Des Moines, Feb. Sin his annual
report to the governor, filed today, Ole
o. Roe, state fire marshal. recommends
the enactment of a gasolene storage
law or law making it mandatory
upon municipalities to make provision
by ordinance for such storage. The re-
port covers the year 1915. Among
other important recommendations made
by the state fire marshal are the fol-
lowing:
Provision for inspection, both state
and local, of electric wiring. This is
made necessary by reason Of the con-
stantly Increasing number of fires re-
sulting from defective electric wiring.
Standardization Of chimneys. flues
and roofs in cities and towns.
A law regulating moving picture
shows, specifying the construction Of
the booth. number of exits, width of
aisles, seating, etc.
Provision for the inspection Of gas
olene and carbide lighting systems.
Inasmuch as fully 80 per cent of the
firse alarms in all cities and towns are
given by telephone, there is need of a
sibilities of telephone companies and
operators in the matter of receiving
and promptly turning in fire alarms.
Wants Elastic Punishment.
The state fire marshal declares fur
Their that the laws of Iowa relating to
the punishment of arson and other
criminal burning should be carefully
revised and the punishments provided
90 % To a
fit the crime or degree of crime than
they do at the present time.
"Juries not infrequently fail to con-
vict of the crime of arson or of setting
fire to injure the insured, not because
there is any real doubt in their minds
as to the guilt Of the defendant but
because if found guilty of the crime as
charged he might be sentenced to the
penitentiary for long term Of years,
and this some Jurors undertake to pre-
vent by letting the guilty escape alto
gether," says the report.
1T should always be borne in mind
in the enforcement OF all criminaI
statutes that It Is not the severity of
the sentence or punishment but tho
reasonable certainty Of discovery and
conviction that deter many an evil dis
posed fellow from committing crime.
We can not, however, deny that in
many localities in our country there
exists condition Of helpless law en-
forcement. We do not punish, we d.
not corrective only fume and fret
and ask for more law.
Law Is not self enforcing. There
must be a radical change In public sem
timent touching all Kinds OF law en-
forcement. Until there is America will
continue to stand first among civilized
nations in unpublished crime"
The report shows that the number
Of fires reported in 1915 was 4s6 less
than in 1914 but the total fire loss dur
ing 1915 exceeded that Of 1914 by $147,-
929. The fire loss of 1915 was less by
S2S5.731 than that OF 1913. The aver
age daily fire loss OF the year amounted
to $16,457. and the average loss in each
fire was $1,576.

Rome, Sept. 10, 1916.
Giovanni della Chiesa, Admiral of
the Italian Fleet, brother of Pope
Benedict Nv, is on a visit of "villeg-
giatura means getting away
from town into the country as a rule
in the summer heat-to Soriano mel
Cimino, where. discovered by repre-
sentative of the "Giornale d'Italia,'
the marquis said few words of him
self, of his son, Sub-lieutenant Giusep-
pc, and of his brother Giacomo, Bene-
dict XIV. He is on his summer holi-
day, his son is serving in the Italian
army away up beyond the northern
frontier, and the Pope, to judge by
what his brother tells us, must spend
almost all the day answering letters.
One knew something of the laborious
nature of the daily life of the Pontiff,
and one had heard a good deal Of
Pope Benedict XV's insistence OH per-
sonally seeing to everything that was
possible himself-of himself writing,
for instance. those eloquent addresses
which he gives to associations and
other bodies received in audience so
often on Sunday mornings. those de-
livered after the reading of the de-
crees on the Ven. Cottolengo and the
Ven. Giovanni Battista di Bologna, and
many Others And one knew of his
personal interest in the enquiries and
sad stories concerning prisoners that
come in their thousands before the
special Office at the Secretariate Of
State created to enquire into them
and successful in so many cases in
bringing relief. One knew that many
letters were addressed to the Pope
himself and that His Holiness read
them and gave instructions for dealing
with them. The Marquis Giovanni
draws a picture which gives even a
stronger realization of the method,
care and labor of the Popes dealing
with his correspondence.

Death Stills Keen
Mind and Hand
J. j. FINNEGAN, MAGAZINE AND
NEWSPAPER WRITER, sUc-
CUMsS TO ovERWoRk.

