CONTROL SODA FOUNTAINS.

State Dairy and Food Commissioner
Dame is putting his finger on a spot
that will bear attention when he sug-
gests a law giving his department con-
troll over soda fountains, from the
standpoint OF sanitation. There is no
doubt that while in very many cases
there is little room for Improvement
in others a little supervision would
have a strong influence for better
ment.
A soda fountain is one place where
every attention should be given to
sanitation. 1t should be well fitted to
TT into a "spotless town" at any mo-
ment. The greatest care should be ex-
ercised not only in the selection of the
ingredients OF the various delectabie
connections that are dispensed but al
so in caring for the glasses, spoons
dishes. etc. Glasses should be washet
and thoroughly cleansed. IL Is no
enough that any quantity of then
should be dipped into the same tub o
water. They should be really wasne'
and purified. This Is now done .

failure of Republican officials To
adhere TO prediction pledges.
That is the trouble with the Re-

without attempting TO pass on the

conceded that Gov. Osborn's general

redemption Of them is wholesome and
worthy Of commentator from every

attention Of many serious minded
men, in and out Of Office. The gov
errors of several Of the states. Of diff

gagged in reminding the dominant par
ties in their several commonwealth,
that failure to redeem a campaign
promise wrecked a great national par

must be ADMITTED it is likely TO be
more practical TO take. The wider
moral view is that a promise is a
promise, and there can be no differ

state relative to the difficulty Cover

STATE FIRE MARSHAL.

A bill has been introduced by Sen
ator James, along the lines advocated
by Governor Osborn, creating the office
of state fire marshal, the duty of which
official shall be to investigate all fires
where the circumstances surrounding
the origin of the same are at all pecu-
liar, or where there is well-founded
suspicion that a flrebug has been at
work He is further empowered to
gather evidence and to conduct prose-
cutions, If it is found necessary to
make arrests.
Ohio is one Of the nearby common
wealths which has a state fire mar
shall. 1t is the duty of this official and
his aides to conduct searching inves-
legations in cases where fires are of
suspicious origin, and to clear up any
doubt, If doubt there be, as to the
cause Of any fire under investigation.
The warden is authorized to take tes-
timony and make complaint and is
not forced in any instance to divulge
any of the testimony given him, un-
less it be where criminal prosecution
takes place, so individuals may give
testimony without having it known
that they are in any way connected
with the investigation, thus materially
aiding the fire warden in his work. In
the event of court proceedings. how
ever, they are liable to subpoena as
witnesses, the same as in any other
criminal case.
A number Of states besides Michi-
gan will have bills before their legis-
latures this winter creating state fire
marshal departments. Every state,
which has such a department and has
made it an effective organization in
stead of a reward for political service,
has secured remarkable results. Mass
achusetts in the east and Ohio in the
west are examples Of the saving Sc
cured by the public by the serv-
ice. The number OF fires has been
greatly reduced, both through the fear
Of firebugs to ply their trade because
of the activity of the fire marshals and
also through the better construction
and protection which has been secured
through the inspections made, the re-
moval of dangerous hazards and the
better building laws encouraged. This
has not only been shown in the mater
ial reduction of insurance. rates, but
in the greater protection of life and
property.
When citizens come to realize that
their insurance rates are penalized
for the crooked losses, and that they
and not the insurance companies are
paying for the work of the firebugs
they become willing assistants of the
fire marshal's department.

can't make printers and binders in a
minute. II is a trade which can be
acquired only after years Of exper-
fence, from the ground up. The state
would be dropping a nice little pile OF
money while it was instructing the
number OF prisoners required 10 do
such work. 1t would lose the fruits OF
the labor Of these men, and printers
and binders would have to be en-
ployed to teach them. A long time
would elapse before the convicts be-
came expert in the art Of printing and
binding. and some Of them never could
learn. Their output would be both
crude and costly.
