MAINTAINING BATTLE
AGAINST FOREST FIRES
Menace in Montana Situation Is
Greatly LeSSened by a
Big Rainfall

MISSOULA, Mont, July 16.-The
forest fire situation this morning is
better, according to the statements of
forestry officials of District No. l. The
fire, which has ragged at Quartz for
over two weeks, is practically out, and
the general situation all over the
forests is greatly improved. Heavy
rains have fallen in the Bitter Root
district, and all the fires on that forest
reserve have been extinguished.
Two large fires are reported in the
Glacier National park, threatening to
communicate to the Blackfoot and
Flathead forests. Although no appro-
priation has been made by the govern
ment for fire fighting service on the
new park reserves, the local forestry
officials have despatched an army of
fighters with necessary equipment to
extinguish the blaze and prevent de-
struction of the adjacent forests.
The railroads passing through Gla-
cier park have 200 men fighting the
fires.
The korst local fire is reported on
the Big Blackfoot land, near Clinton.
There the lumber company has about
500 men at work in an attempt to sub
due the flames. The mill company has
closed it's mills at st. Begis and 10th
rop, and all hands have been detailed
to fight fires.

MARTYR TO PRINCIPLES is
BAILED OUT BY FRIENDS
Socialist Who Refused to Pay a
Poll Tax Freed

GRAFTON, ILL.,, July 16.-The mar
tyrdom of John T. Keon, Socialist, of
this city ended when last night after
serving three months IL jail his friends
S63 Keon was sentenced TO prison on
April Is to serve six months for failure
to pay his annual poll tax of $1.50. The
martyrdom of Keon against the Illi-
nois tax has attracted national atten-
ton. He declared he would pass the
remainder of his life in Jail rather than
submit to paying for the privilege of
carrying a poll tax receipt around with
him. Had his friends not come to his
rescue he was in a fair way of pass
ing at least seven years continuously in
the Grafton Jail, for Keon was two
years in arrears with his poll tax.

GIVEN CHOICE OF
A|RSHIP OR WIFE
Mrs. Clifford Harmon Declares
Husband Must Cease His
Flights or Lose Her
Especial to The Herald

NEW YORK, July 16.-Clifford B.
Harmon. balloonist, airship pilot and
millionaire, must either give up his
aerial pastimes or his wife. That is
the ultimatum laid down by Mrs Har-
mon, who says she has tired of waiting
at home for the news that they are
gathering up what remains of Clifford
after a long drop through the ethereal
blue.
According to Mrs. Harmon, her hus-
band promised to abandon his balloons
and al. :hips after he and George Har-
rison of Los Angeles failed to land the
Lahm trophy in a flight from San
Antonio, Texas, some months ago. But
instead of keeping his promise Har-
mon, so says the lady of the
house, went right ahead and pur-
chased another balloon ant, what Is
considered more dangerous still, three
French bi and monoplanes. This
drove Mrs. Harmon to protest,
and now she declares either the air.
ships or the wife must be abandoned
Harmon is classed as one of the
wealthiest realty brokers In New York
and for some time has been devoted to
aerial pursuits. Whether his fascina-
tion ill overcome his regard for Mrs.
Harmon remains to be seen. Friends
say the airships will lose.

cused of some militancy, we did not go
to the English extreme. True, we used

sides speak, but did only what was
necessary and did that in a conserva-

NEW YORK To ST. LOUIS
FLIGHT PRIZE $4,000
Aviator Must Cover Distance in
100 Hours to Win
the Purse

