every possible effort snail be made TO
teach the people at large. including fac
tory workers and school children. how to
minimize the danger OF fire Us well as
how to suppress and evade IL. The gov
ernors are urged 10 appoint such day
BY proclamation. calling attention TO the
enormous annual fire waste in this coun-
try, and urging the citizens TO take steps
to reduce it. Appropriate exercises can
be held in the public schools. This day
can be in conjunction with the cleanup
day which is now becoming generally
popular. 1t can be explained that the
cleaning up of rubbish Is a most effective
means of fire prevention. as some of the
greatest confiag-ations upon record have
been caused by the dropping or spark
upon a pile of dry leaves, paper, rags or
other trash.

deputy fire chief was placed at its head.
The elimination of rubbish was the first
step. Thousands of orders were issued
compelling owners and tenants to clean
up neglected corners. Smoking pro-
hibited" signs were tackled in all large
n-fireproof buildings. and steps were
taken toward enforcing this rule The
reInedying of dangerous exits was taken
up. and last year over /, 800 orders were
issued calling for improvements In this
direction. Fifty thousand placards en-
phasizng the danger of careless handing
of matches and instructing housewives
how to fight fire in their homes were dis
tributed throughout the city.
An exhaustive investigation of incen-
diarism and its connection with the fire
insurance of the city was also made This

It seems to matter not at all wheth- CT the government under which we live be called republican form of government or a democratic form of government the idea is the sime tn each case that the governed have the right to enact or approve tho lnws under which they arc Royerned. locally ns we'll as nationally. and they have also the right, in theory "f course. to select the officers who are get over them to enforce their laws.
 Whether Alaska. and Nome for w" here are perhaps more particularly in- t6restcd in Nome. is receiving the benefits due from being supposedly under a democratic form of govern ment or not each individual ritiz"n must determine for himself. The def iritions and statements quoted above are from authorities which cannot be doubted and they are we'll worth con- alteration. If we are not being gov erned as we have every right to be governed, if we are not allowed to exercise the rights of individuals and communities because we live in Al. aska. what are we going to do about u?

 altt rM:h ln lhia case he must to
 c.rt.,in event do 90. for there are
 s,,ces winch make purely mathema-
 ,,c;., t'cd,a ior impossible. in the first
 place there will be the wholesale im-
 ncrters who will expect a little added
 ,.,,fit un account of the reduction In duty which is going to make things q, much cheaper for the consumer.

Surely all of these gentlemen may reasonably and rightly eA rect to gain . little something from q measure that is to be of 90 much benefit to all of the people.
 Right there is where Mir. Wilson and Mfr. Underwood may miscue on their efforts to benefit the American ret pie. That these men are earnest ly trying to benefit the people there can be no doubt and that their tariff reduction is so designed as to do just this there can be no doubt. But there is one element over which neither Mir Wilson nor MT. Underwood have any That is human nature and the desire of each man to get as much as he can for himself.
 There is undoubtedly u general TO- duction tn all imported articles. Hut vken the importer. the wholesaler. th" middieman and the merchant have each been benefited by the reduction it is & ten to one shot that the ulti- mate consumer. Mir. Common People. win pay about the usual price. And when that fact is discovered do not lay 1t to Mir. Wilson ar to MT. Under N cod, or to the democratic tarin bill. They are all right.

President Wilson has carried out

President Wilson has carried out .
 rert of his contract made with the
 American people when he offered him. self as a candidate for the presidency.
 No man can accuse the president of deviating ono heirs breadth from his part of the contract. either. and 1t Is fair presumption that he will full nll every one of the clauses in that contract in regard to legislation changing some of the laws that tn" party which voted him into ofiica deemed necessary of change.
 1t Is doubtful if ever before has the democratic party. or any other party. placed at it's head man who has hewcd 90 straight to the line he laid down when he asked for the party's support.
 In the matter of tariff and the currency Mir. Wilson has delivered the soods he promised to deliver and np fauit can be found with him on the score of not keeping his part of the contract.
 Here are some of the things that have been accomplished by the new tari6 Dill passed at the instigation of Mir. wilson.
 More than one hundred and seven. ty.ave articles upon which the Payne Alaf4ch bill imposed duty are now m the free list.
 Representative Underwood. who with the president is sponsor for the bill. estimates that by its operation con. sumers In the United States will save a. .oOo. .ooo.oo year. That ls mighty vast sum of money For the people. the "ccmmon people, to save in one year. Mr. Underwood says that this Is the lowest tariff bill In more than fifty years: or since tho Walker bill. which was passed by the Buchanan admin ists alton. was repealed when 1t was necessary for the government to raise Nn0k0 kU0QS Ou 6CSV0kss " sMV Ns1s" that the civil war had put on the na- ttoual treasury.
 In estimating the receipts and ex- penditures of the government for the n. xt flscal year Mir. Underwood figures that hy July. 1914. the figures will stand something like this. The total revenue of the government will hava been si.o:s.0oo.ooo. Deductin. the estimated expenditures hc figures a surplus at the end of the year of $is.- ocoyOOo.

 ship that when he grows up he Is scing to have the great honor and distinction of being one of the free and independent people who govern themselves. That is apparently con sidered an advantage which the Ann erican youth will have over the youths born in many other countries. This is because America Is a republic and the definition of O republic is this. "a government in which the executive power Is vested in q person or per- sons chosen directly or indirectly by the people"

 There is an interesting clause right here in this definition. It ia this. "Iuring pleasure" The question will at once arise. during whose pleasure" Certainly there can he no question as to whose pleasure. It must Dc the pleasure of the people governed.
 This country of ours is called republic and 1t is aiso nt times re- fcrred to as a democracy. We have given a definition of a republic. Here is what Locke has to say of a dem ocracy.

 While VIC arc on the word democ- racy 1t might be we'll to take a glance 1t some of the things which the dem ocratic party claims as Its principles ln regard to government in order to zee if the people of Alaska. and more particularly the people of Nome. are getting their full share of the rights that should accrue to them under a republican or democratic form of government. wc uso the words in their 1 larger meaning and not as referring | to parties within the country. Here arc acme of the principles supposed to bc helieved in by the democratic party.
 "The least possible interference by he government with individual liber- ty" Is one of the tenants of the faith ,e the democratic party. There are probably many democrats who do not xrow this. but nevertheless 1t is one ,f the fundamental principles of their party. Another basic principle of the party is "non interference with local liberty of action"
