Today We Celebrate

Greatest Forest Fires.

spread from Miramichi to the Bay OF
Chaleur and left In its charred and
blackened path a devastation hat COW
cred between 5000 and 5000 square
miles. Canada has been visited by
many forest fires, but none worse than
this since II not only destroyed vast
areas of valuable timber. but took q
toll of 100 human lives. and wiped out
a number Of thriving towns. villages
and rural communities. The confia-
grafton stopped only when II reached
the bay. where Il burned to the
waters edge and destroyed much ship
ping.
With the great Loyaiist invasion OF
New Brunswick many industries were
developed. and not the least of these
numbering. Hundreds of settlers
attacked the virgin forests along the
Miramichi river. Az clearings were
made. and those engaged In the In
dustry gained the money to establish
homes. towns and villages sprang up.

CONGRESSMAN SCULLY ACTS

Congressman Scuny. ever ON the lookout for ways and means
to serve his constituents, has promptly introduced in congress a reso-
luton calling for a N investigation of the causes of the explosion at
the T. A. Gillespie shell loading plant at Morgan. Mr.. Scully has
anticipated the action of the people of this vicinity. He has done
without asking Just what they ere going to request him to do.
In fact, not knowing that Mr.. sculy had already taken the STEP
the Perth Amboy Council of Defense, at a meeting last night, passed
resolutions along this very line, insisting that while this community
is ready to take any risk necessary in order to win the war, precau-
tons must be taken to safeguard the lives of women and children in
the neghborhood of these muntion plants
Risks there cannot help but be in times like these, and we ae all
willing to assume them, but if there is negligence and faulty con-
struction, an investigation is in order with the idea of placing the
} responsibility where it belongs At the M time, there must be
assurances from responsible partes-parties in whom the people of
this community will have conference.-the such a catastrophe cannot
happen again.
There is ample room at Morgan for the plant to double its land
area 50 IS to spread out the buildings, putting them farther apart.
There is reason to believe that they we're constructed entirely too
close together in the first place. Now that rebuilding is under way,
4 this fault should be remedied.
Perhaps it is necessary to erect a great muniion plant within
a metropolitan district having a population of nearly 100000 peo-
pie, due primarily to the excellent shipping facilities But even at
~rat, the question arises, why not select some location that is far more
remote from the country's greatest center of populationf
But grated that, all things considered, this immediate vicinity is
the best for the plant, the least that can be expected is that the high
explosives be kept in comparatively small quantities and those guam
titles widely separated so that if a part accidentally goes off, it will
not necessarily mean that all the remainder will be endangered. With
such vast areas of vacant land extending all the way from Morgan
into the great pine bslwf the southern part of the state, it ought to
be a n sasxsa intsd places for storing explosives in

Another Blow at the Kaiser.

Majority Leader Kitchin served no.
tice in the House last Saturday that be-
tween now and March &c Congress must
pass another bond bill, the issue to be
foated April 6. From the flagstaff of
the Treasury building floats the banner
of the third liberty loan-three blue
bars on a field of white, red bordered.
Thus all who run and read are ad-
monished that the time draws nigh
when again We must "come across
those who cannot go across.
That the country will respond wiki
ingly and effectively may be considered
as assured. Some persons in high
finance profess to entertain doubt of
the third fotation being as easily ac-
complished as the two others. Their
apprehension may be ascribed to the
timidity of capital and its proverbial
conservatism. 1t is safe to say that
their fears are not shared by the man
in the street-and it is the man in the
street who by giving of his small in
come, by sacrificing, straining and
economizing sets example to the hold
ers of large resources to subscribe.
Many of the purchasers of the second
issue of bonds are yet paying their in
stallments, but there will be no hang
ing back for the next subscription. They
will "take up another notch in their
belts" so to, speak, economize some
where else and take on another obliga-
tion.
In point of fact, can it be said that
there is any complaint of feeling the
burden of the two issues' In the great
bulk of instances saving accounts have
not been depleted, but the bonds have
been paid for out of current earnings-
a pay as you go plan. That is the tight
principle. It serves two purposes by
inducing to economy and making the
purchase of bonds part of the overhead
of monthly expenses.
So, Uncle Sam, come on with your
next issue; you will find the people
walking up to the captains desk" and
settling checrfuHy.