NEW YORK, July 16.-The official
aeroplane flight between New York and
st. Louis were made public here today.
They follow:
Thirty thousand dollars will be
given to the first aviator who between
flies from New York to st. Louis or
from ST. Louis to New York within 100
consecutive hours, using the same aero
plane from start to finish.
1.-THE only condition attached to this
offer is that at least three days notice
of the intention to start for this prize
must be given either in New York or
in st. Louis in order that announce
ment may be made of the actual start
ing and finishing points, the actual
route and other details as agreed
upon"
DISTANCE 900 MILES
The distance between the two cities
is 900 miles as the crow flies, and 1048
miles as the mails go. The average
fast train time Is twenty-nine hours
and the average train speed thirty-six
miles an hour The best average speed
for sustained flight in an aeroplane is
"a As miles an hour. On account of
the configuration of the land it is un-
likely that any aviator will attempt
to lay out his route in a straight line
The actual distance he will fly, there
fore, remains guess work and will only
be determined by his performance
itself.
LIBERAL CONDITIONS
The conditions above leave the avia-
tor free to choose his own starting
point and to make his landings for
fuel. repairs and rest whenever he
wishes, or as necessity dictates.
Given 100 hours in which to cover an
estimated 1000 miles, the aviator would
have to fly only little more than 200
miles a day for little less than FIVE
days. If he equaled the speed of Cur
tiss between New York and Albany
this would mean two hours in the
morning and two hours IN the after
noon with as long an intermission as
desired for resting and tuning up the
engine

WE OWE BILLIONS.

The statement comes from what is
believed to be an authoritative source
that during the past fourteen years
the American people have created
abroad a net trade and money credit
of S6,5OO,0OO,O0O. Yet notwithstand-
ing this huge sum, what was sold
over what was bought abroad, our
net foreign debt has grown by ST.
10000 O0O From $4,000, 000,0 600
in 1905 it had become $6,120, 000,-
600 last year
That makes a staggering PROPOSE
ton, one which at once rises into
national and assumes international
Importance it offers a problem of
utmost gravity. The situation, as
thus revealed in bald figures, is well
calculated to give us pause. In eff
feet it means not only that the Unit
ed States is today the worlds great
est debtor nation, but also that this
people is running deeper into debt
to other peoples.
The American people, as nation,
are plainly living beyond their
means. And this they have been
doing steadily for so years, each year
sinking further into debt to the
world Not pleasant picture is this,
but it is the one which truly de-
picts the real situation. For the last
fiscal year the score ran against us
heavily, and we were compelled to
add over $175, 100000 to our for
eign Indebtedness.
Obviously such condition of af'
fairs cannot go on indefinitely. A
people no more than an individual
can get credit beyond a certain point

THE DEAD CHIEF JUSTICE.

Full of years and with record of
honorable usefulness Melville W. Full
Ter, for twenty-five years chief jus
tice of the Supreme Court of the
United States, is dead. He was a
democrat, and was appointed by
Grover Cleveland. 1t may be feared
that it will be sometime before an
other democrat holds the high place
1t does not much matter, though, as
to the politics of the judges of that
great court. Men of learning, men
of integrity and patriotic Americans
they have ever been, and rarely has
there been even suspicion of partisan
ship in their decisions.
Justice Fuller was a great lawyer
and an upright judge. His career on
the supreme bench was marked by
learning, dignity and integrity in
consonanse with the best traditions
of the high tribunal He was one
of the men who have added to the
lustre of American jurisprudence,
and made the supreme court the
sheet anchor of society in this coun-
try.

DON'T PUT YOUR MONEY ON IT.

We note that the campaign man
ayers up in Atlanta have a great way
of giving to the newspapers state
ments from Colonel So-and-So, a
leading" citizen of Squedunk, and
Major This-and-That, an 'infuen-
tial' resident of Hogwallow, how the
voters of their sections have Topped
from one side or the other, and will
everlastingly mop the earth up with
the other candidate. We suppose
that partisans are thereby encour-
aged, and besides it helps to kill the
monotony of hot summer days. But
these spasms of enthusiastic parti-
sans don't prove anything in a polit-
ical way. In fact, they are a snare
and delusion as a means to indicating
public sentiment. They certainly
won't do as a basis for bets.
