FIRE TOLLS.

In spite of the conditions that exist in New York and the consequent realization of the danger that is known to threaten humanity in case of fire, the country is frequently appalled, by the loss of life that occurs under conditions which prop. CT protective measures would greatly re- duce if not entirely overcome.
 Following closely upon the trampling to death of a number of children in a moving picture house, where it would seem that 8 certain amount of blame could be attributed to the lack of en- forcement of the laws governing such amusement places, there comes the story of the loss of nine lives in an apartment house fire in the same city. The fire starting in the hallway shut off the es- cape of the tenants on the upper floors and they were forced to resort entirely to the fire escapes. For most of the apartments these were sufficient to per. init the people to get to the ground un. harmed, but those on the top floor were trapped like rats in a cage because ths fire escares were so placed that they would have had to run gauntlet of fire second only to that on the inside stair waJ.
 When safety is being sought 1t canno fail to be realized that quite as much consideration must be given to the plac ing of fire escapes as to the prevention oi fires. If they are erected at the mos
 | azardous point on the building they ar likely 10 prove as uienacing to resident
 as no outside ladders at all. Hallway
 a re points to which tenants are likel {" run but they are also the very point 1 in buildings where once the flames ge a headway they quickly make headwa rom the drafts.
 So far as known the caues of the fir it. a mystery. It is not improbable tha | il could have been easily prevented, bu | uiere are reasons to believe that when c ,rnes to restoring the portions of tn b lrned building, or reconstructing tn i apartment house the lesson that has bee
 tnught by the large death list will 1 gwen careful attention. For the pre-
 vention of fire and blocking the effects C

In some states to have the counting of the ballots deferred to the day following election The people are not disposed to wait that long for results. They want to know the outcome insofar as is pos sible and they cannot fail to recognize the fact that such is possible within a comparatively short tire after the polls have closed by the use of voting ma chimes.
 What is the use of going back to OK cart methods in these days of motor ve- hicies? That is what is intended by the plan of deferring tho counting of the
 votes until the day after election, when machines would meet the situation, meet
 1t accurately and do away with the pos sibility of bunch of the ballots being thrown down a sewer so as not to figure in the result.

DEALING WITH CRIMINALS.

In connection with the wave of crime that has been experienced throughout the country there cannot fail to be due attention given to the roundup which has taken place In Chicago at the instiga- ton of the new chief of police Spread ing the dragnet and gathering in a thousand of alleged criminals is no slight tack. ret it appeared to have been ac- romplished with no great difficulty by the police of the Illinois metropolis Just what the meaning of the raid is may be best disclosed in the future It is proba- hle that it is intended to show up the iaxity with which the police department of the city was carried on under the de. pos-d ehief. It is possible that it is the result of the prodding that has been received regarding the crime conditions in that as well as in ether cities. it may te that t is an effort t. show that a new broom sweeps clean while there is a DOS Eibility that it IS undertaken in all seri. 'usneSs and means a more active opposi ion to crime in the big city.
 Whatever 1t Is, and it will be revealed by the activity that is displayed in tn, period to come after the shaken-up DO Ice force has had a chance to work into old ruts, it is certainly evident that there Is need of giving greater attention 10 the things which are shown by tn, raid 10 have been previously wlnked at Whether this Is so or not elsewher should not be judged possibly by Chi rago- Conditions may vary in differen cities but the increase in crime is by n means confined to that city and it is req sonbaie to infer that lzxity in the ell forcement of ;he laws has much to q with it
 When it is proclaimed in New Tor that there are 1so.ooo gangsters in tha rity there can be little wonder that ther is % much crime and that so many o those responsible for t go un1etecte and therefore unpunished. The existenc of 70 much crime Of all kinds calls fo greater efhciency in dealing with sue conditions and Chicago by it's actio shovs that largo pat of the respons hiiity rests up1n those charged with tf enforcement of the laws

real naughtiness must be always dealt
 with positively on the spot by an appro- priate consequence. But child should
 never go to sleep without the forgive
 ness and sympathy of the person who
 has been compelled to infict the pun
 ishnent. Comfort and love should go with him into the land of dreams. Often we can afford to let the correction of lit-
 tie perversenesses and mischief wait over for the morning.
 One little tired cranky child refused to put his toys away. The wise mother said, Mother will do it tonight and we will talk it all over in the morning.. After breakfast the heart heart talk camef and he was in control of himself then and could reason clearly. The con- clusion reached was shown in her final sentence: Tonight you will put your toys 1 away because you must take care of | your own property. Mother has the whole house and you and Daily to look after D | With his mind firmly made up and 1 strongly set during the day, there was no | further trouble about the responsibility l for clearing away the toys.
 | Few children express in words what | they feel about the goodnight caress, but
 one mother was rewarded one morning by a voice beside her bed saying, Moth CT, I just always have to hug you first | in the morning, cause you always hug me last at night
 The influence of that hour may last 1 through adolescence and youth. One grown up son away at college wrote te his mother, Do you remember how after /, had been naughty was always sorry but l could not say a word until I had l pumped down into your lap before go ing to bed and bored my head into youl neck? l would be pretty big lapfu now but I wish I could try it. It was
 not even the same after I got big ane | sat on your bed telling you about partiei and things"
 It is at the sleepy hour that intimat, little condolences are given and quain' | ideas expressed that lie too deep to b,
 said in the midst of the happenings o
 the day. The mother who pauses |,
 lend sympathetic ear to little folks and growing up folks-will gain and kee an intimacy and understanding compan
 ionship that will prove a safeguard an happy memory.

