SALEM, OREGON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 13, 1928 WHY FIREWORKS? Salem is one of those unfortunate cities where fireworks are still permitted on the Fourth of July. Last Independence day, two costly fires were caused by fireworks in Salem. At thetime, there was talk of legislating against this destructive custom introduced by the heathen Chinese, but it was for gotten. Now presumably, it is too late to prohibit sale and use of fireworks for the coming Fourth, as some of the mer chants may already have stocked them in anticipation of the usual heavy sale. But the disgusting part of this explosive manner of cele brating American independence in Salem, is that it has be come customary to celebrate it thus for a week or more in advance of the actual Independence day. Last year Fourth of July came'on Monday, but on the Sat urday preceding, giant crackers were booming all over the city and the sidewalks downtown were littered with ex ploded wrappers. Everywhere that a pedestrian stenned. tinv j bombshells burst beneath his uu, it was an unmiugaiea nuisance. Mayor J. A. Livesley IS empowered by Clly ordinance to set the date when fireworks may v. Vii iwi w uui.c year tnan ever before. This movement is already started, and it is up to all citizens who think one or two days sufficient time to celebrate one holiday, if it must be characterized by this foolish and waste- i ful practice at ail, to use their There is no discounting the 'foono -Firawsvrlra 1aoI. f "- .7-" VA crc "e omer ai- versions that are equally pleasant and less hazardous.

An all-star cast from New York banged away for repeal of the 18th amendment, drawing a fiery reply from a Kansas Methodist. At the first sitting of the com mittee for public hearings, a troop of farmers invaded the hall, peacefully enough for all their muuant Danners, to pieaa lor a plank providing for legislative re lief for agriculture. The notice of hearings brought out representatives of almost every national agency seeking rec ognition, including women who asked for equal rights and world peace, proponents of higher tar iff, advocates of American adhe sion to the League of Nations and spokesmen for the American Fed eration of Labor, who urged an anti-injunction and coal relief declarations, among a dozen of others. Cheers greeted the declaration by Dr. Butler that the dry law should be obeyed as long as it is on the statute books and that it (Continued on pace 2.) No. 13 Bf Satterfidd w 2.
