The fact thet this modification of the cel- ebration of Independence day has re- sulted in such a saving of life and pre- vention of accidents, is in itself suffi- clent to point out fts value. There need be, none the less, patriotism in a gafe and sane Fourth. There are plen- ty of ways in which the celebration of the important anniversary can be car- ried out, without the display of reck- lesssess with cannen, dvnamite crack- ers and blank cartridges. There can- Dot help being accidents when the use of such things is permitted, as many years have demonstrated. Not until the movement for relief from these and the attendant results was started was there a decrease in the fatalities and serious injuries of the Fourth. It was the steady increase which gave force to the sentiment for a change and the reduction in deaths and accdents shows the wisdom of the fdea. A return to such methods as have been tabooed could mever be anctioned, and it is an important rt which a municipality has to play in restricting the celebration to proper bounds. Tt is necessary to protect the reckless from themselves. TUBERCULOSIS COMMISSIONERS. Now that Governor Baldwin has made known his appointees for the vacancy on the state tuberculosis com- rrssion, and as a successor to James Gunshanan, whose term expires this vear, it is with regret, though not sur- prise, that Mr. Gunshanan Is not named to continue his good work. This will be a general feeling through- out the state wherever the influences of Commissioner Gunshanan have been exerted in behalf of the state’s work for helping those who are affficted with tubercutosls. Mr. Gunshanan has de- veloped an interest and enthusiasm in this direction which has brought to s greater realization the importance of the aid which the state is -engaged tn, and this was shown by the wide- spread desire for his retention. In the appointment of Dr. David R. Lyman, superitendent of the Gay- lord farm, as successor to the late Dr. Knight, an excellent choice has been mmde, and though Jonathan God- frey of Bridgeport, as the lay member of the board, will prove his worth as a commissioner, yet the dropping of Commfissioner Gunshanan means the casting aside of the training and knowledge he has gained upon the board, and the sacrifice of his efficien- ov for new material and inexperience. The governor had indicated for some time that there would be two new men upon the commission. However, the good service which Mr. Gunshanan had rendered thereto and to the state en- titled him to recognitfon and re-ap- potntment. BABY-SAVING WORK. Fxtensive is the task which lies in front of the new federal children’s bu- reaun with its duties of bettering child 1ife, not only in behalf of better babies but in the prevention of infant mor- taifty. It has before it a problem as great and as important as the other departments of the government and is making excellent use of its limited ap- propriation for the conduct of the work. Particularly in the summer sea- ®on 1s there need of baby saving cam- paigns, since it ie then that the infant mortality alwaye reaches its highest point, and the combined efforts of par- ents, health departments and the chil- dren's bureau could not be directed to a better purpose, Bables die of dis- eases which to a large extent are pre- ventable, and thus when welfare work s directed towards saving their lives the response is immedlate and decided. That it pays is indicated by the fact that a reduction from thirty to forty per cent, in the deaths of children un- der two years of age has followed its ation. he necessity of pure milk and vig- flance in inspection, the destruction of the house flies and the maintenance of itary conditions are some of the elaring needs, while there is particu- tarly vaiuable ald contributed to moth-~ ers through instructions which are giv- en by health departments as to the care of bables, Lack of knowledge in h eare accounts for many deaths, and therein the visiting-nurse system plays an important part, while fresh air and ventilation are always desira- ble. Mmby-saving campaigns are well conceived and are bound to have an important influence upon coming gen- erations. BETTERED BY EDUCATION. Constantly changing are the problems and opportunities in life. The gradu- ates of today face a far different future than did their predecessors of a half or a quarter of a century ago. The opportunities which lie before the ‘young people are steadily broadening, the educational advantages are con- tinually being bettered and the effort {to give them to a larger number is showing its good results in all direc- tions. Education proves its value many times to those who have profited from 1t or watched others