The Jail Delivery.

Xsstsfdays jail delivery, the first in
Nenty-seven years in this District, may
II attributed to overeonfdence on the
part Of the Jail authorities, owing to
Tie long period of immunity from es-

es*ed on Judiciary Square, prisoners
aade their way to liberty from it SO
eften that such happening was COM
&Aonplaee. But that old Jail was Asoft."
The present one is supposed to be one
o& the stoutest places of confinement in
<hs country. The men who escaped, it
appears, were not locked in their cells,
though the reason for the discrimina-
tian in their favor does not appear.
Somehow they managed to get hold Of q
aw. They contrived also to swarm up
- . point on top of the cells to a trap
door, through which they passed, after
psing the saw on the bolt. Then they
gue out on the roof through the attic,

Daylight Saving and the Clerks.

Daylight saving will be travesty for
the government clerks if the pending
proposal to add an hour to the working
day prevails. If the eight-hour amend
ment is finally adopted by the Senate
and becomes law the clerks will quit
work at exactly the same "time" as be-
fore, though it will be called $50. They
win have made no gain in daylight
hours. Of course, the matter can be
turned around and put this way, that
but for the daylight saving scheme they
!wonld leave their tasks actually an hour
later as far as the sun is concerned and
so have one less hour of daylight after
Office hours than under this clock
changing arrangement. During the five
months when the clocks are square with
the sun they will leave their desks when
fhe SKIES are darkening. Indeed, in mid
winter, on the Borland basis, during
The latter part of the working day they
Sill require artificial light. There will
not be much coal saving then so far as
the government is concerned, and that
win be the time of greatest need for
economy in fuel.
There is still hope that the Senate
win not agree to the proposal to add
nearly IA per cent to the clerks work
ing day while granting them q bonus
Of pay for the year amounting to about
10 per cent on the average. The in
Justice of this transaction is so ap-
parent that it should appeal to the up
Per house. The granting of compensa-
tion to the clerks for overtime, beyond
the eight-hour period, while just in itself
and to be expected, has no bearing
Hpon this impending inequity. The
ealy possible righteous adjustment, if
rhe eight-hour provision is insisted
Hpos. Is to make the compensation added
10 the elefkS pay equivalent at least to
NE additional time exaction.
As to the present ratio between
addsd time and added pay it must be
beEne in mind that while in the lowest
Slags the addition is 25 per cent of
yay, IN the highest range affected it
Anounts to only per cent. The eight
3eux provision applies to the $2,o0o=a-
gear man as well as the $3.50 employe.

ono kind or another to bear to secure
the granting Of their wishes.
Nevertheless, tho dividing line exists,
it was traced for an excellent purpose,
and as these are very unusual times,
when our institutions are undergoing
great strain, it should be respected.
Congress is beginning to assert itself.
There are three cases in point. The
war finance bill. which Mr.. Longworth
was discussing; the railroad measure,
which has just become law, and the
Overman bill, which is now the subject
of some pretty warm discussion in the
Senate judiciary committee, and may be
even more warmly discussed when it
reaches the full Senate, were all pre-
pared outside of Congress and intro
dhced by request. As prepared, they
represented executive wishes, and in
stantly upon their introduction execu-'
tive pressure was brought to bear in
their favor.
limit on government control of rail
roads after the war, the House has
made some radical changes in the war
finance measure, and the President will
not get the great broadening of power
which was asked by the original Over
man bill.
In all three cases Congress has acted,
or will act, within its rights. It is but
exercising the veto power. When Con-
gress of its own initiative passes
measure and sends it to the President,
he vetoes it if it does not meet with
his approval. When the President
makes a recommendation to Congress,
that body may accept, or modify, or re-
ject it, at its pleasure. And having so
great right, Congress should not fail
to exercise it in all cases where great
public interests are involved.
