Saving the Children In the campaign which is be ing waged for a safe and sane Fourth we know of no stronger argument for it than an article which appears in the current number of the Review of Re views from the pen of John M. Huber, M. D., which we print below in part: "It may surprise many a citi zen to know that a very rational and earnest movement against the use of fireworks on Indepen dence day is now in its seventh year; nor is it universally realized among us how many of our chil dren have, by reason of these yearly celebrations, suffered the most cruel death kuown to medi cal science. Were any such emotion possible in the English breast, that of satisfaction for the losses and humiliations en dured by England in the war for independence at least so far as human life is concerned could hardly be more thoroughly justi fied; for, taking no account whatever of our national losses of many decades past, but only of those incurred in the last three yearly celebrations and in the metropolis alone, we find that 1339 have been killed and in juredmore than the casualties in the Revolutionary battles of Lexington, Bunker Hill, Fort Moultrie, White Plains, Fort Washington, Monmouth and Cowpens combined. Nor have these losses been among the fighting men, but rather among little children; and of the latter wounded on Independence Day many that have not died have nevertheless been dreadfully maimed and disfigured for life. "The American Medical Asso ciation has gathered most of the statistics upon which the fight against the use of fireworks on the Glorious Fourth has been based. A year ago it demon strated in it3 Journal that in the six preceding years our whole country has shown for that f esti val a grand total of 29,296 killed and wounded. In 1903 there were 415 case of Fourth of July tetanus; in 1904, 105 cases; in 1905, 104; in 1906, 89; in 1907, 55 recorded cases; in 1909, 76. In 1909 there were 150 cases, the largest number since 1903, prob ably for the same reason that the Fourth coming on Sunday, the celebration was practically one of three days; as it comes this year on Monday there is now to be feared another triurnal tribute to the modern Moloch." It must be and is possible to celebrate the American nation's natal day without abating the patriotism of its most ardent patriots, in a way that will be as inspiring and more lasting in its influence than the noisy dem onstrations we have been used to. Many communities are now arranging for rational means of celebrating the coming Fourth, which should be fully as enjoy able as those heretofore obtain ing and without results so dread ful as have here been set down. Why not Hood River? Telephone Rates The proposed raise in telephone rates is not a question in which the public is interested in the salary drawn by the manager. This is a matter for the discre tion of the stockholders and board of directors. The vital point is that the rates that are now in effect in Hood River are as high, and in most instances higher than, those in other cities of the state where telephone systems are being successfully operated. To ask patrons of the company here therefore to pay the increased rate must be view ed as an act of extortion. It is true the stockholders of the com pany have never received any dividends or interest on their money, but it is also true that their stock has almost doubled in value. It is likewise apparent that in the near future it will be still more valuable and pay hand some returns. The fact that the company has needed more capi tal from the start to enlarge and develop its service is proof on its face that the field is a lucra tive one and that the company instead of asking patrons to fur nish this capital, should seek other ways of providing it. The residents of Hood River have been loyal to the company since its organization and ought not to be asked to discount the future.
