FIRE PREVENTION DAY.


II is good to see that lively interest
is being taken in the observance of Fire
Prevention Day, named by the Governor
for today. The idea of the day Is to
put everything in order, and see that,
so far as forcthought and preparation
are concerned. there shall be no undue
risks from accidental fires
The suggestion of the Fire Day is
being quite generally complied with
throughout the country; and the ann
versary OF the great Chicago fire of
1871 is commonly taken as the appro'
pirate date for the observance. That
fire began on October Sth forty wears
ago, and ragged for three DAYS. driving
100000 people to the sheltcrlcss prairle,
and destroying property to the value
of sI9O. 900 900. It. was the greatest
Arc that had been known up 10 that
time in this country: and the date rs
most appropriate in commemorative
way.
But il is even more appropriate IN
practical way, since this is the time
of the year when people begin to bnild
fires in their furnaces and stoves, ana
when special care ought 10 be taken
and generally is taken. TO see that
everything is in good condition for the
beginning of the warming up for the
cool season that now begins, and that
will continue through the winter.
The fire losses in tho United states
that FOR the most part could he prevent
ed amount to the enormous average OF
considerably more than S200.000,000 a
year. That is an appalling loss to stand
through mere iuattention or careless
ness. The investigation of this subject
has fully proved that almost all of the
loss originates in some carclessness,
some needless or reckless act which
ought to have been prevented, and
which is sheer waste and imposition
upon the public through the great loss
cs which it causes.
In Salt Lake City we have been very
fortunate in escaping sweeping or wide
" destructive fires. This is partly by
reason of tho good building construc-
tion, partly by reason of the VIDE
streets, and partly by reason of the
care that the people here usually cXcr-
else to save waste by fire. This eau
tion is commendabc in the highest de-
gree; but something further is needed,
and that thing is provided by the re-
mindcr of Fire Prevention Day. which
everybody ought to observe in the way
that is appropriate, and that the sug-
gestion hoped 10. bring about, through a
thorough inspection and the clearing
away of all exposures to accidental
fires. This should be done without fail.
1t is not only prccaution that is due
from and to the immediate householder
or tenant, but il is due TO the whole
community, and due to the State which
calls through its constituted authorities
on all the people TO act. The day
should be thoroughly observed; and no
one should at any time in the fall build
fires in furnaces and stoves that have
been unused for months without tax
ing every possible precaution to see that
everything is in order, and there is no
danger in starting the fire
Fire Prevention Day ought 10 he
carefully and thoroughly observed IN
every part Of the United States. and it
is our special duty to observe 1t we'll
and thoroughly in Utah.

TIE DIsREPUTABLE BUNCH.

The disrcputablc tactics Of the Fed
eral bunch in politics this year arc con
spicuouslv in evidence. That maIodor
Gus gang passed an abortive, vicious
and partisan commission bill, and
forced il upon the people of this city
and upon other cities in Utah, Tho
pretensc was, that this was a non
partisan measure; and the plea was
made by the Federal bunch here that
the right thing to do was to have a
nonpartisau or a business men s ticket
for commissioners at the ensuing mum
cipal election
Presently il was found, however
that what the Federal bunch really
wanted and insisted upon was not a
nonpartisan ticket AT all. but "A partisan
Republican ticket put up and supported
under pretcnse Of partisauship, and
also as a business men S ticket The
business men were called upon TO sup
port the nonpartisan idea, and a mum.
Der Of business men in good faith did
so. They met, appointed committees
and finally proposed ticket. But
that ticket did not give the Federal
bunch gang all the candidates: it did
not even give majority Of the can.
didates to that bunch. And so the an
nounccmcnt Of the business men S
ticket was the signal for the Federal
bunch to fly the track and call a par
tisan convention Of its own, inviting
at the same time everybody to come
in and help nominate and elect par
tisan Republican ticket.
The dishonesty and trickery Of all
this is abundantly evident. There is
nothing whatever TO say in favor of
such miserable tactics. The people of
this city have been treated by the
Federal bunch this year to an exhibi-
tion Of trickcrv. duplicity, and dis.
honesty in politics Unprecedented in
It's knavcry. vet entirely worthy Of

interesting to those who think OF making
money with bees
Sergeant Cooks exhibit includes honey
in the comb and strained, honey wine,
honey vinegar and beeswax, and after
Saturday will include some queen bees.
Honey wine will make a man ''rip-roar-
ing drunk and he will stay that way for
long time. says the sergeant

and as a side issue will bring one a snug
sum of money each year with little la

$500 above expenses. This year was a
poor season for honey and l will clear
