AFTERNOON FIRE
Excitement Prevails At Germantown

The volunteer fire department, that

called into action yesterday afternoon
when a slight fire occurred in the
house occupied by Mr.. O'Leary, agent

Hangartner.
Two of the fire companies respo nd

third. The damage was slight. The
fire is supposed to have been caused
by burning brush outside near the
house.

A rousiug big open-air meeting in

The meeting was called 10 order by
Mr. James w. Owens, who presided

His Excellency, the Governor, was
the second speaker, and to make any

ways worked in the interest of the
people at large. He had no excuses
or explanations to make, as his op-
ponent has, and could take up his du-
ties exactly where his predecessor
would leave off, as he is in full accord
with Governor Crother's plans.
Mr.. Owens closed the meeting and
said he was willing to ask the people
TO sacrifice him if by doing so Mr..
Lee could be elected. Three or
four hundred people were present, lis
tened eagerly to the speakers and ap-
pIauded most vigorously each well

Tom Flint was telegraph operator
on nothing a year. That means Tom
knew how to work a telegraph in
strumeut. but had no position. Worse
yet, Tom was in love with Sallie
Erskine, and on account of his pow
erty marriage was out of the question.
If there can be anything still worse
than this it was that Sallie was as
much in love with Tom as he was with
her, so there were two instead of one
to suffer.
One day while looking for work Tom
went into a railroad Office in Kansas
City. where he lived. and told his story
to the superintendent. All the world
loves a lover, and the official looked
over list to discover if there were any
vacancies.
There's only one place L can give

Those Baggage Labels.

These are the days when trunks
and suit cases all plastered over
with labels of foreign places and
continental hotels are stuck out con-
spicuously to show how extensively
their owners have travelled. That
was a discouraging trick that an
overZealous servant played when she
carefully washed off all the nasty
posters" that were stuck all over her
mistresses' baggage. AS a matter
of fact, however, these evidences of
cosmopolitanism no longer deceive
the initiated. Half of them have
never been farther east than Kokomo
or Kalamazoo.
There is a firm in New York
which makes a handsome income by
furnishing disreputable and well
worn labels from every place under
the sun for a consideration. All one
has TO do is send the price and one
can have ones baggage all stuck up
and can also be all stuck up with the
extent of the travels. It is so much
more convenient and inexpensive.
Unfortunately this method of &C
quiring fame is no longer known
only to the few but nearly every
body is on. The reflected glory of a
much-labeled grip cannot be enjoy
ed and some other method must be
adopted.

The Morgan Money MonopoIy.

The J. p. Morgan money monopoly
is going to be thoroughly examined
by money trust investigating COM
mittee of congress. The democratic
house of representatives will conduct
a rigid probing of the alliance and
amalgamation of leading financial
interests in Wall street and will show
how an almost absolute control of
the countrys financial affairs has
gradually become centralized in the
hands of a very few men who act in
concert. 1t will, in detail, indicate
how a community of interest" has
sprung up, dominating the great
railways of the country, as well as
the financial institutions and indus
trial corporations.
The power of this great banking
combination to control credits, ex-
changes and deposits, and cause bus

Reforming New Jersey Cities.

There has been considerable discus
sion OF the commission form of govern
ment movement in New Jersey partly
because Governor Woodrow Wilson is
advocating the commission plan, partly
because the plunderbund is viciously
opposing it, and partly because it is
gaining rapidly in popular support So
much falsehood has been printed about
the New Jersey situation the following
statement Of facts in the last number
of Harper's will be of interest:
Trenton, n. J., has adopted the com
mission form of government, and New
Brunswick and Hoboken have rejected

can, Governor Wilson has suffered his
first defeat at the hands of the poll
ticians. To this extent the statement
Is accurate: The machines of both
parties bitterly fought the measure
and their efforts we're supplemented by
those Of the Office holders, firemen and
policemen included But these forces
com bined would hardly have prevailed
but for general disposition on the part
of the voters of New Brunswick and
experiment in Trenton. No exception
can be taken and none has been taken
by Governor Wilson to this evidence of
prudence. Trenton is a typical good
sized American city, and will afford
an excellent illustration for the guild
ance of its sneighbors, who naturally
prefer an object lesson somewhat
nearer home than Galveston or DaS
Moines. If the experiment should turn
out well, the change will be. as the
Springfield Republican observes, not
the least of the governors achieve

in the most ample measure for wis

very existence is at stake But such
temporary respites as they have won

serve only to tighten the hold which

1t is gratifying to see the commits
sion plan of government gaining
ground all over the country The op-
position to it is growing more and
more desperate.
Those who are opposing the com
mission plan OF government most ag-
gressively constitute a most convinc-
ing argument in its favor.

steps to bring the house and station
nearer together by means Of the tele-
graph He had no extra apparatus
and knew that if he asked the COM
pany to send him one for his and his
wifes benefit he would get snubbed
So he invented a reason. He wrote the
superintendent that the station, being
a long distance from those on either
side, afforded excellent opportunity for
train robbers to make it q base of
operations.
They might easily capture It and use
it and the telegraph as they saw fit,
but if he had a wire stretched to his
house he might communicate with his
wife and she could send out a warn
ing.
The superintendent referred Toms
letter to the fourth vice president, who
had the disposing of such acquisitions
in his keeping, and his letter was re
turned with the following tndorse-
ment:
Disallowed. Captured station agents are
not permitted to send messages to any
one. They are always suppressed.
The superintendent, however, who
had a strategic eye, saw that Toms
suggestion was a good one and com
mended him for it. but the supertn-
tendent was powerless in the depart
ment Of the fourth vice president.
This agreement with him frightened
both Tom and his wife, and they saved
enough money from his salary TO order
the apparatus at their own expense
Tom put it in and placed several keys
In different positions to be used with
out being observed.
A year elapsed, during which Tom
and Sallie used the telegraph line be
tween house and station for messages
very different from those of life and
death. For awhile they were simply

Eyes. sweetheart, I will" But after
awhile IL was "Oh. dearie. the baby
has taken four steps all by his own
self" After that the messages flying
between them were principally about
infantile matters.
But Toms strategic intuition, which
he had not been conscious Of as such.
at last proved correct. One night be
was at the station waiting for the
1918 train TO pass, after which be

morning. He was sitting before his

him and a revolver pointed at his head
His hands were in his pockets, OF
which he could see the man covering
him TOOK cogniZance and considered
satisfactory, since to put a finger or
the telegraph key Tom would need tc
withdraw them.
But here Is where Toms foresight
came IN. He had arranged a key or

called saIIie. She was not used TO get
