The Illinois state fire marshal esti-
mates that his state loses $4,000 600
per month by fire and that most of
the fires are primarily due to care
~lessness. He estimates the national
fire loss at $500, 900, 900 per year and
points out that this almost needless
waste would nearly pay for the opera
ton of the postal system.

mand American farmers may we'll en-
deavor to raise well-bred horses, al
though the department of agriculture
does not advise them to purchase a
surplus of horses merely for breeding
purposes. 1t merely advises that or
binary farm work should be done
whenever possible by good mares
which should be bred to good stations.
1t also desires to emphasize the fact
that only horses of high quality may
be profitably raised today. Inferior
horses are a drug on the market, and
their production is to be discouraged
as much as the production OF good
horses should be encouraged.

Davenport Times:
The nation that has the cannon
will find occasion to use it. The
man with the pistol will make oc-
casion to use it. If both were
abolished there would be no dead
or manned to tell the story of their
use.-Des Moines Tribune.
No one nation can abolish the pistol
or cannon. The pistol would be SNUG
gled across the border, and officers of
the nation would have to have pistols
to cope with criminals engaged in
smuggling the guns.
The nation that abolished the car
non would be the prey of other ma
tions. Even if all the leading nations
abolished cannon, the small and I'M
civilized nations would have the upper
hand.
The suggestion is merely an idle
dream. The use of the pistol and the
cannon can be limited only where
there is force to compel limited use
of both.

Davenport Times: If the democratic
party is in office long enough, the gov
eminent may have to tax doors and
windows, as is done in the old country,
to raise money enough to avoid a bond
issue.
Rock Island Argus: The United
States is giving a very good imitation
of armed neutrality" down on the
Mexican border in the vicinity OF
Naco, where it has been necessary to
mark off the line with American flags
and post a guard to see that nobody
on the other side knocks them down.
Decatur Herald: .Cannonism" has
been defined in various ways, but the
definition generally agreed upon was
the bringing in of special rules in
tended to expediate legislation. In
the sixteen years that the republicans
were in control of the house they in
voked special rules 10 times, and
Speaker Cannon was berated as a CA
and a gagster.
In the three and a half years that
the democrats have had control of
the house they have invoked the gag
rule ifty-two times, a yearly average
twice that of republicans. The most
recent and notorious use of the gag"
rule was in the war tax bill when de
bate was limited to four hours and the
measure imposing a tax of $105, 100000
was damned through by the majority.
Congressman Fess of Ohio, said in
protesting against the rule: 1--WE are
allowed four hours to debate it. We
are denied the right of amendment.
We are ordered to hold our noses,
shut our eyes, and swallow the dose"
What was a crime for republicans to
do, becomes under democratic rule a
virtue.
Waterloo Courier: Sometimes
statesmen's daughters are smarter
than themselves. Miss Genevieve
Clark, whose father is the speaker of
the house, for instance, has a more
practical solution of the cotton prob
lem now bothering the south than all
the politicians, bankers and planters.
To alleviate the ~predicament of the
producers during the present crisis,
while the great markets of Europe are
closed, it has become the fashionable
hobby for public-spirited people in the
south to buy a bale and store it for
sale another year. But this is an arti-
fetal measure which can become by no
means general enough to meet the
demands of the situation.
Miss Clark advocates by precept and
example, the policy of buying manu-
featured cotton goods in advance.
Laying in a liberal supply Of stockings,
muslins and dress goods is something
which anybody car do to any degree,
however large or small. Whatever
Champs fallacies, there is surely moth
ing wrong with the economic genius
