A Simple Fire Escape,

duck sack and a strong MANILA rope.
The sack should be deep and wide
enough to hold several persons and have
a rope we'll bound around the top to
which the rope bail is attached. If no
appliance be provided to hold a stout
sail across the window on the inside,
then several wraps must be taken around
some article of furniture, wife and
children dumped into the sack, the hus-
band paying out the rope and letting
them down. The sack is then drawn
up, when the remaining occupant goes
into the sack with the slack end of the
rope, and paying it out let's himself
down. Rope and sack will pass unhurt
past considerable sheets of flame from
windows below, and if occasionally
treated to a strong solution of alum wa.
ter, or ever strong brine, are of difficult
ignition. The deep sack dispels the feel
ing of fear in not beholding the dizzy
height and also protects from fame in
passing windows. Every window should
have strong staples into which a rail
a be inserted and which should be
ever ready if needed. A cool head could
thus let down, in many cases, numerous
loads, and for that matter there may be

VI several ugly scandals at present &C.
cnpying the attention of this nation
none is uglier or more disgraceful than
that of the armor plate and gun carriage
frauds. The facts in the armor plate
matter seem to be that the Carnegie
Steel company succeeded in foisting up
OF the government and making it pay
Cor armor plate that was almost value
less, an article far inferior to the plates
which had passed inspection in the In
dian Head tests. The inspectors at the
Carnegie company's plant are supposed
to watch every step of the process of
manufacturing the huge plates, and they
place their mark upon such as are con-
sidered perfect. These are placed in a
pile for final trial.
Through means known to somebody
VIII as yet has not told how it was done
the plates for final trial at Indian Head
were up to the mark and beyond it,
while those of which the trial plates
were supposed to be merely samples
were wholly worthless as a means of de-
Tense against shot and shell. The worst
Of the matter is that the Monterey and
the New York have been fitted out with
this worthless armor. 1t is nothing less
than a national disgrace for which the
perpetrator should be made to pay to the
uttermost. Il cannot be that the fraud
was committed with the knowledge and
approval OF Carnegie himself. Or is
it possible that this is the usual style of
doing business at steel manufacturing
plants, and that the men merely forgot
and went or turning ont the same kind
of cheap commercial work that they or
d~inarily do!
In case Of the Pittsburg steel gun car
riage castings that split to flinders on the
first trial there is also a mystery. 1t is
claimed that a discharged workman
played a trick on the manufacturers and
substituted worthless castings for the
good nes made for the government.
But how could such a thing have hap
pened: Moreover, how many of these
tricky steel gun castings have been
paid for at a high price by the govern
ment and are now actually mounted on
board the ships of our new navy?

A political economist reads in the gov
eminent report that the number of hogs
fattened in this country is less by $780,
600 than it was two years ago. The
shrinkage began in 1892 and extended
into 1898. The diminution was 5000, 900
on the average for both years. The econ
omist argues from this that there were
fewer hogs fattened because there was
less corn to feed them on. there being
less corn because more of it was used
for food by the increasing human popu-
la<ion. The economist is wrong. There
have been fewer hogs fattened the past
few years because so many farmers went
out of the pig business almost altogether.
The price Of pork was so low that they
became disguised and sold off their stock.
Then suddenly, when there were only a
few hogs left, comparatively, the price
went up with a bang; farmers were
short and caught mapping as
we'll. 1t requires two or three years to
replenish the stock and get the supply
back where it was before the reign of
good prices began. And this is why
fewer hogs were fattened in 1928.

Three Trustees for Three Years

Are Elected.
The Fair Sex Assemblies at the Pools
The Heaviest Vote Ever Cast
in a School Election.

Yesterday was election day for the
selection Of three school trustees for
three years, and two for one year. The
polling booth was in the old school house
on the south side, and from the time of
the polls being opened it was seen there
was going to be an exciting contest. A
crowd assembled around the booth and
hacks, omnibusses and express wagons
arrived frequently with loads of voters.
The fair sex exercised the right they
were entitled to, and assembled In num-
bers almost equal to that Of the sterner
sex. This election, though showing the
heaviest vote ever polled in this city for
a school election, was remarkable for the
quiet and good humor with which it vas
conducted; not only was there no quar-
reling, but also not one bad or profare
word was heard at the polls. After this
who shall say that the presence of ladies
at the polls has not a hImanizing effect

each candidate is given below:

CONeN's ARMY.

Various political schemes have been
charged upon Coxey by the so called
plutocratic press. Wicked goldbugs and
others have not hestitated to say that a
demand for silver coinage was tine con-
cealed African il the wood pile of this
army of the unemployed. But Citizen
Coxey says no. He VOWS by all that is
good and great that he only means a
move in the interest Of the Good Roads
association and of the unemployed mil
lions of the United States. We will 90
to Washington in a peaceful. dignifed
manner, says this leader. We will pc

or less, of national scrip and set the I'M
employed to work at making good roads
throughout all the Union. That. in
brief, is the plan.
The originator Of the scheme thinks he
sees in it a way TO get decent highways
throughout the length and breadth of
our land and give food to the hungry. AS

no question. Property in America would
be worth many millions more if we had
as good roads as France has. for in

1t may be mentioned, by the way, that
the roads of France were built in exact
ly this way for the purpose of feeding
the hungry and silencing their murinurs
of discomfort. An American, Mr.. Jo-
seph R. Buchanan, who has given con-
siderable thought to the subject in ear
nest, declares that part Of Coxey's
scheme is not SO very wild. Suppose, he
says, congress should issue legal tender
notes for the purpose of roadmaking.
The individual states would be more in
terested than the national government
in the roads. If they should agree to
pay every year, of the amount expended
in the bounds of each state, say, / per
cent each, the roads could be construct
ed, and the national government would
not feel the expense. The added value
of the property along the improved high
ways would give the individual states so
much increased annual revenue that
they would not feel the expense either.
