Children Victims of Disaster
at Peabody, Mass.
HALL TANNED WITH BODIES
Seven Hundred Tets Marching Out OF
Blazing Building Become Excited on
Reaching Ground Floor and Fail to
Use Rear Door as Trained to Do.

Peabody, Mass, Oct. 29.-Ffre swept
through the three-story brick build
ing occupied by st. Johns p%arochial
school, burning or driving to death
in the panic that followed the alarm
twenty of the 700 boys and girls who
D few minutes before had assembled
for their daily lessons.
Two hours later twenty bodies had
been removed from the vestibule
where the jam of terrified little ones
had resulted in the greatest loss of
life. The police had estimated the
dead as high as fifty. Many others
we're injured In their flight down the
stairways and a few jumped from the
windows OF the third floor.
The students. who ranged in years
from seven to thirteen. were in charge
of sixteen sisters. When the fire
broke out the sisters marshaled their
charges as for a fire drill and started
them from the building. The process
sions were orderly until those from
the third floor Joined others pouring
from the classrooms on the second
floor.
Cry of Fear Starts Panic.
Suddenly there was a cry of fear
from n OF the throng. 1t was taken
up by a hundred others and panic en-
sued. The sisters made frantic eff
forts to stop the pushing. struggling
mass, but to no purpose. The smaller
children fell under the feet of those
behind them and soon the vestibule
was so jammed with living and dead
that the flremen could not force an
entrance. The sixteen sisters es-
capped.
The origin of the fire is in doubt.
Angus Mcdonald of the state police
thinks ii originated in a closet near
the stairway and was caused by a
hot air explosion.
A large percentage of the pupils
were children of foreign ~parentage,
In the number were many of Irish and
Italian descent.
The firemen fought the fire from
ladders raised to the windows. while
the police cleared the vestibule. The
bodies of the dead generally were
burned beyond recognition.
Flames Hold Back Mothers
The first alarm of fire brought q
hundred distracted mothers to the
school yard where soon they were
Joined by other relatives of the pupils
until the building was surrounded by
a great crowd of hysterical men and
women who rushed the police lines IN
a wild effort to reach their children
The police were ~powerless to STOP
the rush. but what they failed to dc
was accomplished presently by the
flames. which. shooting from the win
dows of the building. held back the
unhappy throng.
According e the version of the sis
tiers the pupils were marching GU in
an orderly manner until the leaders
on reaching the ground floor, made
the mistake OF rushing into the vest
bule at the front exit instead of goin'
out at the rear door as they had beer
trained to do.
This caused confusion among those
who followed and congestion In tbs
vestibuie.

EDITORIAL OPINION

the budget for national defence will
increase this deficit.
The means to secure the necessary
income to meet the expenses lies at
hand, but our Democratic friends have
a strong pride and prejudice to over
come before they adopt it. It is by
customs duties that the Treasury may
be readily replenished, without max
ing the burden rest heavily upon any
one. In fact in many lines the levy
of a higher tariff may be made to
serve directly the urgent needs of
American industry and thus to con
tribute TO the revival Of American
prosperity.
The borrowing of large sums OF
money for the conduct of government
in times of peace is inexcusable. The
levy of new burdens upon business
through corporation and income taxes
when business is making a hard and
encouraging struggle to get back on
its feet is no way to proceed. The
reliable money raiser is the tariff,
and the war for all its damage to
American industry has disclosed new
ways to use it for the national ad-
vantage.
To the tariff. therefore, let Con-
gress have recourse TO put the Ma
tional Government on a paying basis.

MARTINE ANn THE BIG cHIrr.

gGEARMER JIM" MARITIME, L. S. Senator from New
Jersey has come bluntly into the open and
proved his own unhtness TO be Senator.
Senator MARITIME apparently forgetting that the power
which made him Senator could unmake him. has ex-
pressed newspaper intervewers his great surprise
that President Wilson should conferred with Gov
enor Fielder and State Chairman Grosscup for the pur-
pose of picking Senator 10 succeed him. Mr. MARITIME
because as he naively explains the New Jersey primary
law provides that tic voters shall select the candi-
date.
This law vas passed in Mr.. Wilson's administration
as Governor" says the injured Mr. Marne "and was
looked upon as aboshng the old boss system of Sc
lecting candidates"
OF course it was looked upon-by the people-
and thought that such was the intention OF Wilson
for whom the law made many votes But that was not
the intention Of Mr. Wilson, then or now and the fact
that Mr. MARITIME has been closely associated with Mr.
WILSON, during his term Governor and later as Pres
dent without realizing that it is only the Republcans
who have BOSSES while the Democratic bosses are
statesmen" and the further fact that Mr. Wilson has
as much contempt for popular now as he had when
he was Governor Of New Jersey conclusively mark N
MARITIME as man Of too dull perceptions to serve his
party usefully in the United States Senate
Mr.. MARITIME completely fails to understand the
Wilson system OF dieatoria leadership that it is no
wonder that Mr.. Wilson summoned the New JERSEY
party leaders" 70 select another man for Mr. Mar
tines shoes.

