A desire to make a noise is not necessarily an exhibit of patriot- ism. A disposition to indulge in license that is not permitted on other days is no prima facta evidence of respect for the fathers. Nor is a slaughter of the innocents a proper accompaniment of the pa- tion’s natal day. Therefore— Parents who have boys who have a fondness for explosives, toy pistols and blank cartridges should study the statistics of the annual tragedy and keep their Mesh and blood out of the holocaust. Also— Dealers in fireworks should study the figures in connection with the laws regulating the use of firearms and explosives and realise the risk they run. And— City councils should prepare to enforce ordinances already passed and to revise and bring up to date the laws respecting the sale and use of explosives on the day we celebrate. The Chinese method of American celebration is entirely too cost- ly. Big Thieves ‘The trial of Senator Mitchell and other members of the Oregon congressional delegation indicted in the federal courts for complicity in the wholesale stealing of the public lands is set for next Wednes- day. It will be held at Portland and the the prosecution will be vigorous. That's good news! No one presumes to say that Senator Mitchell and the two Ore- federal authorities assert that gon congressmen implicated are guilty of the charge. But— It is well known that the government has been defrauded by an evident conspiracy to steal large areas of tHe public domain in Ore- on and other states in the West. And that Mitchell and the con- gressmen, together with the other “prominent citizens,” are badly mixed up in the matter, is also well known. Let a vigorous prosecution reveal and punish the culprits. About the meanest thief on earth Is the thief who, trusted by the people to protect thelr rights, will steal the people's lands The domain is the inheritance of every American—especially of the landless Americans. Hitherto Uncle Sam has been rich enough to give us all a farm. He ts no longer in a position to do that. But he has been saving the great wooded lands of the far West for the hardy settlers who will go into them to carve out farms, start vil- Jages and rear communities. When these last sacred holdings of the republic are grabbed by thieves in high places, the whole country is robbed. More power to your elbow, Mr. big thieves. ‘We can afford in this country to let some of the little thieves get away, but not the big ones.
