B FOURTH OF JULY
B' MISCHIEF
H Thcro nro a great nmuy people who
B , will defend the boys In their trndl-
H tlonnl observances of tho "night bo-
H fore," but comparatively few wliq
H will npolnglzu for serious mischief.
H Tho police and parents should re-
H member this distinction.
H For liistunce, It came to tho cars
H of tho writer a yenr or two ngo that I
L in a neighboring town the boys had
LM t iiken nn old conch pulled It on ,i
! bonfire nnd burned It up. In their ex-
clloincnt and fun loving spirit, It nov-1
H i rr occurred to them that the coach '
H J had any vnlue. Yet ns a matter of
B '' fnct ,l wnH n highly prlwsd historic-
B . ul relic, associated with tho early
B history of tho place. It had been ro-
HB fitted In tho antique stylo by n local !
H club, and wan used both on celebr.i-'
B tlons, and for occasional outings to'
H nearby towns. Preserving It wns a
B pretty sentiment, nnd It wns n rent I
B '08s when It was destroyed.
H i Yet thcro were some parents who f
B urged ns tho excuso that nnythlng '
H left around looso tho night before,!
B could ha considered fair gnmo for
B lll boys. If nny of their property
B hnd Inadvertently been left out nnd
B ' destroyed, they would hnvo thougnt
B differently.
H Hoys and young men should utso
B somo brains, even on n July Fourth
B racket. There Is no oxcuso for any
B destruction of valuable property. It
B ll'e' wnnt bontlro, they cnn.alwnys
B ""d plenty of stuff that nerds to be
B burned .up, nnd nn old packing enso '
B makes Just ns good a blaze ns a
B man's gato or bis old but still usablo
H wagon.
B July Fourth Is now bettor regulat-
B1 cd than It used to bo. Tho murder-
B, ous cannon crackers, creators of tho
B lockjaw nnd blindness, nro now very
B largely a thing of tho past. Hoys
B who nro hurt on ordinary smnll ex-
B plosives show n degreo of cnrolcss-
B. ncsfl thnt would expose them to In-
B Jury nt' somo other tlmo. Public
B ' Bontlment Is not yet rendy to stop all
H' disturbance on tho national holiday.
i jjnt It Is sick of tho destructive fires
B n,l(l needless accidents that start
B from the wanton carelessness of tho
B fi ncis-
B FOURTH OF JULY
B TETANUS
B Hack in 1003 there were 101 deaths
B I" lo United States from Fourth of
B July telnnus, this llguro representing
B about tho neriige nnuual mortality
B In 1014, ns n losult of tho Institution
B of better prophylactic treatment by
B physicians and tho widespread ngltn-
B tlon for a snfo and sano Fourth, tho
B number wns reduced to 3. A year
m ago tho U. S. Public Health Scrvlco
B oxpected and predicted that every
B youngBter In tho United States would
B lio snfo from this disease, basing Us
B cstinrato on what had ulrendy beon
B nccompllshed. When tho leturns
Bj Runio In It was found that a boy In
B Malno had beon injured, developed
& tetanus and died. That single fat-
Hs allty wad only ono among several
Bl hundred thousand occurring In tho
B ' United States durlug 1015, but It re-
B suited from Fourth of July totauua
B or lockjaw, a preventable disease and
B wns therefore nn unnecessary death.
H Tho loss of this boy makes it neces
B sary to again dlssopiinnto informa-
B tlon regarding this wholly avoldablo
B i infection.
T1)0 blank cartrldgo wound Is tlio
B great causa of Fourth of July tetnn-
Bw us, but injurios from crackers and
B firearms aro at times responslblo.
B When driven into the tissues tho
B wadding carrlos with it Innumerablo
B bacilli. If thoso bo tctanun bacilli tha
B poisonous products or toxins result-
H Ing from their muHipllcntloit produce
H tho disease. Totanus bacilli thrlvo
B 1 only In the absonca of oxygen. It is
I'mBbW
for this reason that the physician en
larges ths wound of entrance and nf
icr removing all foreign material
dresses tho Injury in such n manner
tlrat development of tho orgnnlsms Is
inhibited. In order to accomplish this
It is usually necessary to administer
an anaesthetic. Antltctnnlc serum Is
of great vnluo ns a prbphyiactlc and
It should Invariably bo given in in
juries of this character.
