“Don’t” For A
Happy Fourth
Fourth of July is a safer holiday
nowadays than it used to be—but
it still results in a great number
of deaths and accidents. The tra
gedy is that all those accidents and
deaths are preventable. You can
have a “safe and sane" Fourth
that is also an enjoyable Fourth—
if you’ll remember the following
i list of “don’ts”:
1. Don’t forget that thci proof of
Fourth of July patriotism is home
protection.
2. Don’t shut your eyes to the
great Fourth of July hazards:
Fireworks, automobiles, drownings,
fires, firearms, falls, poisons.
3. If you must have home fire
works, see that they are the safest
procurable.
4. Tell the children why home
fireworks are always dangerous.
6. Don’t neglect to clear your
premises of all rubbish.
fi. Don’t discharge fireworks near
buildings. Get out in the open.
7. Don’t let children play with
matches. Keep matches out of
their reach.
8. Don’t let children throw
sparklers. They remain hot some
time and are dangerous.
9. Don’t let children discharge
fireworks unattended.
10. Don’t let children stand too
close to fireworks that are being
discharged.
11. Don’t let children pick up un
discharged fireworks. They might
explode.
12. Don’t kep fireworks in the
home uncovered. Keep in tin box
until used.
13. Don’t forget, above all, the
most Fourth of July accidents can
be prevented.
Former Resident Passes
Away at Advanced Age
The following clipped from the
Valentine Republican will be of in
terest to the old timers in this city
and vicinity. Dennis Daly was a
resident of this city in the early
days, coming here about 1879. He
was in partnership with John P.
Purcell in the general mercantile
business and later operated the
for a time and later operated the
City Hotel, which was located
where the K. C. Hall now stands,
and in about 1882 he was a candi
date for postmaster of this city, but
lost out to Patrick Hagerty. He
went to Valentine the latter part
of 1883 or the spring of 1884,
where he lived for several years,
then moving to Wahoo, Nebr.,
where he resided for many years.
At the time of his death, Mr.
Daly must have been well along in
his eighties:
“Mrs. R. A. McQuade received
word Monday of the death of her
uncle, Dennis Daly, at an advanced
age, at Washington, D. C. For a
number of years Mr. Daly had been
an inmate of a government sold
ier's home at Washington.
“Mr. Daly came to Valentine
early in 1883, as soon as the rail
road reached here, from O’Neill.
He had been a soldier in the army
and fought in the Indian wars with
General Crook. When Cherry
county was temporarily established
by action of the governor in the
spring of 1883, a special election
was held, and Mr. Daly was elected
county superintendent. As such, he
organized School District No. 1,
the Valentine district. Permanent
officers were elected in the fall,
but whether he was re-elected this
paper has not been informed. At
any rate, Mr. Daly went into busi
ness as a homestead locator, and
was very active here for a number
of years, bringing many settlers
into this section, it is said, from the '
vicinity of Emmet, la. He also es
tablished one of the first Republi
can newspapers here. This paper
has never claimed the papers which
were published before it was defi
nitely established in December,
1887, but there was a “Republican”
here before that date, Mr. Daly,
Jim Connolly and Dr. Lewis having
taken tries at promoting it.
PROFLIGATE GOVERNMENT
Here’s a comparison that will
give you something to think about:
From the time of President
Washington (1789) to the time of
President Wilson (1913) the suc
cessive Federal congresses appro
priated a total of $24,000,000,000.
That sum paid all the central gov
ernment’s expenses for the 124
years, including the cost of a num
ber of wars, such as the Civil War,
War of 1812 and Spanish American
War.
During the last four years, two
congresses have appropriated
about $32,500,000,000—eight billion
more than was appropriated from
the inception of the American gov
ernment up to the first administra
tion of Wilson.
No one political party can be
blamed for this prodigality—both
Republicans and Democrats have
shown a shameful disregard for the
people’s money. Nor has the
spending trend been confined to
the last few years—ever since the
World War, the government has
shown an accelerating tendency to
fatten the budget. Nor can the
politicians be blamed to the exclu
sion of everyone else—a supine and
indifferent attitude on the part of
the people has given them a free
hand with the public’s hard-earned
dollars.
Today taxation saps the wealth
of the nation to a menacing extent.
At least 20 per cent of the people’s
total earnings are taken by the
tax-gathers, and the percentage
would be much greater if it were
not for the fact that a large part
of the spending is being charged
against the future, in the form of
public debt. A thousand industries
have discovered the meaning of
“profitless prosperity”—their out
put and sales are soaring, but their
profits are not, because of the tax
bill.
This all means that employment
opportunities are constantly less
ened for men and women—that in
dustrial expansion and spending
are stopped—that investors are
frightened and refuse to place their
savings in ventures that would
create new sources of wealth and
employment.
Taxation is an intensely person
al problem—it menaces everyone’s
source of income, whether that in
come comes from a job or an invest
ment. We cannot have real and
permanent prosperity so long as
w'e permit government to disburse
our dollars with profligate hands.

ship of the state committee. He
is a good lawyer, a hustler and will
prove a valuable asset to the state
committee.
Europe is now determined to fol
low the good neighborly policy with
Uncle Sam, which means that they
are willing to borrow all the money
we will lend them.

THE PRESIDENT S MOVE
Five thousand men are still at
work making a bigger and bigger
ditch out of what was to have been
the trans-Florida ship canal.
And about half as many are still
busy up at Cobscook Bay doing
whatever men do on a grandiose
undertaking to harness the tides.
Yet officially it is not intended
that either of these projects shall J
[ever be completed.
The Army engineers in charge of
the two projects indicate that un
less they receive orders to the con
trary they will carry on until July
1 and the last dollar of alloted
money is spent.
It is President Roosevelt’s re
sponsibility that the taxpayers’
money is being thrown away on
these two “abandoned” projects. He
started both of them, without ask
ing the consent of Congress, and
against the advice of Administra
tion experts. More than $9,000,000
has already been wasted. The least
the President could do is to with
draw forthwith, the unexpected
balances of the allotments and put
those 7,500 men to work on projects
that will be completed.
In no part of his whole spending
program is the President so vul
nerable as in the tvyo haphazard
ventures.—News, Washington.
