TOMORROW THE GLORIOUS FOURTH OF JULY.

IT IS WORTH WHILE TO PAUSE the celebration of Independence Day is

that hundreds are killed every year and thousands upon thousands badly maimed while thousands of others are hurt in varying degree. Valuable property is destroyed, nerves are wrecked, sick people are driven to distraction nnd a million mothers dread the dawn of the Fourth and breathe a sigh of relief when it is over. The celebration of the Fourth of July is a loyal and patriotic duty of every man, woman and child of the United States' eighty million people. It is truly the nation's natal day and is deserving of all the attention that can possibly be bestowed upon it. Hut there ought to be some change made in the way of celebrating it in a safe and sane way. Newspapers have boosted this safe and sane idea until it has actually become a joke. They have considered it a duty to the public to warn it of the attendant danger lurking in Fourth of July celebrations. It seems to be useless. Parents permit their children to procure dangerous explosives. Fatheaded young fools will go down the streets firing blank cartridges, frightening horses and virtually rioting. The Fourth of July is what General W. T. Sherman said war was In by gone days. TIMES' statistics collected last year show that 54 were injured in this immediate vicinity. What will the toll be this year? Reports of pre-Fourth of July accidents have already begun to come in and It Is time that hundreds of parents in Hammond, and indeed, all over Lake county will permit their children to monkey with the explosives tomorrow. Will you not, father and mother, heed this last warning and perhaps save your flesh and blood from being maimed or killed? WHAT WILL THE DEMOCRATS DO ABOUT IT?

THE GREATEST ISSUE BEFORE THE American people today is the Issue of the preservation or destruction of the power of the courts. It is greater and more important, even, than the tariff Issue. The tariff touches the pocket of the country; the integrity of the judicial power is a thing which reaches far beyond any question of material welfare to the very bases upon tvhich the government of the United States stands, says a contemporary editor. It was the threat in congress to impair this integrity at the behest

of the leaders of organized labor which roused the business men of this country to the protest of last May under which the anti-injunction bills went down to defeat. It was the attempt, in the interest of the same insiduous element, to commit the republican party to an assault upon the judiciary which precipitated the one real fight in the Chicago convention, and which has come nearer than any thing before to alienate the business interests of this country from that party. It is over this same issue that the decisive battle of the Denver democratic convention promises to take place, and it is this issue that is going to demand the consideration of every citizen throughout this year's campaign and, unless it is answered clearly and unmistakeably now, perhaps throughout the next session at Washington.

".MY WIFE LETS ME CARRT A NIGHT KEY AGAIN." 18 is not especially significant that Mr. Bryan sees victory for the democratic party this fall. He saw it in 1S96, he saw it in 1900 and saw it again in 1904. We cannot help but admire Mr. Bryan's scope of vision.

Two months ago a man bought of us some notepaper and envelopes to use when writing to his sweetheart, and now he is married Another young man stole some of our p&jer to make cigarettes with he is dead. A young lady got some of our paper to curl her hair on, and now sh? has a beau. (We only have a few packakes of this kind in stock.) By using our stationery a person can collect old accounts, change the color of the hair, extract teeth without pain, if you are married keep tab on your husband and find out if he is really detained from home on business, if you are unmarried find out the name of vour fu ture husband or wife, be successful in business, be elected to office.

One thing is worrying Mr. Taft ju-t now is to find an all-comprehending word to take the piece of that crisp classic "dee-lighted." Somehow a woman always gets it Into her bead that nobmly elite ever ban the same trouble with their children as she . has with hers. "There will be no Frank Hitchcock at the Denver convention," says onj newspaper. Oh, you can't tell, Frank isn't working just now. OCR SANE FOURTH.

The Half Way House to

Delphi, Ind., July 2. The Carroll and White county democratic joint judicial convention, the White county democratic county convention and the tenth congressional convention will be held at Monticello'Wednesday, July 22. Thomas It. Marshall, democratic candidate for governor, will speak. T. C. Odell is Carrol county's candidate for the prosecutorship. Fremont Goodwine, nominee for lieutenant governor, will leave after the meetings today and go to Denver, to see how a democratic national convention compares with the one held in Chicago. After that he will go to his ranch in. Colorado and remain there a week or so. The republicans of Laporte county are thinking seriously of nominating Albert Smutzer, the present sheriff, for representative. In regard to the report that State Chairman Goodrich would resign at the state lovefeast yesterday, the information was given out that Mr. Goodrich will not resign at this or any other meeting. The active work of th; campaign, however, will be under the management of Fred Sims, who wi'l be acting chairman, Mr. Goodrich ai sisting him in an advisory capacity Mr. Goodrich will give considerable of his time to political work infTni"'ana. The members o? the state commitee felt better after the meeting than they did before they heard the reports from the different districts. John W. Kern says: "I am not, never have been, and will not be a candidate for the vice presidential nomination." His name will not be presented to the democratic national convention if he can help it. This probably removes, the chance that Indiana will figure on one of the national tickets of the leading parties this campaign, and state pride will have to bo satisfied with the pop'Tist candidal: for the vice presidency, already assured. For personal rensons, Mr. Kern prefers not to be considered at Denver. No doubt this will be a matter of regret to his friends in Indiana. There has never been any uncertainty a to where Mr. Kern stood politically, and his politics has never interfered with his friendships, which have extended beyond party lines. Lincoln, Neb., July 2. Mr. Bryan found time to hand out $1 to a caller yesterday who bore the marks of boxcar travel and lack of regular meals Miller, of Cleveland, was the name the visitor gave and he said he was a member of a reception committee in Cleveland one time when the Nobra3kan was entertained. "I am broke. Mr. Bryan," said he, standing on the porch and looking be seechingly at the democratic candidate. "I thought so," was the reply. "Will this help you out anv?" he asked, as he slipped a dollar into the hand of the needy one. When Miller reached the tnt where the Fairview newspaper correspondent? stay, he said: "Mr. Bryan gave me ?1 and he remembered me. too. I was driving the barouche in which Mr Bryan was riding in Cleveland one time, years ago. I told him just now that I was on the reception commit tee, and sure I was, for I drove th barouche. When he left the carriage I swiped the flag that decorated It Mr. Bryan saw me do It, but he knew I took It as a memento. When I ca'i

Lloyd of Missouri, Its chairman, will take charge. William J. Connors, chairman of th3 democratic state committee of New York, has suggested George C.

Murphy, is authority for the statement that the Nw York delegation to thi democratic national convention will op pose to the bitter end the nomination of William Jennings Bryan for the presidency. The same speaker de clared also that New York's representative on the committee on platform and resolutions will also hold out for a conservative platform. Judge Samuel R. Artman of Lebanon, Ind., who is mentioned as a possible candidate for the presidency on the prohibition ticket, is a circuit jourt judge of Boone county, Indiana, who gave a decision against the constitu tionality of licensing saloons about a year ago. According to his decision tbe state of Indiana had no more right to license liquor selling than to license g?mbling, being dangerous to public morals and public safety.
