THE recent widespread celebration Of Fire Preven-
ton Day October 9TH Throughout the United States
gives point TO the query to whether fire prevention
is really making good in actual results.
Here is part Of the answer which cannot fail to
be interesting to wimingtonans.
New York city in 1915 had 1.O10 fewer fires than
in 1914, ana its aggregate losses showed decrease
Of S2460793 from those Of 1914. It's per capita loss
S1O6. OF sS2 less than was known before; its
loss per fire s14O5s less than the lowest previous
record These results generally attributed to

Public Ownership OF Railroads
lFrom Deseret News. san Lake City.l

A great deal is being sad these days
about public ownership and control
Of the railways. and it indicates a
healthy awakening of the public con
science which will inevitably lead T.
a better understanding by the people
and the transportation companies as to
their respective obligations and rela.
tionshir towards each other The
truth is that there is public owner
ship OF the railroads now-not politi-
cal ownership, of course, which is a
very different and a dangerous thing
but real ownership by the people
and real partnership in the enter
prise Of transportation This fact is
not understood as we'll as Il should
be. but il is being brought home to
the people day by day. Most impress
sively has It been shown by some Of
the developments Of the last few
months. Since the railroads refused
to surrender the principle of arbitra-
tion in the recent controversy. they
have found their course so widely
commended that they are more than
ever convinced of the wisdom of go
ing directly to the people and con-
iiding in them upon any vital ques
tion that may arise. Their urging
upon Congress a thorough inquiry
into the whole problem Of railroad
regulation was another evidence OF
the Dolicy OF frank dealing with the
public. The immediate result OF
this request is the investigation Of
the subject by a joint committee from
the Senate ani House committees on
interstate commerce. whose discover
les and recommendations II sanction
ed will supersede and render super
fluous the activities OF the half-hun-
dred state commissions which cannot
help but &c working with more or
less selfish objects and at cross-pur-

VxTORD comes from the Mexican border that the
w soldiers there have been instructed to make
requiston for their winter clothing and that stables
TO be built In other words. the army is booked
10 remain throughout the Winter This will be sad
news to the families Of many OF these who have
to depend upon them for support.
It is said that the War Department is flooded daily
with frantic appeals from these families to permit the
men to come home. A hard Winter is drawing nigh
and the cost Of living has risen to height which
threatens their wives and children with absolute desti
tuition.
AS political sop a bill put through Congress
last session providing appropriation to nav
meager sum to these families while their providers
were away. but the whole amount appropriated would
not keep each family than a week. and the red
tape necessary to get it has discouraged the en-
deavor.
The argument contained in most OF these appeals
for the return Of their husbands and brothers is that
II there is likelihood of war of which the admnis
traton has assured them. then there no good rea-
why the National Guard should be retained along

The extraordinary conditions now
prevailing the labor and materia'
markets are responsible for makinr
unusually interesting the bids recent
~ submitted to the Government on
four battleships and 90 torpedo boatg.
All OF the bids on battleships were
conditional. as were also a number of
those on destroyers. The b'ds were
also of unusual interest on account Of
the recognition of :he Federal Trade
Commission as an important factor
of much Importance in carrying out
the contracts.
Proposal A of the Fore River Ship
Building Corporation is an example
Of the unique provisions Of a number
OF the bids II is based on the as
sumption OF the government of the
risk Of increased costs of labor and
material and under it the company
proposes to construct one OF the bat
tleships Of Glass for S10,360,O00,
or two for $10O60,000 each. This
amount is based on current rates for
labor and material, and the company
states that upon request 1t will sub
init the information which it has in
detail to the Navy Department and
to the Federal Trade Commission If
the current unit costs OF labor and
material remain unchanged, there
will be no change in the price of the
battleships, but il these costs are eX-
ceeded. the contract price for the
vessels are to be increased accord
ingly. IT, on the other hand, the costs
decrease, il is proposed that the Gov
ernment shah have the benefit Of the
reduction and that the contract price
. of the vessel shall be reduced to a
corresponding extent. The Federal
Trade Commission is explicitly recog-
nized as the department of the gov
ernment organized TO deal with all
questions pertaining to commerd al
operations and costs and it is propos-
ed that the commission shall adjudi-
cate the increase or decreases and
determine the increased or decreased
cost of material and labor annually.
If the government should so desire. it
will be informed in advance, before
signing the contract, precisely how
the company arrives at its estimated
costs and as to the amount of prof {
IL expects to earn. "The conditions
today in the ship-building business
are unique" says the company. "In
the entire individual history of this
country. il has never before been so
difficult to forecast the probable cost
of labor and material over a period
OF years The company states that

AS astonishing as the new group

in the electorate The Democrats fail
ed to capture the labor vote and the
Republicans failed to hold the farmer
vote. The much-abused hyphen cut
both ways and religious prejudice al
SO proved to be a two-edged sword.
The German voters in Wisconsin went
for Hughes and their brethren in
Ohio went for Wilson. There was
Democratic detection in the cites and
Republican detection in the country.
The heads OF certain universities and
the larger labor unions went one
way, but both failed to deliver the
rank and file in their respective zones
of influence. Mr.. Wilson enjoyed the
support of the largest New York
newspapers and yet he suffered
some of his severest losses among
their clientele. The counting Of bal
lots is everywhere unusually slow be-
cause the number of scratched bal
lots is unprecedentedly large. The
straight ticket and the strict party
vote are on the decline all over the
