THE COST OF CARELESS
NESS.

= Men who make study OF fire losses,
TIRE causes, etc, contend that more
than so per cent of the fires in this
country are directly due TO careless
ness and are easily preyentable.
II so per cent of the fires are due
TO carelessness and are easily prevent
able, and it seems that this is a con-
servative estimate. then carelessness
and wastefulness of the people of the
state of Illinois is causing our state
about S7.000.OOO a year.
The fire loss in the state of Illinois
for the month OF April. according to
the state fire marshals bulletin.
reaches the alarming amount of ST.
570.604. This is the greatest fire loss
that has ever been reported TO the
Illinois department in any one month
since its organization. This is due to
some extent TO the fact that in the city
of Decatur there was a disastrous fire.
causing a loss of approximately $780,
coo. and another disastrous fire in Peo-
Ila occasioned loss Of about $50 900.
Thus more than one-half of the total
fire loss was occasioned by these two
serious CONGREGATIONS. One OF these
fires was of incendiary origin, and IL
Is strongly suspected that both OF them
were due 10 this cause.
William Vogelsong, former men,
Der OF the Peoria fire department, has
confessed to the local authorities that
he was responsible for the disastrous
fire in that city. causing the tremen-
dous loss mentioned above.
II is an established fact that incen-
diaries. operating in the city OF Chi
cago and the state at large. have csus-
ed the destruction OF millions OF dol
lars worth Of property OF the people
of this state. and IL would appear that
the time IL now here when this class
Of criminals should be dealt with in
the manner in which they deserve.

GOOD ROADS AND COUNTY
POLITICS.

While the matter seems settled and
it may do no good. The Argus feels
/ justified in again pointing out the
| folly OF beginning the permanent i'm
provement of highways in this county
after the plan which has been approx
ed by the board OF supervisors.
/ Selection OF two small stretches of
road in the extreme ends of the county
and another in the middle to start
work on means that the $4,000 which
the county has TO spend this year will
be virtually wasted so far as the ulti-
mate object of continuous permanent
ly improved highways is concerned.
Neither one of the three sections will
be connected at either end with an
improved road and mud will be car
ried on at both ends in wet weather so
that they will deteriorate rapidly.
Only about half the mileage can be
built with a given sum at Taylor Ridge
or in Yuma that could be constructed
nearer the source OF supply of ma
terial such as is to be had on the out
skirts OF either Rock Island or Moline
The most important consideration.
however, is to have as many people as
The start. Ii has been argued that by
starting work in the two ends of the
county more people who live at dis
lance from the cities will become per
sonally interested in good roads and
that in this manner support for the
good roads cause will be the more cas-
fly secured. AS the plans now lie, the
improved strips in Yuma and Edging-
ton townships will be regularly used
by only a few people living in the i'm
mediate neighborhood. II the work
were done near the cities practically
all the people in the county would
have occasion to travel over them at
different times in the course OF year
and a vastly greater number would use
them every day.
There is no disposition to belittle
the need Of good roads in Edgington and
Yuma townships. for they ought TO
have them just as soon as the people
are ready TO pay their just share of
the expense of building them. but I'M
der the scheme on which the board OF
supervisors is working, several other
in each end OF the county
are left almost entirely out of consid-
GRAFTON.
To consistently carry out the plan
on which ii has been decided to begin
building hard roads next year, a half
mile or SO should be made in Drury
and Canoe Creek. the year following
in Andalusia and Hampton, the third
year in Coal Valley and Port Byron,
and so on till the object lesson has
been passed gil the way around and
all have had the benefit OF It.
This might be good politics for some
OF the members of the county board.
but the effect on the cause of perma-
nent highways would be questIonab BILE.

