“AMERICANIZATION DAY."
The proposition to make of the
coming Fourth of July an “American-
iration Day" is finding great favor
‘ el'erywhere. The bloody Fourth is a‘
thing of the past in all but a few be
i
nighted and unprogrcssive localities;
The idea that the signing of the Dec-
laration which made us a. nation of
tree and independent citizens could
only be filly celebrated by maiming
pur children is_ fast moving backward
4 to take its place with the witchcraft
vtielusion and other obsolete superstl-
4 Lions.

‘dly be given over to a sort of initiu-'
Lion of new citizens. Receptions aref

ones at 11hlcl1 the speakers are to tell
of the glory and the meaning of clti
zenship in the United States.

er «water, every bitasvperilous. A
norance with a canoe is‘iike a pipe in
a powder factory. ‘
Asafe rule is never to put‘ ‘more
than one person on one seat of a row-
boat. One les's thanthe number of
seats is better. At least‘ one person
should have knowledge of how to

expected, of tides and currents it
there are such to be reckoned with.
The water is a delightful friend to
those who know its ways and under:

find no greater enjoyment anywhere,
nor any safer. ,4
But it repays contempt of its power
with certain death.
____..__Q_._...__
eraser cross.
_Where are the musical cries of the
l old time street merchants? Many of us
can remember when the call of the it-
inerant peddler or hu< kster or scissors
grinder came through open doors and
' windows like music. :It. echoed faintly
from the distance, and grew in vol~
lame, and faded away again like the
{chant of a choir or the rolling notes
int a pipe organ. Or if the call was
0
' ‘sbrill in tone, it sounded like a bit
lof bird song.
The calls were not always distinct-
ly enunciated But they were establish-
ed phrases and cadences that every-
‘ body knew, and the accent and inton
lation were always the same, and thcie
was always music in them.
And now—you stir tuieasily as a
:harsh noise breaks the calm. A bray-
ing sort of “lice-haw!" brings you to
doorway to see what the infernal rack-
et is about it's a human being with
a wagon-load of flowers, and “Spring
flowers!" is what he means by his
hideous “lleohwwl”
Instead of the melodious ”Ole clo' "
jot our childhood there is a wild' shriek
that niakes us feel like burning our
discarded garments rather than sell-
4'ing or giving them to a creature with
such a volce. The "paper rags" man,
once a welcome frlend,'11as become,

i.MR TAFT’S VIEW OF THE PRESS.
(New York Herald.)
“One of the greatest evils we have
today," said Prof. William H. Taft at
:Albsny on Friday, “is the practice of
trial of cases by newspapers. This
‘ practice creates an atmosphere which
|
l
l
i
lis hard for the court and jury to ov-
ercome. ”
Mr. Taft is quite right. The Herald
has always refrained. from comment-
dog on the trial of actions at law no-
ltll the trial is concluded and the ver-
l
‘dict rendered. It is perhaps the only
newspaper that is consistent in that
’mspect. It believes the case should be
rieft to the Judge and the jury and that
expression of opinion should be with-
iheld, and it would not object to the
passage of a law providing that ne‘WB-
papers should be compelled to refrain
from commenting on actions during
their trial. This would not restrict the
freedom of the press. x 4
But there 15' one reform that Mr.
Taft might well climate in behalf ‘of
newspapers. That is the purging of
the legal profession of libel action
sharks that prey on newspapers, take
advantage of innocent and uninten-
timid errors, typographical mistakes,
etc. ‘No newspaper knowingly prints
a mistake and no Bar is benefited by
including in its membership such
shrsters. ' ..

CHICAGO, June 15.——With motor
trains staggering under the crush of
the emergency lraflic, the situation
growing out of the strike of 14,000
street railway employee, which yes-
terday was viewed with a carnival
sphit, was met with sober faces by ap-
proximately 1,500,000 people, whose
usual transportation facilities had
been cut off.
Not a wheel was to be turned on the
1,095 miles of surface lines today. but
officials of the elevated roads had
planned to operate trains under guard
througout the daylight hours.
Rioting or any selorus disorder was
absent yesterday, the first day of the
strike, but police continued on guard
at the car barns throughout the city
1 today to prevent violence. The only
act of violence reported yesterday was
when a strike sympathizer hurled a‘
missile at an elevated train with the
result that a detective guard was
slightly out with broken glass.
Peace proposals were being con-
sidered in many quarters today. The
llllnols State Board of Arbitration has
sent communications to officials of the
traction companies and union leaders
offeringtstste arbitration
The aldermanlc committee, of which
Mayor Thompson is chairman. assum-
ed complete charge of the situation in
so far as the city government is con‘
cerued in an effort to effect an lmmc~
diate settlement. The committee was;
appointed at a meeting of the City
Council last night The council also
passed an ordinance seeking to NO-
era, but it was said today that it would
not go into eifect for several days
even if signed by the mayor.
Big signs advising of the destination
and charge for rides were posted on
motor basses. ice wagons, motor driv-
en coal wagons. furniture trucks and
thousands of litueys. which continued
a rushing business. The standard
price for two miles or more was ten
cents if one stood; where improvisedi
seats were provided 154 and 25 cents
was charged.
Railroads which operate suburban
service were unable to handle the,
crush of passengers. although many
trains were added to the schedules. it.
was estimated that more than 500. 000
persons were carried on steam roads
yesterday, approximately a 50 per
cent. increase over normal business.
Contrary to expectations, downtown
theatres did a rushing business lastl
night, but the amusement parks in the
outlying districts lost heavily The.
largest of the amusement. parks. it
was announced, will remain closed un-
til the strike is settled. Managers of
big doparthxent stores reported that
the volume of business Was not much
below normal. The telephone cog.
had an increase of 50 per ce .1
m number of calls, three million
having been received yesterday.
The city, we» the ordinance by

BRIDGEPORT. June 14.——Whether
or not the death knell has been sound-
ed to the $50, 000 libel suit brought by
John T. King, the local Republican
leader, against former Attorney Gen-
eral John ll. Light of Norwalk when
Judge William H. Williams, sitting in
the Superior Court, Friday, sustained
the demurrer of the defendant that
the complaint did not state a llbel per
so, is still 11 matter of doubt.
Both parties to‘the suit still seem
anxious that the case go to trial on its
merits, and both apparently are still
seeking vindication at. law.
‘ . May'Start New Action»
Judge Eudora 8 Banks, representing
King, declared that 11. wu‘ more than
possible that a new action may be be
run. . .
“I will not say Just what: we will do
until i have a conference with Mr.
King,‘ he said in an interview Friday
evening.
"When will that conference he
held?" he 'was asked.
“The first time I meet him," was
the laconic reply.
Mr. King has been spending the past
week in the Maine woods. It is not
known just when he will return.
On the other band Mr. Light, over
the long distance phone at his home
in Norwalk. declared his willingness to
have the case so to trial on its-merits;
“l debated some time whether or not
I would demur to the complaint " he
said, "although -I felt positive the
plaintiff did not state a legal cause or
action in his complaint.”
Mr. Light declared that Mr. King
had in the vernacular. "shot his pal, "
and that there remained nothing more
upon which King could base a new
complaint.
Result of Speeches.
‘Thelibel action was brought OM“
the former attorney general as the re-
suit or speeches made throughout the
state in the campaign." Light havins

which. alleged that King had once of~

slon. Board also declared King asked

Basis of Action. 1.» 4
It was on this that King based his
action for libel. To this, Mr. high: en?
tered s demurrer, claiming that, even
thoux'b’ths facts as stated were true,
the matter was not libelous no: so and
hence there was no legal cause of a0
