Senator John T. Clarkson presented
the attitude of the state commission
and its purposes in the preparation OF
the commission bill. He pointed out
the essential differences between that
bill and the manufacturers bill. or
Wrightman bill. He Offended the pro-
vision for the establishment Of a state
monopoly in a mutual business and OPP
position to the claim that competition
ought to be permitted.
80 far as competition is concerned
he declared, II tell you that there is no
competition. and there can be none. Z
am not blaming the insurance com
panies nor are they to be censured for
this fact 1t is due to the very condi-
lions under which they do business that
they must get together. / know we
say they are prohibited from agreeing
as to rates: but as for casualty insur-
ance you can legislate Mhtil YOU are
black in the face but you can't prevent
persons from meeting and exchanging
notes and reaching a common con-
clusion as to what rates are fair. There
is no competition now and can be
none"

A Pies For Industry.
There was distributed among the
members q circular letter yesterday
which set forth the attitude OF the
manufacturers association in regard to
this legislation. It came from the man
ufacturers' association of Ottumwa,
and a letter came to every senator. In
this letter there was suggestion or
postponement of the whole matter ana
a plea for no action Whatever. inc
suggestion was made that there would
be serious consequences" that would
result from an unjust and improper
law. Some of the suggestions made
were:
"a compensation law should sive
equal protection and do equal Justice
to employer and employees.

the dealers own point of view. There
were too many neighboring dealers ex.
pert enough to detect the ruse, for one
thing; and a strong risk of detection by
sharp customer, for another. In gem
eral, too, the difference in the price OF
the egg declared to the knowing buyer
whether it was the fresh or cold storage
variety
The objection by the dealers that the
cold storage label would impose stig-
ma on that kind of egg was feeble, since
the public long ago learned to rely on
cold storage for its winter egg supply
In practice, this label will merely con-
stitute an Identification of variety. 1t
will emphasize the generally lower price
and probably. in the long run, create a
more lively demand for storage eggs;
all of which indicates that these success

two fire escapes. The building sheltered
about l25 workmen who were scattered
| throughout the four floors of the build
ing, it is reasonable TO assume. The
fire broke out on one side of the build
ing, supposedly from a partly smoked
cigarette which was thrown away by
smoker who was on the outside of the
building, the cigarette lodging on a
landing where there was some highly
in1ammable material. Thus started, the
flames made rapid progress through the
building, carrying death and injury to
about one-half OF the occupants of the
structure.
But rapid as the progress of the flames
was, it was not too rapid to prevent
the escape of most of the 1875 occupants
Of the structure provided the building
had been equipped in a manner which
was reasonable 10 expect in a factory of
that kind. In the first place, two fire
escapes for factory containing highly
infammable materials used in manufac-
ture were not sufficient for l25 people
who were scattered through four stories
of the building. And, in the second
place, the fire escapes should have been
separated, being built on different sides
OF the building, providing the surround
ings would permit of such freedom OF
exit on r1ore than one side; and if other
buildings were placed in iuxtaposition,
then fire escapes should have been pro-
vided by way of the roofs Of the sur
rounding structures. A building four
stories high and housing so many per
sons should have had avenues of es-
cape at widely separated points, so that
when flames attacked one side of the
structure and the occupants were warned
in time, as they must have been in this
case, there would have been opportunity
for most, or all, of them TO have made
their escape to the street with the as
sistance, too, which modern fire de-
partment is able to give.
However, it is too late to find fault |
with the conditions of this particular
building, but not too late to remedy |
similar conditions in many another fac
tory building not only in New York
state but probably in every state OF
the Union.

CURRENT COMMENT
A Town,s Regeneration.

In shis introduction to publication of
which he is eo-author with Charles Otis
Gill, Clifford Pinchot describes at some
length Mr.. ellis work, and incidentally
gives doleful picture OF conditions in
one Vermont community. The scene is
laid in Windsor county, in an unnamed
town. When Mr.. Gill went TO it. we are
told the moral and social laxity of the
whole community was fragrant. Disbe-
lief in the existence of goodness APP
peared to be common, il is said, public
disapproyal of indeeency was timid or
lacking, and religion was in general dis
repute. Not only was there no day of
worship, but there was no day of rest
Life was mean, hard, small, selfish, COW
etous. Land belonging to the town was
openly pillaged by the public officers who
held ii in trust; real estate values were
low; and among the respectable families
there was a general desire to sell their
property and move away.
That's the tale told of this Windsor
county town. We hope that it is over
But the story comes out right
in the last chapter, as all stories should
do. A church was organized. The pub
lie property of the town, once a source of
graft and Generalization, became q pub
lie asset. The value of real estate in
creased beyond all proportion to the gen
eral rise OF land values elsewhere, it is
said In the decade which has elapsed
since the church began its work, boys
and girls of a new type have been
brought up. The reputation of the viii
lage has been changed from bad to good,
public order has greatly improved, and
the growth of the place as a summer re.
sort has begun. The establishment OF
the church began a new era in the
history of the town.
There will naturally be belief that
the town of Hartland is being exploited
TO point moral and adorn tale.
Charles Otis Gill is not name familiar
to yermonters, but Mr.. Gill was formerly
one Of the most noted athletes at Yale,
rowing on victorious crews when Yale
had the habit of winning, and captaining
the football team in his senior year. Mr..
ellis first work as pastor was in the lit
tie town Of Westmore in Orleans county,
where he established church, bnt in re-

The governor of New Hampshire is
still engaged in the practice of his pro-
fession, that of the law, and he is at the
present time engaged as counsel in a
$4,000 breach of promise case being
tried at Exeter. Meanwhile the Con-
cord Monitor is deeply indignant over
Gov Felker's alleged shortcomings, de
claring that New Hampshire is "head-
less state" and referring to the governor
as indifferent to mis- duties and palsied
in the sight of responsibilities" The
trouble seems to be that Gov. Felker
has not appointed state officials when
the executive of New Hampshire usually
does, and the trouble grew more acute
when the governor adjourned the execu-
tive council last week and entered upon
the practice of his profession in the
breach of promise suit above referred
to. just what other causes may under
" the situation are not apparent, but
it would seem that state business should
come first and that private pursuits
should be subordinated to the duties OF
being governor of the state.

Honest Eggs.

No matter whether we demand homes
ty in public life, in business or in the
home. there is one item in which we all
unite to demand 1.-THE egg. So inter-
woven are our ideas OF the egg and our
ideals OF public life that when disap-
pointed ia both our impulse is to bring
about a union of the two. When, there
fore the state board OF health, compels
dealers to label cold storage eggs, it IS
not only complying with a wide public
demand that the egg should be what it
seems but it celebrates that mystical
bond between the public life of the com
munity and the private life of the egg.
Can the cold storage egg endure this
scrutiny into its private lifel 1t can.
Especially at this season of the year,
unless the fresh eggs have been guarded
from high temperatures with the most
vigilant care, the April egg taken from
cold storage will be far better than the
egg laid the day before yesterday and
discouraged in its freshness by two sub
sequent days with the thermometer near
the nineties. Already, in our own mar
kets, the cold storage eggs, which are
usually not sold in quantity until the
fresh egg supply begins to falter in mid
September or early October, are being
offered and bought by people who know
their probably superior quality. The
fresh eggs from the west, on account OF
the hot weather, have not maintained
their customary standard of value.
That this new ruling will end the mis-
selling of storage eggs for fresh IS less
important than that customers shall
know the kind of product they buy. 1t
may be doubted whether this fraudu-
lent sale was ever very generally prac-
tised. II was poor policy even from
