The Inglorious Fifth.
The glories of many a Fourth have
been dimmed by the Borrows of the
Fifth and It has taken the American
people a long time to realize the peril
that lurks In a gunpowder celebration
of their Independence. Many a parent,
unwilling to deny Its child the freedom
enjoyed by Its playmates on the
Fourth, have mournfully rued their In
dulgence on the Fifth, when count
ing the fearful toll they bad paid.
This year as In years past all over
the country the Fourth of July has
brought its victims, but apparently In
fewer numbers than 'before. The com
paratively small aggregate of casual
ties proves beyond doubt that we have
made some material progress toward
a more Ideal, safe and sane Fourth and
that progress, which Is measured In
human, life, may be very largely attri
buted to the incessant agitation wblch
the newspapers of the country have
maintained against reckless forms of
patriotic expression. For years the
newspapers have kept up their crusade
and campaign of education until today
they can measure the profitable results
of their labor. In New York and Chi
cago, the chief cities of the country
which took the lead this year In the
movement for a safe and sane day, the
list of dead and Injured Is far less than
In previous years, showing great en
couragement for the future and In
both cities even more attention was
actually paid to the celebration of the
day than usual.
The example of these cities must
have its Influence upon others and
next year It will not be surprising if
an over the land there is a united de
termination to enforce a rational cele
bration. We have paid enough for this
experience to get the maximum good
out of it. When we attain complete
sanity in this respect we will be able
better to understand and appreciate
what the Fourth of July really is for.
Modern Business Ethics.
A Chicago minister recently told the
students of the University of Chicago
that the code of modern business was
pagan and not Christian, with bru
tallty and selfishness as its chief at
tributes. This is on a par with the as
sertlon of another Chicago minister
who said that the state of Nevada
should lose its charter and be set back
Into the territorial crass because its
laws and officials permitted the prize
f,ht- 8uch "r4,m utterances do
no good, but mucn nam. in tne rim
place they tend to destroy respect for
tb,e men making them and their call-
lag. and in the end vitally impair their
Influence.
Modern business has much in it that
is bad, but it is far from being ethi
cally pagan and it is not, as implied
by this assertion, as bad as the busi
ness codes that preceded. It is a far
cry from the day ot apprenticeship
Llayery and imprisonment for. debt to
that of short hours, sanitary lab"or 'ahdLomobUes ia not necessarily taken out
liberal pay and laws exempting" debtors
from unfair exactions by creditors
Our loquacious old friend, Mlcawber,
would, no doubt, revel in the patience
and nrivilea-ea of this day and conclude
th.t tMa Rr. wlth0ut its debt-nrisons
and Ur,ah Heep9 wag lndeed a Uto
pian ago. But the serious fact is that
with all our strenuous competition.
our Qulck amasslng of prodigious
k.ealth. 0ur business code is more hu
mane, more mindful of the other man
and his rights and indeed, more moral
than that of any people in history. All
about us we see these men of colossal
fortunes giving with lavish hand to
charitable or other worthy causes and
even la the Beverlty of tbelr business
dealings they are not driving as cruel
Dargains as uey usea to.
True, we have surrounded business
today with legal restrictions and monl
tory influences, bo that it may be said
the business man deserves no credit
for doing what he is by law compelled
to do. Perhaps, but that does not alter
the fact that he is doing it and has
himself helped to set up these re-
stralnts and regulations to make sure
that all do business on the same high
Dlane and none is permitted to take
uniue advantage of the other.

