BOMBS. Our national independence has been celebrated once again and the cold, gray dawn of "the morning after" brought with it the usual resolutions which re sult from headache and reflec tion. Fatalities are reported from all over the land from var ious causes as the result of celebrating this day and a brief perusal of these casualties makes us wonder if we are a sane p op'e that we indulge in festiv ities so deadly. It is right to be patriotic, but there is no de mand that we be foolishly so-true patriotism doesn't consist of noise alone. That all classes of citizens should be proud of their national independence is fitting, and it ns.L'jrally follows that they should wish to observe the Fourth of July. But we are unfit for inde pcudence and self-government when we retrograde to barbar ian. Our Fourfhof July today stands fo. I""!: else than noise and din at least noise and din are painfully apparent, turn whichever direction one may. The Chinese we esteem as a heathen and barbaric race, and their celebration of "China New Years" we tolerate as an act of a benighted people. Yet on the Fourth of July we turn ourselves loose with something of the fierce fury of the devils in hell and by our superior mentality, are en abled to give greater evidences of insanity than is possible for the Chinese. So far as this city is concerned we are as some other cities; no better and no worse. J But in certain cities the councils have taken steps to protect the people, prohibiting the firing of giant firecrackers and dynamite bombs. In Corvallis there is a great demand for some such ac tion on the part of our council and we believe such action may be expected of those who frame and enact our city laws before Corvallis again celebrates the day in question. There is no desire on the part of anyone to advo cate that which will in any wise injure our local dealers. But as the town is now sold out of heavy explosives timely action on the part of the council will warn them not to lay in another sup ply. Or, if we must have bombs and giant crackers, and dealers must handle them, let the council see to it that some place other than Main street be the firing line. Knowing the dangers arising, the possibility of setting on fire the clothing of women and children, scaring teams, etc.. to say nothing of the nuisance these heavy explosives are to the masses, it is almost criminal not to take steps to safeguard the people. If bombs must boom let it be according to council regula tion of some reasonable sort hereafter. Kelly Not '-In It." Dan Kellv, Oregon's famous fpiiu'er, is ki Eugene suffering with a strained leg which he in jured in Seattle. Kelly's limb is still far from being well and he was unable to go to his home in Baker City to rua ia the races in which he was advertised as the star attractiou ou the Fourth. Kelly's leg is in such condition it is not likely he will participate in any more events during the summer. His plans are undeter mined, but it is pretty well un derstood that he will return to the University of Oregon again this fall. Lunatic Escaped. W A Salem dispatch Friday says: M. S. Hooky, a patient at the insane asylum, committed from this county April 15, this year, made bis escape from the violent ward some time Wednesday night, and at last reports is still at large, making his way toward the Cascade Mountains. He is about 40 years old and was once committed to an Eastern asylum, from which he also made an escape. Althou h not of a vicious nature, he was an agitator, hence his confinment in the violent ward. He escaped by removing the Yale lock from the, window guard of the second story of the building. He either filed the Jock or sever ed the shank with a manila cord. He put in an appearance at his home near Hubbard early thi morning, and struck out fiom there toward the mountains. A Japanese patient who occupied the same room with him made no attempt to escape. Splendid Report.

Portland is fairly alive with tourists and this will continue for the next two weeks from among the delegates who are ia attendance npou the convention of the National Educational Association, the Christian Endeavor and the Baptist Young People. The Commercial Club is especially active in circulating copies of its $5000 prize offer to these delegates. Through the assistance of the Commer cial Club of Portland, J. D. Lee, presi dent of the Oregon Pioneer association) forwarded photographs of Mrs. Mary Ramsey Lemons Wood, aged 120 years, who was crowned Queen of Oregon on the 4i h of Julv, also of General George H. Williams, who performed the cere, mony, to 150 of the leading papers of the United States, accompanied by a story which will call to mind the splendid health giving qualities of the Oregon cli mate. The red fires which burned on he summits of Mt. Hood, St. Helens, and Adams were plautly visible from Portland. The celebration committee requests the Gazette to express through its columns the Bincere thanks of those who had charge of the celebration for the help so generously given in various ways, and to those who responded with liberal con tributions. It was a great undertaking and all help renddred wag much appre ciated . COMMON SENSE ' Leafls most intelligent people to use onty metiaines of Known composition.

All the churches of the city have joined in a plan for union services for the months . of July and Angast, to be held Sunday evenings on the court house lawn.

It was a "Stainless Flag" and temperance service, the principal address being delivered by Mr. Zimmerman, superintendent of the anti-saloon league of Oregon. This was perhaps the best tem perance address ever delivered in Corvallis by any speaker, save possibly the one by . John G. Wooly, given several years ago. Mr. Zimmerman Is thoroughly familiar with his subject, is a pleasant, forceful speaker, and is armed with sound arguments that win friends everywhere for his cause.
