the door the flames met him, burning
his face and head. The fire was so far
advanced that nothing could be done to
stop it and the house and furnishings
were destroyed. There was an insur-

furniture. The cause of the fire is un-
known, there having been no FIRE since
the middle OF the previous afternoon

Life Admits of No Inaction; Fight or
Be Swept Aside.

The fact that life means continuous
action from the cradle TO the grave
affords us much food for thought. We
sometimes forget that we are going
either forward or backward all the
time; that we do not stand in our
tracks and watch the world roll by
and that we either win or lose life's
victory day by day.
There is no such thing as inaction in
the business Of life; there are too
many forces about us clamoring for
expression to admit Of our remaining
idle. We must either fight for our ex-
istenee or be swept out Of the ring,
crushed and defeated. If we were TO
look into the book of our own lives
and turning it page by page, examine
carefully the record, we would find
that, compared with this time last
year, for example, we have either
pressed onward OF fallen back

FINANCIAL DOMINATION
Yorkville Enquirer.


In the current issue of Commerce
and Finance there is quite a shrewd
article by Theodore H. Price, intend
ed as a defense Of the group of Wall
Street financiers recently charged by
Senator LaFollette as having conspir-
Ell together in the bringing about the
world-deflation Of wages and prices
through which we are now passing.
Senator LaFollette's speech was bas-
ed largely upon diagrams and argu-
ments furnished by W. Jett LAUGH,
economist Of the Brotherhood Of Rail-
way Engineers, which speeches and
arguments undertook to show that
the banks, the railroads and the rail
road equipment companies Of THIS
country. along with the big steel cor
poration and other leading industries
arc completely dominated by not ex-
ceeding twenty-five men, through in
directorates- In part Mr..
Price says by way Of reply:
1t Is a maxim Of law that II Is nee
essary to prove a motive in order to
prove a crime and the charge that the
conspirators in New York
have brought about the world wide
deflation Of prices and of wages that
has nearly bankrupted some of them

Why Do People Die?

No scientist, living or dead, has
been able to explain why any per-
son should die, except by accident or
violence. They can see no reason for
1t, except that 'it is appointed to
every man once to die"
Scientists have discovered that
from the moment baby is born, the
forces Of life and Of destruction be-
gin to fight in the cells Of the brain
snd body. Until maturity, the cells
multiply rapidly and thus growth is
accomplished. But even during this
growing period, the germs of decay
ere busily at work.
1t also has been discovered by
scientists that cleanliness and sani-
tary living conditions prolong indivi-
dual and community life. This is
not theory, but logical and sensible
reasoning, demonstrated in practice,
1t should be generally understood by
every man, woman and child.
A few immaculate homes in fine
residence district will not safeguard
even that neighborhood from an cpl
demic. Smallpox may originate in
an unsanitary home miles away, and
sweep the city. A polluted water
supply, or a stagnant pool in q vacant
lot, may become the source Of a ty-
phoid epidemic.
Dust, dirt and filth breed disease
Disease hastens decay and death
Let's Danish these enemies Of good
health and long life. Let's work to,
sether for a cleaner and more sani.
tary city. This IL the greatest and
most important cooperative effort
that We can make for reducing ouI
mortality rate.
There can be nothing finer thar
/ the community spirit which demands
that We clean up. paint up, and keel
u up.

This Is the reduction and absurdun
OF Mr.. Lauck's arraignment, devel
oped at some length lest his allega
tions uncontroverted might mislead
the public who are always willing tc
believe the worst of Wall Street. W.
have lived on or near that nefarioui
thoroughfare for thirty-five years and
know that our neighbors are neither
more nor less selfish than their
countrymen elsewhere. In every lit.
tle town and every city In the coun-
try, in every church and in the man.
agement Of every charitable organisa-
tfon there is some one man or group
OF men that leads and dominates.
Amongst women in every grade OF
life there are social leaders whose au-
tbority Is generally recognised. In
schools and colleges there is always
some boy or girl whose right to the
leadership Of the scholastic group is
conceded and whose decisions are re-
speeted. This Is fundamental In hu-
man nature In the days Of prehistoric
man the tribe had its chief and from
then on every group has either tacit-
ly or affirmatively selected and obey
ed some one In whose leadership II
had confidence.
As the duties Of leadership multi
ply lieutenants become necessary and
so 1t results that in finance as in ev-
cry other field of human activity
there are men and women who be-
come associated together in he di-
rection Of the forces that must be in
telligently directed II society Is to
survive. It cannot be otherwise unless
the 'eugenists manage to contrive that
the mental endowment Of every hum
an being shall be identical and that
brains as we'll as wealth shall be
distributed.
Quite an ingenious argument that
Mr.. Price makes; but not at all con-
In their presentation of the case,
for instance. Mr.. Lauck and Senator
LaFollette give the names of the men
they charge with having manipulated
the whole business. not only the orig
inal expansion, but the subsequent
and while there Is no Ques-
tion Of the fact that many million
aires have been bankrppted, Mr.. Price
does not show that any Of the men
named have been hurt.
II there was anything criminal in
the stupendous operation complained
OF, 1t was in the expansion rather than
IN the contraction. and II the whole
thing was really a conspiracy, It is
pretty safe to assume that the parties
who were on the inside managed to
take care of thmselves.

MOST oe Our Troubles Never Happen.

In the panic Of 1907 q resoluts
gentleman connected with q large
city bank labored long and earnest
~ with the head Of the institution tc
back him up In an experiment. II
took some time for the head Of the
bank to be won over, but at last he
consented.
Then the resolute gentleman went
calling. He visited persons who had
been clients Of the bank for year,
:, and who had good sound businesses
which were doing little owing to the
general gloom.
The first man he approached had
q very dark view of things. He
talked pessimistically and was severe
In his criticism of the banks.
III the banks would only loosen
( ND" he said. I'VE could get into our
stride In no time. but we cannot get
money except In driblets and SO we
: are hobbled."
Gould you use money If you had
liberal credit!" asked tho resolute
nan.
Gould I use money!" exclaimed
the merchant. "Could / use money!"
well, you can have 100000
from us right now" DECLARED the res
olute man.
do you mean that3 Do you real
ly mean what you say!" demand
ed the merchant.
"I do"
'T hardly can believe it," declared
the merchant, 81 think I'll go down
to the bank and see the boss"
The resolute man went from busi-
ness house to business house as he
had listed the persons he was to
see.
He says that only one man took
immediate advantage OF the offer
made to him. The others really did
not need money in volume at that
moment and couldn't use it to ad-
vantage II they had it, but their
whole view of conditions was chang
ed at once by the fact that they could
get money If they required it.
Before the resolute man got
around to the twenty-firs. person
on his list there was a pronounced
