is singular. The state owns about L.
100000 acres, charitable institutions

100000 acres and the large estates,
held by private owners, cover S,0OO,-
600 acres. It must not be taken for
granted that the extensive Czechosio-
yak forests were given over to the
use Of the whole people. On the con-
trary, all the benefits to be derived

wealthy owners, when the mere walk

FIRE PREVENTION
IS CONSERVATION
Stopping Fires Before They Start
Means Big Economic Saving
To All Citizens.
BY Henry NJ. Warfsld.

The Fire Prevention Campaign,
organized for Baltimore and the
State of Maryland, and which
starts October /, should be viewed
by the citizens as one of the most
important conservation measures
ever presented for their con
sideration and cooperation. Few,
believe, fully comprehend what
the reduction of the fire waste
really means. Property destroyed
by fire, while in most instances
paid for by the insurance COM
panics, is, nevertheless, wiped out
of existence and thereby consti-
tutes a lessening of our resources
by necessitating its replacement
from our constantly diminishing
sources Of supply.
So many fires are due to care
lessness or lack of attention to
small details in ones house or
place of business that it appears
almost criminal that those re-
sponsible should not realize the
importance of exercising the
necessary care and supervision
over the premises under their
control that would prevent large
percentage of the fires.
The Association of Fire Under
writers Of Baltimore City and
other similar associations through
out the state and country employ
expert inspectors who are con-
stantly employed In making In
spections, pointing out to prop
erty owners the defects in their
equipment and fire prevention ar
engagements, the improvement OF
which is reflected by reduction in
insurance rates. These inspect
ors are at the service of any prop
erty owner desiring their advice
and the compliance with this ad-
vice has saved the assured many
thousands of dollars in premiums
besides reducing the fire waste in
which every man and woman
should be interested.
These associations are support
ed by the stock fire insurance
companies at no small cost, and
any fair-minded citizen cannot
but appreciate the great good
their work has been to any COM
munity through the improved
building laws, fire prevention de-
vices and fre-fghting devices sug-
gested by experts in the various
lines. Reduction of the fire waste
must result in reduction in the
cost of insurance, for no class OF
business is under stricter super
vision than insurance by the in
surance commissioners of all the
states. Should the reduction in
fire waste be such as to show in,
creased profits to the insurance
companies, rates are just as GER
tain to come down proportionate
ly as night is to follow day.
We have in Baltimore an ex
cellent example of the assistanc,
the stock insurance companies ar,
in bringing about better fire pre-
vention in the area swept by til,
great fire of 1904. This area ha.
been rebuilt to a great extent un
der the direction of the expert
employed by the insurance com
panies with the result that, ate
paying out about $50, 100000 il
losses to property owners, thes
property owners are now enjoy
ing lower insurance rates than be
fore the conhagration and tn
City of Baltimore can feel quit
sure that a repetition of the con
flagration will not occur in thi

Prevention And Insurance

The Maryland Fire Prevention
Campaign, which will teach many
Marylanders many ways Of pre-
venting many fires, will also teach
them the value of fire insurance
which, next to prevention of fires, is
the best safeguard against heavy
losses. Every person owning prop
erty should see to it that his insur-
ance policy is in working order; thai
is, that it covers his possession.

Rain Insurance Valuable.

Rain insurance is new thing to
many Marylanders, but it is a good
thing, especially for the. manage

a rain insurance policy, can protect
the fair against loss caused by
heavy rains keeping the expected
crowds away.

Democrats Made Decisive Gains.

The elections held in various
states November 9th would indi-
cate a good beginning in the re-
turn to political normalicy. Such
a decided drift, occurring in a
general congressional election, or
in the presidential election would
place the Democrats in power.
It is true that not a great deal
was gained in the election in the
way of offices or new power, but
much is accomplished for the fu-
ture by the heartening influence
of decided victories in half a
dozen states, giving proof that
it is easily possibly to turn the
Republicans out of the House of
Representatives next fall.
While the election in New York
has attracted the greater atten-
tion, those in Virginia, Kentucky
and Maryland were very impor-
ant as showing that the Republi-
can high tide of a year ago has
been rolled back, and that all
danger OF breaking the solid
Democratic South has again pass.

Freaks Of the Wind

While Garnett and James Bugg
were driving along the road near
the residence of R. L. PurdOm
last Friday during the storm,
the wind was blowing such a
gale and limbs were falling
about them, making their fur
ther progress dangerous, SO
they left their horse standing
near fence and ran to the Pur.
dom home for shelter. After
the storm subsided, when they
returned for their horse they
found that the wind had lifted
the buggy and blown it over the
fence. The horse, still bitched
but unhurt, stood trembling
with fear on one side of the
fence, while the buggy, uniH,
jured was on the other side

ed. Part of this result can
doubtless be traced to the Presi-
dents blunder in going into the
heart of the South as the guest
of the Southern white people
and saying at Birmingham
whether you like it or not, you
have to give the negro political
and economic equality" This
came when Col. Anderson, the
Republican candidate for Cover
nor of Virginia, was running on
a platform that called for the re-
moval of all restrictions on negro
suffrage in the State. He was
defeated by the largest majority
ever rolled up in the Old Domi-
nion, even the Slemp district,
Republican for years, going De-
mocratic. In a year from now
Slemp has to go before the peo-
pie and overcome a 1900 Demo-
cratic majority in his district.
If the result in New York
means anything, it means that
the Democrats can look forward
to the election of a Governor and
a full state ticket next fall.
A strong young Democratic can
didate would win.

Mr.. Chesles Searcy. the Re-
