CONVINCED AGAINST THEIR WILL

Like the willful, rowing child which
seeks happiness beyond parental con-
troll the railroads and allied interests
are beginning to realize that the chap
eronage OF the interstate commerce
commission is benefit to them.
Before the original bill creating the
commission was passed James j. Hill,
Chauncey NJ. Dapew and practically
every important railroad man in the
country expressed the conviction that
such a law and such espionage of
railroad affairs as that proposed
would be disastrous TO the country.
Mr. Hill went so far as TO say that
within ninety days it would be neces-
sary to call a special session of con-
gress to repeal the law. and Mr.. De-
pew predicted that grass would grow
in the tracks OF all the large rail
roads.
That was twenty-seven years ago
and the interstate commerce commits
sion has been in existence ever since,
but disaster has not overtaken the
country, nor is pasture good in the
tracks of the big railroads. ON the
contrary the period has been Une of
the greatest in progress in the history
of railroading in the United States,
not despite the commission but large
~ because of it.
More than this, the commission.
which was at first greatly limited in
its operations has had its powers
largely increased. and still the rail-
roads are making progress. and as
prophets of evil Mr.. Hill and MIR. De-
pew have lost their regulations. No
better illustration can be given than
Mr.. Hilrs own system. In 1887 the
St Paul. Minneapolis and Manitoba
now the Great Northern, operated
.397 miles Of track and earned S.
90, 900 gross. Today the Great North
ern system operates 1915 miles of
track. including the Burlington and is
earning S17S.OOO.OOO gross.

rope, but we can do very much better
than at present, If the people can
be induced 20 be as watchful as are
the Europeans.
Americans might reflect that had
our per capita of losses been the
same as that of Europe. we would
have saved more than s. waste last
year. The citizen who did not have

not touch his pOcketbOok But II
did. II he owns any insured prOpertv
The loss Is met by those who pay in
surance premiums. The insurance
companies have no magic means Of
raising funds. They have 10 fix their
rates 10 cover losses and the rates
will not go down while losses are
going up. And the only way TO reduce
the total of losses is TO arouse the
people to a realization of the fact
that it concerns all; that all must do
a part toward preventing fire waste

For this reason, among others, the

the prevailing custom. In a number
Of instances presidents having Sc

So ii is not a certainty that Pres.
Wilson will choose a democrat to sue

that is what he is likely to do. He
has a wide choice of capable men
without going outside of his own
party. 1t is possible the choice may
be made from the seventh district. In

il may fall in the sixth, from which

pertS.
This was not only an eminently
sane" way of celebrating the Fourth,
but more. 1t suggested a method of
reViving the community spirit which
flourished in New England and other
sections during the early days. 1t
brought town and country together; it
promoted neighborliness Of spirit; it
made for real Americanism. Best of
all, it gave everybody a really good
time" leaving pleasant memories and
only wholesome effects.
All in all it was a very much worth
while celebration, and Fond du Lac
has probably given the rest of the
country an illustration Of how Ameri-
canism may best be promoted, how
neighborhood pride and neighbOrli-
ness may be fostered and how honest,
sane enjoyment may be cheaply and
BEAUTIFULLY procured.
Other towns may we'll emulate
Fond du Lac, and even big cities may
ponder the community picnic idea
with civic profit.-Chicago Herald.

PUBLICITY AN AID AGAINST FIRE
WASTE,

Publicity is one Of the most effec-
tive agents in a campaign against fire
waste and ii is unfortunate that the
laws of the state do not permit Fire
Marshal Longley to expend any of the
funds of mis- department in publicity
work Enforcement of rules to re-
duce the fire hazard will accomplish
much, but efficiency in fire proven
ton involves cooperation on the part
of the people. The tremendous fire
waste in this country goes back fur
Their than mere lack of law enforce
ment. 1t is due largely TO a national
disposition to careleSsness in Observ-
ing rules that are observed very gen.
orally in most countries.
The insurance records for last year
show that approximately 1929, 600. 600
worth of property was destroyed by
fire in the United States. That was
81 900. 600 more than the total for
1912 and was the largest in thirty
years. with the one exception Of the
year in which San Francisco was de-
vastated The losses we sustained
last year amounted TO practically
S2.55 per capita. The latest avail
able statistics show that the average
per capita fire loss in Europe is As
cents annually. The loss in Italy
averaged > cents a year for each
citizen. The record in France is 50
cents a year. Even Russia. which has
the highest per capita loss. reports
only S1.16 in the districts from which
statistics were secured.
There are Of course. elements Of
safety in Europe that do not apply to
this country. A larger percentage of
the buildings here are constructed of
infiammable material The very gen.
eral use of lumber in the United
States increases our fire hazard, but
that does not account for all the wide
difference. The people IN the old
countries have been sckooled in eau
ton. as the citizens OF this country
should be. That can best be accom-
plished hy publicity and a campaign
OF education. We may not be able to

Fixing his machine
This gave him due warning
That the reporter he had seen.

Under a shady tree;
Their time it was belating
You could plainly see.
Finally it was repaired
And the driver said 'All aboard"
When they all again declared.
We've got a little -
And then they passed the sorrel,
And all had on a smile
To this there is a moral
Which We'll give you after-a-while.
But we must all abide
And take things as they come,
Whenever we take a JOY ride
And the car gets on the bum.
Again it gave a vicious honk,
Gliding over valley and hill,
And again it got a punk
Just north of Kendallville.

For this it would not do
But they are known, all the same,
Well known by me and you.
MORAL:
You must have the right brand
And then you'll have no trouble
The Justly famous
And your joys will truly double.
