City Fire Protection.

To The EDToR-Notices have been
posted calling for special city election
in Grants Pass on Monday April %, for
the purpose OF authorizing the city
council to enter into certain contracts
for giving our city continued protection
against fire. 1t is proposed, as | under
stand the notice, to purchase a chemical
fire engine at a cost Of $l250, or to enter
into a contract with the present city
water company for term of years to
furnish wafer IN case Of fire for 20
hydrants at minimum cost of about
Sll0O year do not favor the pur.
chase Of chemical engine as our city
is about $4,000 in debt and we can
get along without an engine. do favor
having hydrants and as many as are
needed to protect our city against fire.
And now what about the matter OF cash
If We pay $3.50 per month for each hy-
drant 1t means Sl0S0 year for 20 by
drants. 1t means the interest OF 8 per
cenl per annum on nearly $4,000 in
fact If the city wanted to borrow s22, 900
on ten years time it could get the money
at 4 per cent | think t4.50 per mont h
per hydrant is entirely too much lfthe

The coming special election presents
to the voters OF Grants Pass q very
Important matter and one in which
mistake might be disastrous. The
subject OF FIRE protection is one Of very
vital interest TO every business man and
property holder in the city. In this
matter the old feud between the city and
the water company Is apparent but II is
not worthy OF consideration in the case.
The straight business proposition OF
choosing the fire protection which will
be safest and most economical In the
end, is the matter for the voters 10 con-
slider. As to the efficacy of chemical
engine, opinions differ, but the generally
expressed sentiment In regard to them
by those who have observed their work.
Ing Is that they are eilicacious 10 case Of
small fire but not in a conAsgration.
In cities where chemical engines are
used, they do good work IN extinguish
Ing fires In their incpiency, but arrange.
ments are such In city that iires can
be attended to much more expeditiously
than In town OF our dimensions, with
its volunteer fire department who are
always scattered far and wide In pursuit
OF their various vocatioDs whenever the
alarm Is sounded. A chemical engine
requires operation by knowing hand,
though this item is not Of great i'm.
portance In the consideration OF the
question, as doubtless sufficient nun
ber OF our boys could be educated 30
that we might be reasonably sure OF one
or more knowing ones In case OF FIRE.
The greatest advantage Of a chemical
engine over hydrants is its mobility and
freedom TO operate in any part OF the
town. On the matter OF FIRE protection
ms between hydIants and chemical
engine, II would be difficult to find
higher authority than the board OF Fire
Underwriters, who fix the insurance
rates. II Is their business to know all |
there is 10 be known OF fires aud fire |
protection. They are not and cannot
afford TO be actuated by any prejudice
or sentiment but arrive at their con
cluslons by cold biocded reasoning and |
the results Of experience and observa.
tion. II we discontinue hydrants for
n chemical engine, The insurance rates
will be raised probably 20 per cent.

Each to Speak in Every
County in the
State

Columbia, S. c., May 26-As the
outcome of a spirited debate between
United States Senators B. R. Tillman
and John L. McLaurin, at Gaffney yes
terday, both of them put their resigna-
tions in the hands of Governor Nc
Sweeney, to take effect November L.
They resigned with the understanding
that they are to go before the people
of the state in joint canvass, and that
the sentiment of the people is to be ex-
pressed in vote in the democratic pri-
mary to be held in November.
Tillman was last summer reelected
to the United States senate for six
years, and McLaurin has yet two years
to serve. Should Tillman be sus-
tanned McLaurin's seat will be vacat-
ed. If McLaurin is successful, he will
succeed to Tillman's long term.
McLaurin had been invited to Gaff-
ney and the friends of Tillman asked
him to come, too. McLaurin accused
Tillman of attacking him. The latter
declared he would resign, and meet
McLaurin on the stump. McLaurin
agreed to the proposition and Tillman
later. submitted a written statement
which was acceptable to McLaurin, ex-
cept that the latter wanted the cleo
ton to be held in October and NoYem-
Der instead of this summer. McLaurin
stated that this was suggested on ac-
count of his poor health. There were
several proposals submitted between
the two. McLaurin wanted the race
to be confined to Tillman and hImsen.
The latter declared he could not die
tate to the state democratic executive
committee when the primary should
be held or how many candidates there
should be.
The dual resignation as finally for
warded to Governor insolvency is ac-
companied by no conditions. Under
the election methods of this state, the
state democratic executive committee
will arrange the campaign and the
candidates will speak in each of the
forty counties in the state. At the
primary election candidates will be
voted for directly. The general as
sembly will merely confirm the action
of the primary. The campaign will be
pitched year earlier than was expect
ed, but there are half dozen candi
dates in the field and each must speci-
fly for which term he is a candidate.

of land and the only source of the
powers which our government, or any
branch or officer Of it, may exercise at
any time or at any place. The idea
that this country may acquire terri
tories anywhere upon earth by con-
quest or treaty and hold them as mere
colonies or provinces, is wholly incon-
sistent with the spirit and genius, as
well as with the words of the constitu-
ton and it will be an evil day for
American liberty when the theory Of
government outside of the supreme
law of the land finds Judgment in our
constitutional Jurisprudence"
Justice Harlan also commented on
the idea that congress could '1egislate
the constitution into contiguous terri
tory" Such view, he said, might
well cause surprise. Congress had no
existence except by virtue of the con-
stitution.