Parents should realize that Fourth
of July tetanus is easy to prevent but
extremely difficult to cure, tho dlscone
being attended with a mortality of
inoro than 05 per cent. No blank car
trldgo wound is too t"V&l U recelvo
careful modlcal attention?'' However
slight tho Injury may appear summon
a competent physician who will at
onco Instltuto tho necessary prophy
lactic measures. Hellnnco upon tho
homo treatment may provo disas
trous and result In the needless sac
rifice of llfo.
THE SOLDIER
SPIRIT
It is Interesting, In looking over
thu nowspapor reports of tho niobjl
l7lng of tho mllltla for border scrvlco
to noto how many times It Is said
that tho cnll Is received with enthu
siasm. To the man of middle ngod
prudence, there would seem llttlo
ground for poreonal congratulation on
tho part of tho Bolrtler.
These soldier boys aro going to a
hut country In the cllmnx t summer
weather. Thcro will bo dusty and
thirsty hikes oyer barren desert.
They hato to meet a foo that knows
no laws of wnr, that will snipe nnd
run regardless of any soldierly code
of ethics.
Many of these boys nro married
men with llttlo families. Othra have
mothers or other relatives depending
upon thorn. Few of them regret tho
ndventuro on tho ground of their
own personal risk. Hut muny of
them n. 'st feel sober ns they think
of homo '!cb.
Yet f ireely nny noto of this fool
ing comes to tho surface. Youth Is
restless and etnves adventure. Many
of theso young fellows never went
farther from homo than tho noxt
largo town. A Journey ncross r
dozen states, now scenes nnd novel
aspects of civilization, contnet with
tho fiery peoplo who torment our
southwestern boundary, tlfso things
seem to them nn nlluring experience
No doubt a lot of pntrlotlc feeling
Is burning In theso khnkl dressed
figures on their way to a mysterious
unknown. Thero Is a senso that In
tho patient forbcaranco of tho past
years, th-j old stars and stripes hafo
been trailed on tho ground, and that
it Is up to somo ono to plant tho
fear of tho Lord In thq hearts of tho
heathen. Our country may bo n land
of dollar chasers, as tho Old World
says of us. Nevertheless tlmi-e Is a
very ardent sentiment of American
Ism In tho hearts of our young men,
as thoso who provoko it too far will
find out.
THE PEOPLE'S CONFIDENCE
IN MR. HUGHES
Whatever else tho national con
ventions decided last month, they
fixed tho character of tho Presiden
tial campaign onco and for nil In
this respect. It is to bo a contest Be
tween two outstanding personalities,
conducted on n high lovel nnd with
iflsa referenco than formerly to par
ty lines and trndltlons. Less than
over beforo In our history, slnco tho.
tlmo of Washington, will men bo
moved to voto for elthor of tho can
didates merely becauso ho Is n Demo
crat or a Republican.
There nro literally millions of Am
erican voters this year who may bo
led by tho developments of tho cam
paign to support ono or tho other of
candidates without rcgard-to tho past
or present party nUlllatlona of oltii
cr. It will not bo nny party plat
form or propaganda that will determ
ine theso votes, now doubtful; It
will bo tho individual charncter of
euch candidate, as It Is seen to re-
act to tlio national problems of tho
hour.
The conventions themselves wore
simply organized tributes to tho psr
sounlltlos of the men they nominal
rd. At St. Louis, Democracy voiced
Us confldonco in tho first Democratic
administration that had completely
controlled tho national government
slnco tho Civil War. It know and re
joiced in thoso things ihnt had been
plnnncd and dono nt Washington nnfi
endorsed tho reasons that bad beon
given for doing them. It was natural
that rrosldijnt Wilson ns titular and
actual lender ot his party, should
havo recoived tho testimonial of n
rcnomtnntlon at the hands of a grate
ful party; but ns a personal distinc
tion tho naming of Justice Hughes by
tho Republicans nt Chicago in tho
preceding week was oven moro sig
nificant. In all our one hundred and
twenty years of party divisions this
w-ns probably tho first Instance in
'vhlch, at n tlmo of real crisis In na
tional affairs, a man was seriously
proposed for tho Presidency whoso
views on current Issues wcro un
known to tho public.
