Pyrene Fire
|Extinguisher

The Pyrcne Fire EXtinguisher Is the
most effective device that has ever
been invented for eXtinguishing fire.
1t was perfected in 1907. A Pyrene
EXtinguisher is worth more than u
we'll equipped fire department within
five minutes after a fire starts-it will
eXtinguish the fire and does no dam
age. There should be at least one
i'm every dwelling and at least two in
every store in York county. 1t is al
ways ready for use, and you will
always know where to find it, If you
have one in your store or place OF
business, if you need it. The price of
the EXtinguisher is $3.50. L am pre-
pared to allow Is per cent reduction
on insurance on all automobiles
equipped with Pyrene Extinguish-
er or 5 per cent reduction on cOun-
try stores that have two Pyrenes.
| have a limited supply Of Pyrene
Extinguishers on hand and will be
pleased to furnish any desired in
formation about them. l am sole
agent for this section, but owing TO
the fact that the profit to the agent Is
very small, l do not expect to make
systematic canvass. You can get
one or more by seeing me. You may
never need one, but if you do and
have not got it, you would gladly pay
several times its cost to have the use
of it. See me about it today.

The situation in the Trinidad, Col
orado coal fields during the past rev
weeks has been as important in way
as the Mexican situation. Some forty
or fifty lives have been lost III con
flicts between striking miners, guards
strike breakers and militia and the
trouble has not been nearly settled
Both the governor of Colorado and the
miners have called upon the presi-
dent for Federal troops. The state
troops do not like the idea OF hghtlng
the miners, and the miners themselves
would rather not fight the state troops.
President Wilson on yesterday, maze
a personal appeal to John d. Rocke-
felier, a large owner OF the mines u
do what he could to settle the trouble
and Mr.. Rockefeller turned the matter
over to his son, John d. Jr The
president on yesterday sent Congress
man Martin D. Foster, chairman o,
the house committee on Mines ana
Mining to talk over the situation with
John D. Jr., but John d. Jr., tod MN
that he saw no way to arbitrate the
matter.

Deweu at Manila

The reason for the revival at this time. of the con,
troversy about an incident that occurred in Manila
bay sixteen years ago is not clear, says the Wash
ington Sta: All may be plain in Germany, where
the revival has taken place. Over here We are left
to conjecture, which may or may not be important.
Nor is the general public able to appraise the in.
cident easily. It never has been able to do SO.
2Technica1ities enter into it. The "sea manners OF
the Germans have been criticised; and they may
be bad. Dewey's manifestations of confidence in tho
British commander present may have been marked;
and doubtless they were justified. Let sailors, who
know all about such things, have the %squabble. out
among themselves. %s #.
But what the American public does understand,
and still after sixteen years most profoundly apprc,
,ciates, IS tie fact that the man who commanded
the American ships at Manila had very definite
orders, and executed them in q most successful way.
He found the Spanish chips, ant. destroyed them.
What Dewey's course would have been, what his
future orders, had he found the Spanish ships else,
where and sent them to the bottom, is, and must
ever remain, a matter for speculation. But he found
them in Manila bay, destroyed them there instantly

without cable connections with home-the cable had
been cut-and was left to his own judgment and
devices.
He proved equal to the emergency. Without ord.
ers, he held the fort. He saw his duty, and did 1t.
He captained the situation anoat until the army ar
rived to take charge ashore.
During all this period the American people were
enthusiastic about the man who had done SO well
and proved SO worthy Of his uniform. They consid.
cred that sfls actions in holding the fort were as
praiseworthy as had been his actions in taking it;

Some Bio Figures

EQucauOn mas progressed so LII, anu lOuliu suCit
wide distribution. that even an exper. official opinion
as, to the cost Of public work is open TO challenge.
There was once a member Of the Illinois legislature,
named Conrad AmbrOsius, a man whose str0Gg hon
esty was equaled only by his strong sense. He
served but one term, declining reelection, but in
that single term he saved his stats approximately
100000. As a member of the House Appropriations
Committee he never missed a committee meeting,
and it was his unyarying habit to subject every rep.
resentative of 3 public Institution to cross-luestion-
ing of his demands for large sums Of money for
designated and claimed to be necessary WORK. There
was no sort of values with which Representative Am
brosius was not familiar. He was a good business
man and knew the difference between cost and sell
ing prices all the way between raw materials and
finished products. And he proved himself SO muc,
more expert than the professional experts that be
reduced the state tax rate. He brought several score
Of experts to confusion with honest business sense.
There is this difference between the estimates
made by the Illinois experts and those Of the gov
erament engineers as to the cost of the Mississippi
river dam below st. Louis. The illinois experts
wanted the money they had estimated Ebs needed TO
be appropriated, while the government experts do
not want the 100000 600 they estimate will, be need
ed to be appropriated at all They, want to kill the
project in its i~ncipiency by making 1t look SO costly
that, public opinion will say it is not worth, the price.
We should be glad to see. these government experts
In a committee room. with Conrad Anfbrosius. We
have little doubt they would fare at his really expert
hands about as the Illinois experts did, and that the
real cost, when found by him, would be only i frac-
ton of their estimate. Is there an Ambrosius in the
Congress at Washington?
Some years ago government eugineeds estimated
the total cost OF building . lakes.to-gulf ship channel
OF IA feelalo be less than $150,00O,0 0O, but added,
superiluously, that it would not be worth the money.
That project being still ~agitated, it may be there has
conc q change Of tactics IN the campaign Of the war
department to discourage any use of our great inland
waters, and that now, instead of declaring any project
Improbable, it is to be condemned in advance by
estimating its cost to he prohibitive. That is the
only way we can understand the $4,000 900 esti-
mate. And we think the plan will fail. There is
more than one Ambrosius in the West.
