DEAD THROUGH CRIMINAL CARELESSNESS

The burning to death of half hundred children at
Peabody yesterday sent thrill of horror through the
whole country. Caught in the terrible death trap of
building whose doors opened inward with only an inch
of wood between them and life, their poor little lives
went out smothered in strangling smoke, or tramped
beneath the feet of their frenzed fellow victims.
The heroic women their teachers, rsked their lives to
save them but in vain. And why was this terrible
holocaust? There is but one and that is the
criminal careessness of those who built or owned the
house and the worst than criminal negligence of those
whose duty it to enforce the law requiring that all
doors in public buildings open outward and that fire
escapes be provided
The terrible loss of life in the Iroquos theatre at
Chicago was from similar cause, and one would think
that since that person would permit such fire
trap. 1t only be accounted for the ground that
those in charge of the building believed there was no
danger Yet there is always danger from fire.
Here in Salem we have building of that kind now,
and owned by no less parsonage than the government
of the United States the Salem post Office True there
is little danger of it burning yet its big south doors
very heavy and hard to open The west door is of the
turn style kind that could easily be blocked should there
he panic as then those inside would try to go out on
each side of the gates.
1t might easily happen in of fire in that building

LET US FIND THE CAUSE AND REMEDY

few days ago the Capital Journal suggested that
the Commercial Club would do well to appoint commit
tee to examine into the situation as to farming in the
Willamette valley 1t reerates that suggestion. Salem
is the center of large and very rich agricultural section
The lands mostly are of the very best the climate per-
mts the successful cultivation of almost anything that
will grow in the temperate zone the farmers are intel-
gent and progressive those anywhere, and yet it is
conceded that the farmers not prosperous they
should be- and their investment in land is not yielding
such returns as it should.
For this condition there are many explanations as
there persons trying to explain. There is but one
upon which there is general consensus of opinion
and that is lack of markets.
If it is just lack Of markets, is not the explanation
rather that do not grow the right products Is not
this phase of the matter we'll worth examining into? The
trouble with the wheat grower is understood The ship
ping trust has simply raised the charter rates enough to
absorb all the extra price caused by the While
wheat is worth from half to two thirds more than usual
in Europe the price here is advanced but trife above
normal. We know the there but the remedy
seems to be beyond us.
This may be the case that is we may not be able to
prescribe the remedy even though we should get fully
informed as to the disease but it is certain that we
do nothing at all until we do know the cause. 1t may
hurt some to discover this but whatever it is it will not
hurt half so bad as the present uncertainty.
The Capital Journal would like to hear from the
farmers this subject and invites them to express their
opinions the subject briefly possible and without
bitterness sarcasm Anger and harsh words butter
no parsnps and get one nowhere.
If lands too high let demonstrate that fact If
growing crops for which the market is limited let
us find that out and tackle some other Let us find out
if the nature of trouble and then remedy it,
if we can.

RIDDLE PRAISES GOATS

William Riddle and sons of Mon

Angora goat raising on their large

PATHETIC EVIDENCE
OF P|T|FUL TRAGEDY
Row Of Burned and Twisted
Bodies of Little Victims in
City Morgue

Peabody, Mass, Oct 29.-The din
light in Peabody's gloomy morgue
shone today on a ghastly sight = the
half burned, twisted corpses of 10 child
victims of the holocaust in St John Is
parochial school yesterday. Two other
little bodies lay in st. Thomas hospital
morgue, the victims of burns and shock
in the pupils mad flight for safety.
The ashes of yet another are believed
to be mingled with the debris inside the
fireswept walls of the school.
Though firemep yesterday reported
that q bodies had been recovered, Il
checking up process today showed that
the total casualties were %, including
the body of child believed incinerated
inside the building.
Crepe decorated doors and siler
groups of children completed the most
pitiful child tragedy ever known in
Massachusetts. A dozen Hallowe ZEN
parties at which many of the parochial
school children were to have been the
guests, have been cancelled
The children instead will be tru9ging
home from funerals of their little play
mates on hallowe ZEN.
State investigators poked through the
ruins of the fire trap to discover the
origin of the fire. They believe it
started in closet underneath the base
ment stairs, and curled upward in an
awful blast which shut off the exit of
many.
The state authorities laid the blame
on local officials for the fact that there
were no fire escapes by which the near
ly ZOO children could make rapid, safe
egress, and further for the fact that
the doors behind which several tiny
forms were crushed and trampled open
ed inward.