The amaHng featoro of the episode
was tha't It cnm6 ns tho culmination
of a brief ten years of public Zfc,
sis of which had been passed in r--tlrcmcnt
from (ovcry form of politic
al activity. That n national party,
with so scant nn opportunity to test
a candidate, should yot be willing to
placo Its fnlo In his hands, without
plcdgo or hostogo of any kind, attests
that candidate's command of popular
confldonco In a most exceptional de
gree Review of RjovIows.
Aims to Avoid
War in Mexico
President Wilson Tells New York
Press Club He Is Opposed to
Hostilities
.
Statement of President Wilson
"I havo constantly to remind my
self that I am not tho servant of
thoso who wish to. enhanco the value
of their Mexican investments, liu:
thnt I am tho servant of tho rank aui
lllo of tho people of the UnltM
States."
"Of course It Is our duty to pre
pare this nation to tako caro of its
honor and of Its Institutions. Why
debnto any part of that, except tho
detail, except tho plan Itself, which
Is always debatable.
"The easiest thing is to strike Tho
brutal thing is tho impulstvo thing.
No man hns to think beforo ho takes
aggressive action, but beforo a man
really conserves the honor by realis
ing tho Ideals ot tho nation he has
tc think exactly what ho will do and
how ho will do it."
"Do you think tho glory of Ameri
ca would be enhanced by a wnr ot
conquest in Mexico? Do you think
that any act of violence by a power
ful nation like this against a weak
and destructive neighbor would re
flect upon the annals ot tho United
States?"
"Do you think that It is our duty
to carry self defenso to a point of
dictation Into tho affairs of another
people? The ideals of Americans are
written plain on every pago of Am
erican history."
"I want you to know how fully I
rcallzo whose servant I nni. I do
not own tho government of tho Uni
ted States even for tho tlmo being. 1
havo no right to express my own am
bitions for the development -of Amer
ica if thoso nmbltlons are not coin
cident with tho ambition or tho na
tion itself."
I "Force can sometlnus hold things
steady until opinion has tlmo to form
j hut no force that was over exerted
except in responso to that opinion
I was over a predominant and con-
.quoring force."
I
I Now York, Juno 30. President
Wilson made it plain In his speech
nt tho New York Press Club banquet
tonight that he will not countennnco
a war with Mexico until there Is no
other nlternntlvo for settling the bor
der troubles.
Again ho declared that ho was
ready to sacrlfico his own political
fortunes In order to carry out his
convictions as to what would be tho
! Just courso to pursue In tho situation.

AN ELECTROCUTION
TRAP FOR INSECTS
An electrocution trnp for Insects is
ono of tho latest Inventions to bring
comfort to mankind.
Now1 It will bo possible to sit read
ing In peace on your porch at night
while tho electrocution trnp kills off
the insects thnt would naturally sook
you as their prey.
Upon an Insulated framo two naked
metal conductors aro colled in a spir
al with sufficient spaco batween the
windings. Tho two conductors aro
connected with a sourco of electric
ity In Buch a mnnnor that tho cur
rent cannot circulate until it Is "ac
tually used In killing nn Insect.
This Is ono of tho advantages of
tho Invention, for In this wnylno. cur
rent can bo wasted. Insects may be
attracted to tho electrocution! cither
i
by water or by any other attractho
substance. At night tlmo electric
tights aro tho best.
As quickly as an Insect touches the
ball or tho light ond comes In con
tact with any two ot tho live wires
they drop down Into the bottom of
tho trap. Tho current Is very slight
nnd passes through tho Insect only
for a moment.
