Never Saw A Glorious Fourth
The Evening Times commends to the attention of the citizens of Ann Arbor, the following petition handed to it by a bright young pupil of the first ward school. It has a world of meaning in it and would seem to indicate that the citizens of Ann Arbor think but little of that Independence Day which made of this great and glorious country the grandest republic in the world: "We, the undersigned Young Americans of the First Ward school, respectfully petition the patriotic citizens of Ann Arbor to arrange for the celebration of Independence day, for we have never seen a glorious Fourth. Respectfully yours, Carl Schuh, Carl Feiner, Waldo Schilde, Ralph Ream, Gaunt Schairer, Walter Muehlig, Noble Eddy, Julius Gauss, Eugene Kuebler, Charlie Wahr, Rubert Koch, Harry Mathew, Ralph Doty."
