Press says:
Very little has been done up to this

thought of, has rested mainly on the
efficiency of fire departments. But the
possibility of fire extinguishments has
limits. A greater work must be done
that is, to begin further back and rem

In the list Davenport is down for a

is listed for a 100000 fire in January,

TAKEN FOR MRS. ROOSEVELT.
Relative Of President Innocently De-
Iudes a Theater Crowd.

IUOeS q UcdtcT STOWOs
New York, Dec. 27-Mistaken for
President Roosevelt's wife and daugh-
ter, Miss Alice, Mrs. ]. Westervelt and
her daughter, Miss Alice, attracted con-
siderable attention yesterday afternoon
at the performance of "Parsifal," at the
Metropolitan opera house. With them
We're two small boys, who bore a
strong resemblance to two of the pres
idents sons and another woman and
Rev. DR.. Williams, of Tarrytown.
Before the party reached the opera
house 1t was reported that the presi-
dents wife and daughter were to wit
ness the performance and the knowing
ones pointed out what seats they would
occupy The rumor spread and was
the cause of general comment, mas
much as it was understood that they
would be at home today at the white
house.
They had engaged the table for
luncheon in one of the smaller rooms
of the restaurant in the building and
tables We're at premium In that por-
ton of the restaurant. Every dish
served to the party was cause for dis
cussion and those who were within ear
shot and caught snatches of the con-
versation thought themselves favor
ed.
They became Convinced that they were
in the presence of the presidents fam
lily when a handsome young woman
was addressed as Miss Alice. 1t was
not until they left the restaurant where
they loitered until time for the after
noon, performance, that the general
mistake was learned from Rev. DR..
Williams. He seemed to appreciate
keenly the humor of the situation and
said he had been unable to understand
why his party had been so closely OBJ
served.

IA FoLLETTE's GREAT VICTORY.

tory for the governor and his frien1s
Every contention they made has Deen
upheld They are the regulars" the

The decision puts tie Republican ia
tional committee in the unusual stti-
tude of endorsing a boiling minority,
for that committee. thanks 70 the in
fiuence Of Spooner and Quarles, seized
Tie national delegates named by the
senators.
The effect of the decision on the cleo
ton in Wisconsin remains to be seen.
1t is reported that the boilers nominee
for governor, Samuel A. Cook, will
withdraw from tie ticket. The 80
called Stalwarts may nominate a man
to succeed him, for their committee has
the power to do so. or they may abide
by the decision of the court with such
philosophy as they can muster. Only
one thing seems certain. The fight
against LaFoIlette By the corporations
and their representatives will not be
abandoned.
LaFollette stands for so much the
corporations object TO that they can
not very welf> afford 10 let him have
mdisputed control of the state. In
their fight they will. of course. be aided
by Senators Spooner and Quarles and
their following. This win put the sen
ators in an awkward position. They
have contended all along that they Iep-
resented majority Of the Republican
party in Wisconsin. It is now quite
apparent to all disinterested observers
that they do not.
The truth is that Governor LaFoI-
lette has been in the right all along
He had a majority in the state conven-
ton, obtained, it is true, BY seating
some of his friends who came in con-
tested delegations, but the merits Of
those contests have never been made
public. It is just as fair for those
unacquainted with the evidence to as
sumo that tie committee decisions 10
favor of the LaFollette men were right
az to assume that they We're wrong.
Those who know something 9tout the
meIhouS OF corporations ano thoSe VINO
represent them in politics know tkat
they often use questionable means TO
bring about the ends they Cesire. II is
entirely probable that such means were
used in the efforts TO deprive Governor
LaFollette of the control Of the WIS
consin convention.
In any event the decision has net
lessened the Democratic prospect for
carrying the state this year, boch for
the Democratic state and natioRai tick
cts. The surest way out Of the !nuddle
for the people of Wisconsin is to vote
both factions out of existsflca.

SENATOR FAIRBANKS CHANCE

REING A DISTINGUISHED citizen
- of q great state, the nominee of
his party for a great Office. senator
Fairbanks is entitled 70 and viii have
a most cordial reception in Utah. The
Herald joins in tie wish that he may
enjoy his visit, thrive on Utah diet,
slumber sweetly in the mountain ait
of this Incompatible climate, and dc
part with none but pleasant memories
of mis- stay.
A good many OF Us wish he might
have come under more suspicious con-
ditiOns than mark his advent A good
many of US are wondering how he is
going to steer clear OF the Scylla and
Charybdis of SmOot and Kearns. but
those who have seen the Indiana sena-
tors tracks in the snow around Indian
apOlis during a campaign know that he
is able to skate a figure eight all
around crack in the ice without get
ting his feet wet, and have hopes Of
him in this emergency.
L may not be amiss TO make a sug-
gestion in the interest of the guest Of
the day. As a good Old Methodist bro
Their. reared in the amen corner" &C
the Meridian street church, It. might
embarrass Kim in his Indiana canvass
to have il announced that he has been
Brother Shoots guest on This aus
piciOus occasion.
We who know the junior senator gre
quite sure that he is not a polyganist,
does not wear horns. eats, sleeps and
dresses as other Christians do, and is
entirely innocuOus--except as a pail
tieian-eturchman.
But along the banks of the White
the Wabash and the Ohio. there IS a
strong conviction that the provo apos-
tie is an extraordinary creature. pOssi-
bly, human. but most certainly danger
Gus, and if Fairbanks and Smcot are
associated too intimately here. the
Hoosier may lave to explain things
when he gets off n Tom Tagearts
eating house in indianapolis.
1t might be asking too Eluch. but
while he is here we would ike 10 know,
too. just which faction Senator Fair
banks is going 10 believe. VIII he
confirm the gleefuI assertion Of .sena-
tor Shoots friends that Roosevelt apd
Fairbanks are his staunch supporters
I'm his hour of trouble and will see
Smoot through his hearing safely?
Certainly if the Republican admins
tration and campaign management feel
that way about Senator Smoot, IL
would be the manly thing for Candidate
Fairbanks TO say right out IN meet
ing. Besides, it would add immensely
10 the interest Of the campaign. not
only here but all over the country.
But IL Mr.. Fairbanks feels a. good
many people in Utah feel, that Smoct's
activity in politics has been a blunder
for him for his party and his state,
then the Indiana senator certainly
ought to be outspolSen about IT, He
might lose some votes in Utah, but he
would make an everlasting reputation
for courage.
The tariff, the money issue. the CUTS
lions of imperialism and a big navy,
are all Of much less infDortancs here
III Utah Than the question of restoring
peace in this state. and regaining Che.
prestige abroad which Las beeT lust
the blunders OF the Republican
party in Utah. Senator Fairbanks
ought really TO give US frank State
ment of his opinion on the local situa-
ton. An anxious public awai1s his
statement.
