The Fire Alarm

The impression persists grows that mistake was made with the order suspending the ,ime-honored fire alarm. The order based uron the belief that it served other purpose than to excite the populace and attract large and undesirable audiences to fires. It set automobiles and other vehicles scurrying along the streets in of the fire apparatus, whose progress was tscr,ly often impeded. The stree-s in the vicinity ,f fires were generally congested that firemen went about their work with difficulty. There seemed enough in this indictment to rant the suspension of the fire alarm.
 But there is another side. Rather. the silence of bell has produced realization that the bell might have been made a useful instrument in >fire fighting instead of the nuisance which it seemed to have become. Now when the apparatus called out by a still alarm" dashes upon the street finds it's way impeded by un- warned drivers and pedestrians. The members of the volunteer fire department without notifi- cation that their services be needed Under ;his system of silence there might well be volunteer department.
 T. has been suggested, and we think reasonably that the fire alarm resumed with regulations which will make it useful rather than nuisance. one regulation should require that all persons in vehicles on the streets leading fire at the time of the sounding of ,he alarm should at lark along the sideyyaI.; and remain there until tEc apparatus had rushed by. Another regulation should create a fire fighting district say a block two in every direction from the fire, within which vehicles should be allowed and per sons to interfere with the work the firemen. The enforcement of such regulations would not only the objections the fire alarm, but they would also make the alarm serviceable
 There still another thing. If without hay ing heard alarm. citizen downtown happens to the fire fighting apparatus hurrying in the direction in which he lives, he is filled with appre- hension which he would felt he had been informed by the alarm that the fire half block away. Also, though citizen may not l@ of much service in fire fighting, he would like Co have notice of fire his home in order that he superintend the work salvage
 There more arguments in favor of the fire alarm than against it.

Mir. Ford and the Allies

The allies threatening tc get even with Henry Ford for throwing obstacles in the way O th,. complete success of the Anglo-F French loan, which by the way, has Vet been made-onIy contracted for The opposition of MT. Ford may le quite a serious handicap his vast accumula- ,ion of money is deposited in many banks and he threatens to withdraw it from such banks as sub scribe the loan.
 The allies threaten in retaliation buy no manufactured by Mr. Ford, whose wares figure more largely in the transportation equipment O the allied armies than those of any other facturer in the world only because they are cheaper but also because they better adapted to the peculiar work for which they wanted.
 NTr. Ford says that his objection to the loan is not based any sentiment of hostility toward the allies or sympathy with the Germans. He is opposed to it merely because it proposes sup piy means for prolongng war. which has lasted loo long already The same thing may be said Of every cartridge cannon Missouri mule and the head of munitions of war. The same thing may ne said of every automobile and truck which Mr Ford has sent abroad for purposes.
 Thus. it appears that Mir. Ford is not quite consistent but it cannot be said that is design ing and selfish. for in the end if the loan is ef- fected he would be beneficiary in perhaps greater degree than any other American With half billion dollars their disposal the allies would be in position to buy Fords.

 Neither the war or navy estimates for the coming year have been made public in detail. It is learned that SIP, 900 900 increase over last year will | be asked by the war department; SAG. O00C0 to go tc reserve material and coast defense works and the remainder to building new armies. Part of the $4G,000 900 will go into building and armng new forts at the entrance to Chesapeake bay. It is proposed to spend more money in building forts to
 guard New York. San Francisco and other great harbors. Gigantic sixteen inch rifles will be mounted on all these defenses, where the enemy craft with modern guns would be dangerous from a great distance.
 Another expenditure contemplated is fitting the present twelve and fourteen inch rifles with carriages that would give them greater range. Much has already been accomplished in that way. This will continue until every fort has heen mOdernized. No sixteen inch rifles would be installed in place of I the smaller guns owing to the expense of such changes. This is less satisfac- tory than building new emplacements for huge guns. The navy has still to award contracts for the major portioni of the building program authorized byt the last congress. Contracts are tol be awarded on November 4, for fleet of submarines bigger faster and morel powerful than any submarine craft ever designed.

