6 ' ERIE PEACE CELEBRATION I WILL CONTINUE FOR WEEK. < On? Hun<1r??<lth Anniversary of Commodore Perry's Victory Formally Opened. Erie, Pa., July 6.?True to the conviction that their observance of ] the one hundredth anniversary of I Commodore Perry's victory on Lake ' Erie was more to commemorate a < century of peace than to gloat over \ a fallen foe, the chiming of church bells and the booming of cannou this 1 morning formally opened the cele- i HrnHon of thp PVPnt ill L]ri6. "Peace Sunday" was the name given to the occasion by W. Pitt j Gifford, chairman of the Perry Cen- I tenuial Commission, and throughout < the day there was no deviation from the title.

The t Rev. Dr. Rodgers Israel, bshop of the f Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Erie, delivered the invocation. State Sen- s utor Henry A.

Thousands of visitors were hauled up the gang plank of the old v fighting vessel by sailors from the p "Wolverine. Each sailor knew the P story of how, years after Perry had t swept the British from the Creat ? Lakes, the Niagara had sunk in Mis- j' ery Bay near Erie and how she had ll been raised and reproduced from the ^ drawings used by the shipbuilder 1 who gave her form and being. The Erie celebration will continue ; throughout the week. Already thou- a sands of persons have arrived from 1 all parts of the country.

And so the little ones live? lomehow, enduring a deprivation hey never realize, suffcrine acute orment in the oven-like heat and too >ften yielding at last to the grim dutch of death, while parents? :bemselves reduced to numb despair ?look on helplessly. Never shall we forget a brief bit )f the hustling, whirling drama we *aw once in Chicago on a desperately hot August afternoon. We caught a Clark street cable car and took a 3eat and as we sat down noticed on at next in front a young mothsr, perhaps twenty-five, with a young baby in arms. The little one lay prostrate, with the death pallor on Its face, gasping for breath. Startled out of all conventionalities by the sight of a baby dying under such conditions, we asked the young woman, In what must have touched her as a tone of sympathy. If the case was desperate. "Oh," she exclaimed, In Instant tears, "It's the heat. Baby is Just a-dying of the heat. I'm taking him out on the car in hopes It will help some."

In America the Governnent an<l the Government alone can radicate the tick, which in the South i.as been so costly; but the Governnent cannot compel the farmer to also calves and forbid the slaugher. If the farmer cannot sell his proluet at the moment that he believes t profitable to sell he will not raise chat he is forbidden to control. There will have to be a readjustnent of prices; a lower price, doubtess, for calves, and a higher price for ceding the calves until they are fit j or slaughter. IM (INKS moment we had reached our destilation, dropped from the car and ne;er saw them more, but that pallid, gasping baby, "just a-dying of the leat" in Its own helpless mother's lrnis, has always been with us as a memory of what a pitiless furnace .he great city is for little ones xmong the poor. Especially is it so tor little babies, who must necessarily lie on something soft and therefore heating in sultry weather or in some one's arms?a still warmer situation, and so they suffer and succumb. We people of the South, in oyr beautiful towns and cities, not yet grown into miles of building and pavement, where multitudes are immed into each square mile here greenery and flowers have long ago vanished, broad open spaces of country are closed forever from view?we, in our roomy homes, set spaciously apart and wreathed about with cool green growing things di reci irom Nature's hand, are indeed blessed beyond words to express. We have our troubles these hot days, but our burden is small?exceedingly light eside that borne by millions that live under the same flag with us. As Luck Would Have It. Philadelphia Ledger.
