"A CHINAMAN'S CHANCE"
'• While admitting" that our knowledge of modern .slangis somewhat vague—-perhaps hazy would be the word—we
must confess to having heard the expression, "He hasn't a
Chinaman's chance." We gatflicred that a Chinaman's chance
was what might be called infinitesimal and might be likened
'tb a tallow cat chasing an asbestos mouse through. Hades.
rThis is purely a surmise on our part and is open to cort^ction.
l>
However, an occurrence of Sunday leads to the belief that
our, surmise was correct and that a Chinaman's chance is just
about nil. Take firecrackers, for instance. Everyone knows
that to China belongs the credit for the invention of firecrackers, if such an achievement is entitled to any credit. The
firecracker forms one of the principal ingredients for a successful Chinese New Year's celebration. If one happens to be
passing through the Chinatown of some northern city on the
jnorning after New Year's Day he is likely to come to the conclusion from the gory appearance of the snowbanks that the
Battle of the Marne had been fought over again.
Some of the brightest minds of our own fair land borrowed
the' idea shortly after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Perhaps if they knew what their exhibition of
subtle wit would eventually lead to they would have left the
Chinamen to their own delicate littfle playthings or else kept
the Declaration of Independence a dead secret. W h a t the
world has had to suffer since 1776 through the exhibitions, of
liumor that a combination of a full grown nit-wit and a few
firecrackers can make is an aw*ful price for any country to
pay for liberty. If King George had known how the Fourth of
July was going to be celebrated there would probably have
been much to compensate him for the loss of the colonies and
he might have had many a good laugh to himself.

TO BE HELD TODAY
Thus it is tlrat we can look back through many stages
of developments of tdie city, and in each we see something
better than we had before. This dogged spirit of making one
epoch a stepping stone for another instead of a toboggan slide
has been the one thing- which has stood behind us as a city.
We have never suffered from " g r o w i n g pains" but have main.1 nincd a natural, healthy growth whioh has given us an enviable position among the smaller cities of the State—even of the.

We do not wish h to be understood that we object to
firecrackers. Any such idea would be an injustice to us. The
only abjection we have to firecrackers is the touching of
