A National Extravaganza.

Human carelessness causes most fires. Acting
unon this fact. many foreign municipalities never
have conhagration. or even little blaze but
that somebody goes 10 Jail for it. The result OF
this system is a very small FIRE waste annually
Among our national extravagances, none Is
more conspicuous and unnecessary than our an
nual Losses BY fire, and from estimate OF the
property damage for the first five months OF
1915. IL looks as IL the insurance companies are
in for an unusually hard year
The total fire loss to the end OF May was over
s133.500 900. This sum is nearly s30.0oo,oOo
greater than the total for the same months Of
the preceding year. In May OF this year there
were eight fires which cost their respective com
munities more than $3.50 900 each.
Except in the case Of earthquake or lightning,
fires are due to some condition Of human inef'
fciency.
But II is our national habit 10 sympathize with
losers by FIRE, no matter what the cause. Only
in cases of loss of life do we ever attempt 70 i'm
press property owners with sense Of their
personal responsibility for disaster.
The European way seems hard to Americans
but it has its points.
IL the owners or occupants Of property in this
country on which fire occurred were looked
upon as a menace TO public welfare and held
accountable TO the community, fire statistics
could shortly be registered in much smaller fig
ures than those for the first half Of this year.

ART FOR ARTS SAKE.
BY H.. ADDNeToN BRUCE


Art for arts sake is a term We
often hear II is term which
should have a noble, lofty meaning
But as commonly employed it has
degenerated into a handy catch.
phrase for the defense OF incompe.
tency and mediocrity.
When a painter, sculptor, author
or musical composer does not get
recognition, he is all too likely to
assert that he Is ignored because
he has refused 20 lower his artistic
standards to the public taste"
II is not his business. he will say
to "truckle 10 the unintelligent pub
lie" He has been true 70 his art
and the public have been too stupid
| 10 appreciate him.
This is all very pretty. II Ger

Yet. on the other hand. complete.

For. after all. what is the pur.

tends only to dabble foolishly with eX-
ternals.
He is gaining nothing and is losing his
sense of fairness and his natural love
for his fellow man, for he will have to
admit that his employer is his fellow
man.
1t is the same thing as settling moral
issues by war.
In the end nothing is settled The OPP
posing parties only stop when exhausted
and patch up truce
Many an employer in these days we
believe to be earnestly seeking way
out of this labyrinth of economic condl-
tions.
But he knows, as would anyone else,
that it is not to be so simply solved as
by five cents more or less on an hour s
work
This is child's play.
There is something at the root Of this
matter which must be discovered. A
solution so big and impersonal that no
bitterness will rankle in the heart Of
any one.
Many think it is the single tax.
But whatever it is, let the workingman
keep himself open minded, true and
worthy so that when the change for the
betterment of the whole people comes
about, he will still be a man and not an
embittered, unjust bigot.