To Put On Flesh
and Increase Weight

GOOD ADVICE FOR THIN PEOPLE
I'D certainly give most anything
to be able to gain a few pounds and
stay that way" declare many thin men
and women. Such a result is usually
not impossible despite past failures.
Most thin people are victims OF NAL
nutrition, a condition which prevents
the fatty elements of food from being
taken up by the blood as they are
when the powers of nutrition are nor
NAL Instead Of getting into the blood
much of the fat and flesh producing
elements stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to pro-
duce a healthy. normal amount OF fat
the flesh making food elements must
be so prepared in the digestive pro
cesses that the blood will accept aud
distribute them throughout the BODY.
There is a preparation called Sarqol
which works on this basis and which
is sold by nearly every druggist on a
positive guarantee of weight increase

a system cannot be created by spending
a bookkeeping surplus in the Treasury
or by asking Congress to vote SIG
392 600 with the intention of using only
S93,s00O00 of it next year.
Ii Congress is wise it will disregard
Mr. McAdoO's sloioht-of-hand finance
and look the situation squarelv in the
face The sugar duties viii have to be
continued. They never should have been
removed. The emergency war taxes, used
last year and this year to cover up ordi-
nary deficiencies. will have TO be re-
tained. Other taxes may have to be re-
sorted TO. Yet there would be no need
TO resort 90 such additional taxes if the
administration had the courage to turn
real money into the general fund of the
Treasury by issuing Panama Canal
bonds for the purpose of repaying the
excessive advances made from that fund
Tor canal construction.
The United st ties has laid an unfair
burden on the present generation by
trying to pay the cost of the canal in so
large measure out of current Treasury
revenues. I he canal will benefit the
next generation more than il can bene-
Mt this one. Its cost ought TO be fairly
apportioned among the benehciaries.
Congress never intended to saddle three
ffths OF il on the taxpayers of a single
decade The Panama Canal act provided
for the issue 1915, ,0O0.0 600 of bonds to
meet the expense of canal construction.
But so far only Sl3S, ,6OO,S69 has been
raised by bond sales, while S222, ,43s, ,32l
has been spent out of ordinary Treas
ury receipts.
There is no good reason why the
S222, ,43s,32l so far advanced by the
Treasury should not be reimbursed and
the construction account from now on
should not be paid through bond sales
A real system of national defence is as
great a public need as the Panama
Canal is. We may lose the canal if we
fail TO put ourselves in condition to
defend it. If we shift to the next gen
Grafton a proper share of the financial
burden of supporting it we shall have
enough cash on hand with which TO ere.
ate an adequate navy and 10 get a
modern military system started.
The administration hostility to en-
issue of Panama Canal bonds is purely
political. II wants to hold the threat
OF new taxation over the country so as
TO cool down ardor for military prepar-
alton. 1t wants to close to public use
an ample source of revenue Immediately
available. II should not be permitted to
do this. Here is tax fund already COL
lectcd which can be used TO the greatest
possible public advantage.
If Mr. McAdoo's statement proves
anything it proves the folly Of letting
this great resource go unutilized in a
crisis which calls for the enlargem mt
Of our navy and the immediate rcor-
ganization Of our antiquated military
establishment.

CANAnA 1 HELpFII rAcr0R.

NtEAn BRITAIN, through the Canadian Government
~ has Communicated approximately 2OOOOOOO bushels
Of wheat in Canada. The understanding is that the
bulk OF will be shipped TO Italy cover the short
age that has been created there by the failure Of the
Quadruple Entente to force the Dardaneles and re-
lease the large stocks Of wheat that are tied up in the
Black Sea ports OF Russia.
II is said it is the purpose Of the British Government
through the Canadian Grain Commission to pay to the
wheat owners fair price for the wheat seized but to
make it understood that Canada is not to be used as
base by wheat spectators. Even after the 20OOO-
600 bushels have been exported there still will remain
in Canada many millions OF bushels OF surplus wheat
upon which the Quadruple Entente may continue to
draw it needs it,
Canada is certainly doing great work in assisting
Great Britain and her allies in prosecuting the war
She has given large amounts of money; sent thousands
Of mon to the 'front.' engaged largely in the supplying
Of munitions of war and served veritable store
house from which the allied nations might draw their
supplies of grain and other foodstuns is assistance
that has counted, and heavily in favor of the

