essay contest on the subject of fire
prevention Maj Gen. Leonard Wood,
commander Of the central division of
the army, acted as chairman of the
board of judges. He took keen inter
est in reading the essays, which, be-
cause he was unable to leave Fort

New York by representative of the
National Board of Fire Underwriters.

that of vigilance in measures looking
to fire prevention and the dissemina-
ton of information concerning the
sources of danger and what can be
done to prevent The fundamental
cause of fires is carelessness, combined
with a certain amount of ignorance. If

Benighted conditions in Russia are

in ignorance of the fact that they are
being saved through the intrumental-

Rum-Running and the Constitution.

The Senate group that refuses to &C
cept the latest compromise on the
search warrant section of the medical
beer bill are going so strong on person
al liberty as guaranteed by the con-
stitution that one may ask why they
do not, in all consistency, demand that
no customs officer shall search an
American citizens baggage when re-
turning from abroad without first Sc
curing search warrant. An Ameri-
can citizens trunk on New York pier
is his property as much as his automo-
bile on the highway between Canada
and Hartford.
But these stern old senatorial guard
ians of the constitution, everyone of
whom has been opposed TO prohibition
from the first to last, are determined
apparently to establish the constitu-
tional immunity of rum-running auto
mobiles from search without a war
rant. II would cause them no distress
of mind if the rum-runner's car dis
appeared in the distance at a l00.mile-
an-hour clip while a futile effort was
being made 70 obtain a warrant for
the search of the property Of citizen
whose name and residence were un-
known.

tional guaranty Of the citizens against
what the fourth amendment describes

anywhere. Whether one be a wet or a
