Official Paper Of the City and the County
Issued on Friday of Each Week
All Are Asked to Boost Wilson Cam
paign Fund.

The Plain Dealer today opens its col
INNS for the receipt of contributions
to Woodrow Wilson'S campaign fund.
Under authorization by the Demo-
cratic National Committee, the Plain
Dealer will undertake to raise fund to
assist in meeting the expenses OF the
campaign. Contributions, large and
small, will be welcome, and will be ac-
knowledged in the columns OF this
newspaper. Each contributor also will
receive from Wilbur ". Marsh, Treas
urer of the National Committee, a
handsome Autographed receipt.
For the expenses of its national cam
paign the Democratic party is depend
ent entirely upon popular contributions.
The party does not expect and will
not take money for its campaign fund
from persons or corporations with
sinister purposes. 1t abhors the prac-
tice of catering to the vested interests,
and seeks its SUPP ort from the multi
tude.
Four years ago SO. s54 individual con-
tributions were received. The mana
gers of MIR. Wilson'S campaign want to
raise that figure to more than lOs,oW
this year.
It was the money of the people that
paid the expenses of electing Mr.. Will
son in 1912. 1t is the people who have
been served during the three and ahalt
years of his administration.
1t is your battle. Peace, prosperity,
Justice and honor! These are the bless
ings that Woodrow Wilson has won for
YOU; these are the blessings that are at
stake.
How greatly do you value them?
How much does faithful service mean
to YOU? The Plain Dealer gives you an
opportunity to answer. Send or bring
your contribution to this office. 1t will
be acknowledged promptly.

Meredith |, Fit.

One striking feature Of the guberna-
tional campaign is the general feeling
among voters, regardless Of party, that
E. T. Meredith is particularly we'll fit
ted to act as governor of Iowa.
Even the most ardent supporters OF
Mr.. Harding are not making the claim
that Mr.. Meredith's qualifications for
the office are not evident, or that Mr..
Meredith is not, through his business
experience, thoroughly fitted to admins
lister the affairs of the state.
Meredith is fit. He knows Iowa, and
he knows the needs of Iowa. His state
ment that, if elected, he will put BUSH
ness methods into effect in his hand
ling of public business is not mere
vote-catching declaration.
Meredith can deliver the goods. His
business experience is such as to make
him the man of all men to really put
efficiency in state government.
Iowa has had many candidates who
asked for support upon the statement
that they were for an economical anc
efficient administration of the states
affairs. But Iowa has never had
chance to elect man as governor WHIT
really is fitted. by his earlier training
to put the state house on a business
basis.
Meredith has not gained his training
in politics, or an office holder. His ex
perience has been gained as the execu
tive of q big business establishment
and he will carry the same method
which have made him success in bust
ness into his Office at the capitol.
Iowa can we'll afford to give q rea
business man an opportunity as COVER
nor.

A Proclamation.

There were $50 fires reported to the
State Fire Marshal for 1915,
than ten fires every day, causing a
daily loss of SIG, 457.OO, and involving
daily property worth $40, 1880. 1t
clearly appears that practically one
third of these fires were due to care
lessness. 1t is quite possible that
many more of them were. These, at
least, should be preventible. There
is no reason why large numbers of
fires should be occasioned by careless
handling of matches, candles, lamps,
oil, gasoline, by bonfires, by burning of
brush and leaves, by defective fues,
stove-pipes, wiring, by smokers, by
rags and clothing near stove-pipes, by
ashes and many other ways, destroy
ing the property of those negligent and
often that of others also. Such negli-
gence is a constant menace. The only
remedy is watchfulness, diligence and
to the end that as many of the millions
of dollars of annual fire loss may be
prevented as possible, do hereby an
nounce and proclaim Monday, Oct. 9th.
1916, Fire Prevention Day and request
that the newspapers of the State, not
only now. but also near said date call
the attention of the people for the pur.
pose, if possible, of inducing them to
carefully examine their buildings and
surroundings to the end that fire haz-
ards may be reduced to the minimum.
Request is made also that mayors of
towns and cities throughout the State
take up the question Of protection from
fires and of a careful examination into
the sufficiency of water supply and
pressure and apparatus for extinguish-
ing fires and see to it that everything
is in constant readiness for instant use.
In no other way can the enormous fire
loss be reduced.
Iu Testimony Whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused to be af-
fixed an impression of the Great Seal
of the State of Iowa, this 9Th day of
September A. D. 1916.

Think Asain Mr.. Johnsea.

Mr.. jackson johnson, St. Louis man
ufacturer, while admitting that rail-
road strike would have cost his COM
pany 500, 600 month, asserts that he
has been unable to get anyone to ex-
plain to his satisfaction how President
Wilson's course was right. Very we'll.
If Mr.. Johnson's factory should catch
fire would he have the fire department
stand around and argue how the build
ing laws should be revised or would he
have them start Immediately to extin.
guish the blaze?
If surgeon is called upon to per-
form an operation to save mans life,
would he have him frstprepare thesis
on the wrong mode Of living which
made the operation necessary, or should
he go ahead at once and operate?
If, to save city from destruction by
flood, it became necessary to cut dixie
and submerge farmers wheat fold,
would it not be better to do that than
areue over future methods of flood con.
troll?
In the emergency the President and
Congress obeyed the old Roman max
im-ssPublic welfare is the supreme
law" A prolonged railroad strike
vould have cost the people of the
limited States hundreds Of millions and
inestimable suffering which no future
could have squared The

vented all that loss and misery and has
done no injustice for which future laws
cannot provide compensation. st.

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. August 4.-The cotton
market was very active early today A
big advance in Liverpool and prospects
for further showers or rains in several
sections Of the eastern belt encouraged a
renewal of general buying and prices
made new high records for most deliver
les at the opening with December selling
up to 1927 and January to 1929, and
with the general list starting at a net ad-
vance of II to II points. Realizing was
very heavy, however. and fluctuations
after the call were irregular. with De-
cember easing off to 1415 and January to
14.24. then working back to within five
or six points Of the initial figures. Pri-
vate cables attributed the advance there
to the continued dry weather in the
southwest and continental buying.
Futures opened steady; October. 400;
December, 1427: January. 1923; March.
1442; May, 1859.
The market turned easier during the
middle of the morning owing to clos
ing reaction of Liverpool and the west
ern belt forecast for partly cloudy
weather in Texas and unsettled condi-
tions in Oklahoma. There was selling
for a reaction as well as realizing on
the setback, which carried December
contracts off to 14.o9 and January TO
l415 toward midday, or back TO about
last nights closing figures. The detailed
weather report for the Oklahoma dis
trict showing maximum temperatures
of LOO to Ill degrees checked the sell
ing movement, however, and there were
rallies of 5 or points early in the noon
hour
