Will End Forest Fires.
The danger from destructive forest
fires that has been such a menace for
several weeks past was banished by
the snowfall in the storm of Saturday.
Within the pest two weeks the local
fire department has been called upon
to answer about a dozen alarms for
brush fires. some of which threatened
to do serious damage. One of the
latest of the fires burned over a
stretch of several miles, from the town
Of Thompson down into the Woodstock
avenue section of Putnam, before it
was extinguished after two days of
fighting. Special care and vigilance
has been exercised during the past two
weeks by fire Wardens and their depu-
ties to protect this territory against
fire damage.

IOWA DEATH TRAPS.

It is an unwise community that fails
to learn a lesson from the Chicago
calamity. Disaster had been predicted
over and over again thru the Eastland.
Those who were familiar with shipping
knew it was a dangerous boat. From
end to end of the lakes mariners and
Others who travel much on inland
waters knew and spoke of her bad
reput and prophesied evil of her. Yet
she was one of the ships chartered to
carry the lives of thousands. Over
loaded, potential with possibilities of
calamity, dangerous in the knowledge
of inspectors and of shipmen she justi-
fed the fears of the prophets and filed
a city with mourners who go about the
streets.
It is careless and cruel community
that fails to take heed in it's own behalf
Iowa is full of just such possibilities
backed by prophecies based on premises
quite as strong as the predictions that
the Eastland would some day drown
crew and passengers. There are hun
dreds of old store buildings without
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1915-07-28

the large complement Of exits
where people crowd together to
watch moving pictures. buildings where
the infammable films, alive with
promise of disaster, stand between the
audiences and the doors. That Iowa
has escaped holocaust that would
shock the state from side to side. and
end to end with horror is more luck
than management. We are bidding for
crushed and mangled children. tortured
and twisted corpses black with fire, as
certainly as the hoodoo ship waited for
it's victims. A man may light a match
in Il powder mill and escape destruc-
ton, but he can not continue the prac-
tice and avoid the certain consequences
of carelessness and bravado.
SO, unless the condition of the cheap
picture shows is amended the certainty
exists that some town little or large,
shall soon find itself shocked and
paralyzed with horror proportionately
as great as that which took place at the
docks in Chicago Saturday.
Whose was the responsibility at Chi
cago Ask the inspectors whose care
lessness or venality permitted death
ship to gamble with the lives of thous-
ands. ASK the owners whose greed sent
ship they knew to be dangerous to
dock where ignorance of its repute led
an army of merrymakers aboard. Whose
will be the responsibility when the old
store building blazes up and leaves a
hundred children's bodies in it's ruins?
Let the authorities whose duty 1T is to
protect the community ask themselves
that question, the owners counsel
among themselves over it and the par
ents and public whose carelessness fills
those death traps think well. For
calamity and death hide behind the box
offices of every public building in Iowa
which does not conform to the statu-
tory precautions.
Strict investigation and inspection
and rigid conformity to precautionary
measures provided by law should be the
watchword of state and city officers
whore responsibility for the safety of
their own communities ought not to be
sold for personal or political friendship
or grated upon to advantage or evaded
thru dissemination. For such evasion
is criminal, morally and legally GRIM
inal.
Does any person in authority desire
that might have been avoided had he
done his simple duty? Can any favor
of friendship or politics or hidden pay
ment of graft money pay for that?

PERMANENT MILITARY CAMP.

A national guard captain suggests
that permanent camp grounds be pro-
vided by the state for the national
guard on some lake shore such as
Clear Lake because with the attraction
of lake outing young men will go into
camp who would otherwise stay at
home.
The suggestion is good one. The
purpose of the day is to make the ma
tional guard serious business bust
ness instead of a rowdies' club. Camps
temporarily squatted about the state
near towns offer no amusement TO
young men and plenty of temptation.
Discipline is Impossible to maintain
and the fortnight is usually one Of
license instead Of helpful drill
At a lake the wholesome sport of
swimming, boating and fishing gives
young men something 10 do which is
orderly. 1t offers an attraction of an
outing and very naturally swells at
tendance Soldiers should learn to
swim as we'll as to shoot. The office
man and clerk needs the outing to
equip him physically for soldering. Let
there be a permanent camp on some
lake at which all guard organizations
can rendezvous in relays and let the
men draw good pay for the time spent
in camp. Make the work real work
with only enough play to make the
time spent in camp pleasant enough
to draw young men into the national
guard

ROOSEVELT IS EXCITED.