Representative Tawney of , Mlnne
sota, chairman of the nouge committee
on appropriations, has made what will
doubtless strike the country as a most
practical proposal to congress for cur-
""mem 01 puouc expenditures ana a
Promoting of general economy. He
tt88tBt a change in the hous9 rules
at will permit the appointment of
I on-6 committee to nave initial control
over ail appropriation diub ana so con
stltuted as to be representative of
every section. Without any argument
from Mr. Tawney, who is a thorough
student ot national finances, this plan
I commends itself by mere statement,
but he offers reasons which reinforce
it strongly,
Mr- tawney snows mat even the
Present appropriation committee was
able to effect a reduction in bills
brought under its. jurisdiction of nearly
$17,000,000 at this last session, while
the bills drafted by the seven other
committees touching appropriations
went nearly $28,C0O,OOO above thees-
tlmates. A single committee with
power to control the drafting of ap
Iproprlatlon bills in the first place
would, of course, be able to accoin
piish far more than a committee which
only passed on the bills after they
were drawn and forttfled by every
available influence
This Tawney plan is in direct line
with the president s persistent de-
mands for retrenchment In government
expenses. We have been talking econ-
omy for a long time and, while the
contingencies of a rapidly growing
government, rich In resources and
complicated In detail, make necessary
Increasing drains upon the treasury,
this very fact Is all the more reason
why we should seek more effective
methods of holding our expenses
within bounds.
The proposal of Mr. Tawney came
too late in tne session to evoke ex-
pression as to congress" disposition
lu"" UUL " grange inaeea There Is a difference beween automo
If it does not prove acceptable. There blle accidents caused bv mere mlshan
appears to be no political maneuver in
It and It can doubtless be worked out
so as to satisfy democrats as well 'as
republicans. It may be that this plan
can be dovetailed in with President
Taft's method of conferring with his
cabinet officers as to the best means
of keeping down expenses. Congress
appropriated $100,000 for an invest!
gallon that would lead to such a dis
covery and when congress reconvenes
in the winter the president will prob
ably have Borne valuable aid to offer
Mr. Tawney.
Autos and Finance.
A financial paper published in Bos-
ton and which, therefore, assumes to
speak authoritatively, is unduly exer-
clsed and grossly misinformed about
the western farmers buying and own-
ing automobiles. As a premise to its
alarms It fays that Kansas City and
other southwestern bankers had
agreed to loan money to no one who
proposed buying an automobile be-
cause the farmers of Kansas had in-
vested last year $32,000,000 In auto-1
mobiles and that one Kansas City bank
held fifty real estate and farm mort-1
gages for money that went into motor
cars.
After a diligent investigation The
Kansas City Star failed to find a
banker who kuew anything about such
an agreement or situation. It found
several bankers, however, who knew
that mn far hanks war rnn ram aA
farmers were buy ins these luxuries
without mortgages and others that
were readv to loan moner generously
to Kansas farmers, regardless of what
they bought With it, Just BO they put
UD good security.

One T. H. Tibbies, who says he
got $5,000 of democratic money in
1904, while running as a populist can
didate for vice-president, rises to re
mark that President Taft is entitled
to no credit whatever for any of the
legislation enacted by congress at its
recent session. This is the same Mr.
Tibbies who called the gentle McKln-
ley a murderous monster.
Another explanation vouchsafed for
the defeat of the bond proposition
recently aubmltted at the special elec
tlon in Lincoln is that taxpayers are
adverse to voting omnibus bond
achemes. That has been observed in
Omaha, too. A city, like an individual,

Few things give the onlooker a more
pleasing thrill that to see the well groomed
horses of a fire department dashing
the streets. This is especially true of
New York, where drivers and animals take
long chances on narrow and crowded
tracts. But on Tuesday New York had
new eight, a stirring one that will not
soon be forgotten by those who witnessed
it. An alarm rang In and the automatlo
fronts of the stalls in the Morgan avenue
station flew i.pen. The three great .grays
prang to their places under the engine
harness. It made no difference to them
that the fire was beyond their station.
The doors of the house opened, the horses
hesitated an Instant for the well known
clasps to snap, but dutey railed and time
was short. They moved n one, swung
out of the engine-house, caught their stride
In a few steps and, all bare of harness and
free from controlling rein, dashed away
abreast to the fire call they had been
trained to answer. They galloped for
blocks like cavalry troop horses, never
even getting out of step, and wheeling and
turning as if driven by an expert It was
beautiful sight, even if rather terrifying
to pedestralns, and it showed that a horse
knows that he has work to do and
initiative to do it unassisted to the best
of his ability.