GETTING THE YOUNGSTERS INTER
 ESTED.


 By those who recognize the importance of making the best possible develop nent of our New England farms and get ting the most out of them there cannot fan to be a deep interest taken in the plan that Is being carried out in Hamp- den county. Mass. for bettering the cat lie and sheep raising industry in that To- cality
 The necessity of getting the boys in closer touch with farm affairs by act uaily giving them something of their own for the stimulation of their interest has been repeatedly set forth, and it does not make any difference whether it is garden. calf. a lamb or colt of their own. there is always greater pride displayed as the result of such ownership and along herewith there is developed a better insight into things connected with the farm. There is need of getting out of some of the beaten paths and to broaden the farming knowledge of the younger generation that better results may be secured through elimination of wastes and making most of opnof.uni- ties. and nothing is better calcuIatc1 to overcome many farm deficiencies or 10 reveal the possibilities of that industry than by srousing the proper Interest among the boys and girls.
 For distribution this wesx among those who have entered the coatest there has been received a carload of Hereford steers and at another point on another day 55 grade ewes will be distributed for use in the father-son sheep clubs. The Idea in both instances IS to arouse a greater interest in the utilization of the available farmland fo~ the raising of beef cattle and sheep. that Iocal mar kets may be supplied. that greater re- turns may be secured from the farmland of that section and that Increased eri. phasis may be placed upon :he posgibili ties that lie in farming wien proper ad vantage Is taken of it.
 There are many other sections cf New England that might devo:o attention ic similar efforts with good results. There is need Of getting back to the farms and perhaps one of the best meas oi accom- plishins t is 10 demonstrate ths attrac lions in that direction. Each sectior has Ice particular advantages which need exploiting. and the youngsters are th' ones to be taught to be the farmers of tomorrow

WATCHING EACH OTHER.

That clear sailing is not being encoun-
 tered by the bolsheviki and the Poles
 in their negotiations for a treaty of peace
 is indicated by the report to the effect
 that the soviets have broken off the ne-
 gotiations. The excuse given for this is that the Poles are not keeping their
 agreement, but whether this is the case
 or whether it is, as has been feared by
 Poland, the first step taken to bring about the resumption of open hostilities in the spring, now that the army of General Wrangel has been disposed of, remains to be seen.
 The activities of the irregular Polish force is of course serving to embarrass
 Poland at the present time, but Poland is likewise conscious of the opening be- fore the bolsheviki. They are moving against the Ukrainians with indicated l success and there cannot fail to be rec ognized by the Poles that there is little | now to prevent them from concentrating 1 bigger forces than ever against the Pol- i sh front with view to wiping out the effect of the recent Polish successes. ! Such would not be in keeping with 1 the bolshevik claims of desiring peace I but the spread of bolshevik influence
 would be sufficient reason for putting an end to peace negotiations with Poland
 or the asking of decidedly different terms | than were indicated Immediately after | the armistice was signed Thus it is not i surprising if Poland is a bit suspicious of the excuses offered for breaking off
 negotiations. It doesn't require much of
 pretext if the bolsheviki are desirous of ending the plans for peace. The sit nation is therefore bit delicate for it is i to be realized that the Poles must be
 expected to keep their promises and it is l impossible to break them solely because i of suspicious which may or may not be well founded. Thus even though the break is not considered serious it can be 1 appreciated that both sides are going to | be on their guard during the rest of the negotiations The Wrangel disaster is
 plainly having it's effects upon the final | adjustment of the future relations of | those governments.

can actor was appearing in London, Ma
 cready and his friends had actually hired
 men to visit the theatre and hiss For rest off the stage. It was also supposed to be through their influence that the London press assailed both the actor and his country. These episodes natur-
 ally stirred up g serious discussion on both sides of the Atlantic.
 In 184S Macready again came to the United States on a professional tour and after performing in various parts, of the country commenced a farewell en- gagement at the Astor Place Opera House, in New York, in May, 1S49. Here | the anti-Macready party determined to silence him by mob violence.
 The engagement was set to begin on l May '. When the doors were opened for i the first performance a large number of 1 dissenters entered the theatre and took 1 seats in different parts of ;the house. Long before the rise of the curtain the | theatre was well filled. Anticipating 1 trouble, the chief of police and a body of the force were present to preserve or der. l When the curtain was raised there
 -were misses, .whistling and other evi-
 dences of disorder. At times the uproar
 was deafening. A deluge of assafoetida was discharged upon Macready' when he
 made his appearance. Finally de- cayed egg fell at the trasedians feet. ! The friends of Macready, who appear- ed rather to outnumber those opposed to him, manifested their feelings by crying Shame! shame!" but this only made matters worse. and missiles from all parts of the house began descending on the stage Then three cheers were. called i for both actors, and were taken up re II spectiyely by their friends
 The scene which followed beggars de scription. Finally Mir. Macready ap ] preached the footlights. He was greeted
 by roars of ironical laughter, and re ) iterated misses and groans. Cries 0 . Down with the English hog!'-"Tak } off the Devonshire bull!"-"Remembe how Edwin Forrest was used in Lon , don!"-and similar exclamations wer : loud and frequent.
 !, Macready Kept bravely on, but wa : finally compelled to have the curtai rung down. He decided to abandon tn
 engagement but friends in New York
 headed by Washington Irving, urged hir 1 to proceed and assured him protection He attempted another appearance O May 10 The calling out of the militi 2 by the mayor the afternoon of tn performance added fuel to the flame. 4 early as 6.30 people began assemblin
