A movement was at once started to have a safeand sane Fourth the next year. The plan was tried and since then Toledo has not reported a death or serious injury on the Fourth. The move- ment has spread over the country and the next Fourth will see many cities celebrating on a safe and sane basis. Bemidji will combine the Fourth with a celebration for the visiting firemen who will be here for their sixteenth annual tournament. But there is no reason why the celebra. tion cannot be safe and sane. Many opportunities will be offered for noise and fireworks, but the children should be guarded against excesses, Among the noise producers that have the greatest number of injuries to their credit, the toy cannon and pistol hold first place. These have caused thousands of cases of lock- jaw, blown out eyes, faces full of powder, and shattered limbs. Fire- crackers held in the hand or made into “sizzers,” roman candles held in the the band, and many other popular means of celebration can be named as contributing to the large list of deaths and injuries published each Fifth of July. It has been suggested that we use our dynamite to blow up stumps in- stead of fingers and that the Fourth be celebrated in this way. That is not practical here because of the convention, but parents can guard their children from the things which result in so much bodily injury. Which would you rather have, a strong healthy child playing around the house the day after the Fourth, or a child in a darkened room, seriously injured--perhaps dead? DISCOVERING NORTHERN MINNESOTA. There is a merry "proper" war on, in Bemidji, as to who discovered Northern Minnesota and how long ago it was discovered. One paper statedthat Mr. Mackenize discovered it, while the other paper seems to take offense, and says, Capt. Glazier discovered it, over 50 years ago. Now the Duluth Herald, under date of June 10th gives the credit to the Great Northern Ry. Co., and claims that Company’s first know- ledge: of the territory in dispute was obtained at the Crookston meeting by Mr. Mackenzie, or at least the result thereof. There are a whole lot of people in a day’s or year's travel who may see things, in a way, and still not discover them, Its the fellow who actually converts what he sees or finds into channels of use- fulness either educationally or other- wise who is the real discoverer, and we don’t think there is any one who can take that honor away from W. R, Mackenzie.—The Northern News, TO GIVE A POOR MAN A CHANCE. Such a conference as the one held June 8 at Milwaukee by the Taft republicans has become a crying necessity to save bankrupt- ing candidates under the primary law. The Milwaukee meeting ought torecommend candidates. The pri- mary law is a splendid reform to check arrogance and error on the part of such a conference, for the recommendations of the confer- ence must stand the fire of voters at the primary and so save the state from political bossism. But under the primary pure and simple every candidate must have a com- plete, state-wide machine; must conduct a state - wide cam- paign; and because without a con- ference there is sure to be a multi- plicity of candidates, the burden upon each candidate is increased. It takes a fortune to run for office, But with a conference candi- dates can have a tryout in a smaller ring and the best man determined upon. The action of the conference will be powerfully affected by the knewledge that its selection must be approved by the party at the primary polls, The addition of a party conference into the pro- cedure of nominating a party can- didate is an economic reform that has become a necessity. A poor man (though the ablest in his party) dreads now to become a candidate; for he must advertise his candidacy to all corners of the state at his own expense. If en- dorsed and recommended by the party conference that momentum would make his candidacy simpler, I BY THE WAY | If you have anything to say,say it so plain that it cannot be misun- derstood. Itisall right to wander off if you want to but be sure to keep a clear trail that leads toward home. The world is filled with people who imagine thata fall from a ladder is kindred to flying. A running account always begins to gallop if you try to catch up with it, CLING TO HULL TEN HOURS Shipwrecked Boys Taken Off Moment Before Yacht Goes Down. Chicago, June 21.—Roy Knauer and Harry O'Neill, eighteen-year-old high school athletes, were rescued from drowning in Lake Michigan just be- fore daybreak by the crew of a freight Steamer after they had clung to the hull of a capsized and slowly sinkiug yacht for more than ten hours. Knauer and O'Neill were swept out into the lake during a squall. Less than five minutes after the two ex- hausted boys had been dragged aboard the freighter the drifting hull on which they had spent the night sank. Price Never Chang The Rev. Slmon Turpie was an elo- guent speaker, but he seemed to have 8 list of sermons which, whew he once began, he went right through to the end and then started at the first ser- mon again, and so on, A young man in the congregation was about to leave for South Africa, put the Sunday before he departed he sttended the church service. In the course of his lecture the min- [ster used an illustration in which were the words, “A mau can easily purchase two sparrows for threepence.” The young man, after being absent for about three years, returned and rgaln on the first opportunity attended fllvine service. Strange to say, he heard the same narrative by the same minister, the phrase striking him most being about the “two sparrows for threepence.” At the close of the service the min- Ister, in his courtesy, came and shook hands with the youth and, welcoming him back to his home, asked him if | he noticed any changes about the place. The young man, evidently quite un- concerned, replied, “Aye, man, there's two or three changes, but there’s yin thing 1 can see—the price o' sparrows | Is aye at the same auid figger.”—Glas- A Queer Lesson, z “On the slow and cheap ships,” satd & purser, “the souvenir thief does no barm, but on a famous Atlantk liner, where records are broken and tiptop prices abound, the amount of stuff that Aswppeamwis shoeking: “Only things with the bost's name m-champagne glasses, ink wells, curl- Ing tengs, buttonhooks, and so forth.

The president says that congress has done much towards. fulfilling the party’s pledges comcerning legisla- tion. He has obtained a railroad and a statehood law.
