National Bonfire Bill.

From Everybodys Magazine.
In ten years we have had a million fires
in this country-an average Of 100000 a
year.
Our fires cost us $500. 100000 a year
Berlin and Chicago are about of a size
Berlin pays its fire department S312 GOO a
year, and sees $4,000 go up in smoke.
Chicago's departmental bill is S3,OS7, JO5;
it's bill for fire loss runs to $1,000, 600 an
nually.
Yearly We pay into the fire insurance
companies some $195, 100000. Except in
a catastrophe year. like 1906, where
eonvulsion Of nature upsets all caIcula-
tions. we receive back about $4,000, OOU,
leaving a comfortable little margin OF
500, OOO,O 600 as profit and the cost of doing
business.
Fire rates in the United States are
twelve times heavier than in Great Brit
ain and twenty times heavier than in
Italy. On the average we pay too much
for insurance, even on the basis of our
highly inf1ammable communities.
There are some 100000 buildings in
this country, valued at $4,000, 600, 600.
About 5000 of these are fireproof, if that
elastic term be charitably stretched to
cover multitude of sins. The other

The Citizens Duty.
From EverybOdy's Magazine.

From EverybOdys Magazine.
Every decent citizen will support every
measure by which the wages of mill
workers can be advanced. He will sup
port legislation which will equalize fac
tory conditions and store conditions. He
will support legislation which will regu-
late hours of work and will abolish every
where the abominable iniquity of Christ
mas overtime. He will demand the en-
forcement of the laws now generally dis
regardeD providing that woman employees
shall have seats and shall be allowed to
use them. Above all. he will support. by
word and deed. the growth of that spirit
of independence on the part of women
which may some day render them less
casual in their view of their work, more
assertive in their demands for better
treatment, less social, more economic.
He will do these things not because he
thinks they will accomplish very much
toward solving the man-and-woman ques-
tion which began in the book of Genesis
but for the same simple reason that he
believes in economic improvement for
himself and his friends-because 1t brings
with it better food, better health, better
clothes, more books. more music more
discernment. broader experience, a
more expanded appreciation. stronger
breed of people.

out Europe, though the wild cat still
abounded everywhere. And experts
have not been able to satisfy them
selves that the domestic cat and the
wild one are really the same.

FEWER WHITE HOUSE CALLERS
ONE RESULT OF THE FRICTION
WITH CONGRESS
President Takes Good-Naturedly the
Action Of National Legislators
in Ignoring Him

The friction between the White House
and Congress is reducing the number OF
congressional callers at the White House.
but the President is taking 1t good
naturally. Today he was visited by Rep
resentative Smith of Michigan. who intro
duced some constituents. The President
jokingly told Mr.. Smith and his callers
that he was glad there were still con-
gressmen willing to introduce their friends
to him.
Senators, Lodge. Overinan, Carter and
Fulton saw the President before the cab
met meeting, the last named introducing
some friends. Senator Fulton announces
his intention to continue his efforts to
amend the railroad rate law along the
lines of his bill. recently rejected by the
Senate committee on commerce. The bill
provided that when complaints we're en-
tered against an increased rate 1t should
serve at once to suspend the rate.
Senator Fulton said today he was in
clined to believe that this was 4 little
too drastic. and he will present another
bill which will provide that when an
increased rate has been announced II may
be suspended by the interstate commerce
commission before going into effect, If
complaints from shippers justify such
action.
Presidents Versatility.
James Bryce, the British ambassador,
spent some time with the President this
morning before the cabinet met. When
asked whether there was anything in
the way Of news In his visit he said:
MY visit has been personal. Your Presi-
dent is interested in many things out
side of politics. In fact. you have never
had a President interested in SO many
things at one time"
Robert Watchorn's Case.
President Roosevelt did not complete az
the cabinet meeting today the investiga-
ton of charges against Robert Watchorn.
commissioner of immigration at Ellis
Island. whose nomination he withdrew
from the Senate a few days ago. The
charges grew out Of the letting Of the
contract for supplying food to the imi-
grants and Secretary Straus feels that
there is little in the complaints worth at
tention. II took more time in going into
this contract than / have ever taken on
any other question:" said the Secretary
today. Defeated bidders for the con-
tract seem to be sore" The President
has promised the compliments to hear
their attorney and the New York lawyer
representing them is expected here in a
day or SO.
Daniel Keefe, commissioner general of
immigration, conferred with President
Roosevelt, presumably as to the charges
against Robert Watchorn.