Colonel Roosevelts convenient as
sumption Is that lot OF misguided
ones in this country are about to in
sist that the United States shall re-
main unarmed in world bristling
with ornaments. His general PROPOSE
ton is that SO long as war remains a
probability this country must be pre-
pared for it. To this principle 1t Is
doubtful II one American citizen will
file formal dissent Even President
Wilson, who once spoke about being
too proud to fight" under certain cir
cumstances, and Mr. Bryan, who prob
ably will recognize himself as the colo
nel's professional pacifist." do not ad-
wise disbanding our army or scrap
ping our navy. Nobody has heard any
public man declaring for peace at any
price" or any newspaper arguing for
it. The feeling Of the large majority
of the public it may be confidently be-
lieved is in favor OF strengthening
both the army and the navy.
The need for battle cruisers. scout
cruisers and submarines in the navy
is widely recognized. There is no rea
son to doubt that 1t will be acknowl-
edged IN the next naval appropriation
mel Roosevelts rhetoric was disclosed
when at the close of a strenuous plea
for more adequate army he voiced
the opinion that we should have per-
manent regular army Of 100000 men.
This figure, II recollection serves Is
about what that eminent pacifist. VIII
liam Howard Taft. recommends while
President Wilson's secretary OF war is
calling for a somewhat larger stand
ing army. II circumstances next win
ter are as they are today. 1t will be
surprising IL heavy vote is cast in
congress against a bill to authorize a
regular army Of the proportions sug-
gested by Colonel Roosevelt. The pro-
pcsal to extend or improve our militia
reserve system frightens nobody SO
long as we are maintaining military
and naval establishments they should
be maintained on a practical basis as
effective fighting machines. There Is
virtually no debate as to that.

IN A SALOON TOWN.

Over at Center Point two men who
didn't like each other were filled UP
with booze. One attacked the other
with a knife and the assaulted mar
shot and killed him. The coroners
jury found that it was done in self de-
Tense. Center Point is near Cedar
Rapids and the story in Il Cedar Rap
ids paper which leans toward saloons
says the county authorities may yet
learn where the men got their liquor.
Here's another inciGent-from the
same paper. Some boys going home
from the Rapids had a bad auto smash.
When the injured boys we're picked up
the astonishing fact developed that
they had pop and beer in profusion in
the auto.
Where would you say these people
got their liquor if you were to guess
hard on the problem? Take the kids
going out of town with their auto to
d smash in the ditch, where on earth do
you suppose they got it? Those Center
what's your guess did they have to
send away for it? Take three guesses.
Size it up. Isn't saloon town a
danger to every home within driving
distance Of it? Is it safe place to
send the boys with the auto, especially
| if two or three neighbor boys go along
and the crowd is a pretty adventurous
| bunch on general principles? Is it
| good thing for the little town near by
Isn't it a fact that the gang that goes
! TO the saloon town brings back more
| booze Of a Saturday than is shipped in
| in six months?
| Where did they get their booze that
stimulated passion to killing and sent
the kids into the ditch at top speed
| Where was the easiest place? Where
| was the suggestion held out on thirty
corners and from thirty windows?

THE PIONEER

The gull shall whistle in his wake, the
blind wave break in fire,
He shall fulfill Gods utmost WILL un-
knowing his desire
And he shall see old planets pass and
alien stars arise.
And give the gale his reckless sail in
shadow of new skies,
Strong lust of gear shall drive him out
and hunger arm his hand
To wiring his food from a desert nude,
his foothold from the sand.
His neighbours smoke shall vex his
eyes. their voices break his rest;
He shall go forth till south is north.
sullen and dispossessed;
He shall desire loneliness, and his de-
sire shall bring
Hard on his heels a thousand wheels,
a people and a king.
He shall come back on his own track
and by his scarce cool camp,
There shall be meet the roaring street,
the derrick and the stamp;
For he must blaze q nations way, with
hatchet and with brand
Till on his last-won wilderness an en-
pire's bulwarks stand.

campaign in favor Of real ROAD i'm.
provement. During long time there
were no appreciable results, and some
Of the agitators, who hoped for
miracles. became discouraged and be-
gan turning their attention to other
things. But many held on. The same
arguments and illustrations were used
over and over again, being up In q diff
ferent form from time to time. and.
eventually. these pleaders for real
Improvement began to notice that
many were being interested who had
in the beginning turned deaf ear to
the pleading, or sneered at the argu-
ments. It was another case of keep
ing everlastingly at 1t, and eventually
getting results.
Today, while the actual mileage Of
improved road in Iowa is still very
small one, the battle has been prac-
tically won and it is no longer to be
doubted that the construction OF real
roads will proceed with ever-accelerat-
ing pace from now on. 1t could not
be otherwise. The agitators had noted
how street improvement gained head
way in the towns and cities. Thirty
years ago there was very little real
pavement in the larger cities, and none
in the smaller. Today every town In
Iowa either points with pride to her
mileage Of, as a rule excellently paved
streets, or she Is busy with the plans
and arrangements for getting her main
streets permanently improved. At first
there was strenuous opposition to paw
ing in the towns and eventually the
people were clammoring for pavement.
They feared that they would be ruined
and they found that good pavement
meant money in their pockets.
The same thing Is taking place IN
the rural district. Pavement is thing
50 good that no people can long shut
their eyes to the benefit, and having
once perceived that pavement is good
for them, and is comparatively cheap,
they will rest content until they get 1t.
OF course. the auto is an important
factor, but if the auto had never come
to Iowa the permanent Improvement Of
her highways would have come Just
the same. After the towns had been
thus improved. it was an absolute GER
tainty that the rural districts would
follow suit.

Topics Of the Times

The Waterloo Courier is the author
of a piece of enterprise which properly
belongs to a commercial club in boost
ing it's city, The Courier publishes
pamphlet showing the time of trains on
which people can leave towns in the
Waterloo trading zone, visit Waterloo
and return. 1t also gives by compari-
son the train time of trips to other
large trading centers. The idea is
good one. 1t should include the price
or round trip tickets and be published
in the newspaper instead of in a pam
phlet for then people would see it.
