Fire FERMENTATION

No argument IN the campaign
against the fire waste of the United
States has been more effective thar
the comparison OF the fire losses here
and in foreign countries. The: fact
that the foreign losses have beer
about one-tenth of those in this coun
try has opened the eyes Of the PEG
pie to the Importance of better con
struction, strictly-enforced laws and q
sense of individual responsibility fol
fires. The difference between Ameri
ca and Europe in this matter was
we'll put by the Hon. Robert Stone
of Topeka, Kan, in recent address
before the business men of that city.
He said:
"We are a nation of money makers,
Europe is a nation Of money savers.
We are a people of waste, they are
people of thrift. We figure that the
most important thing is to make a
dollar, and they that it is Of equal
importance to save one. This is EVIL
denced in our hurried construction Of
inflammable buildings, and in their
slow and solid masonry; in our will,
ingness to pay high rate OF FIRE
insurance with the attendant. risk, and
their insistence on a low rate and IN
ceasing care; in our elaborate fixtures
for the putting out of fires and their
precaution in preventing fires.
1--WE regard fire as a misfortune
and sympathize with the man who has
had one; they regard fire as crime
and investigate and punish the man
who is guilty. Our temperament Is
also shown by the different view We
take of an insurance policy. - Here
if our property is insured and I'VE
have a fire we do not count 1t as
loss; simply that we have trans
ferred the loss to other and distant
shoulders. There, the insurance Is re-
garded as a tax, which is ultimately
borne by everyone.
Here, we regard insurance as q
gamble, and if there is a fire the In
surance company has lost the bet.
There, it is regarded as means OF
reducing the loss to certainty and
is borne by the whole community.
Here, we figure that the Insurance.
company restores the loss; they, that
it merely indemnifies the owner for
loss which can never be restored.
We endeavor to extinguish the fire,
they labor to prevent it. We are los
ing a fortune every year, they are
saving one" An ounce of prevention
is worth pound of cure.
One source of fire hazard is the
careless handling of gasoline. Many
terrible injuries and losses have been
occasioned by misuse of this danger

f1ammable and there have been many

On one point Roosevelt does not
hesitate to declare that he was alto
gether wrong-his election of a sue
eessor in the White House.
Roosevelt says: Let the people
rule" That's good as far as it goes,
but T. R. shouldn't show so plainly
that he thinks he is the people.
Taft sees great danger in the. re-
call. Is he thinking of accepting a
place on the supreme bench and looks

To make real progress in road I'm
provement, we must change our meth
DDS of road working somewhat; i
is not enough to construct good roads
but we must pay more attention t.
their proper maintenance, and proper
maintenance means continuous main
tenance. We may build good roads
giving careful attention to all details
especially drainage, which is very es
sential in good earth-road building
but if it is later neglected, much o.
the first cost is lost and the road is
unsatisfactory. To maintain a goot
earth road, we must distribute oul
work over the entire open season, by
dragging with the road drag whenever
the road has been cut up after rain
The Hse Of the road drag Is particu
larly important after the spring break
up: all cuts should be closed up; no
mud holes should be allowed to form
the grade should be rounded up so
that the water can run off frequently
This uninterrupted dragging, year al
ter year, adding little earth each
time, allowing it to be packed down
by travel, will make much harder
road than to put on several loads OF
loose earth. It may be all right to
change our. system of public road
construction, but firmly believe their
should be. left to the
farmer, under proper supervision, be-
cause he can do it more cheaply at
more nearly the proper time. A man
and four horses with road drag, can
put mile of road in excellent condi-
ton in an hours time after each rain,
if he is interested in his work.

Southern Minnesota is making a
fight to have the railroads that Op-
crate in that section of the state send

ern Minnesota Better Development as
ISOLATION appointed a committee com
posed of c. N. Sonnesyn of st. James,
George Atchison Of Mankato and R
B. Daniels of Marshall to confer with
railroad officials about the excursion
rates. The meeting was held in the
office of H. J. Maxfield state immi
grafton commissioner, yesterday at
ternoon.
The Southern Minnesota delegates
contend that in granting homeseek
ers' excursion rates to Northern Min
nesota and to the Dakotas and not tt
their section of the country, the rail
roads are discriminating against
them. They pointed out that the
rates would build ur this section o.
the state, the population of which
has decreased in the last few years
In this way, they said, not only the
business interests of the section
would be benefited, but the railroads
would gain increased trade.
Officials of the Omaha, the Grea
Western, the st. Paul, Minneapolis
and St. Louis and the Rock Islant
lines were at the meeting, and eacl
promised to take up the matter will

