American Homes Invite Disaster.
The annual human sacrifice OF the
ancients to Moloch is Insignificant
compared with the lives and prop
erty placed upon the altar of the
hre-god by the people OF the United
States. More than 10000 human
lives and over 50, 900, 600, 900 IN
money have been sacrificed to FIRE
in this country in the last fifteen
years according to the statistics OF
the National Fire Protection Asso-
CATION. The money represents only
losses paid by the insurance COM
panies,-doubtless the actual loss
was much greater A leading achi-
tect said recently:
''This is the price paid for cheap
building; and yet the cost of fire
proof construction is only about
twenty per cent greater than fire.
trap construction. Besides, the in
creased cost is soon recovered in
lower insurance premiums and
durability, which means the mini
mum of repairs. Fire proof con-
struction means steel and hollow
tile and brick instead of wood, and
it is high time that such material
was applied to dwellings as well as
to monstrous Office buildings and
warehouses. 1t is not generally re
marked, although it is true, that
fire destroys more lives in homes
hotels, school houses and theaters
than in modern office buildings
Some day we may learn to build oal
homes so that they will last until
worn out; not until they burn OF
fall to pieces. No other highly civ,
illzed nation builds such fimsy
homes as we do Any old wooden
building seems good enough for the
average American to carry the risk
of his money and the lives of his
family"

Democrnts 10 Blanc.

DIR. A. A. Meredith, a Democratic
member of the legislature, declares
that his party Itself in the leglsla
ture defeated primary election leg
islation and he further alleges that
the leaders of his party in the leg
stature are enemies of primary
election law. In view of what Dr..
Meredith says, and his discussion
OF the subject is based on plain and
well known facts, only a desire to
misIead the people and dodge the
issue prompt Democratic machine
newspapers to try to lay the blame
on Republicans. Here is what DR..
Meredith says:
AT the regular session we had a
committee on judiciary, composed
of fifteen of the best and brainiest
men in the House. But this stand
ing committee did not suit the enc
mics of a primary Ten of the
members of this judiciary commit
tee were, and are today, in favor of
a primary. This committee did not
suit the enemies Of the primary, and
they succeeded in having the
speaker appoint a special committee
of twenty-one. Fourteen of that
famous committee were, and are.
enemies OF a primary. Now, tell
me what chance did any good pri-
mary bill have in the House at any
time when the enemies of the pri-
mary had fourteen members OF this
committee who were bitterly OPP
posed to any primary bill of any
kind at any time?

son resolution? This resolution |

Witnessed at Cuney Island. A COM

same subject: "The custom very
common at our country fairs nnd
shore resorts, of securing negro
who will put his head through a

come a target for all who will GAM
BILE on hitting it with a baseball we
regard as unworthy place in an

it is that that sort of sport is all
right so long as it is a negro that
is hit. We grant the negro hires
himself out for this purpose; never

him and upon no small part of those
who witness it,"

Occasionally in this great land IF

likewise of intensified civil
ization, occurs an event that harks
back to the Dark Ages or the Eav-

such occurrences that have shocked

usual degree are the Beattie case in
Virginia and the tarring of young
woman in Kansas.
Less notorious, yet still outrageous
to people of refined and cultured ma

not infrequently imposed by police,

AL. G. FIELDS MINsTERLs.

When Al G. Fields was arranging
the big scenic spectacle called Under
the Sea- which is a feature of the
25th anniversary jubilee production
of the big show which bears his name,
he determined to use an enormous
glass tank with live fish and other
specimens of deep sea life. Mr. Field
determined to make this the most
spectacular scenic feature ever seen
on the stage, and Emil Armbuster, the
scenic artist studied the waters of the
ocean in an effort to get the spectacle
true to nature.
At first il looked as if it would be
impossible 10 reduce to canvas the
marvellous scenes Armbuster saw I'M
der the waters When MIR Field
had almost given up hope ever OF get
ting the production in the shape ne
wanted, an inventor Of an electric
talking sign made a suggestion. II
was a patent he used in the erection
of his signs, but he was willing to
give Mr.. Field the use of it. II was
tried out in the water effect. and prov
ed 10 be exactly the effect Mr. Field
wanted. The order for the glass tank
was cancelled, as the water effect ana
the work of Scenic Artist Armbuster
gave a greater opportunity for stage
effectiveness. The result is one of the
most spectacular scenes ever shown
on the stage At the Illinois Sunday.