do so, and while there is a chance at the top for all, it is the one who is better prepared through education who is in demand. It is not alone those who go into the professions who can profit from a col- lege education. The college graduate is needed in business as well as in the professions. Such an education does not bar him, however, from plenty of positions of remuneration and pros- pects but simply increases his qualifi- cations. The college diploma is not necessarily a key to the road of suc- cess, but serves to overcome many of the obstacles which would otherwise intervene, The training which is gained in se- curing an education cannot help but prove a valuable asset In the life of every younmg person if it is put to proper use, and today there are con- stantly increasing opportunities for putting it to such use in all lines of effort. It is the taking advantage of the educational opportunities .which equips for the acceptance of the oppor- tunities of life. FILLING CONSULAR OFFICES. When President Wilson named Will- iam E. Gonzales of South Carolina for minister to Cuba without previous ex- perience In the consular service, there was naturaliy much concern because of this departure from the precedents of the two previous administrations, which recognized merit in the service by promotion. There is, therefore, much reassurance in the official announce- ment which the department of state is- sues by which it is declared that the examination and promotion system will not be abandoned and t outside- the-service appointments will be made only when they cannot be .from within. Until this declaration of position was made, there was, as the New York Times say “some justification for the belief that the old system of consular appointments to reward political serv- ice was to be put in force again. In the diplomatic service, men who have risen from the lower grade to import- ant positions have been superseded by new men who have had no training whatever in diplomacy, and there was good reason for fearing that the many voung men who have passed examina- tions and received appointments to small pests in the consular service would be similarly discouraged and the system broken down.” Experience in the service, combined with meritorious work, is deserving of recognition in preference to filling such important offices with political favorites, as a recompense for politi- cal work. The rule established by the last two administrations is an excellent one to follow. E;'ITO.RIAL N(;TES. Happy thought for today: The chief trouble with an "end-seat hog” is that everyone wants his place. In view of Harvard's past success it is encouraging that the outlook on the ‘Thames this week is biue. The sizzling hot weather has been a long time getting here, but it is booked for a long engagement. The possibflity of an annual interna- tional polo contest lends new interest to the sport. On with the game! Now that Colonel Roosevelt is going to Argentina, there are lots of people who will be satisfied to stay home. After having faced the Turkey, it is surprising that Bulgaria should be shocked by an earthquake. Mexico is having a little cabinet trouble, but then that is contagious, and Hungary and Spain: broke out first. A New York man plans to publish a paper for hoboes. He certainly plans on a discriminating and independent patronage. Everything ment of the points to the industrial . war re-enact- tee of investigation. Poetry has been known to secure a pardon from prison. There’s a chance now to see what effect Julian Haw- thorne’s latest will have. Ttaly’s conquest in Tripoli is prov- ing a costly proposition after all, since the Arabs are proving better fighters than the vanquished Turks. The fact that Emperor William has celebrated his quarter-centennial as ruler of the empire ought to make him ambitious for a golden jubilee. because it is impossible to avoid poli- tics, means a distinet loss to the city. He is the kind of a man the bench needs. Evidently the weather bureau ap- pointees are becoming settled in the new berths. This is certainly fine weather for the opening of the bath- ing season. Thus early the Stamford wreck has resulted in unfit engines being reported promptly and getting immediate atten- tion as they should. Delay at the ex pense .of safety can never be counte nanced. Rev. Dr. Drury by his declination of the office as assistant to Bishop Brews- ter leaves the situation as it was be- fore the Episcopal convention and by the time another is held entirely differ- ent ideas may prevail. The colonization idea which is pro- posed for one county in Maine opens | up great possibilities for a state which | is so rich in agriciltural opportuni- | ties.

