IUT out the jollity, din and frivolity.
Firecrackers, pinwheels and guns.
Can all the various plain and hilarious
! Noise producers and buns.
Cndles and rockets tflare, that left our pockets bare,
Henceforth we tfive the go-by.
Cone is the riot rude ! We must have quietude
- Now on the Fourth of July.
Squelch the uproarious stump speeches glorious,
Setting the eagle a-sail-The
proud and regal American eagle
i By twisting the said eagle's tail,
i Pass up the attitudes, bromides and platitudes,
Rhetoric bursting on high.
! We've a less talkative and less provocative
' Soft pedal Fourth of July.
Uncle Sam's natal day had grown a fatal day.
Blowing off fingers and toes,
i Boys that exploded didn't know they were loaded
j And lost by an eyebrow or nose.
. Sisters and others were shot by their brothers,
' While some missed an ear or an eye.
We've a less perilous, likewise less garrulous.
Denatured Fourth of July.
That sort of blowing up called for a slowing up.
We who had lost our forbears
Loved Independence, but, oh, you descendants,
We couldn't lose also our heirs!
In all sincerity shooting posterity
Thus came a trifle too high,
i We've a more peaceful, healthful and easeful,
i Safe and Sane Fourth of July.
From our gentility, soothing tranquillity,
Noise and fireworks are banned
, Gone the mortality and the banality
Of the grandiloquent brand;
. Gone the old happy days, poppy and snappy days.
When we shot holes in the sky:
''' Ours for sobriety, pink tea varhty,
Ladylike Fourth of July!

daughter of Mrs. Jessie M. Crossan.
who was accidentally shot Sunday
by her brother, Murjeil. !i yours of

treatment at the Willamette Sana
torium, was l'l'turtied to her home
today.
Tlk accident occurred in the yard
of their homo on Sunday afternoon.
While playing in tlie yard the broth

was bi'lnn used for sleeping pur
poses, mid tlrst attempted to fire It
in the. a r, hut. failed. Believing the
gun unloaded, he compliod with his

tire at his leg. Tin. weiipon failed
to discharge again, but when he
made the third attempt the- weapon
discharged, th- hall entering the
girl's body, just above the waist line
She was immediately rushed to the

While the flights made by the
Taylor-Huddleston aeroplane yester
day afternoon were not as great as
thosei made Sunday afternoon, the
manufacturers demonstrated to the
spectators that the machine could
soar, and it is believed that after the
mechanics make a few adjustments,
and which they did not have time to
make yesterday afternoon that Hud
.dltiston will be .ab!e to give some
spectacular flights in' the city during
the Cherry Fair.
When Huddleston started off on his
nrst ntgnt ne experienced some j f.0 ty

al minutes were spent in adjusting it.
but the mechanics did not. quite suc
ceed in getting it in a perfect condi
tion, and it was the cause rif trouble
in eai'h succeeding flight. The ma
chine, however, took the air the first
flight, but the aviator was unable to
keep it there, and was compelled to
alight after going a short distance.
The second attempt, was better, the
machine soaring high in the air
probably 50 feet or more for quite a
distance, but w hen it came to keeping
it in the air Huddleston experienced
the same trouble as in his first flitht.
The, third attempt was a repetition of
the first.
After the third flight the hour was
getting late, and the spectators were
compelled to leave, and no more ex
hibitions were given. Between now
and t.he date of the. Cherry Fair, the
makers hope to have the machine in
perfect condition, and several tests
.will he made in the time Intervening.
If they are successful a meet will be
given under the auspices of the Cher
ry Fair committee, and if such ar
rangements cannot, be made it is the
plan of the manufacturers to give a
meet on their own responsibility.
i Thousands of people in the city to-,
Ulav assembled in the grove at Salem;
i Heights to listen to the Independence j
day program rendered there this
,'orenoon under the auspices of the
Salem Heights Development league j
and to participate in thp program of
sports and the dance held during the
; afternoon and evening.
i Tlr' forenoon program began at iv
o'clock and was opened with the
,-ong. "America". Following it came
an address of welcome by H. W.
c,.,;,!. nnA Hir.n n celtVtinn bv the
1 band. After listening to a few patri
otic recitations the crowd witnessed
la fan drill bv 30 little girls. This
( w as followed by more music and
, then came a flag drill. The program
'closed with an able an eloquent ad
dress by Hon. P. H. D'Arcy, Salem's
! silver tongued orator,
j F.ii.iny Dinner in Grove.
I Most of those participating in the
celebration brought a lunch with
them and enjoyed eating dinner in
; the grove. The sewing circle served
hot coffee and also hot lunch so that
I those who had not brought lunch
I with them were saved a trip back to
the city.
Many Sports.
After the dinner came the program
of sports. There was every conceiv
able kind of a race pulled off
everything from the egg race to the
fat mans race. There was the
greasv pole and the hard climb of
the little boy for the bill at the top I
and everything else which would
provoke mirth and laughter.
Everybody enjoyed themselves im
mensely and were profuse in their
expressions of appreciation of the
program and everything else from
car service and greased pole to lunch,
hot coffee and patriotic speeches.

will be Governor Woodrow Wilson,
of New Jersey. This appears to be
the general concensus of opinion
throughout the East. With Carter
Harrison for governor of Illinois, and
he can have the nomination if he
wants it, the Democrats would have
a strong ticket next year.
Kidney Pills, both of which are true
medicines carefully compounded of
ingredients whose medicinal qualities

three decades Foley's Honey and

remedy for coughs, colds and affec

above all other preparations of its
kind. Foley Kidney Pills are equally
effective and meritorious.
