IOWA FIRES INVESTIGATED.
state Fire Marshal Ole G.. Roe
Caused Investigation to be Made
OF 1870 Fires Located at III
Different Places.

Des Moines, March 9.-Ole C. Roe,
state fire marshal, caused investiga-
ton to be made during the year
1913 of 1919 separate and distinct
fires, located at III different places
in the state, that were suspicious. In
addition to a number of indictments
pending, twenty-three arrests and
prosecutions were had during the
year. OF the cases which came to
trial, five resulted in convictions and
sentences to the penitentiary, one
was given Jail sentence, one was de-
ported, one was paroled by the court
after plea of guilty, three were ac-
quilted and one case was dismissed
by the county attorney. One person
was sent to the hospital for the in
sane. The fire marshal asks for adj
ditional money to carry on this work
of prosecution and also for fire in
spection. Regarding the law en-
forcement question, he makes these
remarks:
THE question of the enforcement
of law and the punishment of crime
is one of the greatest that asks for
solution at the hands of an intelli-
gent people.
How may strength and courage
be impaired to our law enforcing Of
ficials so they will do their whole
duty?
How may the twelve men who
serve as jurors be inspired by pat
riotic zeal to let justice be done
though the heavens fall?'
How may the men and women of
our land, who, in the last analysis,
must be held responsible for the ad-
ministration of justice and the en-
forcement of law be endowed with a
holy and nothing but the truth when
called upon to testify in court?
These are questions that touch
the very vitals of our government.
They cannot be answered by passing
resolutions. They must be solved in
the home and in the school. We
should bring to their right solution
every influence at our command.

The Washington herald., 1914-11-14
Cause for Protest by the U. S.

The Hon Robert Bacon, upon his departure for
France last week, gave out statement in which he
said that this government ought to have protested
and ought to protest against Germsnys nfraction of
The Hague treaties shown in her violation of Bel
gums neutrality. This is the same point of view
which ex-Presdent Roosevelt is taking at consider
able length in the articles now being published over
his name The thesis is this: The United States Of
America and Germany are, together with other
tries sgnatores to various of The Hague Tribunal
conventions, one OF which expressly prohibits any
one of the signatory powers from violating the
trality of neutral country. Germany has openly
acknowledged such violation in the of Belgium.
Therefore not only in effect but technically she has
violated the treaty with this country. Unless this
country is supne it will resent the nfractiOn of such
treaty to the extent any rate of entering formal
protest
theoretically. both Mr.. Bacon and Mr. Roose-
welt may be correct On this point should like to
have the advice of John Bassett Moore, the pres
cnt counselor to the State Department Robert Lam
sing Assuming, however that these authorities
would say that Mr. Bacon is technically right still
believe that no will crtcise the President very
severely for having failed to enter protest MIR.
Wilson evidently thinks that we have enough troubles
of our own on our hands, without entering the lists
at all Possibly also he believes that if within
rights we SnOuQ lOIIHdl pIOlCSl ~
such act might be construed by the public at large
as taking sides against Germany President Wilson
doesn't want any such construction, though it
arises from an inference to be made in the
face of his repeated admonitions to all of to re-
main neutral
Robert Bacon was entirely within his rights when
he called attention to this point but just the same
would have been more in keeping with his we'll
grounded reputation for sagacty and diplomatic
taciturnity, to have kept silent But Mr. Bacon is
human being before he is a diplomat. He has been
our Ambassador to France and proved to be one of
the most acceptable and popular that we had
ever sent to the French capital He is not TIN
naturally exceedingly fond of France and the French
people and is deeply sympathetic with them at the
present time. He has shown this in his work for
the American ambulance last summer, and in this
second trip of his with no object in the world ex-
cept grant relief the grefstricen and wounded
Probably he has been SO deeply concerned in this
whole matter that it would be unnatural for him to
keep silence on point like this when his heart moved
him to speak '.......

WeaIlh Which AMait. the Farmer.

Senator Aldrich was reported to have said several
years ago that business corporation could conduct
the government Of the United States for $soocooooo
less than It costs under present methods The former
Senator from Rhode Island may have made the re-
mark or be may not but it has been accepted as an
indictment against Congress for wasting the peoples
money, and has inspired many discussions on the
sin of waste The farther removed these discussions
have been from Washington, the more serious they
have been and the more emphatic the criticism Of
politicians IN control of the nations purse strings
The farmers, thinking in dollars have found it diff
cult to realize the necessity for expenditure Of mill
lions by -the government except when these ex-
penditures were made by the Department of Agri-
culture. They have accepted without inquiry the
criticism Of every other appropriation by Congress
and have been inclined to associate the sin of waste
with the great cities Just as they do all other sins
and wicked Developments Of human nature.
Now comes Assistant Secretary Yrooman, of the
Agricultural Department with the assertion that the
farmers of this country could save SIooooooo day
if they would utilize all the information. in the
possession of that department Mr.. Vrooman is a
practical farmer, and he is in control of much of
this valuable information which would increase the
savings of the farmers $365ooooooo year. That
would yearly increase of 9 per cent on the
total value of all farm property which, in 1910,
amounted to Af,oooloocooo or an increase OF per
cent in the total wealth of the country 1t would
crease by more than one-half the total value of the
entire farm crop every year, would pay of all the
farm mortgages in six months, and would almost
equal the value of all the live stock the farms.
All this could be done by utilizing the information
now in possession of the Department of Agriculture
This information is valuable and it has cost the whole
people of the United States considerable amount of
money. In 1884, the Forty-seventh' Congress appro
priated less than $4,000 for the Department of
Agriculture and the Sixty-third Congress, at the
session closed few weeks ago. appropriated more
than Szsoooooo to be expended by the department.
No appropriations of Congress have increased in the
ratio that those for the education and benefit of the
farmers have increased in the last thirty years.
The remarks of Secretary Vrooman should be
the text for discussion at farmers institutes this
coming year, rather than the waste of the Federal
government on the army and navy, and the general
extravagances of city life. Wall Street wouldn't be
in it with the millionaire farmers if they would only
take Secretary Vrooman's advice and than
sSooooooooo year more than they now save. Not
even George Perkins in his criticism of the house
wives Of New York for wasting food products, |
comes into the same class with Secretary Vrooman's
criticism of the farmers eXtravagant wasters.

MaryIahd's Oyster Industry.

There two stages to Maryland's open season
for taking oysters On prescribed date in October
the tongmen are given start in the over those
who operate dredge boats. On the first day of No
yenber, unless the month begins on Sunday as it
did this year. the dredgers permitted to get into
the scoop and scrape game and then oyster sea-
son is wide open.
The oyster yield from the natural or common
bottoms of this State has grown steadily smaller
during the past twenty years. There time when
almost every of the 100 or so canneries located
in Baltimore continued operations through the win
ter months by substituting oysters for vegetables
Few of them do any longer for the reason that the
oyster deliveries are too small and uncertain for
steady business. Several oyster packing firms have
removed from Baltimore to Louisiana OF some other
State, where protected cultural system assures a
steady supply.
Twenty years ago Maryland ranked first among
the States to the size of its annual oyster crop
That is so no longer The Virginia yield has been
developed through cultural methods and is much
larger than that of Maryland Other States also are
continuously eniarging their annual oyster crops
Several large eonsignments Of New Jersey oysters
we're sent Baltimore last year and it wasn't in the
least like sending Goals to Newcastle Baltimore
