recorded in the annals Of the fire departments
Of the country every year.
The fireman sleeps with both ears upon. The
rapidity wl.A which he answers an alarm
seems incredible To illustrate: Chief
Archibald OF the Cincinnati department was
showing a gentleman through his headquarters,
an alarm came in. The box rlng in was 7i7
The office was on the third floor. No sooner
was the number announced on the Indicator than
without a word the chief dartcd out OF the
door, down stairs to the second floor, and a
pole to the first floor and was in his buggy on
the street in ten seconds from the time he left
the top floor. This same company seldom failed
to get out Of the house in fourteen seconds
In the middle of the night, with every man
except the one on watch, in bed and asleep
when the alarm was sounded. And this record
is not unusual but is equaled in every large
city in the country. Indeed a New York com.
pany claims to have an eight.second record in
getting out of the house in response 10 an
alarm. Two and three horsehitches, and every
thing made ready to leave the house made
in shorter time. the records ranging from four
to eight seconds.
The modern Are apparatus is the product Of
Yankee ingenuity and eXcels anything that the
old world can produce.
Numberless appliances are in use, adaptable
to every conceivable need, that will enable the
waging of successful combat against the fire
dragon. The achievements in a single year QS9S)

sacrificed thousands of lives and hun
dreds of millions of dollars to main

elevate to the office of president the
candidate of league which is exert

"The promise of Mr.. Bryan, if elect
ed president, to exert all the power
of that great office to secure the in
dependence of the Tagals and rob the
United States of all We possess in the
Orient, was not enough. Mr. Bryan
promised them more than the Tagals

He promised, If elected president, he
would exert all his influence, after all
the territories of the United States in
the East had been surrendered and
Tagal governments set up. to extend
the Monroe doctrine to the Orient, and
protect against all the world such gov
ernments as the Filipinos might
have in the archipelago. The Monroe
doctrine Is a declaration on the part
of our government that the acquisition
of territory and the establishment Of
monarchial governments by European
powers on this hemisphere would be
regarded as unfriendly to the United
States. This declaration was made for
our own protection, and not as a
benevolent interference with the af-
fairs of other people. No European
nation has acknowledged the Monroe
doctrine as international law, but all
the nations have RETAINED from inter-

4 REMARKABLE condition OF
~ affairs is exhibited in the CEN
" sus report on the population
OF Omaha, now only 102, 555,
against 1l0,452 reported in 1900, a
decrease of 26.9S per cent. This Is
the only instance of a decrease in
population yet reached In the census
count, which now includes more than
dozen cities. II Is explained by the
statement that the enumeration ten
years ago was numerically padded.
old hotel registers were used and the
names on the tombstones In the ceme-
teries utilized.
Ten years ago Omaha was dominat-
ed by real estate spectators who were
bent on manufacturing a boom. They
succeeded temporarily, but the boom
soon collapsed. Within the past three
years, however, Omaha has recovered
from the stagnation following the
bursting Of it's boom, and when the
Pennsylvania commission TO the Oma-
ha exposition inspected its conditions
there were numerous signs of substan-
tial growth. The city's location makes
1t the commercial gateway into a
great inland empire which Is enjoying
today an unprecedented season of pros
perlty, and which cannot fail to in
crease IN wealth. Nothing but the
foolishness of its own people. instanced
in such disreputable practices as the
padding of the census return, can pre-
vent steady and continuous develop
ment.
BoOms are the bane OF true growth.
They induce wild speculation, the rash
taking on of heavy Indebtedness and
disregard of elementary principles of
commercial prudence and honesty. If
the experience of Omaha shall discour-
age their promotion and encourage pa
,ient plodding in the upbuilding of new
cities the lesson will be valuable. Ten
years hence Omaha will redeem her
record. Ten years hence she will ex-
hiblt substantial growth.
