There was stubborn fire on the
west bluff at Devils Lake on Monday
night that required several hours Of
hard work to subdue. The blaze was
discovered by Jack Lord and he, with
Park Superintendent Atwood Smith,
L. D. Prader, w. E. Rowland, H. E.
French and others who happened to
be at the lake, worked most Of the
night before the fire was entirely
beaten out. 1t is uncertain how the
blaze started, but it is thought that
some persons had tried to smoke
some animal out of a hole and failed
to extinguish the embers. The trees
and covering on the bluffs are so dry
from lack of rain that fire once well
started would be hard to stop, espe-
cially if it got going among the pine
needles between the crevices in the
rocks.

The ridiculous provisions of the law
which weighed down the Republican
party with the candidacy of Lieuten-

wanted to quit the ticket and every

be repealed.
The form Of ballot should be
changed to meet the needs Of the cleo

Of theorists In government.
The fact that the voters are able
to make their will known does not
meet the requirements Of the case. 1t

Mlchigan's Satisfactory Decision.

Michlgan's voters recorded a sane
and wise decision in their selection
Of United States Senator.
They chose TRUMAN II. NEwBERRY,
now a Lieutenant Commander in the
navy, to represent their State In the
smaller chamber at the national capt.
tai. They will not regret their act.
Mr.. NEwBERRY's experience as an ex-
ecutive officer of the Government and
as a member Of the naval forces has
equipped him with technical knowl-
edge that will be of the highest value
to the country In the legislative de-
partment. Naval and merchant ma
rine problems of supreme Importance
must be solved in the period of his
first term In the Senate. To their
solution Mr.. NEwBERRY will bring a
thorough knowledge of the country's
needs, and disinterested, patriotic un-
Outstanding of its necessities.
The character Of the man who will
succeed WILLIAM ALDEN SMITH has
been well displayed in the campaign
that preceded the balloting on Tues
day. From the beginning OF the pri-
mary contest Mr.. NEwBERRY put his
duty as an officer Of the naval forces
ahead OF his personal and political in
terests. He .remained at his task,
doing his part for American victory
in the war, without regard to the
progress of the struggle In Michigan.
Seldom has there been more graft
flying exhibition of devotion to a high
ideal Of citizenship than that which
Mr.. NEwBERRY has given to his fel-
low citizens.
The electors OF Michigan have re-
sponded intelligently and convinc-
ingly to the effort to reduce them to
The status of puppets in public af-
fairs. The attempt to impose on
them Senator hand picked in Wash

ington has been frustrated. The as
sumption Of subserviency on which
project Of cunning politics wearing
unworthlly the garb of service to the
state was erected has been exposed as
unfounded. All American institutions
are more firmly established all over
the United States to-day because Of
the outcome Of the contest In the
State Of Michigan.
Mr.. FORD has been, elected to stay
at home and devote his energy to the
useful and interesting work from
which his worldwide fame has arisen.
The outcome of the balloting should
not dishearten him; he would not
have made good Senator, and In
Washington he might have impaired
the reputation he now enjoys
The sun., 1918-11-07

One of the odd twists of the cleo
ton, as 1t turned out, was the very
great help Mr., AL SMITH proved to
be to President WILSON and the very
heavy load President WILSON was
to Mr.. Al SMITH.
Mr.. SMITH's friends left no stone
unturned to get for him Endorsements
from President WILSON, the Cabinet
and others high in the Washington
Government, on the theory, Of course,
that this would help to take Off the
Tammany curse. On election day,
however, Mr.. WILSON and his Ad-
ministration were fatal liability to
Democratic tickets In the country
generally, and almost, II not quite, a
fatal liability to the Democratic State
ticket here. Mr.. SMIrH's marvellous
personal run in Greater New York
and in other cities of the State, on
the other hand, unquestionably saved
to Mr.. WILSON some districts which
otherwise would have been swept
from the President In New York as
happened elsewhere north Of. Mason
and Dixon's line.
Indeed, 1t seems only fair to say
that II 1t had not been for Mr.. Smith
President WILSON'S defeat in the
Congress districts, shocking as 1t was
to the faithful Democrats, would
have been stupefylng.

Gratitude Due to Senator Lewis Of
Illinois.

