THE SANE FOURTH Decatur was in style yesterday with a quiet celebration of Independence ' Day, though the fact was perhaps not due to any particular reason, except that there was "nothing doing." At any rate no serious accidents have' been reported and we can all breathe relief again. All over the land the sane Fourth prevailed and the number j of accidents reported from the large dtiee is small compared with other years. How foolish this old noise-mak ing, dangerous celebration is, with its [ annual toll of victims, broken homes . | and useless expenditure of money. l , Why we wouldn’t give the little Anger of any one of the boys and girls , in Adams county for all the noise that a train load of cannons and canI ■ non crackers could make. It’s apeI 1 culiar thing that in this great land a ( five-year-old boy can go into a store i and buy a fire-cracker big enough to 1 blow him half way across the street. f 1 Right now is the time to serve notice s on the dealers that such things will ’ not be permitted next year. In To- ( ledo this year not even a torpedo was 1 i sold and it was as quiet as a Sunday. • Os course a display of fireworks at ' night, in charge of competent men. is ‘ permissable and enjoyable, and comparatively safe, but the sale of ex-' plosives to children will soon be a thing of the past and most parents ' will be glad of it. The sane Fourth ‘ is right, and Is coming just as sure as ( are the years. t
