Farmers In the Senate.

The United States senate is becom-
ing a farmers paradise. There are
enough men of the soil in that alleged
august body to form a considerable
agricultural club. The latest agricul-
turist to be added to the upper house
is the Hon. Obadiah Gardner Of
Maine. There is another Obadiah in
the senate, Frank Obadiah Briggs Of
New Jersey, but he is not a farmer.
His colleague, however, James e.
MARITIME, has been known for many
years as Farmer" MARITIME. He is,
Or used to be, a real tiller Of the soil.
Many Of the other members not now
classed as farmers grew up on farms.
Senator Tillman Of South Carolina,
who announces himself as a candidate
for another term. is perhaps the most
picturesque of all the senatorial
farmers. Only a few days ago he
visited his state capital, we are told.
and bought two pitchforks for use on
his plantation. Mr.. Tillman used to
be called "Pitchfork Ben" because Of
his somewhat violent methods Of
making himself felt and heard in the
senate, but in later years that OPP
probrious epithet has been used but
seldom, Senator Tillman's sincerity
and high ability having been recog-
nized by both friends and foes.
Senator Gardner. the new Obadiah
who will take his seat next December,
is q real farmer, and it is said by his
friends that he looks the part. He
would not be mistaken anywhere for
a high fnancier or a person Of the
artistic temperament. He is "cal'-
lated" to be. as they say in Maine, an
up to date agriculturist, and his pres
ence in the senate should prove to be
of advantage to the tillers Of the soil.
who collectively are the real backbone
Of this republic.
Some Of the senatorial farmers are
such only by breyet. They no longer
run actual farms. but they own COW
pastures. They are essential politi-
clans. But Senator Obadiah Gardner
is an actual and active farmer. For
ten years he has been president of his
state grange. He can drive a horse
and an automobile. No longer can it
be said that the farmer is not repre-
sented.

Fires Caused by Carelessness.

The board of fire and water COM
missioners Of Kansas City has is
sued a remarkable report, to the eff
feet that a very large percentage of
the million dollars worth of property
destroyed by fire in hat city last year
was due to the reckless use Of matches.
Boys playing with matches caused
sixty-nine fires. Older persons, who
should have more sense, were respon-
sible for ninety-one fires by carelessly
tossing aside lighted matches. Cigars
and cigarettes caused thirty-nine fires.
1t is highly probable that the pesky
little cigarette. which should be elm
mated from human use for the benefit
of the race, was responsible for more
fires than the report charges against
it. The cigarette not only destroys the
physique and the mind of the smoker,
but sets fire to many buildings. 1t is
the most dangerous weapon now en-
ployed by man. 1t kills far more per-
o n every year than does the re-
volver.
A lighted cigarette stub carelessly
tossed to the floor caused the death
in most horrible form of nearly $50
young women and men in a New York
shirt waist factory last spring. Prob
ably the man who threw the cigarette
into a heap of cloth scraps was one
Of the victims OF his own carelessness.
That miserable little cigarette caused
more than 4 hundred girls to jump to
death from the windows of an eighth
floor loft and nearly fifty other per-
sons to be burned to an unrecognizable
char.
Persons who have the habit of
throwing down matches still ablaze
should be segregated from the rest of
humankind. There should be a fire.
proof prison for them and for the Gig
arctic fends who toss aside the lighted
stubs of the nasty little coffin nails.

decress.

The Hero of Santiago.

The death of Rear Admiral Winfield
Scott Schley will doubtless end-or at
least should end-the abuse of that
brave man and will furnish an occa-
sion for doing justice to his memory.
Fortunately the recently published
book Of Admiral Chadwick helps to
establish Schley's credit for winning
the battle Of Santiago. Chadwick at
the time Of that fight was Admiral
SIMPSONS chief aid and has since
been his ardent supporter, which
makes his action all the more signif-
cant. He calls the famous "loop" Of
the Brooklyn, Admiral Schley's flag
ship. a fine maneuver and leaves the
inference that it was one of the things
responsible for winning the battle.
He quotes from the Spanish com
manders to the effect that they had
intended to ram the Brooklyn. This
they believed would have. enabled
them to escape, as the Brooklyn was
the speediest ship in our fleet and the
only one the Spaniards thought could
keep up with their own. The loop pre-
vented them from carrying out their
design. Yet it is for this that Admiral
Schley was most severely criticised.
Fortunately the instincts Of the
American people have been right. and
public opinion has strongly favored
Schley. His death and this partial vim
dication by one Of his foes will in
crease this sentiment. Most of our
really great men do not receive their
due need Of praise till after death,
and Admiral Schley may share their
fate. Yet in the end tH.
Forever the truth comes uppermost.
And ever is justice done.

should have been removed long ago, but
if not, do it now, For especially bad
