Wewatu^i Potrrtti of JnTy
c«lebratfons here last night one boy's *and wag mangled by a cannon cracker. He will lose a thumb. Another boy was riddled by a charge of "bird shot from a toy cannon," and another boy was wounded in the head by a piece of a torpedo exploded und»r the wheels of a street car.
That an eleven-year-old boy should be discharging a cannon loaded with shot within the city limits, or in fact anywhere for that matter, is nearly incredible. That's a combination which certainly should be prevented by soma ordinance or regulation out of sheer protection to the public!. v.. There is a notion prevalent that safo
Und sane ideas should be suspended this year, permitting of an extraordinary celebration of the Fourth in honor of victory in the world war and today's triumphant peace.
The Tribune hopes that this wTn not take seed here. A great and good work towards- public safety has been accomplished in the safe and sane Fourth idea. Last night's untoward events certainly itiemonstrate tlm need for such protection. The ciders ought to be able to forego noise and racket with their Fourth for the mere saving in little lingers And hand*. A child maimed for life, or ft home in ashes, .J®£ patriotic token to be shunned.
NOW COMES REMORS&r
4h'e TCi nnipeg general strike comes to an end. Men are applying for their old positions. Two aldermen are under arrest on charges of seditious conspiracy. The government Is to appoint a commission to investigate the causes of the strike and report measures to fcbe provincial authorities.
Thus ends another "revolution,** another attempt to foster the soviet plan of government ill free America. Thwarted at Seattle, bolshevism jumped across the border into western Canada and came east to Winnipeg. Starting upon the merest pretense, the general strike assumed the aspect of a gerious effort s to supplant. democracy with a form of cAntrol imported from Russia—an effort defeated wherever it has been tried on this side of the Atlantic but one which, no doubt, will be repeated front time to time. It Is a direct challenge tp orderly government, a direct defiance of law.

Sketches from Life
•vlncial employers in some cases announce that their4 mea will not be taken back. It has •been a sorry experience all around, and sorriest for honest working men and women who were misled to unite their strength with a, movement thai boded ill to themselves.
THIS WAY OUT.
The senate will soon have before It the official, complete text of an international agreement perhaps the most momentous in history. It will bear the signatures of all the entente nations and of Germany. Can anyone believe that the senate will Insist upon blocking a peace so nearly consummated? Can anyone believe that even a third of the membership of the upper house of congress will care to delay the coming of peace by trying the impossible task of separating the league of nations covenant from the rest of the treaty?
President Wilson will, of course, use his influence to have the treaty accepted without change or reservation. He is, in effect, pledged to his colleagues in Paris to see the agreement ratified exactly as drawn by them and signed by Germany. Whether or not the president can accomplish this remains to be seen. Certainly, the American people want the treaty ratified without delay, for they have had enough of war and long for a resumption of free commercial relations between ths "United States and the enemy country. Senators will find slight support for any attitude delaying the final, official ending-' of the war.
The way has been pointed out by which, while ratifying the treaty,, the senate may, if It wishes, express, in a supplementary resolution its "interpretation" of certain parts of it which action, unless the. "interpretation" be of such a nature as to constitute an amendment of the treaty, would not delay the coming of peace. It id possible that certain senators undertaking to defeat the league of nations and finding themselves unable to do so may resort to this recognized device to escape their unpleasant predicamenti Everything indicates the prompt ratification of the treaty including the league covenant, It may be accomplished In less time than even its friends anticipate.
TIGER IN REPOSC.
An Associated Press dispatch to The Tribune yesterdky said that Clemenceau will retire as premier of Fiance Upon the signing of the peace terms by Germany. He will retire from public life to a well earned rest.
Clemenceau is seventy-eight. He is at the height of his mental vigor. His work in behalf of France and in behalf of humanity has been that of a man untouched by senility. As president of the peac* conference Clemenceau has indeed been its leader. The final notes which he has penned, appraising and labeling the German nation for the instruction of posterity, are masterpieces of conciseness and incisiveness.

