Hetty suddenly threw hersslH upon

employees. The possible sources Of
fire are few; there are in every store
nowadays abundant FIRST aid" appli-
ances to prevent any spark from
spreading danger. The stores are as n
rule practically unburnable themselves
and only a small portion of any stock
is readily ignitible. II may be as
sumed that nowhere IN the universe
can every infinitesimal danger be elimi-
mated; but the fair deduction from
Tuesdays hearing is that in no place
is there any greater degree Of safety
than In New York's big department
stores.
In one respect every one will agree
heartily with Chief GUERIN Of the Fire
Prevention Bureau. There Is no need
for new legislation. The way to se-
cure a better percentage Of protection
Is to enforce the laws and rules already
in existence. At least such enforce
ment Is a first and obvious step. 1t
IS not to be questioned that in purs,,-
ing this policy the authorities will
meet with the hearty cooperation of the

From a practical point Of view the

mankind. But in beneticent effect upon
coming generations the quiet man of
science may prove to tower above the
navigator and the pioneer. and his
maine may be written larger in the
books Of the future.
The conquest of tropical disease
when fully achieved promises to open
the most luyuriant part Of the earth's
surface to the uses Of civilized man.
Vast tracts Of Asia. Africa and South
America wherein until lately residence
was almost the synonym Of death will

and fruitful cultivation. A new figure

support mankind. and this means an
expansion Of the race in the course Of
century or two exceeding any that
has taken place within historic times.
The new zones Of habitat;on will
most likely attract very rapid settle
ment as soon as the new methods of
life preservation become familiarized.
for as DR.. GoRGAs points out, there are
no lands at present settled wherein the
average return for labor expended Is
so great as in the tropics. The rich
reward of effort will he Of compelling

safety In Department Stores.

The expert testimony given on Tues
day before the State Factory Investi.
eating Commission regarding fire con-
ditlons In department stores was on
the whole most encouraging. One or
two minor deficiencies were pointed
out, as, for instance, the accumulation
in one or two places Of !nfiammable
rubbish. But these are matters of de-
tail easily correctible. No doubt they
will be made right !nstantaneous,y now
that attention Is directed to them.
Former Chief CROKER Of the Fir,

somewhat as to the fire risk In stores

And 1t Was a Short Session.

According to the bulletin Of the
Voters Legislative Association the total
number of bills passed by Senate and
Assembly In the short stated session of
1914 and approved by the Governor was
800. Yet the lawmakers did not agree
on the principal financial mea sures-

Those are to be considered at an ex-
traordinary session beginning Monday.
Governor GLYNN Is credited with ve-
toing c23 bills. and credit is the word
to use In describing his action. Mayors
Of cities killed thirty-four. AS the
count stands. the number of new stat
utes chargeable against the Legislature
Is thirty-one less than the number at
tained by the lawmakers and Governor
in 1912. and o6l fewer than the noble
record reached in the legislative de-
bauch Of 1913.
The session Of 1914 was short: the
Legislature was divided politically, the
Assembly being Republican. the Senate
Democratic. 1t Is true that the ma
jority In the smaller body was a band

The Mediators' Proposal of IL Truce

Having accepted the mediation Of
Argentina Brazil and Chile. neither
President WILSON nor General HUERrA
can very well reject the proposal made
by Ambassador DA CANA for definite
truce or armistice as a guaranty that
their negotiations will not be inter-
rupted. In his acceptance Of the prof
fer of mediation Mr.. WILSON made the
condition that there should be no hos
tile act on the part Of General HUERTA.
and a truce or armistice-the term is
Of no special consequence in this anom-
nlous case-would apparently be n
welcome arrangement provided the pc
Rod Of grace were fully understood by
both sides. President WILSON is will

Of punctiliO II II holds promise Of a
satisfactory issue. and General HUERTA
has always been Indifferent to the pas
sage Of time In his negotiations with
the United States. He certainly has
nothing to lose by waiting policy.
There Is, however. one difficulty TO
he considered in arranging "A truce. Mr..
WILSON has requested the mediators to
discuss terms Of permanent settle
ment" with "the several elements Of

that II the mediators are to make salts

pral HUERrA might be willing to waive
this condition, but it Is doubtful
whether the Constituencies, who
are continuing their campaign against
the Federals, would see that anything
was to be gained for their cause by
suspending operations in the field. The
proposal for truce may therefore turn
out to be crisis in the negotiations.