Mustn’t Forget Winchester. Mr. Editor: 1 think if Comrads Woodward had seen alf' I wrote to The Bulletin, instead of selections from 1t, he would not nave written as he did. There is nothing I wrote or printed in The Bulletin that says anything about the distance from Winchester to Har- ers Ferry. 1 said that our column, ed by the 110th Ohio, when shelled | by the rebel battery the morning ot\ the 15th, flanked to the left and went through fields and woods until we came to roads leading to the northwest and at night camped on the banks .f the Potomac river, but we were not any nearer Harpers Ferry than wo were when we left Winchester. The column was uot even halted, but marched faster than ever. The 110th Ohio did not fire a hostlle shot thai day that I know of. | When Color Sergeant George Torrey | came up he could hardly walk, and [ set my gun up side of a tree and ot him on to an old farm wagon, and when 1 went back for my gun it was gone. The next morning when I went down to the river to wash there were several guns lying there someone had thrown away, and I took one of them: in place of the one I losi The next morning we crossed tha river and came out near Hancock, Md. He says_the battle was fought witn General Ewell's corps, about 3,000 men. In the estimates of the rebel army a. Gettysburg General Ewell's corps was put down at over 20,000. He says that about 5 o'clock Sunday General Milroy withdrew all his forces into the foi: during the charge. During the chargs the star fort was captured. The maln fort, the only one left, was not large enough for a regiment to fight to ad- vantage and our company of infantrv and the artillerymen were all there was in the fort while the battle lasteq. There was a line of rifle pits extend- ing about a mile south of the main fort, and I went up and saw them when our monument was dedicated there, and I am told by members ol the regiment they were in those rift pi There were six brass guns on whee's, 24 or 32 pounders, and six 12 pound iron guns in the fort. He says evecy gun was dismounted and the horses killed. I do not know about the guns outside, but not a gun was dismoun‘ed in the fort, and we had no horses. 1 have written the account of ‘he battle in the woods Monday morning as 1 find it in the history of the regi- ment. He says the first brigade got past the rebels and Colonel Ely com- anded the second brigade, which was commanded to charge. The reb- els were very bitter against General Milroy and wmight have shot him if taken. He ordered the final charge | and escaped, leaving them to their | fate. 1 visited this battlefield next yeir from the butts and saw the strong position they occupied behind the rail- road bank, with the cross fire of artil- lery 1 wondered so many of our m:n escaped. It seems to me that a larger | number of our men might have ea- caped to have gone to the flank as our column did, instead of charging intu this death trap. The rebels were kept back almost as long as they were bz- fore the charge was made. But we can rejoice this 50th anni- versary of the battle that what brave men did_there helped win the great battle of Gettysburg, and while we honor what brave men did at Gettys- burg we should not forget what brave men did at Winchester.

In the bustle of preparing for the funeral one of the plates had been broken beyond the skill of the most expert mender to put together, anl: Mrs. Bourn and Silas Warren, who Were both a little mad on the subject of china, had taken the matter info the courts, each insisting that the re- maining plate was the one Jason | Pomfret had repeatedly indicated as | the one he wished the claimant to ' have. The lifelong friendship between the two familles had been ruptured. | Harry had been threatened with dis- inheritance if he even spoke to Nei- tie, and she had been assured by her mother that she would be disowned if | she had aught to do with the son of 2 man who was no better than a com- mon thief. But Harry did not let the grass grow under his feet. He went to see his closest friend, Dick Lyons, who | was noted as an expert on old porce- lains. He had done Dick a great; favor once. Dick managed to meot Mrs. Bourn atl an evening party, and with much mystery he approached | er. “I don’t want to see you get the worst of this row over that Washing- ton plate,” he said when he had aroused her curlosity sufficiently. “I've often “studied that collection of Jason Pomfret's, and other experts had always agreed with me that his Washington plates were not genuine. | “The plate that is left is merely 2| copy of the real ones—an awfully good copy you know, but bogus fo: all that.” “Don’t tell me that.” she command- “I've seen the plate very ed with a sniff. a hundred times and I know well that it is a real Washington. | “Look here.” suggested Dick. “you | can look the plate over closely so; long as you don’t take it out of the executor’s office.

You look it over carefully and you'll get tue credit for | dropping the fight over a plaie that! is not worth fighting over.” “If this is a trick—" began Mrs. . Bourn, and she paused. She could think of no threat terrifying enough land her silence was more eloquent. “It is not a trick,” assured Lyon as he turned away, content that he had aroused her susplcions to a point | where his warning would be look«d, into. { What Harry had not counted on | was that his father and Nettle's | mother should arrive at the office of | the lawyer executor at the same timo | and simultaneously demand tha | privilege of examining the plate. His father had gained some suspicion of momething going on when he saw Mrs, Bourn enter with the expert. “Tt is the same that I took from tha cablnet,” declared the lawver tartiv, not relishing the suggestion that was conveyed in their demands. “It's not that” Mrs. Bourn hast- | ened to explain. “I've always had an idea that the plate was not genuine and I want to make certain that the plate is worth fighting over.” “Funny you never thought before,’ commented Silas Warren suspiciously. “T've always had my he added, with the collec tor's vanity and pride in his knowl- edge. “Harry told me the other night that one of his friends alse had ex- pressed his doubts.
