PENSION oEElcE DATA.

The reduction of federal pensions
last year by nearly $3,5O0O00 was due,
of course, mainly to deaths, but the
saving of $4,000 in the administra-
ton of the bureau by the adoption OF
economical methods, is highly credit
able to those in charge. 1t is not a
large sum, but indicates the new spir-
it In the management of public affairs,
and there is renewed hope in every
curtailment of unnecessary expense.
Another interesting feature of the
statement made by Commissioner Dav-
EXPORT is that Investigation Of over
$4,000 pensioners failed to disclose
the widespread fraud that has beer
so often charged. While the investi-
cation does not conclusively disprove
the repeated assertion that the pen
sion roll is honey-combed with fraud,
it will have tendency to make the
public think there has been gross ex-
aggeration in this manner.

NOT GOOD LAW.

At Eagle Grove a man was arrested
because he failed to pay board bin
last spring. The Burlington Hawk
Eye comedies that it may be all right,
but says that the layman finds it diff
fcult to reconcile the law, under
which such arrests are made, with the
constitution, which says that there
shall be no imprisonment for debt.
The HE. goes on to say-and there
are many who will agree with it:
"Of course, the hotel men and the
boarding house keepers had the pull
and they got the law passed, which
makes it possible to imprison people
for this kind of debt in Iowa. But ii
is beyond the ken of the laymen, why
a debt for shoes or clothing or furni
ture or for cash advanced should be
any different than a debt for board
1t is a good thing for the hotel and
boarding house keepers and perhaps il
is a good thing for the people, who
try to beat hotels and boarding house
keepers, but it does not seem goot
law"

MAN IS WORTH $3.50.

We have often heard the forceful
argument that If man is not immortal
he is not as good as hog; because a
hog is good to eat-at least hog meat
tastes good to most people,-while
man isn't fit to eat, except for can
nibals. But it has remained for a
latter day European scientist, who
probably doesn't believe IN immor-
tally, to reduce US to our proper lie.
el of worth, or worthlessness.
We all remember, probably, what
little boys are made Of" but it has
taken our European scientist quite a
while to figure up what the average
man is made of and to state it in COM
mercial terms. This average man in
health, he finds, has the material for
thirteen pounds of tallow candles, one
pound of nails, carbon sufficient for
100 pencils, skin to make bindings for
sixteen octave books, bone for 500
knife handles, twenty-eight violin
strings, twenty teaspoonfuls of salt
and one pound of sugar.
In the market the average man
would fetch about $3.50 as raw ma
terial, or about three cents a pound

worth half as much as the same

EAT FIVE APPLES A DAY.

American fruit growers have sent
an appeal to New Workers to start an
agitation that will result in each man,
woman and child eatins not fewer
than five apples day. Two reasons
are given for the appeal. One is that
it will promote the health of the com
munity; the other that it will create
a steady demand for fruit that will
promote the wealth of the fruit grow
ers. Nor is the apple propaganda to
be confined to that city. 1t is to be
extended to the entire country. The
fruit growers figure that If each of the
90,000,000 persons in the United States
VIII eat FIVE apples a day 1t will result
in daily consumption of 100000
apples. When the fruit growers are
asked if they could meet such a de
mand they assert they could, and say

HISTORY REPEATS ITsELF.

History repeats itself again and
again. times without number. Note
particularly the following utterance:
There are persons who constantly
clamor. They complain Of oppres-
sions, speculation and pernicious in
fiuence of accumulated wealth. They
cry out loudly against all banks and
corporations and all means by which
small capitalists become united in or
der to produce important and bene-
fetal results. They carry on mad
hostility against all established insti-
tutions They would choke off the
fountain of industry and dry all
streams. In country of unbounded
liberty they clamor against oppres-
sion. In a country of perfect equality
they would move heaven and earth
against privilege and monopoly. In
country where property is more
evenly divided than anywhere else
they rend the air shouting agrarian
doctrines. In country where wages
of labor are high beyond parallel they
would teach the laborer he is but an
oppressed slave"
This sounds for all the world like a
summary of present conditions and a
commentary on current tendencies
Yet it is an extract from a speech
made by Daniel Webster eighty years
ago! 1t appears from what he said
that they had demagogues then, just
as we have them now, with the same
hostility to established institutions
What Webster said in reply to them
is equally applicable at the present
time. The lapse of eighty years has
not lessened either its truth or Its
pertinency. 1t was true and timely
then and it is true and timely now.

METHODS OF FIRE PREVENTION

METHODS OF FIRE PREVENTION.
The National Fire Protective asso'
citation had read and filed at the Ma
tional Conservation congress at Kan
sas City the following memorial OF
suggestions to the property owners,
merchants, and city governments. The
memorial is a compilation made I'M
der the authority of the fire insur-
ance companies rating bureau, Ma
tional Board of Underwriters and the
National Fire Protective Association,
and is a detail in their crusade
against fire waste and the ignorance
and perversity which is at the bottom
of much of the waste. The seven sug-
gestions incorporated in the memoir
ial, if properly taken and generally
acted upon ought in few years to re-
suit in cutting the present average OF
re loss from SIS per capita for the
United States to a dollar or two.
They are as follows:
1. The continued encouragement OF
| fire resistive building construction
and the adoption of suitable building
codes by all cities and towns.
2. The rigorous state and munich
pal regulation of the transportation
and storage of all inflammable oils
and explosives, and the investigation
of all fires by public officials.
8. The special safeguarding Of
schools, theatres, factories, and al
other places in which numbers of PEG
pie congregate, or are employed.
4. The adoption of the auto
sprinkler system as fire extinguish
| ing agent in all commercial establish
ments and city blocks.
5. The universal adoption and use
! of the safety match.
/ 6. A safe and intelligent celebration
Of Independence day.
7. Special education of children ant
their parents in habits of care re
garding fire.

Edwin R. Keedy, member of the
Nor western Law School faculty, de-
clared recently in an address before
the Legal Club OF Chicago that the un-
satisfactory results in our courts are
due largely to the fact that our pro-
cedure practice, embodying many de-
lays, gives the prisoner an undue adj
vantage, He advocated court pro-
ceilings like the English use and as
proof of its superiority he cited the
Crippen case, comparing it with sew
eral trials in the United States, noted
for the length of time required to
reach a verdict.
