EARTH FIRE WALLS.

The value of earthen fire walls separating the diff
ferent wharves and roadways along the water front
was demonstrated in the fire which destroyed por-
tion of the lumber yard of the Stetson Post Mill
ing Company, says the Seattle Post Intelligencer
All that saved the fire from getting beyond control
was the fact that an embankment of earth prevented
its spreading under the roadways, piling and
wharves where it could not be reached to the prop
erty lying to the southwark.
The converse of this was seen in the great fire
which destroyed the business portion of Seattle Is
years ago. The fire might have been handled aand
suppressed before it had done its greatest damage,
were lot not for the fact that the rOadways leading
down to the wharves, from First avenue, were all
Of planking on capped piling, with large open
spaces running the full width Of the street. In
these passage ways there masses of clabs rub
bish and other infammable debris, on which fire
could feed, and where it was impossible to get at it.
1t is shown now that the sooner every street and
roadway on the tide lands is filed in with earth
solidy, the easier will be the task Of dealing with
fires that originate in that part of town. The know
ledge might very well be applied practically to the
Improvement of the safety of the manufacturing
district, wherein great proportion Of the population
OF the city earns its livelihood

THERE is BUT ONE FLAG.

| There is but one flag for representation of the
United States of America. That flag consists of
blue field with 13 stripes of red and white, alternat
ing, and with each state of the imperishable unior
represented by star upon the blue feld-the colors
of the heavens and the symbol of freedom anC
strength, says the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
There is no other hag and there can not be. There
FORE the design of Professor Arnett of Wilberforce
for flag for the negro win come to nothing, The
constitution of the United States has made the Negro
an American citizen, and the flag of the United
States is his flag, as it is the flag Of the whole peo
pie.
Professor Arnett says that every nation has flag
but the negro" He is incorrect in that statement
The African nations have flags and follow them, as
other peoples and nations have flags, but there can
be but one flag for the United States. 1t has been
good enough for all citizens for more than century
and quarter and win be good enough for all years
Ito come. But there is another objection Professor
Arnett would have the flag of the negro with a
staff of weeping willow, to commemorate the fact
that women and children once kneeed and prayed
under weeping willow trees. A black border will
be appropriate to symbolic the color. In the Gen.
ter will be the pictures of five representative col
ored men who stand for the enlightenment of the
people," and he believes the adoption of the flag
would 'solve the race question:
There is little of logic in his belief and there is
no race question save Incorporate men of either
race may choose to force its existence The fact is
that the adoption of the flag of the negro would
tend to raise rather than to kill the question of race
The flag Of the United States is good enough to pro-
teet him.

THE PATRIOTIC PISTOL,

Carefully collected statistics show that We sacri-
Zee over 1000 lives every years in celebrating the
Fourth of July, says the Call. Most of these are
victims of the toy pistol an incendiary and internal
machine for making noise and causing lockJaw.
There is general movement to outlaw this weapon
as means Of manifesting patriotic fervor. No
doubt it win be eectualy suppressed but that will
not end the slaughter on the Fourth
There are other deadly contrivanees, such as can
non crackers, bombs and other fire vomiting, noise
beching devices called volcanoes and by other names
that imply destruction that win fill the void made
by the destructive pistol The law, hand in hand
with common sense, should follow up the work Of
abolishing these disturbers of the peace and de
stroyers of life, until the anniversary of our indie
pendenee ceases to be time of terror and appre-
hension and becomes pleasant, patriotic day of
national enjoyment, as it ought to be. Americans
have run away with the fireworks idea by degener-
ating it to the service of mere noise. In this we
initiate the Chinese in all but their conservatism.
They celebrate New Years or bring new dragon
to town with much ceremony and frecrackering, but
they know how to produce the glad popping of pow
u6r WITHOUT JdklIg lie OF SttllHg Hrt W UuHulgs.
We do both and feel that we have had halcyon and
vociferous time only when we have scared nervous
people into commissions, killed number of small
boys set fire to ladies' skirts by throwing cannon
crackers at their feet put out many eyes by powder
explosions and burned number of buildings on the
altar Of liberty. As the movement against the toy
pistol is general all the country, we will await
the statistics of casualties with interest to if it
has diminished the slaughter of the day
The Spanish war was in elimination on the 4th
of July. We were before Santiago and beset that
last stronghold Of the empire of Philip II on our
independence day. But we killed more people eel
ebrating than were killed on both sides in all that
war. We did it having fun, as some people call it.
We should learn to have fun without giving so much
employment to surgeons, undertakers and grave
diggers.

REPUBLICANS AND CURRENCY REFORM

u n + @ 4 q
The omission in the republican national platform
of all reference to the subject of currency reform
is presumably, to some extent an act of political
strategy says the New York Commercial. The only
allusion which that document makes to the money
question is to declare "it to be the duty of the re-
publican party to uphold the gold standard and the
integrity and value of our national currency" The
republican platform of four years ago, it will be
recalled virtually committed the republican party
to reconstruction of the present currency system.
There can be no doubt that President Roosevelt
regards that pledge to be still binding on him and
his party Only last winter in his report to con-
gress, Secretary Shaw called attention again to the
necessity of a currency system that would be more
responsive to the varying needs of seasons and of
localities and Of changing conditions of business I"
and he urged congress to take some action to this end
The trouble has been however that it has been i'm
possible to devise a system on which all republicans
could agree, and under these circumstances it was
probably useless to try to force currency-reform
measure through congress Candor compeIs it to
be added that there is considerable republican
element in the west that is hostile to an "asset-
currency system, and apparently it was from fear
of offending that element that the present platform
is silent on the subject of currency reform,
Should President Roosevelt be elected and the
republicans secure good working majority in the
house of representatives-they will undoubtedly
have such majority in the senate-there is every
reason to believe that the next congress will be hos
pitabe to the project for currency reform and will
pass satisfactory bill of this kind Certain it is,
at any rate, that no measure of this description
can be expected from the democrats Most of the

WHY MOTHERS
WORRY

Did you ever hear a mother
worry over a plump child :
There is no better bank of
health for a child to draw
from than a good supply of
healthy flesh.
SCOTS Emulsion not only
gives a child weight and
plumpness, but it feeds the
brain, bones and nerves with
strength and active power.
Fewer mothers would
worry If they knew more
about SCOTS Emulsion.
SCOTS Emulsion is substi-
tuted by cheap emulsions and
so-called wines, cordials and
extracts of cod-liver oil.
They can do you no good
and are dear at any price.
Why buy themi SCOTS
Emulsion has been the one
reliable preparation Of cod
liver oil for nearly thirty years.
