Importance of Minnesota in national

recognize that !, the president is a
large factor in the affairs of this
nation and should uphold him by
reason of his ability, his idea of
fairness, his good sound sense, his
courage, his energy and his siucer-
ity. He believes in advancing.
prosperity, not hindering it by
adverse legislation based on unfair
ness. The country is in far less
danger of going to pieces under the

SOME of the speakers at the
meeting of the Minnesota Educa-
tional Association last week hoped
on the game of foot ball and other
athletics, in the high schools and
colleges with both feet. That
school is the place for the develop
ment of the minds and morals OF
young people, does not seem to
have entered into the calculations
of the speakers referred to. II
seems to us and to others that have
remarked on the talks of the educa-
tional fault finders that it makes
not much difference what the boy
studies as long as he comes out OF
the school a better, manly boy
prepared in mind, heart and body
to make the best use of himself in
life. Clean, healthy sport has
tendency to make better men OF
the boy besides giving him an
added interest in his studies. A
boy cannot be a member of the
team if he is not up in his other
work and a good, live boy will
make it a point to keep in athletics.

were appointed to look after the
details and arrange suitable pro-
gram for monster meeting to be
held at the Palm Room of Hotel
St. Paul, St. Paul, on the after
noon and evening of November
9Th.
The object of this Fire Proven
ton Congress is to discuss the
question of fire waste from all its
various phases. The insurance ex-
perts will handle the question from
their view points. Men prominent
in the work of fire prevention in
other states will speak, while the
question of the prevention of fires
in the forests of the state will be
given close attention.
What does it all mean?
1t means the time has come to
put stop to the dreadful waste,
especially so when it is known and
realized that with the elimination
of carelessness and incendiarism
IS per cent of the fire loss in Min
nesota would come to an end. A
great many invitations have been
issued by the Governor to attend
the Congress. Mayors of all towns
and cities and all fire chiefs have
been urged not only to come them
selves but to send representative
delegations. Mayors of nearly all
cities and villages in the state have
responded by ordering a cleanup
day" for November 9Th, and by
appointing delegates to attend the
Fire Prevention Congress in St.
Paul. If there are any who care
to come who have not been espe-
cially invited, the Governor and
Executive Committee wish it
understood they will be cordially
welcome to swell the enthusiastic
throng that seems assured for the
occasion.
The program has been arranged
after much work. Every speaker
is man of national reputation in
the field he will cover and an ora
tor whose words always stir crowds
fortunate enough to hear them.
The addresses will be to the point,
yet varied in character. OPP
portunity for general discussion
and asking questions will also be
afforded that all who desire may
participate and the more knowl-
edge be dispensed.

Nor once during his entire trip
about the country did. President
Taft sidestep or evade any ques-
ton that has come before him and
not once did he offer any excuse
for any of his official acts. This
was entirely contrary to the expec-
tations of his critics. Every sub
ject upon which he has been criti-
cized was reviewed with care and
an explanation given that showed
sound reasoning for his acts. Mr..
Taft said it was not more right to
try and injure corporation than
it was to try and injl1re a individ-
ual and that all would be given fair
treatment. He also said that the
big corporations must obey the
laws of the lands and as president
he proposed to see that they did to
the best of his ability.

FIRE WASTE
Minnesota Will Consider
Important Question Nov
ember 9Th

During the past few years the
people of the nation, particularly
those of the Northwest. have heard
a great deal about the conserva-
ton of the natural resources.
In the mad scramble for the
dollar the average American citi-
zen has grown both reckless and
extravagant, and the waste result
ing is enormous.
In the endeavor to interest the
public in the necessity of conserv-
ing the forest and the producing
quality of the soil the very impor-
tant question. of the prevention of
fire waste has been overlooked,
with the result that Minnesota's
ash heap has yearly been increas-
ing by leaps and bounds. Taking
the year of 1910 as a basis the fire
waste in Minnesota twas over $500
for every man, woman and child
in the state or approximately
Sc, 5000 Much of this waste
could have been prevented had the
proper care been used. If the
ratio for the first six months of
1911 holds out during the entire
year the per capita loss in Mime
sofa will be in excess of $500,
while the loss in the European
countries is on the average about
40 cents.
A good portion of this loss is,
of course, paid by the insurance
companies, but comes out of the
people in the last analysis. Min
nesota's shameful fire waste has
caused it to be known throughout
the country in insurance circles,
as the burning state" During
1910, fourteen insurance COM
panies, with combined capital of
50 $50, 10000, were compelled to
withdraw from the state because
of excessive losses, and ten of
these were so financially embar-
raised as to have to either reinsure
their entire business, or merge
with other companies. In 1907
there were 173 fire insurance COM
panies of all kinds operating in
Minnesota with risks amounting to
1888. 067, 1878. This did not in
clude 147 Township Mutual Com
panies who carried insurance to the
amount of $221,2 7S. 232. At the
close of 1910 there were but ITO
stock fire insurance organizations
operating in the state, carrying in
surance to the amount of $780,
354,81O. The above figures do not
include 148 Farmers Mutual Com
panies who carry insurance to the
amount of $274, 1908, O46.
At the last annual meeting of
the National Fire Marshals' Asso-
citation, held in Chicago in June of
this year, resolution was passed
urging the Governors of the
various states to set sidea certain
day to be known as Fire Pre-
vention Day." Fire Marshal c..
E. Keller and Insurance Com
missioner ]. A. o. Preus took ND
the matter with Governor Eber-
hart, who realized the Importance
