Insurance Investigation Resumed.

The insurance vestigation was resumed
In New York yesterday, and while the at
tendance was small and the story has
minor place in this mornings newspapers
1t Is not to be inferred that interest in the
subject has waned or that sensational dis
closures are at an end. A great deal of
value to the public should yet be forth
coming. Mr.. Hughes has laid some broad
and deep foundations, and Tuesdays cleo
ton figures are In the nature OF encour-
agement and instructions for him to go on
diligently to the end. We may be sure
that he will do this and it is more than a
promise that when the work is completed
there will be something for the district at
torney to do. That Official fortunately for
the public, is Mr.. Jerome and he stands
pledged to do his full duty in the premises
Just where the chief ''quakes'' are it might
be difficult to say, but that a number of
men who hitherto have stood high In pub
lie estimation are now very uncomfortable
is fact beyond dispute.

remain equal to the task of filling that

Every business man in Washington Is d.
rectly and intimately concerned in the sue
cess of the endeavor to persuade Congress
to grant the necessary appropriation at this
coming session of Congress. 1t Is always
the desire to reduce the fire risk to a mini
mum. In a congested business district,
even in such city Washington. the
best risks are affected by the menace to
sire of every merchant manufacturer and
property owner is to surround the whole
business community with such safeguards
that 1t will be possible for the fire depart
ment always to confine every blaze within
its initial limits and thus to cut off all
chances of spread and a general con-
fiagration.
With the high-pressure service installed
Washington Will be Ideally equipped to such
end. The cost is small compared with
the annual saving In fire losses, and espe-
cially the saving In the cost of extensions
of the department on the present basis OF
steamer companies. 1t Is the urgent duty
of every business man in this District to
exert all possible pressure this winter upon
Congress to secure the necessary legisla-
ton. There are few other items in the list
of local needs so urgent.

Chinese and the Pacific Coast.

Mr.. William E. Curtis. in one of his in
teresting letters to The Star, says:
"Public sentiment on the Pacific coast con-
cerring Chinese exclusion is slowly chang
ing. High wages and the scarcity of labor
are beginning to be seriously felt. The
la ring population has not increased with
the material development of the coast, and
it cannot proceed much farther without re-
Inducements. There must be large addi-
ton to the laboring population, and en-
ployers of labor everywhere concede that
the Chinese altogether the most salts
factory workmen they can find. They are
therefore beginning to talk about restricted
immigration and an amendment to the
exclusion law, permitting the admission Of
a limited number of coolies for a specified
length of time, under bonds that they will
leave the country at the end of the period.
But those who are most interested in this
economic problem are extremely anxious to
avoid an agitation and prevent discussion.
for fear they may excite antagoniSm and
arrest the drift of public sentiment, which
Is now in the direction of modification Of
the exclusion laws"
There will be no change of any sort In the
Chinese exclusion law without an "agita
ton of the subject. OF that the employers
of labor on the Pacific coast may be sure.
The subject has other than economic fea-
lures. and 1t appeals very strongly to the
American people in all of its features No
policy having for its object the weakening
of the exclusion law by pussy footed APP
proaches can possibly succeed. Organized
labor is on guard, and in this matter is the
agent of all labor and all American in
terests.
The impracticabilty and unwisdom of
the changes suggested are easily pointed
out. Bringing in coolies in limited lots.
to be deported after certain time, would
require them to be herded together during
their stay and to a degree made prisoners.
For should they be permitted to scatter.
how would II be possible ever to round
them up again? They are as much alike
as peas in pod, and American detectives
sent on their trails to notify them of the
time and place of sailing for China would
have as difficult a task as searching for a
needle In a haystack. Moreover, they would
be hunting for men who were trying to
avoid them. Your coole once in the United
States wants to stay.
And then bringing in coolies in lots and on
special conditions would produce disorders
coolies would get the worst of it every
time. Then we should find ourselves in
a fresh snarl with China, and one very
much more embarrassing than any we have
yet experienced on this question. For
America, proud as we are of her, is not
running on a millennial basis, and brotherly
love is not the rule of our everyday con-
duct. Some are brothers, and some are
not, and John Chinaman has no straw
berry mark which Identifies him as a
fellow we are looking for. 1t may be sad,
but it is so.

Bosses and Organization.

The political boss insists that he Is alb
solutely necessary in politics; that he al
ways has existed. and, despite a mishap
now and then. always will exist. When de-
feat comes he attributes 1t to a spasm of
the uniformed. which. as he thinks. will
soon pass. and then the way will be clear
for him again. 1t pains him to see the peo-
pie ungrateful and turn from him for even
a day. But he Is not resentful, and when
he returns to his own takes up things just
where he left of
This man when attacked always tries to
hide behind what we know In politics as
the organization. In fact, his impudence
is SO colossal he sets up for the moment to
be the whole thing. 1.-THE organization? 1t
is r. And he succeeds in confusing a
good many people. They rally to his de-
Tense. and make a great cutlery In the
partys name in his behalf.
Now. as the most uncompromsing of
boss fighters Is willing to concede an or
ganization is everything in politics. as In
other endeavors of masses of men. There
must be agreement as to policies. and
ways and means provided for carrying
them out. and in union we find not only
strength but wisdom. Organization rule
is the rule. and properly SO. Given a good
organization, and good man at the head
OF it working for his party and in connec-
ton with the best men in his party, and
any party is entitled to the heartiest con-
CALCULATIONS.
But this is not boss rule The man who
under the name of boss has become an
affront to the American sense of things is
O mere trader, a trafficker in votes for per-
sonal and not party ends. His question
never IS, is the policy sound, or is it prac
teal, or Will the public benefit by 1t, but
what is there in it for me?" He abuses
powers placed in his hands for the public
good. In effect, he betrays a trust. Some
times he is low fellow, with instincts and
methods which. though successful. are very
Objectionable. Sometimes he IS a very
Smooth citizen" of standing in the COM
munity, and with pretensions to statesman
ship. But. high or low. the boss is an in
fuence for the bad in our affairs, and the
Jolt he got on Tuesday was beautiful to be-
hold and most pleasant to reflect upon.

Self-Sacrif1cing Motorists

In a majority Of automobile accidents
OF late the occupants OF the motor are
the victims OF their own indiscretion or
recklessness rather than the public. This
Is both deplorable and reassuring de-
velopment of the motor craze 1t offers
ground for hoping that motormaniacs NAV
come to realize that they are Indeed NAV
Ing with death when they indulge in ex-
cessfve speeds on the highways. with them
selves as the most likely victims. This
realization may in turn result in a deter
mined effort to use the automobile sanelv
and not to abuse its possibilities for high
speed
The latest motor disaster occurred near
Atlantic City and was caused by the furi-
Gus speeding of the machine. The road at
the point of the mishap Is perfectly smooth
and level and was unobstructed There is
a slight bend. and it appears that the
wheels skidded in making this turn. so
high was the rate of speed. Whether the
skidding was caused by break In the
mechanism or the break was caused by
the skidding, due to the excessive speed,
may not be determined, but the fact re-
mains that the car was being pressed at
locomotive pace. and. having no track ana
fanges. was unable to maintain Its trac-
tion, and consequently turned topsy-turvy