It was all that a policeman and aa am
bulance surgeon could do to get 11-year
old John Slcha to abandon the ball game
which the Wales Juniors, of which he is
captain, were playing against the West-
hester Juniors, notwithstanding his left
arm was fractured in two places.
It was ln the ninth Inning with the score
tied, that the accident befell the doughty
little., base ball captain. He was standing
on third baie. which was covered by a
rock, when he saw a chance to steal to
the home plate, which was also represented
by a rock on the big field that runs from
One Hundred and Fifty-second to One Hun
dred and Fifty-fifth street, ln Wales ave
nue, Aa he slid he struck another rock
full force, and his face was white with pain
when he picked himself up.
He ordered the game to proceed, but the
policeman called "time." The policeman
summoned an ambulance from Lebanon
hospital. Dr. Ooldschmldt tried to per
suade the boy to get Into the vehicle.
but he refused. Both the physician and
the officer pleaded, but Captain Slcha per
sisted In eeelng the game out
The men were reluctant to lift him Into
the ambulance against his protests, lest
they might add to his Injuries. Finally
one of his playmates got into the ambu
lance with him on a dare. At the hospital
It was found that In addition to the double
fracture of his left arm the lad had prob
ably suffered internal injuries.
Julius Scholi, years of age and penni
less, started to take the first Job he had
been able to get ln seven months. He left
his wife and five little children in their
home, 14A0 Washington avenue, and walked
away with only a few crusts ot stale bread
ail that the hungry mouths at home could
spare for his lunoh. The crusts were care
fully stored ln his pocket
It was seven miles from his home to the
place down town where he had work. Lack
of food during the Idle months had made
the man weak. At One Hundred and Forty-ninth
street and Third avenue a special
policeman for the Inter-Borough saw
Sohols accept a transfer from another man
that he might ride to work. Taking anoth
er's transfer Is an offense and the police
man arrested him.
At the Mdrrisania court, when Schols
was searched, the police found the crusts.
With tears the prisoner told Magistrate
House that he had only procured his first
job the day before. When he finished his
work for the day he would have carfare
and would never again take a transfer.
"This man ought never to have been
brought to this court," said the magistrate.
"He is discharged,"
Then the magistrate dug Into his pocket
for a few coins. The policemen around the
platform followed the lead of the judge,
and Schols cashed his champion hard-luck
tale for $3.25, and went away with the
rosy view that blessings sometimes come
along disguised even ln the uniform of a
cop.
That the aeroplane ln its present state of
development is far from Being a satisfac
tory engine of war is the conclusion of
Glenn H. Curtlss, as the conclusion of the
experiments in mimic bomb throwing
which he haa been conducting over Lake
Keuka. The tests thus far, he says, have
demonstrated two Important facta:
"First That no aeroplane can be made
Into an efficient war machine unless it is
fitted for carrying two persons one to act
as pilot and attend to the motor, the other
to act as gunner.
"Second That tho dropping of projectiles
is a waste of ammunition without a gun
which can be aimed straight from over
head and can carry Its missile to the tar
get" Rear Admiral Kimball's comment on the
teats ia aa follows: "These are the aero
plane's present defeats for war purposes:
Lack of ability to operate ln average
weather at sea; signaling approach by
noise made by motor and propeller; im
possibility of controlling heights and speeds
so as to predict approximate range; dit
flculty of hitting when working at a height
great enough to give the aeroplane a fight
ing chance of reaching effective range."

NEBRASKA PRESS COMMENT.
MastltiK TrlbuiK-: And now (Jovernor
Shallenherger says that he couldn't have
railed that special session If he had so de
sired. Is there some consolutlon in that,
governor?
Shelton Clipper: Buffalo county Is given
a representation of eleven In the populist
slate convention. Wonder where they will
find enough popullnts In this county to fill
the delegation.
Rtiahvllle Recorder: The governor has
decided to again Ignore Bryan and refuses
to call an extra session. This Is another
injustice to old Ireland. It was the Bryan
vote that largely swept Shallenberger Into
power, but we are not running the demo
cratic machine, so what's the use.
