FIRE PROOF
BUILDINGS.

The most important duty of the
fire marshal, at this time, is thai
of iging municipal governments
to adopt the building code pro
duced at great expense by the
National Board of Fire Under
writer's. Only by its adoption car
our cities be freed from the danger
of conflagration. Proper control
of the kinds of buildings erected
in business districts will ultimate
remove the conflagration hazard
For the immediate lessenlng OF
this great danger to life and prop
erty cities should pass the ordi-
nance formulated by the experts
of the code committee, four para
graphs of which appeared in re-
cent bulletin. The remaining six
paragraphs run as follows:
Fifth Require all chimneys to
be built with brick walls net less
than eight inches in thickness,
continuously lined on the inside
with well burnt clay or terra Gotta
pipe. Chimneys for high-pressur re
boilers shall have brick walls not
less than twelve inches in thick
ness, the inside four inches of
which shall be fire brick laid in
fire mortar for distance of TWEEN
ty-five feet in any direction from
the source Of heat. All smoke
dues which are heated to high
temperature by smelling furnaces,
steam boilers and similar appara-
tus, shall be built with double
walls of suitable thickness, with
an air space between the walls,
the inside four inches to be of fire
uilCh Id1u III hI0 luuIUhl lOI a ul5-
tance of not less than twenty five
feet in any direction from the
source of heat
All pipes for not air shodld be
at least two inches from woodwork
and all steam pipes should be not
less than one inch from woodwork
Sixth.-Special attention should
be given to large area buildings
and buildings of excessive height.
The necessity of avoiding, as far
as possible, vertical openings in
such buildings, particularly when
occupied for merct tantile and man
ufacturing purposes, is apparent
Experience has shown that these
buildings are dangerous as confa-
grafton breeders.
Seventh.-Provide for the prop
er care and removal of ashes and
all rubbish and dirt from build
ings, especially from cellars, attics
and yards. Authority should be
given the Chief of the Fire De-
partment to enforce this regula-
tion and the regulation covering
the handling and storage of ex-
plosives.
Eighth Require all electric
wiring to be installed in compli-
ance with the rules and regulations
of the National Electrical Code.
Ninth. Install suitable internal
appliances for extinguishing fires,
viz: automatic sprinklers, stand
pipe and hose, chemical fire ex-
and fire pals.
Tenth-Examination of the Fire
Department and Public Water
Works should be made at fixed in
tervals by the city authorities.
Many of our cities have outgrown
their public facilities for extin-
gushing fires and the authorities
should make careful study of this
question with a view to extending
the fire department and water sup
ply service, including water mains
and hydrants of modern types,
not only making them adequate
for present necessities, but also
providing for future demands.

What Is Legal Tender?

Out west there was good deal
of surprise to learn that gold GER
titiculcs are not legal tender. A
granger banker would not believe
it until he obtained the following
official statement from the treasury
department.:
Gold certificates, silver certiti
Gates and national bank notes are
net legal tender, but both classes
Of certificates are receivable for
all public dues except on imports.
and may be paid out by the gov
crnment for all salaries and other
debts aud demands owing by the
L. S. to individuals, corporations
and associations within the United
States.
Gold coin is legal tender at its
nomina! value for all debts.
standard or silver dollars are
legal tender at their nominal or
face value for all debts public or
private, except where otherwise
expressly stipulated in the con-
tract.
''Subsidiary silver is legal tender
Of amounts not exceeding ten dol
lars in any one payment.
''Treasury notes of the Act of
July II, 1890, are legal tender for
debts public and private, except
where otherwise expressly stipu-
lated in the contract.

Children Library and the Home.

