FIRE INSURANCE RATES.

THE Moultrie Observer, observes
that the Americas Times-Re-
eofder is campaigning for lower fire
insurance rates in Americas. There
may be need for such campaign in
Monltrie. Moultrie has two or three
times endeavored to qualify for low
ef insurance rates, but they get
around it one way or another, with
the result that rates are now higher
Than ever. Insurance is another
thing, along with high rents and high
taxes, that bears down on business
men in these times.
'40ne way to hold down the insur-
ance rates isto begin by reducing the
number Of fires. Possibly we need
more night watchmen. Fires are ex.
pensive to$a community, even where
the property is covered by insurance,
and they are ruinous where no insur.
ance is carried. We need to reduce
cur annual fire losses before we wage

The battle was short thereafter.
Harold was never match for Bill.
The latter's hard fists dashed into
his face, blow after blow with grim
reports in the silence. harold's re-
Isistance ceased; his body quivered
and lay still. Remembering Virginia,
Bill leaped to his feet.
But Harold was not quite uncon-
scious, But one impulse was left
to escape; and dumbly he crawled to
the door.
No weapon remained in his hand

tied his ankles together, giving him
room for a full walking step but not
ienough to leap or run.
They put on his hands pair of
awkward mittens that had been
stiffened by mud and water, and
lashed them to his wrists.
Then they slipped the thong of the
sled across his shoulders and under
his arms like the loops of kyack.

is it but the labor question? And
the question of the hour, what. In
deed, is that but the question Of the
ages as we have been tracing 1t out
this evening? How is the balance to
be struck again between liberty and
law? The right Of the individual ends
where the right of the community
begins. Nobody disputes that. But
who is to decide where one ends and
the other begins? That Is the point.
Who Is to decide? The individual or
the community: A money trust or
the community? A labor union or
the community? The questions would
seem to answer themselves.
yet now and then some labor leader
or some captain of industry stands up
apd says that the community cannot
decide that question, or. il 1t does. he
and his fellows will overrule the de-
cision. IL 1t goes against them. That,
then, Is the real issue. The truth Is,
we find ourselves again in one of
those tight places where somebody
has got to give up; where new ad-
justment must be made between lib
erty and law All 1 say now is that
that adjustment must be made in the
interest OF the whole and not OF any
individual or any class, and that the