1 dissolution, but will ask the court to ] enjoin the company perpetually from l further engaging in it's alleged un- l lawful practices. There is also the usual prayer for such other gen | er3l, further relief as the court may i see fit to give. One of the features 1 is that the petition contains a re- quest for a temporary order re- | straining the United Shoe Machinery l company from restoring to the prac- 1 tices complained of until the deter imitation of the suit The govern ments petition charges that the United Shoe Machinery company is a monopoly controlling ninety eight and ne-half per cent of the trade in shoe machinery in the United States. That in certain cities it has fixed, and is fixing the prices of surh machinery on the condition, with an agreement that the Jesse or purchaser shOn not use the machinery, supplies or other commodities of its competitors that it grants rebates from prices fixed in
 soc instances in consideration of the
 use by the lessee of other of it's ma chimes. Other leases contain clauses
 whose effect is to establish prices ten
 per cent less to those who agree to
 not use supplies of competitors.
 The petition alleges further that some of the machines are leased un-
 der what is called an unrestricted"
 form of lease which allows the Iessees
 certain use of other machines ob tained from competitors on payment
 of initial premiums" These pre- miums are in addition to the usual royalties or charges.
 'Tne amounts of these initial pre- miums." says the petition, are so large as to practically prohibit choice in the unrestricted form. Upon ma chinery in a factory having an output of from twenty five to thirty thou sand pairs of shoes daily, the pre- miums would amount to about $25O,- 00. This sum represents the discount or rebate which defendants will grant the manufacturer if he is willing to take his machinery from them upon the illegal condition or understanding that he will not use machinery sup piled by the competitors of the de- fendants."
 These clauses and others with the same purpose, effect, according to the petition, the being enforced by the shoe company, which has written leases with such clauses, executed not only before the passage of the Clayton act in october, 1914, but since that time as well.
 The petition sets forth that there are more than fifteen hundred manu- lecturers of shoes in the United States who annually produce more than three hundred million pairs of machine made shoes and that with all but a very few of these. the de fendants have business relations" The growth of the United Shoe Machin- cry company, which makes the ma chimes used principally in preparing and attaching the soles to the up rars of the shoes. is declared to be
 the result of sixteen years of con soIidations, bringing together the 56 concerns which at one time were ln this business.

 Now, away down at the roots where the tribe originally germinated there was an old baron (the book says he was a baron, anyway, and the ancestors were very proud of it not the book. but the baron). Well, this old lord was a noted and highly respected horse thief, brigand and several other things, and of course that was quite the thing to be in those days. I have heard that he was poddler of illicitly manufac- tured whiskey-thOugl the book does not say so.
 Anyhow. on the way down the line the ancestors kept pace with the times and got better right along.

! Remembered by Friends.

The editor and his wife received last
Tuesday beautiful set of silver forks
and most cordial and friendly letter
from the rural correspondents for The
News, that date being the twenty
fourth anniversary of our wedding.
The editor and his family very heartily
appreciate this evidence of the friend
ship of our fellow workers.
The friendship of our friends is one
of the finest things in life, and he was
a wise man who said zone good friend
is not to be weighed against the jewels
of all the EARTH" We find our tongue
tied and our hands paralyzed when we
attempt to express our gratitude for
the compliment extended by our cor
respondents.
Following is the note accompanying
the silver:
Thursday, April s, 1915.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. F. Drake:
A dear little bird let us into the secret
rs to what this date means to you.
Therefore we, the country correspon-
dents of the Jasper News, are sending
YOU this small token of remembrance
and good will, wishing you many hap
DIV returns of this day and that the
sunshine of joy, the smile OF fortune,
and that peace and happiness, which
| the world neither gives nor can take
away, may ever rest upon and be with
YOU and yours. We are most cordially
Your Correspondents.

Mayor Laughed Retires.

BY the time The News goes to press
again A. II. Laughed will retire as
mayor and C. J.. Hayzlett will take
the chair. Mr.. Hdyzlett is Il substan-
tial business man of the community
and his business experience and his
long residence here well equips him
for the Office.
The retiring mayor has been one Of
the best officials Jasper ever had. The
town has developed substantially dur
ing Mr.. Laughead's term. His modes
ty is as we'll known as his integrity,
and while he does not claim the re-
sponsibility for the improvement Jas
per has made the past two years it is
known that he has been an important
factor in it.
When Mr.. Laughed was made may
or two years ago Jasper was about 5000
in debt and had cash balance of $50.
Although an occupation tax had been
discussed at different times it was not
put into operation until the latter part
of 1913, and paid the city about 5000
last year. About Is wood culverts were
replaced by cement during the term,
cement walks laid in different parts OF
town, Grand avenue and Main street
materially improved, all debts paid anc
cash balance of nearly $500 remains
