracy just cannot be eff
fcient, and the more bureaus involved
or to be consulted the greater the in
efficiency and the less chance for as
sessing the blame properly when there
is loss.
The remedy lies not in changing
the faces in the bureaus but in abol-
ishing the bureaucratic system itself.
No matter whether the bureaucrats
act in good faith or not, no doubt
they generally do, the fact remains
that they are generally wasteful and
inefficient. Government operation of
business and industry just will not
work in democratic government like
ours. Yet there are some people fool
ish enough to belive that prosperity
will only return if we have the gov
eminent managing everything. What
an economic calamity this would be
can only be gathered from the results
we have of bureaucratic operation to-
day. What we need is not government
operation of private business but a
return to the old ideals of American
freedom and the proper realization on
the part of business itself, of its du-
ties and responsibilities to the ma
ton.

In recognition of the chief holiday
hazards, fireworks, automobiles and
swimming, the National Bureau of
Casualty and Surety Underwriters
offers the following advice:
eff you go off on motor trip,
make sure your car is in safe operat-
ing condition; drive safely; keep to
the right; drive at reasonable speed;
have 500 feet of clear distance ahead
before you attempt to pass other cars.
Watch out for pedestrians.
"If you go swimming-swim in safe
places. Things to examine are tides,
currents, depths, sunken debris and
impurities. Be sure to stay within
your own limits. Wait at least two
hours after eating and then take along
a friend for safety's sake.
eff you must use freworks-be on
the alert every minute. Give yourself
plenty of space. Keep them away
from infammable materials. Keep
away from smaller children and ami
mails. Cauterize all small cuts and
bruises neutrality-suspicious. poison
ing is swift and deadly"
Remember all safety rules: and "All
hail to a safe Fourth"

JAMES A. ENLOW

James A. Enlow, aged 83 years, died
at his home in Mountain Lake Park,
Thursday morning, June %. Thus a
gentle spirit quietly, peacefully and
serenely was summoned to the bar of
Divine Justice to receive the reward
of his labors and virtue and ito ac-
quire that immortal inheritance where
joy flows in one continued stream
and no mound can check its course"
Mr.. Enlow was born February IA,
1850, near Hoyes (then Johnstown),
in Garrett county, the son of the late
John and Priscilla Enlow. On jan
uary l, 1874, he married Miss Alice
Brooke, who is still living at Noun
tain Lake Park. To this union was
born six children, four of whom are
living: Earl, who resides in New Jer-
sey; Mrs. Lois E. Graef, of Chicago;
Mrs. Gertrude B. Utterback and Miss
Helen V. Enlow, the two latter of
Mountain Lake Park. The daughters
were present at the funeral. The son
having visited his father shortly be-
fore his death, was not present, cir
cumstances making it impossible for
him to return to the funeral.
After their marriage Mr.. and Mrs.
Enlow went to housekeeping on Pen
nington street in Oakland in the fall
of 1876 where they resided until in
October, 1882, when they moved to
the Park, the site of which Mr.. Enlow
helped to select, and where they have
lived ever since.
SwEarly in life Mr. Enlow united with
the Methodist Episcopal church and
for more than IS years lived the &C
tive and consistent life of Christian
gentleman. AS early as 1877 he was
teacher of a church class in Oak
land, and his talent for illustrating
the lessons with chalk drawings on a
blackboard is we'll remembered by
members of that class still living in
Oakland.
Mr.. Elbows funeral was held from
his late residence and was in charge
of Rev. Middaugh, assisted by Rev.
Gregory Bleakly. Following the re-
quest of Mr.. Enlow that no sad or de-
pressing hymns be rendered at the
service, Mrs. Bartholomew, accom-
panied by Mr.. Bartholomew, sang
"Sweeter as the Years Go By" which
was followed by "More Like the Mas
ter" by the church choir.
Ever cheerful, ever courteous, ever
kindly, Jimmie" Enlow will be missed
not alone by his wife and children,
but by great circle of friends whose
lives he touched in his long residence
in Garrett county.
Interment of the remains was made
in the family plot in Oakland ceme-
terry.

A SHATTERED PROMISE

One is almost tempted to suggest
that the American delegation at the
London economic conference pack up
and come home. 1t has been insulted
and Inundated, and is being made
the butt of malicious and unwar-
ranted attacks by groups of other
delegates
The conference is not of Americas
making. 1t was devised by the ma
tions of Europe for the removing of
the awful burden of post war depreS-
sion from their own shoulders. The
United States consented to attend
only after repeated requests-plead-
ings, in fact-and representations
that her presence was necessary if
the world were to be saved.
Our delegation sailed in the hope
of being able to contribute something
to the alienation of suffering in other
parts of the world. 1t was recognized
and admitted there was little that
it could do for the advantage of the
United States.
Knowing the usual tenor of inter-
national conferences and the jealous
les of European nations for Americas
near self-sufficiency we sought pro-
lection only upon one point before we
consented to attend the meeting,
namely, the debt question. 1t was
agreed without audible reservation
by all the nations participating that
this subject would not be discussed.
With that promise in hand Uncle Sam
went to the conference willing to do
all in his power to help his neighbors
in distress, despite the fact that he
had an enormous job of his own at
home upon his hands.
But before he was fairly seated at
the conference table, England de-
manded that the debts be reduced by
so great an amount as to equal cam
collation.. France objected to giving
the Craftsmanship of the important
monetary committee to Delegate j.
M. Cox, insisting that she, or some ma
ton friendly to herself, have it. And
throughout the assembly the harass-
ment of the United States is being
plotted.
The United States, great and in
dependent nation that it is, does not
need to stand for this kind of treat
ment. America is sitting atop the
economic world such as it is. 1t has
the upper hand of every nation rep
resented. It's delegates should not be
asked to take European insults or per-
nit themselves to be made the tar
gets of European cabals.
If Europe is not sincere in its de-
sire for straightforward conference
nor has any real intention of finding
a solution to the economic problems
of the world by which all concerned
may profit, there is no use of the
United States remaining there longer.
If this is to be poker game, the
object of which is for every nation
represented to out-wit every other for
its own distinct advantage and for the
distinct loss of the rest, we might as
we'll withdraw now as later. We can
get along without Europe better than
Europe can get along without us, and
especially without Europe's deceitful,
withdrawing tactics.