DEMOCRATS 1.5OO.OOO

bLMVthAiS lsOUO.UJO
VOTES BEHIND
From the Detroit Free Press.
The entire trend OF last weeks cleo
tions is in the direction of only sta-
tiouary totals for the Democrats. This
indeed is the theme upon which that
party's spokesmen have. been dwell
ing. They point with pleasure to the
fact that their party is not losing
ground. disregarding the plain lesson
that Il must do more than hold It's
ground and must make marked in
creases to have any chance whatever
next year.
Trying to read the future in the
light of the past, the most certain
fact about next years elections is that
one object is missing from the picture
OF Democratic victory. That object is a
gain of 100000 votes. It doesn't
show anywhere as yet.
No doubt, the events OF the next
twelve months will reconstruct tho
picture completely and it Is almost
wasting time to try to decipher its
true outlines at this distance But as
long as our political and newspaper
friends are undertaking to perform
that trick of prophecy il would be just
as well for them to- go at it OPEN
eyed.

Juggling With Preparedness
lFrom the New York Tribune.l

II is hard TO see exactly what secre-
tary McAdoo was driving at when he is
sued his forecast of expenditures at the
next session Of Congress. His statement
of the condition Of the Treasury and of
tine cost OF the administrations program
OF military preparedness is disingenuous
and confusing IL resorts 20 novel book
keeping DEVICES to conceal the depletion
OF the general fund of the Treasury
caused by excessive appropriations for
purposes having nothing TO do with the
national defence 1t mnimizes the cut
lay to be made in l9l65l7 under the ad
ministration's plans for the increase of
the army and navy. Il deprecates the
issue of bonds to continue work on the
Panama Canal on the issue of bonds to
repay advances made on Panama Canal
construction. long overdue to the Treas
ury. Yet in the same breath il recon-
mcnds a continuance OF the emergency
war revenue taxes, a retention of the
sugar duties and the levying OF new in
come and excise taxes.
What is Mr. McAdoo's idca2 lie has
never shown an interest in any other
form of military preparedness than the
purchase OF O feet Of merchant vessels
to be operated by the government com
mercially and turned over to the navy
as auNiliaries in case of war. ,Ehe adj
ministration has been trying TO avoid
taking any measures to create a real
national defence, ON the plea that the
cost would be eXorbitant. Yet here is
Mr. McAdoo initiating the balance in the
general fund by including in it S.O70,-
325 Of disbursing officers credits and the
national bank note redemption fund of
S26,dSl 800, which used 10 'be carried as
Treasury liabilities lie also reduces
the extra amount to be spent on pre-
paredness next year from SilG,S32 900 to
SOB 100000, on the ground that although
the former sum has been estimated for
and will probably be appropriated. only
so3 100000 of it will be spent before
July /, 1917. What is the object of
trying TO make the country think it is
going TO get preparedness at reduced
ratesy Can it be that the Secretary of
the Treasury and the President still
hope 70 induce Congress TO spend $40
100000 or $50, 100000 on a government
owned merchant marine, after providing
for an insuiliciently increased army and
navy?
The United States cannot escape the
necessity of genuine military prepara-
ton. That is for us an unavoidable
consequence of the great war We are
making q good deal of money ont of
the war, but we shall have to pay
hereafter for that business opportunity.
We shall be left in an international iso-
lation after the war is over which win
compel us TO arm In lf-defence. Con-
eress might as well recognize this fact
and begin to lay the basis oi q substan-
tial and durable military system. Such

G ENATOR OSCAR UNDERWOOD Of Alabama is
~ about to don his toga
Already he is bursting with great ideas regarding
the Senate.
He is strong for cloture-a polite French term which
by Interpretation, means gag rule" Mr. Underwood
is accustomed applying the gag rule having learned
TO do so when he was foreman Of the Congressional
crew that did Woodrow Wilson's bidding al the capito

tical oppression TO the Senae-where from the begin

people OF The country
Senator's are elected BY States If Mr.. Underwood
was thinking Of himself and his own state he is abb
soluely correct For lie does not represent anything
like a majority OF the people Of Alabama
Mr. Underwood was elected to the Senate in 1914
BY the census of 1910. Alabama had 213SO9S inhabi-
tants, who certainly had not diminished in number
four years later. Yet Mr.. Underwood, when elected
Senator, received only 63sS9 votes His Republican op-
ponont had 1890; a Progressive candidate had A. e.

more votes cast II Alabama had voted as freely as
Iowa did, there would have been 41O461 ballots cast
instead OF the beggariy S1,133.
There is no mystery in these figures. In Iowa
every citizen Of voting may go to the polls and vote
as he peases in the full assurance that his vote will

the citizens OF voting permitted to approach
