A TIMELY WARNING.

This town has been remarkably
fortunate in having no serious fire
for several years but we cannot
always hope for such luck. There
has been several narrow escapes
from serious loss, but SO far no
fire has gotten beyond control but
been discovered in time to be
promptly sxtinguished. The Town
has no means or appliance what
ever for fighting fire, not even n
ladder or bucket or foot OF hose.
Some simple and Inexpensive APP
pliance and equipments should be
procured and kept on hand at some
central and accessible point and a
little fire squad should be organized
whose special business would be to
have charge of these equipments in
case OF fire, so that there would
be no delay or confusion, as is
usually the case. We suggest that
some of the property holders in the
business part of the town, where
exists the greatest danger and where
a fire once started could do the
most damage, get to gether and
see what can b. done. A cart with
a tank on il and several ladders
could be made here at home and
lot of buckets and hose procured.

Sone Interesting Facts About the
Monroe Doctrine.
An Ohio Man for Second Place ON the
Republican Ticket.
FrO@ Our Regular Correspondent.

From Oar Regular Correspondent.
Washington, ID. c, May IS, I9os.--
There is considerable concern manifested
among members OF the Cabinet aud other
prominent officials in Washington regard.
Ing the extent aud the emphasis with which
the President. in his western speeches, is
dwelling upon the Monroe doctrine. Il is
believed in the East that the Monroe doc
trine is most expensive to maintain and
brings with Il no adequate return. Il has
been pointed out that whenever a European
nation secures control OF colony the com.
mercial status OF the newly acquired terri.
tory becomes fixed, the demand for foreign
goods increases aud the United States Sc
cures It's share Of the commerce In South
America, however. the integrity OF numcr-
Gus petty governments is preserved by the
United States and the result is that these
little countries are constantly at war, that
they repudiate their commercial obligations
without hesitation aud TO the serious loss
OF every American business mau who at.
tempts to deal with them. aud that even
when the United States has favor to ask
as in tho case OF the Panama Canal Il re-
ccives even less consideration than is ac.
corded European nations. Under these
circumstances the officials referred TO re.
gard il as ill.advised for the President to
dwell with marked emphasis upon the sub
ject. The facts are. Of course. that Mir
Roosevelt is afraid TO discuss the tariff be-
cause OF the factional differences ON that
subject in his own party Is unwilling TO
discuss trusts aud monopoles for fear OF
further offending the Wall Street interests
and finds the Monroe doctrine safe topic.
because few people understand II aud most
regard Il as a sort of patriotic duty to up.
hold IL. incidentally. Mr.. Roosevelt wants
a larger navy and the alleged necessity of
maintaining the Monroe doctrine furnishes
an excuse for his coveted "blg stick"