Albion News: Governor Rhallenberger has
decided not to call a special session of the
legislature. Now county option will be the
biggest kind of a paramount, and Bryan
will be compelled to enter the fight. The
stage Is being set for a melodramatic per
formance that will attract the attention of
everybody. ,
York Times: To those familiar with
Colonel Bryan's tactics It looks as though
he was In the senatorial race right now.
"The voice Is the voice of Jacob, but the
hands are the hands of Esau." The hair Is
so long and silky that no one need mistake
the hand that Is turning the democratic
machine In Nebraska.
Stromsburg News: No, the governor has
not appointed a successor to President
Childs of the State Normal board, and
he probably will not until after the pri
mary election. There are a lot of friends
pulling 'for the place, and only one of them
will get it, and the governor hasn't the
heart to make all the others feel bad just
before the primaries.
Falls City Tribune: It is not the business
of the newspaper to act ln the capacity of
puhlio prosecutor. Your paper has done its
full duty aa a paper when It has faithfully
and impartially presented the facta as they
are. It is the business of the proper authori
ties to act upon the facts produced, and
the people's high privilege and sacred duty
to elect officers who will act In the en
forcement of law without fear or favor.
The officer who dodges, and the citizen
who condones, are both alike guilty of
malpractice and deserve to be ousted, the
one from bis office and the other from
his citizenship.
Friend Telegraph: Governor Rhallenberger
Is Just at this time attempting to explain
why he has not called the legislature In
the interest of the county option and refer
endum law. To be frank. -the governor ad
mits that not three-fifths of the late la
mented legislature Is in favor of such a
measure. Ke might, with equal candor, add
that the whole democratic party of this
state is fernlnst these measures and that
it ia left for the republicans to commit
political suicide by adopting measures ot
this kind. This will be cheering news to
those of our temperance brethren who
bolted Sheldon and voted for Shallenberger.
The time has evidently arrived when the
colored gentleman in the wood pile can no
longer be hidden from the view of even
the casual onlooker. Temperance Is all
right so far as the general and greatest
good to the state is concerned, but it should
not be lugged into the platform of any
political party.
Talks for people
Gathered at the Waldorf-Astoria in
New York the night of July 21, over
300 advertising men did honor to Wll-
Ham C. Freeman, advertlsIng;raaiiac,Xrom . now etui , the -job-"fitilJ
ger of the" New York Evening Mall. working for the good of the advertls-
There were present newspaper men,
magazlne men, agency men, and out-
door advertising men present also, if
you please, were a number of advertis-
Ing merchants. Surely this is a far
cry from the days when merchants re-
garded advertising men as their pet,
particular enemies.
The occasion was the twenty-fifth
anniversary of Mr. Freeman's entrance
Into the advertising profession twen-
ty-five years of fighting for honest,
straightforward advertising!
Mr. P. J. Murphy of the Mark Cross
company said that Mr. Freeman had
made not only an aristocracy of adver
tising but also an aristocracy of non
advertisers because there were so few
left.
The Rev. James M. Farrar of Brook
lyn said: "I call him Bill Freeman of
the honest smile."
Andrew McLean, publisher of the
Brooklyn Citizen said: "The modern
press is more influential today than it
ever was. Honest advertising has
helped very greatly to bring it to its
high place."
They gave him a fine diamond ring.
In presenting it Mr. O. J. Qude, of
bill posting fame, said: "And whenever
you look at it we'd like you to remem
ber that it stands not only for love,
but for gratitude, from the members
of a profession you have helped to
raise up until we are all of us proud
to belong to it."
Mr. Freeman said: "The passing of
twenty-five years ln our profession has
seen us develop from peddlers to con
fidential advisers of big business inter
ests. "We have witnessed the sneer give
way to respect
"It has witnessed us advance from
the boot-kick to the hearty welcome.
"It has made business emerge from
tricky methods to the square deal.
"It has placed American business
men where the public has faith in
them and approves of them.
"It has stamped our profession as

"There seems to be a feeling wheresoever I

It Isn't 'as a citlzun' that I am fain to shine.
