IJ i i i I HV MAKES A PLEA THE POST-STANDARD, SYRACUSE; SAFE, SANE FOURTH 1 1 -a i 1 0 i' i 4 i s. Declares Only Thought on Independence Day Is of Noise Making-. DRASTIC ACTION NECESSARY Believes Public Will Be Held Responsible for Killed and Maimed--A Day of Strenuous Celebration. I believe that God will hold us responsible for those killed, Blinded and maimed as a result of Fourth of July celebrations, unless exert every effort to "bring about a less barbarous observance of the day. With this declaration, Bev, Frank TV.

Stanton, pastor of the Immanuel Baptist Church, concluded a powerful sermon on "A 3afe and Sane before a congregation which filled the edifice last evening 1 The sermon brought to a close of pretty patriotic service in which appropriate addresses and songs played an important. part, Rev, Mr, Stanton" took for his text the following statement, which appeared in a national publication a month ago, regarding the observance of the Fourth of July: I We have now reached a stage in our barbarous methods of the Fourth of July celebrations when drastic action te not only necessary, but should be quickly forthcoming in every community. To go on and kill, blind and malm 5,000 persons each year, principally children, Is nothing' short of murder. "The most horrible of all said Mr, Stanton, "is that 1 caused by lockjaw, and nearly 100 persons die from this each year as a result of Fourth of July celebrations. It has come to the point where we prepare for July 4 just as would for a great national battle, Hospitals are put in readiness, ambulances, nurses, physicians and surgeons stand ready to do what they can to assist the injured.

Meaning of Day Is present form of Americanism is nothing more than barbarism. What patriotic sentiments are aroused by our children shooting firecrackers, revolvers and the like all day long? Simply none. 1 For the great majority who celebrate the day so strenuously, the meaning has been absolutely lost. There seems to be no thought that it was on this day when that sturdy band of men signed the paper which meant the freedom of this country. There is no thought of anything save making noise and tempting death.

"Some cities have been wise, 1 he continued, "In 1909 they prohibited the shooting of firecrackers, revolvers, entirely. Among 1 these cities are Cleveland, CX; Minneapolis, Toledo, Washington, D. Springfield, LeMarSi Baltimore and St. Petersburg Fla. As an instance of what may be done along this line efforts are taken, I win call attention to the fact that in Washington in 1908 104 cases were treated in hospitals, 'in 1909, under the new system, there were no cases to treat from this "Lid" on and Clamped Down in All the Saloons, RESORTS AFFECTED One Proprietor Serves Meal of Bread, Butter and Beans at 5 Cents Per Plate--Restaurant Adjoin? ing Yates Bar Closed.

As a result, the curtain shades were drawn aside and the bars silent and vacant in hundreds of places in Syracuse where once the thirsty on Sunday came Frederick of Datevtlle, Mo. The methods used, by these cities in restricting the use of fireworks explained by Mr.

Stanton, and statistics given showing the" decrease in injuries and fatalities. "It is, however, one thing to condemn and another to suggest a remedy," he said. "To begin with, I believe the day should be a holiday. There should be special exercises in churches, schools, parks and other public places, with patriotic addresses on such topics as The 'Our Country' and There should be large parades, headed by brass bands, and with school children in line. For the evening there should be fireworks in the parka and squares, exhibited by committees of men who understand their This may be brought about by city ordinances and state laws, with a strong public sentiment to back the public officers.
