charred by the intense heat that it
was impossible for the half crazed

tify them except by pieces of jewelry
worn. Including Fireman Joseph
Toner who was suffocated, six per-
sons are known to have perished.

Provision for American Ambassadors

The American Embassy association
has sent representatives, to the west
to overcome a prejudice which it
thinks is lurking there. 1t is IN that
quarter that the association looks for
opposition to the cause it is support
ing. 1t would have the United States
build or buy and maintain suitable of
fee and residence buildings for its
representatives at foreign capitals.
The subject has been discussed for
several years. The need of some pro
vision of the kind has been explained
so fully and forcibly that it is a ques-
ton whether there is any popular op-
position to the proposal. Probably
congressman are aware Of that, but
when it comes to spending money
they are slow about spending it
abroad. They prefer to spend it with
in the country where it will help a
particular district or its representa-
tive.
The controlling argument for the
housing by the United States OF its
ambassadors and ministers is not that
it will eke out their inadequate sal
aries, but that it will strengthen the
diplomatic service and thereby bene-
fit the country. 1t will widen the
field of choice of foreign representa-
tives. 1t will enable the government
to utilize the ability of men whose pri-
vate means are limited. The present
system imposes a tax on ambassadors
and ministers which, as far as some
countries are concerned, only the
wealthy can afford to pay. 1t is a tax
which is hurtful to the country and
should be got rid of.

OCTOPUS HARD HIT
TOO EARLY, HOWEVER, TO HER
AID ITS DEATH.
Standard Oil Has Yet to Have a Hear
ing in the Supreme Court,
Though Its Chances Seem
Slim.

No decision of the courts since the
famous Lands $30,000,000 fine has
covered anything like the range of the
decision of the United States circuit
court at st. Louis declaring the par
ent oil company is in violation of the
law and ordering the abatement of its
activities. No decision could have
been more sweeping, as It embraces
most of the subsidiary companies
named as defendants, the exceptions
being unimportant. These concerns
are directed not to pay dividends to
the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey, and not again to form any
combination looking to monopoly
of the oil business. The parent con-
cern is likewise enjoined not any
longer to vote the stock of the minor
companies. While the Standard Oil
Company, as such, is not dissolved,
the decision takes away the powers
without which it cannot have con-
tinued existence.
1t would be too early to herald the
death of the octopus, however, as ap-
peal will unquestionably be taken 10
the supreme court, where the claim
of the company that its form of or
ganization is in behest to the laws of
modern society, and that 1t does not
violate the principle of industrial ac-
tivity, will have final hearing. The
public has become accustomed to re-
versals of startling decisions of the

NO CHANCE FOR CONTENTION
Congress Should Deal at Once with
Question of Conservation of
Resources.

The secretary of the interior in his
report asks congress for legislation
which he believes would enable the
government to conserve scientifically
and effectively the natural resources
of the public domain. He would have
authority given his department to
make an intelligent classification of
public lands according to their great
est apparent use and to change the
classification when fuller knowledge
makes it expedient
AS regards coal deposits, which the
secretary says should be preserved as
a public utility, he suggests that the
inducements for much of the crime
and fraud perpetrated in the past
would disappear if the right to mine
were separated from the title to the
soil Whether the deposits should be
utilized through leasing system or
through their sale, in either case with
restrictions designed to protect the
public, is left to congress to deter
mine
Manifestly the legislation recon-
mended by the secretary would enable
him and his successors to protect the
interests of the government and the
people more effectively than is pos
sible now. If congress has due regard
to those interests it will enact that
legislation. 1t would be unable to de-
fend itself against unfriendly crltl-
cism if it were to fail to do so. The
attention of congress will be invited
to many subjects, but that of the con
servation of natural resources is not
contentious one Nobody says those
resources should not be conserved,
Therefore legislation to that end ought
to encounter no obstacles. If there
be any they will take the form of the
underhanded opposition of some pri-
vate interests which seek to despoil
the public domain.

TO ASK FOR MORE PAY
DEMANDS WILL BE PRESENTED
TO EASTERN RAILROADS.
Conductors and Trainmen Vote to
Have Wages Increased and Changes
in Working Rules.

Chicago, Ill.-Conductors and train
men of a great majority of the
railroad lines in the east have voted
to ask for an increase in wages rang
ing from 10 to 80 per cent and
changes in working rules. The vote
has been canvassed by Presi-
dents A. B. Garretson of the Order of
Railroad Conductors and w. G. Lee of
the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men.
The demands will be presented to
the railroad officials early in January.
Nearly 40 railroads will be affected
The campaign of the conductors and
trainmen is for a standard rate of pay
on eastern lines similar to that in
force in the west. The wages paid
eastern conductors and trainmen are
different on nearly every road. The
votes on the various lines was prac-
tically unanimous.
The demands to be presented to the
railroad officials cover Is different di-
visions with many subdivisions. The
first nine cover the rates of pay paid
freight and passenger conductors,
brakemen, baggagemen and fagmen.
The increase will amount to more on
some roads than on others, as the OBJ
ject is to bring all of them up to
certain standard. A ten-hour day will
be demanded after which overtime
shall be paid.

Support Collector Loeb.

A most instructive illustration of
the methods the tariff dodgers employ
is seen in the discreditable war that
has been made on Collector Loeb for
enforcing the customs law on return
ing travellers. and also for his reward
ing of inspectors who helped uncover
the sugar frauds. These spasms of
virtuous Indignation over Mr.. Loebs
lack of Judgment are by-products Of
the immense propaganda maintained
by the importers directly and also in
directly through the free trade news
papers with which they so closely af-
filiate in effort 10 break down the GUS
toms service and the tariff law. II is
for President Taft 10 choose whether
he will be made a tool of by these
agencies of lawlcssness and currup
tion. or rally the best citizenship OF
the country enthusiastically behind
him by supporting Collector Loeb TO
the limit and giving no quarter To the
perpetrators of these customs frauds.
