There is but one thing to mar the day the customary incessant bang of fire crackers and other explosives. It is true that, a commendable attempt has been made to restrict and diminish the noise. Certain portions of the city will enjoy comparitive peace. But the boom and crash of the senseless cracker in this and other cities makes one long to flee from the maddening crowd's ignoble bang. it is easy to understand why a child loves the noise, just as it is easy to comprehend why ho enjoys" whack ing baby brother over the head with'a toy engine he is a little barbarian and doesut know any better. The savage and primitive instincts predominate, unfettered by tormina or reason. It is not so easy to understand how a fully matured person can find pleasure or enjoyment in noise. It must be a very primitive order of intellect that appreciates the crash of a Fourth of July though a simple minded savage might bo thus easily delighted. It is certainly a miserable way for the enlightened twentieth century to commemorate the founding of a nation and the birth of its independence. In its amusements, humanity does not seem to have changed much with the centuries. Ye flock to the auto race as the Romans of 2000 veal's ago crowded to the chariot race. As the gladiator of old delighted the throng, so does the pug of today. Parades still claim the multi tude as in thedays of the Pharoahs. "We travel thous ands, of miles for a seconds glimpse of the passing tinsel of a Mardi Gras procession or cross the ocean to witness the medieval fuss and flumery of a coronation of a king in name only, even as the ancient traveled to see the triumph of a real conqueror. Mankind has evolvccUa better civilization as the cen turies have winged away, and each survise sees condi tions for humnnitv improved, yet with all of the progress, sensible celebrations have not been evolved, though we are wisely abandoning our crude and childish big noise and returning to the pageants, parades and games of half for gotten civilizations of antiquity before gun powder. was invented.
