Our Fire Toll.

Fire destroyed hotel fifty years old
yesterday at Fort Wayne, Ind, causing
at least ten deaths and possibly seventeen,
and the serious injury of thirteen other
people. At the san5e time a four-story
brick tenement in New York city was
being swept by flames and six lives were
sacrificed. In each case flimsy construc-
tion and violation of the prime requisites
OF dre-prooing were accountable for the
tragedies.
We are learning some of our lessons
slowly and painfully. We are being shown
constantly that IL is unsafe to house peo-
pie in infiammable buildings. We make
fire laws requiring new constructions to
be sound and fire-resisting. but We do
not prohibit the continuous use of old
fire traps which only await a spark to
precipitate a disaster.
Fort Wayne. Ind, has probably often
commented upon the unsafety of per-
mating the half-century-old hotel to be
used in these days of brick, steel and
eorcrete construction. But no move has
heen made successfully to put ii out oil
commission and TO substitute for il a
structure of reasonable safety. There is
probably such a hotel in every commu.

Mr.. Hearst and His Party.

Mr. Hearst has launched his party and
1t must now be reckoned with Whether
the time is ripe for the venture time alone
can tell. Whether if it fail this year it
will survive to make another trial four
years hence is also for the future to
decide.
Mr. Hearsts speech was not hectic in
character: For him. it was in the key of
restraint. In fact. there seems to be
new Hearst on deck. The later Hearst
has parted with much of the fury and
many of the superlatives of the former
Hearst. He is still aggressive. and still at
war with the established order of things,
but defeat in campaigning has taught him
something. and particularly the value of
clear as opposed to laundering statement
The republicans are not surprised. and
probably not much alarmed, by the ma
neuver Mr.. Hearst has never been in
touch with them in matters of policy. On
the contrary. he has been so far out of
line with respect to their course that
many of their leaders, with the President
at the head. have denounced him as being
part socialist and part anarchist. He
must be deeply disgruntled republican
indeed who is thinking of going over this
year to the independence League.
But the democrats are, and have
reason to be, concerned. Mr.. Hearst has
been one of them. and only four years
ago aspired to lead them in a presidential
campaign. In many things he and Mr.
Bryan are very close together. and Mr..
Bryan has shown a desire to continue the
friendly relations
This move on Mr.. Hearst's part there

Paralysis of Congress.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

The situation in Congress is calculated
to bring a feeling of chagrin to those
who still have a lingering notion that the
House and the sSenate are powerful and
courageous deliberative bodies clothed
with the law-making power, equipped for
their work and capable of doing their
duty The House is in state of paralysis.
The occasion for the palsy is due to the
fact that a number of bills. concerning
labor such as the anti-injunction bill,
the eight-hOur law and the amendments
to the Sherman antitrust law are in the
hands OF committees who fear to deal
with them because the House is too
cowardly to confront it's constitutional
duty and dispose of them, or even discuss
them.

THE BASKET BALL GAME
East Side Wins From T. w. c. BY a
Score of II to 8

A most interesting game~of basket
ball was played last evening between
the Texas Woman's college basket
ball team and a team representing
the East Side school. From the first
shrill call of the whistle to the last
the game was fast and furiously con-
tested. The college team has been
putting in some hard practice since
their game with Villa Maria, and they
showed great improvement in form.
This is the first game OF the season
for THE East Side school team, but
they played like veterans.
The game was a rough one. and
numerous fouls were called on both
sides. The decisions of the officials
were very fair to both sides, and gave
complete satisfaction. That the game
was a CLOSELY contested one is re-
vealed by the final score, s to II, in
favor OF the East Side school.
