WHY FOREIGN LOSSES ARE LIGHT.

No argument in the campaign
against fire waste of the United States
has been more effective than the COM
parison of the fire losses here and in
foreign countries. The fact that the
foreign losses have been about one.
tenth OF those in this country has
opened the eyes Of the people to the
importance of better construction,
strictly-enforce laws and a sense Of
individual responsibility for fires.
The difference between America and
Europe in this matter was well put
BY the Hon. Robert Stone of Topeka,
Kan, in a recent address before the
business men of that city. He said:
We are nation OF money makers,
Europe is a nation OF money savers.
We are a people of waste, they are a
people of thrift. We figure that the
most important thing is to make a
dollar, and they that ii is OF equal
importance to save one. This is evi
denced in our hurried construction of
inhammable buildings, and in their
slow and solid masonry; in our will
ingness to pay a high rate Of fire
insurance with the attendant risk, and
their insistence on a low rate and un-
ceasing care; in our elaborate fixtures
for the putting out of fires and their
precaution in preventing fires. We
regard a fire as a misfortune and sym
pathize with the man who has had
one: they regard fire as a crime and
Investigate and punish the man who
is guilty. Our temperament is also
shown by the different view We take
of an insurance policy. Here, il our
property is insured and we have fire.
we do not count it as loss; simply
that We have transferred the loss 20
other and distant shoulders. There,
the insurance is regarded as a tax,
which is ultimately borne by every.
one. Here, we regard insurance as a
gamble, and If there is a fire the in.
surance company has lost the bet
There. it is regarded as a means OF
reducing the loss to a certainty and is
borne by the whole community. Here.
we figure that the insurance company
restores the loss: they. that It merely
indemnifies the owner for loss which
can never be restored We endeayor to
eXtinguish the fire. they labor to pre-
vent It, We are losing a fortune ev.

WHO is TO BLAME FOR FIRES
Law In Prospect to Place the Respon-
sioiity on the Owner.

Personal responsibility for the e..
fects OF fire originating on ones
own premises is likely to be enforced
BY Law within the next few years in
the United States. as il has been fo-
many years in European countries. II
the efforts Of those active in fire pre-
yention work are successful, says the
New York Spectator. New York City
authorities, in particular, are aiming.
as a first step in this direction, TO sc.
cure the enactment OF a statute i'm
posing upon the owners or occupants
OF properties in which fires originate.
after such parties have been notified
TO remove hazards existing in their
premises, the burden OF the cost OF
lighting such fires. which has hereto
fore been general charge against the
city as a whole. The theory upon
which this endeayor is based is that
most fires are due TO carelessness on
the part OF occupants OF the proper
ties in which fires start; and the de.
sign is TO produce. il possible. con.
siderable decrease in the number OF
fires by imposing a penalty upon those
TO whose carelessness fires are due
An extension of this idea OF personal
possibility, making the occupants

bic for damage TO neighboring proper.
ties, following the European system,
may later be pressed in the Legisla-
ture. II these plans succeed and are
found practicable in reducing the fire
waste in New York, similar action
may be anticipated in other States,
so that ultimately the fire loss Of the
whole country may be greatly di.

PROPERTY BURNED is GONE FOR.
EVER.

A burned city does not replace 1t.
self.
Fire insurance does not replace lost
property.
Food, clothing and shelter are pro.
duced only by human effort; hence
labor expended in replacing waste is
withdrawn from legitimate producing
for the satisfaction of human needs.
National waste impoverishes the Ma.
tion, as family waste impoyerishes
the household.
The fire waste is not really paid for
by insurance companies. Fire insur
ance is added by manufacturers and
merchants to the cost of the goods,
and whoever buys a loaf of bread. a

of the fire is concealed in the price

ARSON A RrpafHfRslBtE CRIME
Loss Of Innocent Lives May Follow in
Fire sue's Wake.

Arson is a crime. and the person
who commits il should be punished
Just the same as the horse thief and
the murderer. The man who fires i
building. either his own or his neign
bors, does so without any guarantee
that he will not cause loss of life
either in connection with the fire IN
the building he aims 10 burn or in IN
adjoining building. The crime OF ar
son is a difficult one TO fasten on 4
person. no matter how guilty he may
be, for the evidence must be largely
circumstantial because no one in his
right mind sets fire TO property in the
presence OF witnesses. This fact prove
a stumbling block in the way OF bring
ing incendiaries TO justice. There Il
a strong sentiment against the mur
derer, the horse thief, and the viola
tor OF the prohibition laws; but the
''fire-bug" is looked upon as a myth
in many quarters and is regarded toe
often as a subterfuge manufactured
by the insurance company TO keeI
from having to pay the insurance pol
icy. And the incendiary, instead Of
getting his Just dues, gets sympathy
in his battle with the company OF
with the State authority who inyesti
gates the fire.
The person who commits arson ha'
many advantages. He usually op
crates in his own home or place o
business, and can choose his own tim,
and place for setting the fire. HI
can also prepare an alibi in advance
and can prove that he was nowher'
near when the FIRE was discovered
