Citizens Protection.

Citizens have been careless in consii-
eTing the insidiOus moves made by the
Labor Trust seeking control over affairs.
II is time that each free man questioned
carefully into the intent and purpose Of
each candidate for public office, without
regard to his politics.
It's a question OF protection against
trust growth now. II a candidate open
ly or hiddenly stands for Labor Union
domination, hoping thereby to be elected
by the Labor Trust members together
with the votes the citizens who don't
realize the danger. vote for him II you
think best TO put your affairs and IIb-
erty in the hands Of the leaders or this
great trust. But IL viii be a black dav
for Americans when any trust gains
power enough to enact their own laws
and to dictate when a freeman shall
work, when quit AMI how much he shall
pay to support the managers. Also what
articles shall be bought. What cars

the dead.
The foundation Of our free Republic
is based on the principle that EVERY
man must be equal before the law and
every man protected under the law

MANY ROOF FIRES
BUT DAMAGE DONE WAS VERY
 SMALL.
Captain Grfmths Gives Out the Fire statistIcs fer the Months
 of Maw and

Fire reports for the months of May and June were issued yesterday by Captain Grifith and a study of them reveals several interesting racfs. 4 feature of the reports is the number of so-called trivial fires, or roof nress shown, in which the loss incurred IS practically nothing. It snoulo oe blazes that the wonderful advantage of d good department can be reaiized. for if is through the prompt arrfvai ana cfacfent work of the companies that such biazes are insignificant
 The principal fire during the month of May was the burning of the brew erv. in which case. th.s loss was $6,- 177's The total loss from fires throughout the month was $s,26o.91, of which the brewery constituted 75 per cent Considerable trouble was expe- rienced In the adjustment of the dam age claim, it being shortly after the fire thought that the loss would pc much greater than subsequent careful Investigation proved.
 The only notable fire during the month of June was that which occurred in the new Bell building, still in course of construction. A small store house within the building caught afire from defective wiring. and while easily ex- tinguished might have led to der etructve cDnnakfalfoH. III HdhiH6 up the estimate of the value of the build ings endangered by fire during the month, the cost of the Bell building had to be included and hence the hg- ures for this item of the report are unusually large, and are not really in- dicative of the actual conditions.
 Following is the summarized report for May:
 The number of alarms received was twenty, of which eighteen were by tel- ephone and two by box. Of the build ir1gs threatened by flames there were two three-story brick. one one-story brick, four two-story frame. and ten one-story frame structures. Two of the alarms were beyond the city linn its, and one of them was false.
 The value of the buildings at risk was sf41, 500. The value of the con- tents of those buildings was $12,200. The loss incurred on the buildings was 3S, S,135.97, the insurance was $94.0l0 and the insurance paid was sS.035.s7. The loss on the contents of the buildings was sI25, the insurance $I500, and the insurance paid s100. The loss over in- surance paid on both buildings and contents was $225.
 The report for June follows:
 The total number of alarms was twenty-five. of which twenty-four were bv telephone. Of the buildings threat ened by fire, one was e twelve story brick (the Bell building), one was a three-story brick. four were two story brick, three were two-story frame twelve were one-story frame structures. There were two calls to burning dump haps. and there was one false alarm
