The killing of two fremen in
the Ryan hotel fire at St. Paul
Sunday calls attention once more
to the fact that the men who
fight our fires are among the
heroes of the land. In the cities
where the fireman is paid a
decent wage and apparently sits
around all day and plays
checkers it is quite customary
to speak of his job as snap.
But the fact remains that he
risks his life, and sacrifices it
too, more often than anyother
public servant, only excepting
the soldier in time of war. Re.
call the big fires of the last few
years and it will be found that
there is scarcely one where one
or two or more brave men have
not died at the post of duty, either
fighting back the flames or max.

The house of representatives
is at least consistent in voting
against the proposition Of buying
material for the Panama canal in
the open markets of the world
rather than in the United States
exclusively. It will cost millions
upon millions more to do it, but
if it is a good thing for the pub
lie to be compelled to pay two
prices because of high tariff on
trust-made goods, it surely is a
good thing for the government
to be compelled to do so too.
