lorna certain WINE men are asking the courts to
permit them under the pure food law to label white wine artificially
~carbonated california Champagne"
s~a The quality Of the wine as to purity or TO taste is not at issue
IN either case. The label does not affect that. But it does affect
the market demand and the market price. Therefore the label be-
~scomes the substance and the soul of the controversy.
This extraordinary value of a name is due solely to extensive
and prolonged advertising. To the general rounder almost ANYTHING

soy This is due to the fact that we need it more than Boston. Our
natural advantages are great, but they will not suffice to hold pre-
eminence in trade if combated by an opposing energy and enterprise
more inteligently directed than our own. They must be developed
and exploited with as much force and Judgment as ure those Of any
81 port that completes.
But we know that with due industry we can surely hold our
own, while no competitor can ever have such assurance. Therefore
to Boston the suggestion of President Melen can hardly mean any
thing more than a dream of commercial optimism. But in New York
1T ought to prompt to action.

Paris finds it profitable to maintain nm exposition hall, the
Grand Palais, in the very centre Of the city, for the cxposihons draw
many thousands of people and many millions of francs to the general

guilty Of official misconduct, neglect Of duty, conduct that tends to
dscredit his office, or mental or physical disability.
The argument is that the real difficulty lies in the lack Of any
definite standard Of what a school commissioner ought to know about
schools and school teachers. Without some clear idea Of what ought
to be done in any line of endeavor no supervisor can be fitted to
decide either as to the methods OF the work or the fitness of the
workers. That fact not only handicaps the Board, but it also handi-
caps the Mayor in dealing with charges of inefRciency.
What are wanted, then, are clearly defined and fully accented
standards of what the schools and school teachers and school com
nnsioners ought to be. Ii the Bureau Of Municipal Research can
find these and fix them, i. will confer a benefit on the community.

Our Annual Fire Loss.

1t is a mistaken idea to charge our
annual loss from fire to the insurance
companies that pay the loss directly
In reality the loss is paid by the re,
mainder of the insured property in the
country. Fire insurance rates are
based on the risks taken by the com.
panies. If the companies are to pay
the losses they meet they must first
collect the funds with which to do SO
from the people who pay for insur.
ance. Hence it will be seen that our
annual loss comes from our own peck.
cts and we ought to be doing some
thing toward decreasing the amount
we lose in this way every year.
According to published statistics
our annual fire loss is something like
$3.50, 100000. This sum of money
would go a long way toward making
our buildings fireproof. When it comes
to the building of costly residence
or business house the cost would be
but slightly increased if we were to
decide to make it strictly fireproof.
The first cost of course would be
slightly higher but the degree of safe
ty we would feel and the annual say.
ing in insurance commissions we
would afterward pay would soon more
than compensate for this additional
expense in the original outlay.
Our municipal government should
also establish strict regulations for
the prevention of fire and see that
they are rigidly enforced. To say
nothing at all of the loss of life from
fires, property loss has been enorm-
Gus. Some, at least, of the fires that
have been reported could have been
averted by ordinary care. And the eff
feet of reducing the annual fire loss
would be Immediately apparent. Fire
insurance rates are as high as they
are today because the companies have
certain losses to meet. If these loss
es were reduced then the rates could
be Immediately reduced and the ex-
pense of carrying fire insurance be
kept within a reasonable limit. The
subject is one that may we'll elicit the
thoughtful attention of the general
public as we'll as Of public officials.