•SHE SAW IT IX THE MOVIES.*
Had the assassin's bullet cut down Clemenceau in the midst of his work the loss would have been tremendous. Now that the work is done no one will attempt to dissuade the great statesman and fearless patriot from shifting to younger shoulders the responsibilities of state.
Clemenceau was one of the great leaders in winning the peace after the war was won. It is difiicult to determine in which work he showed greater force and wisdom.
History will honor Clemenceau as one of the most eminent of statesmen and one of the purest and most admirable of patriots. Few men in public life have been sQ little swayed by personal ambition. Few men have been so utterly devoted to unselfish ideals. And to few men has come an equal opportunity to labor and to fight in the cause of right or to wiu such resplendent victories.
A VACANCY.
There is a vacancy in New York. "Big Bill" Devery is dead—Devery, "the beet chief of police New York ever had." Directing the metropolitan police force is no mollycoddle'p job even in these days it was less so in Devery's day, and Devery was about as far removed from a mollycoddle as pole from pole. He was a big, twofisted product of New York's questionable politics, protege of Croker, handy man for Tammany, friend of the underworld and, withal, a character the like of which America may not produce again.
From patrolman to chief "Big Bill" worked his way. Tried for extortion, blackmail and oppression, he always managed to escape his pursuers. Not until the legislature abolished his office could Devery be dislodged. It was his boast until the last that had the legislature not played this trick upon him he would still be acting as "best chief," saving the city the ministration of such "classy gentlemen" as Commissioner Woods.
A. "classy gentleman'* to no wise fitted "Big Bill's" idea of what a police chief should be. He believed the ideal chief was one who had "pounded the pavement for twenty-four years" and Understood "that quasi-body of wild Indians which is the New York police force"' and who would, accordingly, prevent "them quasi Indians from pulling the wool over his eyes."
Twenty days after Van Wyck dubbed him the ''best chief," Devery lost his place through legislative action abol ishing the office, but "Big Bill" waxed prosperous. In later years he built $40,000 home but he was not happy away ^rom the neighbors of his youth "There is one thing I have noticed about this neighborhood," he said, "that is different from my ©Id camp down in Twenty-eighth street. There wasn't any race suicide down there. It was a stingy wife that didn't present her husband with half a dozen kids Up around here there are not so many kids and a Whole lot more dogs."
But It's all over now. Bill's theories

The green trail of the graase*. And the leaftrail of the tree— The young spring's in the meadows,

East and west and south and north Her aeure eyes are twinkling. And her fleecy cloudships sail And we'll take the path of beauty

32 YEARS' SERVICE,
Mrs. A. Waldman, 460 Glenn Ave., Fresno, Cal., writes: "When I was young I had a fever and it left me with a cough every winter. Thirtytwo years ago I read about Foley's Honey and Tar and bought some and it helped me. I use it yet and it helps me every time. I am a widow 66 years old." There is nothing better for bronchial, grip and similar lingering coughs and colds that hang on. Just fine for children—for croup and whoping cough. Contains no opiates.

The Traction Company as an Employe
As an employer of labor, the Terre Haute Division of the T. H. I. & E. Traction Company is not the least by any means of the Tear* Haute incjustries. i
Assuming that our payments for Tabor will be the same during the second half of the year as it has been during the first half, our payroll for the. calendar y*ear 1919 will amount to something over $600,000,
This is considered in excess of the previous year when ottr payroll was something over $475,000. This increase is accounted for almost altogether by increased wages, every class of employees on our roster having received an increase in pay during the last twelve months. y
It can readily be seen that this large force of workmen formed a considerable element of the purchasing power through which the retail establishments of Terre Haute are maintained. Altogether aside,'therefore, from the manner in which is discharges its trust' as a public service, the Terre Haute division deserves and claims consideration as an economic asset of large proportions.
Our employees in the main, are men and women industrious'and capable, and fairly representative of employees as they are found in this and other large institutions.
The increase in the annual payroll from $475,000 to $600,000 shows the' relative extent of wage increases that have been granted by us. It is not unfair to recall in this connection the. fact that we have been granted at the best only trivial increases in rates to compensate for this wage and other increased co.st in operation, and that in a few instances, notably in the matter of electric light rates, our income has been reduced to the danger point,
Other industrial concerns have been able to reimburse themselves* for iri-^ creased costs by charging larger prices for their products. The T. H. I. & E. Traction Company, however, is compelled to make its charges in accord* ance with the ruling of a state agency, and although this privilege of regulat-,. ing carries with it the obligation to protect, we can truthfully ,say that we. have not received that degree of protection which will enable us to improve our service and extend our facilities as we would like to do* •.
