Fire Drill. Necesxary.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
The publicity given by the Evening
STAR toward the establishment Of
fire drills in factories is going to re-
suit in every manufacturer installing
this ~life-saving system in his plant.
When this reward for your work has
peer achieved another immortal monu-
ment testifying the extent of public
good accomplished by the STAR will

Without "harping" on a calamity al
ready too well known. suffice it to say
that recent experiences in Newark fully
demonstrates that the negligence in
having fire drills should be criminal.

"why Keep Negroes Out of Unions'
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
All fail minded friends Of organized
labor must deplore the step by
their associates in refusing to ADMIT
colored people to the unions. Right
there. in the writer's estimation, the
union men forget the spirit OF our
American independence. The union
men by using this discrimination place
a good mechanic or tradesman out Of
the bounds protected by organized
labor simply because the color Of his
skin is dark. It's the old, old story Of
Judging a book by It's cover
The colored people during the past
twenty years have made wonderful
strides in reaching the intellectual
height attained by white men. The
American slogan, THE Home OF the
Free" Is largely responsible for this
advancement. Now, when the negro
proposes to add his strength to the
unions, and at the same time fortify
himself, he is halted. 1t Is not the
government which commits this in
fringement of the Declaration Of indie
~pendence, but the body Of men VINO
fight the hardest to uphold the policy
of Washington and other heroes.
While the colored race Is trying to
Danish the maze of mobilization that
still partly clogs It's brain let US help
them all we can, instead of placing
obstacles in the way. The negro
/ mechanic has as much right to join a
labor union as the men whose skin Is
similar In color to the negroes heart.
If he has not this right he should get
1t speedily. Let us retain the spirit OF
America in all our dealings. The col
ored man after his admission to the
unions will show soon whether or not
he merits the consideration. Give them
a chance. FAIR PLAY.

FOURTEEN TRUST PROSECUTIONS.

TIA OURTEEN trusts and other illegal combinations are now
under prosecution by the Federal government, and the two
cases now under review by the United States Supreme
Court. those of the tobacco and STANDARD Oil trusts, are test cases
for all the rest. If the court shall decide n favor of the govern
ment the decision will make established law for the land in regard
to trust combinations, and there will follow a radical reorganiza-
fion Of all such enterprises, if the ingenious attorneys for the trusts
do not discover new technical points on which to fight the govern
ment. What will be the effect of a decision adverse to the govern
ment need not be conjectured at this time.

THE CRIME IN OCEAN COUNTY.

n N the deliberate judgment of Governor Fort, "the evidence of
fraud is so apparent that it would be tantamount to an official
crime to permit the guilty parties to escape Governor Fort
voices the sentiment of the whole State. The fraud in Ocean county
is a crime against the State and a crime against the people of the
State. 1t has assumed an Importance greater than any previous
case of election fraud in New Jersey. A crime so audacious, com
mitted in the course of a judicial investigation of the vote in Ocean
county, was an act of violence against the court itself, as well as
a criminal outrage upon the ballot. Every political crime has its
defenders, but no influences should be permitted in this case to
stand between the crime and the criminal and the laws punish
ment.

HUNDREDS FIGHTING
FIERCE FOREST FIRES

al forest reserve, seven big fires
are playing havoc with some of
the finest pine in the state.
Big Creek, Idaho, is the scene of
the worst fire. Another almost as
extensive is burning at Nelson Sid
ing on the Occur d'Alene river Dud-
ley and Pine Creek districts like
wise are fighting fires. North of
Harrison on Carlin bay a valuable
tract of timber was destroyed. This
fire is one of the few under control.
At Spirit Lake, Idaho, four square
miles of brush and timber are re-
ported to have been burned. An
other destructive blaze is giving
trouble at Loon Lake and in the
Colville valley.
In Montana three distinct fires
are playing havoc with timber on
the Flathead Indian reservation.
| The government has empowered
| the agent to spend sufficient sum
of money to prevent spread of the
| flames.
Fires are also doing much dam
age near Libby, Mont. ST. Regis
and Whitefish. Mont. The blaze at
St. Regis already has cleared path
a mile and a quarter wide. The
timber in that district is dry on
account of extended drouth and is
proving excellent finder to keep the
blaze going furiously.
Three hundred men are attempt
ing to hold the forest fire in the
Kootenai national reserve in check
The flames continue to spread
however, and a call for additional
help has been made.
| According to report reaching
here today, four new fires sprung
up in the Western Park in Montana
during the night.

The difference is simply this
The motorcycles are owned mostly
by the large commercial concerns
in the heart of the city, while the
bicycle riders who CHANGED to get
on the pavement in front of the
Schade brewery are workingmen,
without a pull at the police depart
ment or in the city hall. In the en-
forcement of the law these condi-
tions carry much weight with the
present city and police administra'
tons.
After last nights conference
Chief Sullivan agreed to look up
the old ordinance creating the BIZ
cycle paths and the bicycle com
mission. He evidently had over
looked the existence of such an or.
dinance in the city code
There are $500 wheel riders in
the city an donly 800 motorcyclists
1t is estimated that 80 per cent
of the wheel riders are working
men.
