ILaissex Faire.

"Laissez faire" is a term met
with frequently in books on polit-
ical economy. 1t is not often used
in conversation or in political
speeches. 1t is a term that means
to let alone, and among economists
it implies that policy which does
not disturb the cyisting order OF
things, but permits It to develop in
its own way, trusting that society
will in its own way and in its own
time find a proper adjustment and
balance for all its troubles.-Wall

Deputy Chief Kruger Of the New York City Fire Department Dies
as He Lived Leading His Boys" In the Peril
GUS Path Of Duty.

Charles w. Kruger, deputy chief Of
the New York city fire department.
was drowned on Feb. IA in subcellar
into which he had fallen through an
open trap while leading company of
his men to point Of vantage for fight
ing bad fire.
No surer death hole could have been
contrived than the pit in which the
heroic old fire leader lost his life in
spite of the struggles Of his men to
save him. There was six feet of wa
ter in the subceilar, and above that
was the main cellar filed with deadly
fumes from many broken and melted
gas pipes. No doubt the deputy chief
had been weakened by these fumes,
for his struggle in the water was short.
The last cry that came up from the
pitch dark hole was "Save me, Andy"
Andy was Andrew Hergenrother, the
deputy's driver, who not only took his
chief to every blaze for many years,
but followed him like a shadow in and
out Of danger. He followed him half
way into the water hole and would
have gone oil the way had he not
found that he could render better serv-

and with a fireman's intuition he knew
what had happened. But already one
foot was over the pitfa!l, and he could
not save himself altogether from 60

however, and checked himself as he
hung up to his thighs IN the water,
managing to hold on in spite of the
fact that the first Of the following
men stumbled heavily against bis
shoulders.

err as he drew In one arm from the
swaying floor preparatory to letting
himself down. But he quickly threw

his hold, for at that instant he felt the
arms of the chief clasped about his
leg.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-That Speaker
Cannon implied he would oppose ap-
for public works, jnclud-
ing the Panama canal, and deep water
way movement, is the Interpretation
here of his speech delivered before the
bankers club Saturday Among water
way enthusiasts this attitude aroused
Indignation and more determined
fight to get the necessary appropria-
ton through congress for pushing the
project will be made. Cannon said,
mo one has yet proved that fourteen
feet of water will be maintained below
ST Louis. Wouldn't it be better to
leave the matter to future genera
ton who will walk in the light of
greater experience, than to go ahead
and make a mistake now. Among
admirers of the Roosevelt admins
tration. the policy of conservatism un-
dertaken, has aroused sharp criticism
of other things in Cannon's speech.
The probable outcome of the speech
will be great opposition to Cannon's
reelection as speaker.
