Despite Prevention Agitation,

This Year Than Ever.

The designation by three-fourths OF
the states OF the Union OF October o
as nre prevention day serves the pur-
pose of focusing public attention
upon the tremendous waste, both OF
property and life. resulting from pre-
ventable fres. The matter OF nre pre-
vention, however. Is not one that
should be remembered upon one day
OF each year and forgotten the rest
OF the time. Unceasing vigilance
SHOULD be the watchword.
Periodically there comes from vsri-
Gus safety and fre prevention agen-
cies lists of '"dos" and "don'ts," all OF
which are valuable IL needed. but the
whole matter may be boiled down TO
a very few words, as follows: Feel

and act accordingly.

HARDINC'S PLAN
Tennessee Democratic Sena-
tor in Harmony With Pres

SUPPORT ADMINISTRATION

Washington, Dec. 21.-(SpeciaI.)-
The Washington Post of this morning
carries an interview with Senator
John X. Shields, given after his con-
ference with President elect Harding
at Marion in which the Tennessee sem
ator indicates that he is in harmony
with Mr.. Harding on his plan for an
association of nations, and that he
VIII support the forthcoming admins
tratlon.
Senator Shields said.
Senator Harding and | voted TO-
gether the first time for ratification
OF the Versailles treaty with reserya-
tions. but the last time we divided
and ! voted against the whole thing.
II was invited to Marion to discuss
International questions and we did so,
l peleVes as ! have all along, that the
United states should not become n
member Of the league as II was framed
at Versailles, or without reservations,
l DeAeve that the league creates
super-government or an imperialism
dominated by the five great nations
chiefly instrumental in the council.
and that its fundamental principle Is
military force. There is no room for
an imperialism under our Constitution
and form of government and the
American people are opposed to II.
Would Favor World Court.
mot only is the league an imperial
government. but there is in IL another
want of self-government, self deter
mnation and the principles of democ-
racy.
II am opposed to all this, and the
American people do not favor it, as
has been demonstrated by the whole
nf
firmed by the result of the great SOL
emn referendum which President Will
son invoked.
II would favor the creation of
great international court of justice
and codification Of the laws of ma
tions to be administered by that court.
That court should have Jurisdiction
Of all controversies of nations ordi-
narily known as justifiable, but no
eighty and independence OF nations
These may be arbitrated and, in order
to prevent wars, | would favor treaties
providing for conference Of nations
where all, great and small, might be
heard, according to their absolute
equality and In pursuance of settled
principles of International law. But 1t
should be so framed that no nation
would surrender its sovereignty or its
right to exercise its own discretion In
all matters which might arise.
United States Would be Free.
1.-THE system should be such that the
United tSates, for example, would re-
main free, sovereign and independent
and not be involved In the political
jealousies and strifes of others regard
ing dynasties or territories. But we
should continue ready % do the just
and righteous thing whs sver occasion
requires and our judgment might die
tate, AS Senator Harding Is working,
l feel that there is a good chance OF
producing something of this kind"

The police base their belief that IL

fore the robbery another and larger
safe containing more than $40, 900 was
passed through the same door and