Henry watterson on Roosevelt

Henry Watterson, the venerable
editor of the Courier Journal, shows
his disgust Of the quarrel now going
on in the Republican ranks and gives
the opinion he holds OF Theodore

language:
1.-THE spectacle of . president of the
United States engaged In an unseemly
public quarrel with an ex-president
of the United States may be, as the
saying hath it . sight for Gods and
men, but from the viewpoint of a
people, proud equally of their
country.s dignity and power among
the nations of the earth, it is tragical.
Zone is moved to ask, is the White
House worth it to either of them?
"If that one of the Caesars who goes
by the name of Nero was insane,
Theodore Roosevelt, aspiring to be an
imitation Caesar Is insane.

SENATOR vAAcE's READY WIT


The late Senator Vance used to say
that his liyeliest campaign for the gov
ernorship OF North Carolina was thai
in which Judge Settle ran against him
They stumped the state in Joint de-
bate. All the white Democrats turned
out to hear Vance, and all the coIored
Republicans to hear Settle. On one
occasion, Vance was informed that
some young ladies desired to testify
their devotion to tho Democratic party
By kissing the Democratic candidate
for governor. Nothing 10th, Vance de.
scended from the platform and kissed
dozen or so OF the young beauties,
and then paused long enough to turn
around toward his competitor and
shout: Settle, I'm kissing my girls !;
now kiss yours!" When he married
the second time. he said to his wife on
their wedding-day: Ny. dear. I'm a
stubborn fellow, and you may antici-
pate trouble. Now, In the beginning
while ! am submissive, | want to
give you ore piece of advice. If you
follow 1t. Wen get on mighty well. 1t
Is this: Make me do just as / darned
please" A newspaper man, who was
about starting for a rather out-of-the-
way portion of Vance's own state. was
asking him one day what kind of ac-
commodation he was likely to find.
They'll give you some Of their fried
hog and eggs" the senator replied.

newspaper man. Il don't KNOW

Smoking to Be Stopped.
Statistics gathered through investi-
CATION by the authorities Of New York
city show that 3,245 fires In 1910 and
1882 in 1911 were caused by the care
lessness of smokers, mostly in places
Of industry. Fire Commissioner John
son, who has been studying the laws
relating to the prevention Of fires. as
we'll al to their extinguishment, has
discovered a statute which forbids
acts which endanger the health or
safety Of any considerable number OF
persons. and he is going to attempt to
make It applicable to smoking in fac
tories. He has therefore ordered 4O.-
900 notices printed in English, Yid-
dish and Italian -forbidding smoking
IN factory buildings. These will be
universally distributed and followed
by vigilant and constant inspection to
prevent the violation Of his order

SHIP HITS ICEBERG; 1900 DROWN
Titanic, Worlds Largest Steamer,
Sinks on Maiden Trip

The White Star liner Titanic,
the largest and most luxurious
steamship in the world, on her
maiden trip, sank at 2:2O Monday
morning off the banks of New
foundland four hours after striking
an iceberg. She had on board
1920 passengers and a crew of
$50. Out of that number only
675, mostly women and children,
were reported saved, having been
picked up from the lifeboats by the
steamship Carpathia, after suffer-
ing greatly from cold and exposure.
The Titanic was a new ship and
was supposed to be unsuitable. It
was recently completed at cost of
$40, 100000. After the iceberg
was struck the wireless was used
to call assistance, but other ships
IN range did not arrive until after
the Titanic had sunk, and the only
survivors were rescued by the Car
pathia. Where the Titanic sank
the Atlantic is two miles deep.
Half a dozen of the wealthiest
men in America, with many others
of prominence, were passengers on
the ill-fated vessel and are suppos-
ed to have perished in this, the
greatest single naval catastrophe in
the history of the world. Among
them were John Jacob Astor, Ben
jamin Guggenheim, Isador Straus,
Major Archibald Butts, Hon. w.
T. Stead and many others.
So much confidence had been
placed in the ability of the water
tight compartments to keep the
vessel afloat under any circumstan-
ces that an insufficient amount of
life-saving apparatus had been pro-
vided, thereby causing the loss of
more than fifteen hundred lives.