A brilliant journalistic career was
brought to a close by the death, in
Denver last week, of John ]. Finne-
gan, late of the New York Times.
Born in Lawrence, Mass, Sept. IA,
1884, he very early made his mark
in journalism. He contributed extern
sively to Harper's Weekly, and was
on the staff of the New York Ameri-
can, New York Tribune and latterly
the New York Times, for which paper
he very ably covered the famous Law
renee strike in his home town.
When Home Rule doomed large on
the Irish political horizon, and the
staid old Tories of the north took to
gun running as q means to preserve
the special privileges they enjoyed
under the crown, he was sent to Bel
fast, as special correspondent by
Harper's Weekly, and in series of
brilliant articles showed the underly-
ing selfishness of the minority rulers
of that fair isle. During his sojourn
there he became intimately acquaint-
ed with many of the brilliant intel
lects, whose loss in the recent re-
bellion all Ireland mourns.
He was very devout Catholic, a
member of the knights of Columbus
Of New York City. His body was
taken back to Lawrence, Mass, to be
inferred beside that of his mother
and younger brother. He leaves to
mourn his loss a wife, father and
four sisters
A general breakdown from over
work was the cause of his demise
A host of friends will be saddened by
the thought
A hand that once, with a keen pen,
Fought valiantly for God and men,
Is now stilled.

''0utlook" Has No Sympathy
For the Church Defamers
THOUGH ITS VIEWS DIFFER FROM
THOSE OF CATHOLICS, YET lrl
CAN APPRECIATE SERVICES
RENDERED - AUTHORITY mol
DANGER.

In commenting on the great gather
ing in New York of the Catholic Fed
Grafton, the Outlook" of that city
says:
I'VE take this occasion to express
our appreciation of the service which
that Church is rendering to the peo-
pie OF this country, and our indigna-
ton at the scurrilous, wholesale, and
malignant attacks leveled against it in
certain quarters by INSCRIPTIONS par
tisan opponents. We accept neither
the authority nor the theology of the
Roman Catholic Church, but this does
not prevent our honoring those who
do accept that authority and that the
ology, and who are using them as in
struments to develop the higher and
better life of the American people.
1.-The spirit of faith, hope, and char
ity is in all American churches-Ro-
man Catholic and Protestant, Jewish
and Christian. But in them all it is
found, to use Pauls figure, in earth
en- vessels He who can see only the
earthiness Of the vessel, and cannot
discern the spirit of reverence and ser.
vice within, shows himself blind to
the great spiritual realities, and this
whether his attack is leveled against
the Roman Catholic Church, the Prot
estant churches, or the Jewish syna-
gogues. #
THE danger to this country is not
from too much subservience to au-
thority. but from too little regard for
it; its peril is anarchy, not despotism.
The methods which the Roman Catho-
lie Church are using are not those
which we should choose; but he is
singularly Indifferent to the facts of
life who fails to see that the Roman
Catholic Church through it's varied
ministries is exercising an influence
for temperance, thrift, self-sacrificing
service, and devout reverence-foun-
dation virtues on which the perpetuity
of the republic depends-and is exer-
cising this influence upon large pro,
portion of the population who are
reached by moral and inspirational
teachings very slightly, if at all. from
any other quarter"

rather is, perhaps the best informed
person in the world just now. And
that is why Pope Benedict XIV. at
tends personally to the opening and
distribution of all the letters in the
big package delivered to him three
times day at the Vatican. Scissors
lie handy on his writing table, and
there are seven huge leather envel-
opes into which the correspondence is
sorted; the specially urgent ones,
those asking for aims which have to
go to the Pontifical almoner, ETC.
Apropos of letters asking for little
help from His Holiness, the Marquis
tells how he forwarded to his brother
request for help put before him by
a peasant woman in the Sabine Hills
and, returning to Rome three days
afterwards, was handed by the Pope
the letter of reply lying ready for
posting. And another little story:
His Holiness wrote to his nephew ad-
dressing the letter "Signor Giuseppe
della Chiesa, Sub-lieutenant of Artil.
lery, Zone of War The letter went
to every part of the front but as the
addressee was not to be found it was
opened and returned to the sender.
The process took six months.
OF the Holy Father in relation to
the Vatican policy on the war or any
other point the marquis would not
speak, save to say how his heart was
torn by the sufferings of his children
and how he longed for peace.