division of vital statistics. This figure
of 14.I as the death rate for 1913 was
based on S9O.S23 deaths returned from
"a registration states, the District OF
Columbia. and Al cities in nonregis-
tration states. The total population
included in the registration areas re-
porting is es.2s9.164. or 65.1 per cent
of the estimated population of the
United States. While the figures are
not complete for the entire country.
they serve as an index TO the general
sanitary condition of the United States.
virginia is included for the first time
in the national vital statistics. is the
result of the passage of a registration
law in that state in 1912, and the bu-
reau OF the census is actively cooper
ating with officials in other states so
that the entire country may be In
cluded in the area having effective
registration at the earliest possible
date.
The death rate for 1913 (141 per l.
OOO) slightly exceeded that for 1912.
which was 1879, but was less than that
for 1911, which was 142. 1t also is
markedly lower than the average rate
for the fve-year period 19O1-1905,
which was 1872. The decrease in the
death rate amounts to - per cent. or
to a reduction of about l death in ev-
cry s. during the interval of 10 years.
Allowing for changes made in the
registration area during this time
Cmuch new territory has been added,
when comparison is made Of the rates
shown for 1913 and for 1901 10 1905.
with the same group OF registration
states, there is still a considerable
decrease shown as per cent?. II
the same death rate had prevailed in
the registration area in 1913 as pre-
vailed in the annual average for the
years 1901-19O5, there would have been
l .O25.4 deaths recorded instead OF
S9O.S23, an excess of 134, 623 over the
number recorded in 1913. In the or
iginal group of registration states as
constituted in 19O1-1905. the popula-
ton of which is about one-fourth of
the total population of the United
States. the reduction in mortality
would have been equivalent to a saw
ing of 30.546 res in 1913 that would
have been lost il the former rate of
had continued.
The report will state that changes
in the age and sex constitution of the
population must be considered before
the exact extent and nature of the |
lower general mortality can be under |
stood, but it is certain that many thou |
lnds of lives are now prolonged that |
would have persisted only a few years |
ago. The widespread awakening of /
he people throughout the United |
States to the support of public health !
is already bearing fruit in
he way of a lower death rate.

Bed Time Tales
4 Morning Bath-A True Story
By Clara Ingram Judson.

- n NE dull, gray week in spring
the waterdrops poured down
from the sky SO fast and so
continually that people began to
forget there ever had been any sun
shine and they quite forgot the color
of smily blue sky.
During one morning late in this
same damp, gray week, two black
birds sat on the branch of the big
pine tree and tried to think of some
thing TO say. (You can fancy your
self. how hard it would be to find
anything to talk about If you had
been living and eating and sitting
and sleeping in the rain for FIVE
daysD
The first three days, they were
very gay about the rain; they called
IL showers and planned what they
would do when the sun shone. But
by the fourth day that got very
tiresome, and they spent most of
the day standing and wishing for
sunshine.
BY the fifth day they were too dis
gusted for that-they just stood.
himself to declare, Il had planned
to take a bath this morning"
"A bathl' exclaimed the other
with a disgusted squawk "a bathi
Can't you possibly think of any,
thing more agreeable than a bath
this wet day?"
Now, the first blackbird had not
thought seriously about his bath, he
had merely remarked a passing
thought. But as soon as his play
mate objected, he Immediately dis
covered that 4 bath was the one
thing in life that he really wantedi
YES, a bath" he declared. II had

well. help yourself" squawked
his companion, there is surely
enough water about"
But don't mean a rain BATH"
said the blackbird, II mean a really
truly nice bath in a puddle"
And he began to look around.
There were so many puddles he had a..
plenty to choose from, big puddles,
little puddles, muddy puddles and ,
grassy ones.
He hoped out on to the edge of .
he branch; he jumped down TO the
ground and carefully inspected every
me he saw.

ture OF the offense. The facts were
brought out months ago. The attorney
general has been given ample oppor-
tunity to start criminal prosecutions.
But he has not done so as yet. He
has not even submitted any of the
disgraceful facts to a grand jury. And
now, because the commission, acting
in response to a senate resolution, is
beginning a probe of the steal, Mr.. Nc
Reynolds protests against the examin-
alton of witnesses on the ground that
it will give them immunity in some
vague proceedings which Mr.. Mercy
nolds is thinking of starting.
