Cold Weather CONTRIBUTIONS.

Cold weather CONGREGATIONS work
untold misery and suffering. They
present the hardest conditions for the
fre-ighters TO cope with. When once
the flames are under Roadway, with
the thermometer below zero, it is al
most impossible to stay them, and the
loss of home or business place is then
the hardest to bear
Yet cold weather CONGREGATIONS are
natural and inevitable unless extraor-
binary precautions are taken. The
frigid temperature called for hot fires
in stove and furnace overtaxing facili-
ties usually suficing and exposing in
fiammables to ignition. The cold
wave produces a partially dry at
mosphere, which makes buildings al
ready dried by artificial heat burn fast
and furious.
SO the wise ones will leave no stone
unturned to make sure against fires at
this season. A confagration that
could have been prevented means
blame attaching somewhere. Con-
slant vigilance will save an unwelcome
call from the fire department.

Carelessness and Conservation.

Chief Forester Graves says forest
fires, which have destroyed millions
of dollars worth of timber in the last
year. may be entirely, or nearly. pre-
vented by simple precautionary meas
ures which the government could cas-
lily employ He says, further, that in
a forest fully organized with ade-
quate means of transportation and
communication and a sufficient force
of rangers and guards the risk from
fire is very small. In foreign coun-
tries in which forests are so organized
the risk is so small that the forests are
insurable at a moderate rate"
Then the question resolves itself
down to mere protection. Four per
cent of the fires OF 1909 were from in
cendlarism and large per cent we're
from sparks of passing locomotives.
In either case, under proper regula-
ton, these causes might have been
prevented or defeated. And this is
just the view of most people who have
paid any attention to the whole sub
ject of conserving our forests. There
is less technicality in the system than
some proponents are willing to admit.
1t is not so much a matter of which
school of conservation we tie to so
much as it is simple common sense in
avoiding carelessness and employing
rational means of combating natural
obstacles. President Taft has himself
emphasized this point. Forests could
be protected by an adequate ranger
service under any system Of control
state or federal, and railroads could
be compelled to use spark Grresters or
oil for fuel under one as well as the
other.
This is a matter that should not be
magnifed into a great political bone of
contention. There is one duty too
plain to be ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
the forests. The next thing is to cut
out the red tape and useless talk about
the proper system of conservation and
to keep to practical propositions.

Whether the ultimate limit of the re

Shoe on the Other Foot.

II would be pathetic, we're IL not
rather amusing, to hear all these tear
ful exhortations to democratic mem
bers of the new Nebraska legislature
to remember their paramount duty to
their party and their supreme obliga-
party caucus. They may disagree.
they are told, on numerous questions
OF more or less importance, but they
must remember that they are demo-
Gratis and that responsibility for their
action rests upon the democratic party
that has gone good for them. 1t
would not make so much difference,
perhaps. in an ordinary legislative ses-
sion. they are further admonished,
whether or not democrats worked to-
gether solidly as a unit, but at this
particular time party harmony is the
important matter to consider because
the democratic bosses at Washing
ton are exerting every effort TO put the
party in shape for the great struggle
two years from now and upon the
threshold of the presidential cam
paign, with the usual splendid pros
poets of democratic success" it is alb
solutely necessary to avoid the evils
that come from fighting each other
because of differences on minor ques-
tions."
We admit that this line of argument
sounds fine and that we're the legisla-
tive majority reversed and the repub-
licans in control we might be tempted
to make use of it ourselves. But we're
this the case we know perfectly we'll
what kind of counter talk from dem
ocratic organs and orators we would
have to meet. All the changes would
be rung upon the blind and narrow
partisanship of the republican law
makers. The spine-less republicans
would be pictured as cattle driven by
the party whip-wielder. If any should
for any reason, selfish, corrupt or 9TH
erwise, show signs Of breaking over
the party traces they would be hailed
as noble patriots, and men of iron and
independence whom no party machine
could enslave. They would be en-
couraged to 'insurge" and show their
manhood and assured that duty to
public dwarfs duty to party. THE
need of harmony" on the eve of
presidential election would not count
against higher moral obligation to re-
pudiate and dethrone "bossism" and
the hope of the party would lie in the
success Of the insurgents" in upset
ting the legislative program of their
own party and playing into the hands
of the democrats.
But this time the shoe is on the
other foot and the beauties of insur-
gency within their own ranks do not
appeal to the democratic leaders with
anything like the force that republican
insurgency in congress at the last ses-
sion did. The proper place for insur-
gency is always in the other party
party harmony is the thing to preach
when your party is in the saddle.

Postal Savings at Last.

With the Inauguration today of ex-
perimental savings banks in one post
office in each state in the union, tangi-
BILE results are scored for a movement
whose agitation has continued for
more than a third of a century. The
Bee is happy to be able to note that it
was one of the pioneers in the advo-
cacy of postal savings, which was made
plank in every personal platform and
editorial program of it's founder, Ed
ward Rosewater, and which has been
steadfastly and consistently urged as
a popular and proper field OF activity
eminent to occupy. We feel we have
a right to believe that to the campaign
OF education carried on by The Bee,
and few other newspapers, foremost
among them the Chicago Daily News,
is to be credited in good part the final
achievement of the much desired OBJ
ject which in its beneficicent workings
and helpful encouragement of thrift
is bound to be of most far-reaching
influence through generations yet to
come.
The present Inauguration of postal
savings is, of course, only a start. Nor
is It likely to have a perpetually
smooth path, much less may all the
obstacles besetting its establishment
be regarded as already overcome.
Friends of postal savings must not
take It for granted that the opponents
of the system have yielded completely,
or will they fail to attempt TO take ad-
vantage of every opening that may
present to discredit II before the
public and block its successful opera
tion. Before postal savings can vindi-
cate its usefulness, II must be ex-
tended and permitted to build up by a
gradual and healthy growth. but this
extension will be fought and the slow
ness OF accommodating deposits will be
cited as a reason for starving 1t out.
/ Fortunately postal savings, though
new with us, is not a novelty in other
countries. II is a regular part of the
postoffice administration in most of
the countries OF continental Europe,
Great Britain and the British colonies
in Canada, in Australia. and in Africa
and in parts OF the Orient. In all these
countries the postal savings system has
shown that it has a mission and proved
its worth. 1t has invariably started
from small beginnings and exhibited
reasonably steady growth. OF the
thirty-nine countries which have es-
tablished postal savings banks, only
two, Hawaii and Victoria. have discOn-
tinued them. In Hawaii they were in
operation ten years and had 7,4s4 de-
positors. when annexation by the
United States put a stop TO them and
in Victoria they had run over thirty
years and were in a prosperous condi-
ton when merged into a system OF
| trustee savings banks in 1897. The
United States is itself conducting postal
savings banks in the Philippines. grown

farther into the shadow. Sumner has been
