A SEVERE REMEDY.

As was to be expected the Chicago hor- TOT has called forth many comments and suggestions. and many proposed remedies and preventives. One of the most dras- tic propositions that we have seen comes from The Hartford courant. It Is thiss It is possible tnat the sure.t way to bring the needed improvement along theatre in T the middle s of % Sis hail. eTssy Tssy he would have to take whatever came It might be shivering cold or extreme heat %ss be Pay ,ss s that he E. wished be .confiagration. If the owner realized that whatever befell his tn atre was bound to befali him. some things might be different in many places.
 That would certainly be severe reme- dy and there's little doubt that 1t would have a good effect. for then the owner or ma. ayer would not allow the building oc- cupied unless he felt assured that 1t would be safe.
 The attempt to shift the blame to the panic-stricken audience will not answer. It Is true that but small per cent of those who were killed in the Iroouois Theatre lost their lives from fire or from the explosions and the liberated gases. The greater number of them were trod- den down and trampled to death. or sufs located in the crowd. Admitting that to be true does not lessen the criminal fault of those who control the building and al- lowed 1t to be crowded when 1t was not safe. One evidence of th's is the appar- ently well supported statement that of the twenty-five exits from the building only six could be used. The others could not be opened or made available, else the death rolH would be much less.
 It may be admitted that if the audience had been thoroughly composed and had left the theatre in an orderly manner there would have been but comparatively few deaths. even though the time was short and there were but few exits. In other words. if there had been no panic there would have been fewer fatalities. Doubtless that is true, but panic Is just what is always to be guarded against. In the presence of an unexpected and immi- nent danger human beings are but little cooler or saner than sheep. The cry of fire in a crowded house will cause a panic every time, and those who build and con- trol houses in which large crowds are to assemble may do so with the knowledge that panic Is possible at any time. and build accordingly. Perhaps a few exam ples of the remedy suggested by The Courant would not be a bad idea.

 Recently the question has been brought mto the administration of city affairs Dy the attempt of the labor leaders to orgauize the hremen of the city, the paid tp ttpprce. into labor organization. Upon Musham. of the fire department. have placed their veto. The mayor has in- sisted that the business of the city of Chicago, the service for which the fire men are employed, shall take precedence Cnief Musham has supplemented this statement by an order calling upon the memoers of the department to withdraw rom any labor or other organization that nas power to direct the actions of Its membership.
 A tremendous sensation has been cre- ated In Chicago labor circles by the or der. Threats of retaliation. through po- the mayor and the members of his ad- mnistration. The result will be watched With Interest throughout the country, as 1t will demonstrate to what extent the rules of labor orgsniza tions can be en- forced among the employees of city. It Is question that is of vital interest to every municipality.
 There would seem to be no room for argument as to the wisdom and advisabil- ity of the order issued by Chief Musham. Chicago has already learned what out rages may be committed In the name of unionism and cannot afford to have any question of divided allegiance among the men whose duty is it to protect life and property from destruction by fire. The effort of the unions to carry their organi- zation into the fire department is a vital mistake. The fremen are employed by the city to protect the interests of every citizen. union man. non-union man, cap- italist. trust nnagnate, and all alike. They are employed to protect the entire people of the city. and 1t would be nothing short of criminal to allow them to en CT into afhliation with organizations that wou'd under any possible circumstances, raise the question between duty to the general public and allegiance to their trade or ganizatiop
 Conservative union men should-and. we have no doubt, will-in the interests of union principles. use every effort to dis courage the opositicn now being manifest ed among labor organizations to the order of Chicago's fire chief.

 Chicago has furnished the country many striking illustrations of the abuses that naturally result from labor un onism car ried to extreme. There is no question but that the excesses indulged in during 'trikes by laboring men, who by the very nature of their calling, had no right to six to receive fel' owship in legitimate rades organlzati ms, have been more potent than any other one cause in arous- ng a spirit of antagonism among em- lloyers that has taken the form of a de- ermination to protect their rights and esist further encroachments by unions ;hocklng crimes have been committed in hat city in the name of unionism, and so 1mplete has been the asp of the trades organizations on the industrial interests

Sometimes even a Republican gets up courage enough to talk right out and say thtngs For example. at a recent glth- ering of the faithful in Omaha one N. P. Dodge announced that he was tired of being controlled by bosses. And want to assure you" he added: "I. for one, don't propose to submit any longer to the corporations taking a lump of dough. atunng 1t with sawdust, putting in shoe buttons for eyes. manufacturing flannel mouth and calling that thing the party candidate. I'd rather support an apso- lutely bad man than a straw man such as they have been giving us. The re- spectable Republicans of Nebraska feel the same way They would like to see a place made for brains and character and ntatesmanship in the Republican coun- eiia"
 We don't know who he was striking at, but as the Governor of the State was present 1t may be possible that Dodge was hitting him clip behind the ears.

 Nothing could more thoroughly enpha- sine the changed sentiment of the coun- trv than did the remarks of Governor Montague of Virginia at the Mcclellan dinner in New York last Monday evening. AZ all know who have kept posted on current issues, Governor Montague was . skrone Bryan man and we presume was Q lnval follower and firm believer in that nandidate's theories. Part of his address s worth republishing, especially this:

 If ls true the Governor does not tn so many words repudiate the doctrine of free coinage. nor does he declare himself a sound money man. but the language used means both those things, especially when he speaks of ''the recrudescence of our party upon the principles which hereto fore and so long. led us to victory" If he had declared in plain words his repu- dfatfon of the theories of MT.
