DWYER Editor Entered at the Postoliice at Alexan dria, Virginia, as seeond class matter. COMING FOURTH OF JULY Wrthin less than a ^month Inde pendence Day will be agan upon us. As has been the case for a quarter j of a century, the authorities of the larger cities have been attempting to curb, if not eliminate, many dan gerous practices indulged in by thoughtless men and boys on this great national holiday. Alexandria was one of the first cities to take measures looking to the suppression of the use of explosives on such oc cascr.s, and attempts were made t" enforce laws made by our grand fathers which not only forbids the use but the sale of explosives in this city. During late years Mayor Fisher has issued orders to the po lice to give this matter their undi vided attention. The officers previ ous to'the Fourth of July notify all dealers in devices which tend to make the holiday odious to refrain from selling the same . On some oc casions, and attempts were made to to defy the law, and they were haled into the Police Court where they were made to pay fines. Mayor" Fisher has again directed the members of the police force to see that the law is obeyed. The people of Baltmore are working earnestly to make the com ng Fourth safe and sane. Geenral Pershing has sent the folowir.g let ter to the authorites of the Monu mental city: "1 beg to acknowledge-your.letter of Apnil 20, asking for my indorse ment of safe and sane July celebrations. The object of your celebration must 'have the sup pert of every intelligent American people gain a wholesome and deep rooted rerpect for law and order and realisation of^the necessity for pio tecting private property, the princi ples of the Declaration of Independ ence. which are celcbratc-d on July 4. with be defeated. Your efforts to restrict the reckless and ignorant use of fireworks in celebrating the Fourth of July will meet with the . approval of those who care for children, who have been the chief sufferers in this respect in our cel ebrations in the past. 1 iirmK be lievu that one of the great lessons that the soldiers of the American Expeditionary Forces will biing home with them is a wholesome res pcct for the law and order, and the ?danger that comes from reckless and ignorant use of explosives." THE LOVE OF LYING . ''The love, of lying is so deeply ; embedded in human nature today j that, a man cannot hene to be con- i side red either a gentleman, a relit:-i ious man. a good business man oi a ; statesman if he speaks the tru^n. , says Jr.rncs M. Kilgour, of Round j Hill. Loudoun County, in a commun ication to a Baltimore paper. Ihe !

Bullwer founded one of h;s short stories on the experiences of a man who undertook on a wager, to speak the aboslute truth for a single day. By noon he had lost his position in a dry goods store; he had been ejected from his bearding house and dis carded by his sweetheart. By nigH he was in the hands of the polio? on the 'charge of insanity, the w.t nesses against him being the di. goods boss, the sweetheart, the boarding house keeper and his own mcthc-r.

Throwing of bombs and planting in fernal machines, any anarchist will tall you, is the "propaganda of the deed." For a thousand years anarchism was propagated by peaceful methods, by word of mouth and by writing. Then Mikhail Bakunin, Russiar. agitator, founded militant anarchism in 1869.

In the following ten years the; niar.ufacture cf bombs by anarchistic ; societies progressed. At first many ! anarchists were blown up making them. They became affept in their manufacture. . Anarchy's bomb career really stilt ed September 23, 1893, at Barcelona.

Anarchism has x> binding pro gram. Each member is allowed to do what he pleases-*-in anarchistic cir cles. Usually they band together in little grcup3, with a more or less connecting (underground) chain be tween each group. Their meetings are secret, and so is the membership. The most experienced bomb makers among the anarchists are guarded. They never dispose of the bombs. These are given to other members ot the society, leaders, who in turn, pass them on to still others, who do the hurling or planting.