With the increased interest in
the problem of chiIdrens reading,
there arises Il donht which cannot
very easily be disrelied. Despite
the fact that the public library,
the public school, and the State
are concentrating their Efforts on
the subject in most commendahIe
manner, thelr aims and purposes
are as yet o1ly half conceived:
while the cultural value of reading
for It's own sake Is being almost
wholly ignored. We iind the IL
brary doing school work and the
teacher doing library work: and
together i, is looked upon rs their
requisite duty to accomplish an
amount of training which should
be re!egatcd to the province of til G
home.
Let us no: regard the matter in
sentimental fashion. The parent
bas first indisputahle right to
mould the initial tastes Of child
hood. and it is because the parent
has, to barge extent. become cal
ious to the situation that the libra
ry organization has been forced TO
step into the breach. :
In the school, reading has become
stereotyped: It is necessarily pre-
scribed. In the library it should
remain nnfettered. provided al
ways that the open shelves are
always stacked in quality and no,
in quantity. But. IN order To
reach any basis Of personal intiH-
ence, the library should have the
co operation of the home, which,
unfortunately, it is not receiving.

Vertical Writing Tabooed.

One of the petty annoyances to
which business men are subjected
is the vertical style of writing used
by many applicants for positions
or by actual employees. They
complain that the vertical system
is impracticable, slow and entirely
unsuited to the exigencies of busi-
ness practices. SO they descant
against vertical writing and berate
the system that teaches it. Their
grievance is not large enough to
warrant the calling of mass meet
ings of protest, but it is, indeed,
unfortunate that children are be-
ing instructed in a system which
han dicaps them in securing posi-
tions after they leave school. Why
it should be taught longer is a

The reason national aid has
pevcr been given towards the i'm
provement of country highways Is
that these avenues of traffic are
those of the common people. If
any great transportation corpora
ton had u particular interest in
the maintenance of good roads
throughout the country Congress
would be bombarded with bills for
aid in that direction and an insis-
tent lobby would roost in Wash
ington until those bills were lass
cd. The government has spent
millions to aid the building of
railroads and the improvement of
waterways and harbors because
private interests were benefited
thereby, but when such great
public necessity as good country
highways appeals to Congress it is
met with deaf cars. Too much
money is needed to advance pro-
jects in which the public carrying
corporations benefit to help a
movement purely for the benefit
of the farmers who feed the ma
tiou. The farmers should rise up
and demand their right, and any
member Of congress from the
country districts who refuses tc
listen to the appeal and aid its
purpose by his vote should be
promptly retired for Il man whose
thoughts arc for the welfare OF
his constituents.

President Roosevelt in ono of
his recent speeches proclaimed
that there would be no war upon
honestly acquired wealth, that it
should have and would be given
the protection Of the law. In
this, while our present system of
Industrial effort through private
capital adheres, no one will take
issue with the President; but,
while thus urging the sanctity of
honestly acquired wealth, be leaves
Us as much in the dark as ever as
to where we shal. find the dividing
line between the legitimate fortune
and rapacious, illegal greed. The
Rockefellers, Morgans, Baers and
90 on, argue that their great for
tunes have been acquired within
the law and are as honest as any,
and Mr.. Bacr goes so far as to
claim that he and other men Of
great wealth have boon devinely
appointed to assume these accumn-
lations. Ali this discussion as to u
better division of the results Of
the industrial effort Of the people
leads nowhere unless q determin-
ate mark is set Us to the limit of
the share of capital or labor. That
mark once set the process Of dis
tributon would be easy, in fact,
the President has slrcady suggest
ed the course to be followed, to re-
turn the wealth of the people to tho
people by graduated tax upon in
dividusl fortunes. This wealth re-
verting to the people through the
government would be expended
in improving tho conditions under
which the working masses live.
Another point we seem TO lose
sight of is the inevitable tendency
of concentration to overcome both
waste in tho direction of capital
aud tho energy of labor. 1t would
be futile, if it were possible. to
check this concentration, it is an
economic condition of the age in
which wo live; but the trouble is,
that this very condition haa
wrought the evil which we rocog-
nize IN the inoldinate growth OF
private fortunes. The problem
before US then, is, shall the results
Of this system concentrate to q
comparatively small number OF
men. who are by it made outra
geously rich, or to the people for
tho improvement Of society, The
