Senator Foraker has made his
long advertised and spacious plea
in favor OF his bill restoring to
the army all of the soldiers of the
25th infantry dismissed without
honor because of the shooting
atfray at Brownsville. With ex-
ceptlonal engenuity the Ohio SEN
ator quoted every line of the testi-
mony which would support this
contention that the negroes did
not do the shooting and with
equal care he omitted every line
which would have proven the fall
lacy of his contention. With
such garbled evidence he made a
plausible argument against the
finding of the committee
on Military Affairs by which a
vote of II to 2, rejected the Fora
ker theory that the negroes were

FIRE IN MILLERT0N
Damage to the Extent of o,ooo-
 Business Section In Danger

Damage to the Extent of & o,ooo- Business Section In Danger
 The excellent work of the Millerton fire department prevented the wiping out of the center of the business section Monday. The fire had its start ill the bakery of Diehl & Minor, on Main street, three doors from the post office, tho fire spread quickly to all parts of the two-story frame building, then to the building on the east, occupied by A. l.. Krooner, dealer in millinery and small wares, and to the building OH the west, wherein is located the clothing store of Boardman & Straus. The bakery was gutted, all of the contents, includ- ing three casks of lard, each averaging 800 pounds being destroyed and entailing damage estimated at between $S000 and $1o,000. The Krooner establishment suffered damage estimated at $1 ,500, and Boardman & Straus, whose stock was injured mostly by water, place their damage at upwards of $1 900. The losses are fully covered by insurance.
 A baker for Diehl & Minor was just finishing his nights work, about 3:15, when he discovered flames about the bake oven, which, it is supposed, became overloaded. He aroused MT. Minor and his wife, who lived over the bakeshop. He then went back to the shop to get his clothes, but the place was @ mass of flames, and he lost among other articles a watch costing $100.
 MT. and Mrs. Minor left their apart ments scantily clad. the former not even having time to get a coat in which was a roll of $500 in bills. After the flames had nearly died out in that part of the building MT. Minor entered and greatly to his surprise found the money unin- jured in the pocket. The coat itself was almost consumed.

ThEEDIToR'S CRITICS

Every editor of 8 country newspaper comes in contact, sooner or later, with the man or woman who tells him that he always publishes the goings and con- ings of other folks, the names of their guests, the accounts of their social gath erings, etc., and that he singles out cer- tain families or persons to ''print things about to the exclusion of all others.
 Nine times of ten it will be found, If the matter is investigated, that the per son who makes the complaint has had cousin or an aunt or uncle or some other relative or a friend as his or her guest for day, week or "between trains" or that while previous a half dozen or more neighbors were invited in to play a game of dominoes and to munch pan or two of buttered pop corn and it was not mentioned in the columns of the local paper.
 Now why wasn't it metioned? The disgruntled one will say it was because the editor was inclined to show parti- ality, that he considered these people were not worth noticing in the paper or for . dozen and one other reasons. Stuff and nonsensel There isn't country editor in the land who purposely ignores these things. The reason he don't pub fish them is because he don't know about them. AS rule an editor is neither a clairvoyant, second sight.artist nor mind reader. If he was. he would drop the quill, go on the road, and with rag tied over his eyes and an old sheet seat on the stages of the town halls, be- fore "large and enthusiastic audiences" and, while under the influence of the ''spells" tell Mamie Smith or Susie Jones that away down in the southwest corner of the inside pocket of her Eton jacket she had just placed piece of paper on which she had written: "Who swiped my ring?" In almost supernatural tones year ago next June by red-headed man with wart on his nose and that he swapped it (the ring not the wart) for a brindle bull pup or Shanghai rooster and that the sign wasn't right for her to ever stick her finger into the ring again.
 Neither IS the ordinary country editor twins. If he was, he could be in two places at once and thereby reduce the complaints one-half but he couldn't wipe them all out were he quadruplets.
 You may not believe it but there are people who will do thelr best to conceal a good news item and then find fault with the pencil pusher when they fail to see it in tho paper. It's strange. but nevertheless it's true.
 Now if you happen to be one of these people who has accused the editor of this paper, or any other, of partiality, of favoritism, of undue bias of mind, etc, etc., don't do it again. When you know of news item, tell him about it, tele- phone it to hlm, send it on postal ''.'card or in a letter (but in the two latter in stances sign your name or he will drop the communication into the waste basket) or get the information to him in any other way you see fit. He will print it as readily for you as for any one else.
 You misjudge him when you accuse him of playing favorites."

The terrible holocaust near Cleveland,
 Ohio, last week in which 160 school children lost their lives, was read with feelings of horror by people i'll all parts of the Union. It proved the very great ne cessity of several exits from public buildings; in fact every building more than two stories used for public, con- mercial or residential purposes should be amply provided with exits, fire escapes, etc. This is one of the things to be taken into consideration in the en- largement of the school house in Canaan.
