It developed at the Fire Prevention
Congress recently held in St. Paul
that the losses through fire in TIL
United States were double and triple
those sustained in European countries
One of the speakers drew comparison
between Berlin and Chicago, cities o
about the same size. In Berlin thu
losses through fire last year amounted
to s175, 900 and in Chicago to nearly
Sc, 600, 900. During the same period
of time, Berlin expended for main
tenance of their fire department S3O(
600 and Chicago ten times this amount
for the same service. This gives food
for thought. But the reasons are not
far to seek. In Germany the strictest
supervision is exercised in the con-
struction OF buildings and the manner
in which they are kept up. Besides
that, the sale of undesired buildings
to insurance companies by setting
them on fire seems to be in vogue here
only. Many fires are caused by de-
fective chimneys, chimney-sweeps IN
Germany are appointed by municipali'
tiesand they know their business and
are reliable and WHAT'S more perform
the service at reasonable rates. The
chimney sweeps we know here are tran.
sients and the citizens are naturally
reluctant to entrust this work to some
one whom they do not know, who does
not inspire confident, and who usually
charges an excessive toll. Methods
in vogue in the Fatherland have beef
pooh-poohed q great deal by US, be-
cause We naturally took it for granted
that nothing good could come from
any country that is governed by 9
Kaiser. Our city has been quite for
tunste in the matter of serious confls-
grstions, but We never know how
soon disastrous fire may come upor
us. It is therefore almost imperative
that the best precautionary methods
b employed at all times. It may not
do any harm for our city to try the
Of having an official

might bring about reduction in our

A writer in the New York Tribun
says. "We are beings with mora
responsibilities. For fulfilling thes
responsibilities we receive no adequat
reward in this world"
This doctrine is mischievous ant
untrue. Among our moral response
bilities may be mentioned good con
duct, industry, fairness, Temperance
and decency. There is not tn
slightest doubt that the practice o
these simple virtues is profitable in .
selfish sense. This is as certain al
that an honest man is always respect
ed more than thief; it is as sure, Al
that q sober, respectable man is more
generally respected than a drunkard
10. And even in cases where 9 dis
honest man manages to deceive the
people and wins respect he knows o.
the stain on his stain on: his soul and
pays the price of his dishonesty in
his own bad opinion of himself.
There never was q greater fallacy
than that man receives no adequate
reward in this world for fulfilling hi
moral responsibilities. Such state
ment is exactly contrary to the truth.
The notion that there is something
alluring in sin and something uncom-
Portable in good conduct is harmful
for it is the reverse of the truth. "A
worthy, honorable, useful, industrious
man lives an easier life than does the
idler who disgraces his family and
this community by idleness and
viciousness. It is unfortunate that
worthy people. teach the doctrine
quoted by the Tribune. The one thing
that experience has taught as true is
that good conduct pays greater divi-
dends in this world than anything
else. Success in any respectable
walk in life is not possible without it.
Good conduct should be practlced
because reward is certain; bad con-
duct should Ibe avoided because
punishment is always certain and it
is not necessary to wait until another
life for either the reward or the
punishment. 1t may be, of course,
hat the reward desired is not given

The team was composed of a

the game with the idea of being a
benefit to the institution they rep
resented and which was a great
credit to the college.
The team had one of the best
batteries in the two states, namely,
King, Schauer and Durland. King
and Schauer were exceptionally fast
men and Durland's catching was
highly complimented. King is now
trying out with the 500 club at Sioux
