RE-sTAGING 1920 CAMPAIGN.

The outcome of the fight Senator Reed,
Democrat, OF Missouri. is making for reaonina-
ton and election Is Of interest TO the entire
country for the reason that it turns almost en-
tirely on national issues. II has, OF course. !
factienal aspect in that Reed. who is TOO much
OF fighter not to have built Up strong per-
sonal organization IS opposed with unprece-
dented bitterness by the old Wilson crowd. But
this factionisn is the direct result not Of anv
state issues but OF Reeds attitude in the senate
toward tie League Of Nations and other Wilson
policies
There was time when Mr. Wilson counted
Reed as a deserving Democrat" He would
probably be writing letters describing him as
that today If Reed had not both spoken and
voted against one Wilson measure after another
in the senate. And the reports Of Reeds stump
ing tour indicate that he believes wisconsin is
Just as unpopular now as it was when the nation
rolled up 100000 majority against it in the last
presidential election.
The Missourian is employing all his vituper-
tive eloquence il slashing attacks upon not only
the Wilson policies but Mr.. Wilson himself. He
IS too shrewd not to see the chance of winning
many thousands of votes by denouncing the
former presidents autocratic spirit and methods
and pointing out that he is in a sense even yer
attempting to dictate to Missouri Democrats bv
his demand that they defeat Reed and send
former Wilson officeholder to Washington in
his place.

AMERICAS FIRE LOSSES

President Harding, in issuing a proclana
ten calling for the observance OF MONDAY
October 9. the anniversary of the Chicago cor
fagration Of as. as Fire Prevention Day. drew
attention TO what has become disgrace tc
America 1T has long become reproach 10 our
country" he said. that by reason OF poor con-
struction, inadequate facilities for fire proven
ton and too general carelessness about possible
causes OF conflagration, our fire waste reaches
figures year after year which are not approached
IN any other country in the world"
The fire losses of the United States in 1920
amounted to s33o,s53,o25, or enough to build
more than $4,000 houses at cost Of S. 600 each.
Terrible as was the Chicago fire, It's loss placed
at S2o0O00,00O, is seen TO be much below the
countrys annual fire waste now. It has come
to pass that every year lately we have had fire
damage equal 10 the wiping out completely Of
one large city.
There is no reason why there should &c
greater 1ate~of fire waste in the United States
than IN any other country. The immense wealth
of'the American people affords no excuse. There
are so many useful things TO which wealth can

are paying in many ways for fire losses one
OF them being in increased insurance rates.
