But Mr. Smith is quite disingenuous in the manner and that official reports state that the scope of his defense, as he selects in Russian losses reports state that the different and comparatively imma Russian losses reported up to this terial features of my article for as morning are 12 vessels sunk or cap tured. sault. According to a private telegram, By reference to my said article it which the Central News quotes, the will be noted that the burden of Japanese lost three cruisers, and 12 my complaint was, that the said Southern Oregon Co. had secured destroyers, either Bunk or disabled. Eight captains of Russian vessels the control of the Coos Bay Wagon destroyed in the battle were drowned Road Qrant in a body (about 100,- 000 acres) and had held the same with their sinking ships, and the out of use all these years to the orews were made prisoners.

During sundry and numerous individuals the battle, firing was plainly heard who have been and are entitled un on shore. The article from the Ladies' Home Journal, published in the Oregon ian, on “ Follies (or the Fourth of July,” is pertinent and timely. The fatalities due to unwise parental in dulgence upon that day, as repre sented in the toy pistol, the giant firecracker and other noise-produo- ing exponents of juvenile enthusi asm, have increased steadily fron year to year, until they have reach ed alarming and indeed shocking proportions. The desire to ronke a noise on the Fourth of July is natural one to juvenile Americans. Indeed, this desire is not confined to the youngsters, and it is not the policy of men who remember when they were boys to discourage it. But events have too often proven that this desire is not exercised wisely, and that it must be kept wtthin reasonable limits, if deaths from lock-jaw and injuries more or less serious and permanent to large number of boys are not to fol low the celebration of the National holiday. Looking over the casualty list of the last Fourth of July, it would seem that no father in the United States would run the risk of being accessory before the fact to his son’s death fron tetanus by giving him a toy cannon as a part of his equip der the plain and unequivocal terms ment for producing noise on the of the said Qrant, to purchase and coming Fourth of July; or the loss use and improve tracts there in not of his son’s eyesight, or of otherwise in excess of 160 acres each to any disabling him for life by providing one person. him with "cannon crackers” or the Of course the facts which I al toy pistol which shoots blank cart leged in the above mentioned mat ridges.
