The TOLL oE DISEASE.

Speaking in behalf cf his bill for a
national department of health, SEN
ator Owen lately declared that 500,
100 lives are needlezsly sacrificed
each year in this country. This is
mere than the total life cost of the
Civil war. And yet, huge as is the
estimate, we haven't a doubt the
senator understated his case says the
Denver News. Every death from a
contagious disease is in one sense
unnecessary. The germs causing
most contagious diseases are known.
The diseases which remain mysteries
as to direct cause are seldom or never
mysterious in the means of trans
mission. If EVERY CONTAGIOUS
OR INFECTIOUS DISEASE COULD
BE QUARANTINED AS SOON AS
DISCOVERED, we should soon see
an end to most infections.
Even without such radical measures

NO ROOSEVELT PENSION

The senate committee on pensions
very properly refused to report a
provision establishing pension of
100000 annually for ex-presidents.
There is only one man to whom it
wculG apply, ex-Tre sident Roosevelt.
and he is in no need of 1t, even
though he is by no maens a wealthy
man.
1t did, however. endorse the prop
osition to establish pensions of S5,-
900 fer the widow of the late ex-
President Harrison and the widow
Of the late ex-President Cleveland
Even these are of doubtful necessity
The plea on which that for Roose-
welt was urged was that he is re-
tired commander-in-chief CT the
army and navy, a pica which is in
defensible. These efforts to extend
spccia' favcrs to Col Roosevelt are
to be deplored.
Once mere the idea of economy in
the part of some members of con-
gress is shown. To make an appro-
priation fer a pension for ex-presi-
dents at this time. when economy is
deing advocated in regard to the
conduct of governmental affairs
wculd be very unwise.
Ii there is any general approval
Of such a plan, it is not apparent.
and it is to be hoped that no added
effcrt will be made to carry it out.
Certainly. it is most inopportun
time to try to do so.

STILL AT 1T.

In spite of the fact that The Chron-
icle presented convincing proof last
week of the absurdity and falsity of
the claims of the boosters of the
Peoples party that the candidates
on the Citizens ticket intended to
bond the town for an exhorbitant
amount. thereby hanging a ruinous
burden upon the property owners.
and that their statements that the
Trans Mississippi Investment COM
pany had gone back on their orig
inal offer to donate the park-site to
the town, were shown up to be fab
relations of the worst sort. these
Peoples party boosters-adherents of
Il lost cause-are continuing the same
statements whenever they catch a
person whom they imagine to be
ignorant enough to believe such tom
myrot AS we said before, the can
iidates on the Citizens ticket when
eletced cannot bond the town even
if they wanted to. That rests en-
tirely with the property owners of the
town and neither party has the right

AND THE FARMER
KEEPS ON FLOWING.

Recently, having run the gamut in
their effort to strike note that
would be responsive to the popular
demand for a responsible party in the
high-cost -of-living controversy, those
who are engaged in theorizing on
the subject. aided and abetted by
others who are desirous of diverting
public attention from themselves,
have been striving to fix the blame
upon the farmer The farmer, so
they say, is getting the best of it;
the farmer has the first chance, the
farmer has the goods. and he makes
the price that is the basis of all the
other prices between the original pro-
ducer and the ultimate consumer.
Through it al the farmer has main

garding the high cost of living. and
his possible or probable relation to
it, has caused him to remove his
hands from the plow, save to respond
to the welcome MONDAY horn. be-
tween the si'very sunrize and golden
sunset
This is as 1t should be. 1t is well
for all of us that the farmer is too
busy to talk back. 1t is well for all
of Us that he keeps on plowing, re-
gardless of what the wor d may say
as to his getting the best of every
thing. There were days. and weeks,
and years. alas. in which he got
the worst of everything, and if things
have changed for the better. and he
is now prospering, let us console
ourselves with the thought that we

merchants and the public:
We desire to call attention to the
danger to life and property from
the Ore hazards of holiday displays
and decorations in public buildings,
!churches and especially in mercantile
establishments.
The common use OF tissue paper,
cotton, cheese-cloth, festoontngs.
harvest specimens and other inflam-
mable materials is considered ex-
tremely dangerous, especially when
used in connection with electric
, lighting enects and other common
lights, It being practically imposst-
BILE to make displays OF this nature
without a decided increase in the
fire hazards.
All extensions, temporary work or
additions to electric lighting or
power service, such as extra lights
miniature lamps and small power
arrangements for automatic displays
or any other alterations OF electric
installation should be installed only
by competent electricians and this
Office should he duly notified of any
such alterations, in order that proper
inspections can be made. Do not
attach display material OF any kind
to electric wires; allow no paper or
combus tfble shades to be attached. to
globes, and in show windows partic-
| uIarly, keep material Of all sorts
free from wire and globes.
Aa1.A ~

other innammable stufEs In base
ment, packing and shipping rooms.
under counters and in pits OF eleva-
tor shafts. Where false fronts cell
ings, elevations and partitions are
used in windows, the space Echtnd
same should be perfectly clear and
free from waste materials, and same
should be so arranged as to allow
proper accessibility. Do not store
stock or material on stair ways,
landings or steps. See that fire
doors and shutters are in operative
order, and If not automatic, detail
an employe to close them before
leaving premises each night. After
closing for the day an employe
should be detailed to go over the en-
tire building, and report Conditions
to the managemeat, and Pight-watch
man should BE Instructed to make a
similar report.
Note manner and location OF IRE
