It seems that 4,290 patriotic Americans have bitten the dust in the past thirty years while celebrat ing the independence of their nation by the discharge of fireworks, where as, on the other hand, only 4,044 Americans were killed in the great struggle to set up a nation. In the same period, we learn from the United States Conference of Mayors, sixteen times as many peo ple were injured by fireworks as were wounded during the struggle against the British. However, there are two sides to the debate. If free Americans wish to give up life in celebrating liberty what patriot arises to say they must not have the privilege of dying in order to perpetuate the right of citi- J zens to explode dynamite in the form of fire crackers on the public streets and thoroughfares ?