The Hon. JAMES HAMILTON LEwIs's
resolution expressing in advance the
United States Senate's unqualified
APPROVAL Of anything the Executive
might do In the matter Of war meas
ures or peace negotiations will Prob
ably never leave the committee pigeon
hole which 1t now inhabits. After
the fourth of next March the Hon.
JIM HAM will not be in a position to
call 1t forth for further Senatorial
consideration.
Yet when Senator LEWIS carries
into pale gray retirement the glory
of his whiskers and raiment and the
quick IL unconventional intelligence
of his amazing intellectuals, he can
depart for other scenes with the con-
seriousness that the republic Is under
lasting obligations to him. He will
so, but he will not be forgotten.
For this same celebrated resolution
of abject confidence and unconditional
legislative surrender, introduced In
the Senate by the Hon. JAMES HAMIL-
TON LEWIS about two months ago, will
always be of historical Importance. 1t
was the bugle call of the campaign
for Executive autocracy. 1t was the
forerunner Of President WILSON'S
own demand for unrestricted Execu-
tive mastery--the appeal which got
its answer from the country on Tues
day. II helped, and 1t helped greatly,
to enable the American people to un-
derstand exactly what Mr.. WILSON'S
invitation signified.
Therefore the Administration s
mouthpiece in the Senate deserves
well Of his fellow countrymen for this
phenomenal service of Interpretation.
And ON other accounts he will be
missed in Washington.

THE DUST THAT HARMS.
That Blown From Streets Rather
Than That Of the Air.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: II
Is a matter for congratulation that the
health authorities are taking notice OF
the dust content OF the air. Experience
has taught that the number OF dust par
ticles in the air Is OF less Importance
than the character moreover. I am OF
the opinion that the flying dust moved
by wind. and remaining suspended
for few minutes to an hour. Is more
Of n menace to health than the floating
dust which remains in the air until
brought to the earth by means other
than its own gravity.
Disregardins the dust particles that
cannot be dscerned by a one-sixth inch
objective-and they form the greater
proportion--the flying dust particles in
ordinary weather are often In excess of
5000 per cubic inch. During very dusty
days the proportion may be ten times as
great
Much OF this Is picked up from the
streets. 1t lodges in the hair. in the
clothing and on exposed foodstuffs
Among other details OF its content are
horse dung. garbage, leaf dust in sea-
son. the eggs of insects. the fragments
OF fly anatomy. and bacteria from ex-
crementitious matter. Fine dust will
penetrate crevices through which the
wind will not drive water. Human feet
are constantly tracking II from the side
walks to the dwelling rooms; indeed
most OF the dust carried from the out
side TO the inside OF dwellings Is tracked
into them.
Now. during moist weather. all the
wind blown matter Of organic character
is in a putrescent condition: indeed, II
may become pretty good culture
medium. Whether or not It is a means
Of the actual spread Of disease is hardly
a proper matter for the opinion OF a
layman. That It may spread disease,
however, Is beyond question. During
the past two weeks the air has been
unusually full of dust that has remained
suspended for a long time. A dust
counter was not necessary to determine
the fact; the very dirty horizon fur
nished all the evidence.
In New York city the authorities keep
the streets pretty clean. and the same
10 true OF Mount Vernon. But in each
city the sidewalks and not the streets
are the chief source OF the dust tracked
into the houses. Sweeping the sidewalks
merely transfers the dust from one part
TO another; washing the walks when
the streets are hosed carries most OF II
into the sewers. Now II may be that
the putrefying organic matter Of street
dust Is not harmful certainly the abb
renee OF II will not communicate disease.
The superintendent OF the Marine
Hospital at Washington once said that
the cold wave was the greatest natural
resource Of the continent. think he is
right; and my experience in the ex-
animation Of the dust content OF the
air has convinced me that the northwest
wind which brings II is the greatest
, scavenger in existence.

GERMAN TOYS.
A Dealer Warns the Public to Be on
Guard.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuH-Str: We
have seen your articles on tho German
toys that recently arrived in New York.
and also many other reports of this lot
OF toys, and while we highly commend
the Butler Brothers' disposition OF their
goods. II might be q good Idea TO In
vestigate where the larger part Of this
shipment went. for we will venture to
say that the Butler Brothers part Of
the lot Is only a part Of the goods that
arrived In New York.
Most OF these goods were consigned
to two or three commission houses In
New York city. from whom we dealers
purchase all such goods. We have had
orders with these two or three houses
ever since before the war started, as
have nearly all dealers all over the
country.
We cancelled all such orders some
time ago and advised such houses that
under no circumstances would we accept
these or any other German goods, and
we presume that this same action was
taken by most. II not all. toy dealers.
Even after these orders were cancelled
we were again asked II we did not want
TO take them at before the war prices"
but replied that we would not take any
thing made in Germany" at any price
or even as a gift
We also know as matter OF fact
that this has been the universal action
Of the dealers; but while this IL COM
mendable, we feel sure that further ac-
tlon Is necessary. and that IL that the
dealers should not only refuse to accept
or take any OF these German goods but
they should refuse to purchase any goods
at all Of such houses as handle the
cussed German goods
There are a good big lot Of such goods
there In New York to be disposed OF
somehow or other. and where are they
going? Onto the market, into the water
or up in smoke?
We have seen a salesman from one OF
these two or three houses In the last
week who told US that he would give up
his Job and resign II his house asked
him 10 CELL any Of thees goods. Strange
to say, all of the two or three import
houses have German names or so-called
German American. A Tor DEALER
