Cement alEz No. 7

Newspapers print near
ly every day the story of
some fire disaster involv-
ing the complete destruction
of great property values and
sometimes the loss Of human
lives. The annual fire losses of the
United States are measured by the
millions; in fact, it is stated that over
two hundred and fifty million dollars
worth of property was wiped out by fire in
the United States last year. While it is true
that the precautions to prevent fire and fire
fighting systems are often inadequate, the
main trouble lies in fling, non.frcProof
building confirmation. Experience has proved
that freproof construction is both practicable
and economical. In some industries hreproof
building is compelled by law. Reinforced
concrete has come to the front as the most
important agent in building against fire. The
use of cement in building is becoming more
and more common, due to its fireproofness,
durability and economy. When building any
thing from the back porch steps to an Office
building, concrete construction may be safely
adopted. The use of UniUerJai Portland
Cement in the concrete will insure cement of the
best quality possible to manufacture. UafUer-
sal is handled everywhere by the best dealers.

Politics and Game Protection

1t would seem that the State of
Georgia is having some experience
in its department of game protect
ion which has become embroiled i'll
political intrigue and partisan poli-
tics. The State of Georgia has en-
acted laws for the protection OF
birds, that safeguard Georgia crops
from the depredations Of the pot
hunters, but as charged this depart
ment is already being made par
tisan political asset, with patron
age and fees being parcelled out to
bolster up individual political for
tunes.
And as it is in Georgia so it is IN
Louisiana. The so-called game
protection is the medium through
which the few are benefited and
these combine their influence in
partisan politics.
Possibly, in time the game laws
may be relieved from offensive pol
itics.

WEATHER AND CROPS
The Cold Snap Has Been General
Over a Great Portion of the Cot
ton Belt.

New Orleans Picayllne, October
%: The past week has marked the
advent of the first cold snap Of the
season. The cold snap of the early
part of the week amounted to little
as frost was reported at only few
points in Oklahoma and the Pam
handle of Texas. The cold wave
with which the week ended, how
ever, has been more general, and 1t
is reasonable to suppose that frost
was experienced over great por-
tion of the northern helf of the
cotton belt.
Although the advent of frost will
have the usual effect upon the mar
ket. it is doubtful if any harm has
been done. The first frost has moi
come before the average date
while, on the other hand, the crop
was further advanced than usual
and it is more than likely that over
the greater part of the belt it hae
reached such state of maturity as
to make frost rather helpful thar
EotherWise.
Owing to the fine weather which
has prevailed picking and GINNING
have progressed at rapid rate, ane
Lit is expected that the government
r-port, due on Wednesday OF this
! weak will show a much create
amount of cotton ginned than ha:
ever been recorded before. Ii tht
present cold spell is followed b,
dry and fair weather the work O
harvesting the crop will be furthe
| facilitated.
The marketing of the rice eroI
| is proceeding favorably.
In the sugar district the advent o
cold weather has been grea

THE MCNAMARA CASE
Women May Be Drafted for Jury
Duty

In Los Angeles, Cal, telegram of
recent date it is announced that Wo-
men may be drafted to complete the
jury which is to pass upon the guilt
or innocence of James B. McNama-
ra is one of the interesting possibi-
lities incident to the recent victory
|of women suffrage in the State of
California.
Of the original panel of venire-
men drawn for the case only about
twenty now remain, in addition to
the six who are seated in the jury
box, and only three of the six have
been passed for cause by both the
prosecution and the defense. This
situation makes it more than proba-
BILE that before next Wednesday the
present panel Of available material
may be wholly exhausted and Sec
ond panel may be drawn for duty.
When Clarence S. Darrow, senior
counsel for the. defense was asked
what he thought Of the possibility
of completing the Mcnamara jury
by the drafting of women for ser
vice, he replied
'The matter is by no means a
joke. There is no legal or consti-
tutionai reason, so far as | can see,
which would bar that contingency.
Women have served on juries con-
tinually in the states of Colorado
and Washington since those states
were carried for female suffrage
and now that California has decIar-
ed in the same way, | can see no
reason why women should not be
called upon to serve here.
Il believe that women are elig-
ible to service on the Mcnamara
trial." said G. Ray Horton, trial de-
putty for the state, but whether
or not they will be called upon to
do so is a question that has not yet
been determined. You may say
however, that the subject is one
which is now under serious consid-
eration'

Tariff Board is Justified.

From President Taft's last message
il is. apparent that he has not depart
ed from his belief in the protection OF
America labor. lie points out that the
tariff boards findings justify down
ward revision. but he maintains that
such revision must be made where il
will not injure the wage standard il
the United States.
The report itself bears on its face
the evidence of fairness and accuracy
The President makes ii plain that the
findings of the board confirm what
has long been known to every tariff
tyro of the land-that existing duties
on wool are clumsy and ridiculous,
The first real result of the plan to
handle the tariff much as the inter-
state commerce commission handles
freight rates, justifies the existence
and support of the tariff board. II is
the scientific conservation of Ameri-
cas- power.
The Democratic method of revision
is much after the old style of lumber
ing in the Maine forests-jump in and
slash, regardless of immediate effect
or deplorable consequences in the flu
ture. The Democratic idea, as eyi-
denced in the special session, is that If
an industry cannot conform to the
schedules 1t would arrange blindly and
hastily, that industry should be
wrecked.
Back in the. fiourishing days of one
Wilson it was forgotten that produc-
ers are consumers, and sthat consam
ers are many, times, producers. Some
OF us remember the result.
The Presidents message with the
tariff boards report point the way to
rational revision of the tariff, schedule
by schedule. with understanding and
justice. Old methods of building tar
iff walls and tearing them down again
in The dark have been discarded. The
real knowledge obtained by months. of
study and compiling of voluminous
statistics will call the bluff of many
tariff sponiers who have heretofore
occupied the time and attention of
Congress.
