NOT RESTORED
THE SENATE COMMITTEE VOTES
DOWN BOTH BILLS.
Democrats Solid--Snake River Dam
Engages the Senate All
Day.

Washington, April 1.-The senate
committee on military affairs voted
down both the Warner and Foraker
bills providing for the restoration to
service of negro soldiers discharged
on account of the Brownsville riot.
The defeat of the bills in the COM
mittee was due to the absence of
some Republican members and the
solid opposition of Democrats.
Adverse reports will be made upon
them and in that way the measures
will be brought before the senate.
The Republican members of the
committee expect that one of the
bills will be enacted at this session.
Snake River Dam.
Nearly the entire session OF the
senate was consumed in consideration
OF the bill to permit the building of a
dam on SnakeS river, Washington.
and an adjournment was only reached
after Hieyburn announced he would
not permit vote TO be taken.

are scores OF SCHOOL districts, where
such precautions are not taken.
In the first place the students
should be thoroughly drilled in what
is known as "the fire drills and they
should be taught to go out any one OF
the exits. Then every window, every
door, every possible means Of exit
should always be kept unlocked and
all doors should open outward. Fire
escapes should be provided in con-
venient places on every floor. The
same rules and regulations, which
govern theaters, places of public as
semblage, and public halls, should
govern the construction and mainte-
nance Of school buildings.
The fire at Collinswood will proba-
bly, be followed, as was the famous
Iroquois fire, by an agitation for more
fire proof construction. It will be the
public school buildings which will be
affected and the children will proba-
bly, be given better protection as a
result, but 1t seems strange indeed
that it takes some such catastrophe
to fully awaken the American people
to a danger.

THE SCHOOL HOUSE DISASTER.

The burning Of the Collinwood
school house, eight miles from Cleve.
land, Ohio, Wednesday, resulting in
the death Of probably 1870 children,
will be recorded as one OF the most
terrible tragedies in the history Of the
public schools Of the nation. There
has probably never been such a disas-
trous fire in a public school house.
Yet, it is surprising indeed that there
have not been scores of such confa-
grations.
The conditions, which existed at
the CollinWood school, exist in school
buildings in many of the largest COM
munities. 1t is not at all uncommon
to find the doors Of a public school
building locked during school hours,
and in very few schools are all of the
doors left unlocked. Many teachers
maintain that the locking of doors is
a necessity, demanded by the desire
OF many children to leave the building
without permission. So far as the
Billings school houses are concerned,
they are amply prepared to meet such
an emergency as fire, the students be-
ing versed in the fire drill and the
exits being convenient. But there

BOOST ALL TOGETHER.

There are more than dozen good
live commercial clubs in Montana, all
boosting the resources of the state in
general and their particular communi-
ties in particular. Some Of these or
CARNATIONS are Of recent formation,
the ones in Lewistown and Great Falls
being among the number. Others
have been organized for years and
have succeeded in doing much toward
Inducing settlers to come to Montana.
Each one of these clubs is working In
dependent of the other. The question
arises If It would not be a good thing
to form a state association OF such
clubs or organizations. SO that there
could be concerted action in boosting
the state.
" Such a proposition. has been limited
at in several OF the papers OF the
state, though none have as yet adj
vanced it. But there lis a disposition
4%evidenced among the commercial
clubs Of the state to work in harmony.
The newspapers of each community
have been filled with paragraphs urg.
ing that the different communities
work together in boosting the state.
Montana is just entering a wonderful
era Of prosperity, in which the entire
state will share. There are boundless
resources in every portion. of this
great commonwealth and there will
never be a better time to boost them
than now. This boosting can be done
best by concerted action on the part
of the commercial organizations Of
the state.
