Judge Clarke and the League.

FORMER Justice Clarke denies that
he entertains presidential aspirations.
He h not now seeking. and will not In
future seek. amy public oilice." lie
retired from the bench solely for the
purpose of studying public questions
appealing to him, and giving them
SUPPORT. The league Of nations Is pre-
fesrsd.
Judge Clarke says "it is a surface
judgment which regards the result OF
the election in 1920 as final against
our government joining the league Of
nations" The seven.milIion-odd ma.
jority thrown against the league that
year can, In his opinion, be overcome.
and he will do what he can in that
behalf. 1t may take time-as much
even as ten years-but he has enlisted
for the war. His service on the bench
has made him,a patient man.
Judge Clarke believes that public
opinion in this country favors the
league. and on the point says:
THIS great body Of public opinion
ol our tO tnS iCuSu
of nations has been noutcd and
ignored. because since the Illness OF
former President wilson 1t has been
without u program and without spe-
ciflc leadership.
Was not Gov Cox's leadership In
1920 specific? Has not the governor
since been specializing. and IL he not
now specializing on the league? Has
ne not hut recently returned from Eu.
rops, where, favored by audiences
with eminent statesmen--f.loyd George
in England and Poineare In France
he Investigated the league question up
to date? Is he not trying to make the
league an issue again? and Is he not
strongly suspected OF desire TO try
his fortunes as democratic leader
again?
Although unsuccessful. Gov. CoX's
leadership has been most specific. -ahd
doubtless ii given a chance he will en-
gage to make it quite as specific in
1924.
These two distinguished Buckeyes
should get together.

The Nations Ash Heap.

Fire-prevention day is proclaimed by
the President. Monday. October 9, the
country is to observe the anniversary
.cf the great Chicago conflagration OF
1871. All citizens. especially those in
authority. are asked to consider the
uesirability of continuing this observ'
;lace annually. and to make it as i'm.
i~eszive as possible.
The Presidents proclamation. for.
mally issued as an official statement to
the nation, urges the adoption Of meas
ures to lessen the tremendous waste
due to fire in this country, a waste
which, as he says. lis expressed in fig.
ures so huge as to be appalling"
During the forty years ending with
1921 property valued at about $780,
600 ,698 was destroyed by fire in this
country. During the last year Of this
period the loss was about six times as
great as that OF the first year. In 1921
over 1900 lives were lost and prop
erty valued at half billion dollars
was destroyed by fire. This Aoss. it is
pointed out by the United States
Chamber of Commerce, was simply the
total OF many separate fires and not
the result of any great contiagration.
During the first seven months of this
current year property valued at $780,.
600. 900 was added to the nations ash
heap"
The greater part of this loss is pre-
ventable. Indeed, practically every fire
may be prevented. Only fires set by
lightning or by such disasters as an
earthquake. as in San Francisco. may
be reckoned as unavoidable. Careless
ness causes. It may be said, 80 per
cent of Disqualification OF some simple
rule Of safety. tine exposure Of infiam.
mable material to heat and flame,
neglect Of electric insulation, lack of
proper inspection. the thoughtless dis
posal OF lighted matter. as cigars and
cigarettes and burning matches. ex-
posure of matches to the hands of
children.
Every fire teaches a lesson, but in
few cases ls the lesson learned. Every
fre IS a warning, but few warnings
are needed. It Is the business of the
fire naarshals to Investigate and if pos
sible determine causes. and these
causes are made public as widely as
possible. Yet the same mistakes con-
tinue to be committed, the same dan
gers are invited and same risks
are run.
The purpose of Fire-prevention day
Is to focus attention nationally upon
the rules of safety in the matter of
protection from fire. In every city the
question is to be discussed. perhaps
will be given publicly
as to how fires are started. Object les.
sons make deeper impressions than
speeches and printed texts. Yet every
fire Is an object lesson. and it is,
ignored by most people.

Mr.. Bryan and the Farmers.

From Los Angeles:
The agricultural bloc is the only
bloc at Washington which has worked
In the open and for the benefit Of the
people. according to William J. Bryan,
former Secretary Of State, in an ad-
dress before the Los Angeles City
Club. "9r 10 the only bloc which has
accomplished anything whatsoever at
~" n~esent session Of Congress- said
Bryan.
High praise, and from a high source.
But listen.
The agricultural bloc concerned it.
self chiefly with the tariff. Advancing
the proposition that heretofore the
manufacturers had been largely the
bsnesaciafies ct sari6 rates and sched-
ules, with the farmers too little con-
sldereds when cone1aered at all, this
bloc took up the cudgels for the farm.

Budget BumEing.

An officer Of the budget bureau has
been detailed to inspect the streets of
Washington to determine at first hand
whether as much money is needed for
their repair as the Commissioners re-
quest. 1t is to be hoped that he Is
making the tour in a stout vehicle. for
there is risk OF damage to the budget
bureaus transport if this officer tests
the Districts pavements and roads on
"high."
But apart from that consideration,
which is none of the Districts busi-
ness. the question arises whether this
is the way to determine budget de-
tails. The District Commissioners
surely arc well enough acquainted
with the condition of the capital $
highways to be able to present de-
pendable figures for their maintenance
and repair. If the budget bureau Is
going 10 investigate every item Of the
estimates submitted before passing
judgment it will need a much larger
force than has now been allotted. and
the job of supervising and preparing
the budget will be one Of enormous
proportions.
Will the recommendations of the
budget bureau on the matter of streets
in Washington after such personal in
Spection-which cannot fail to lead to
the conclusion that the Commissioners
are right-be accepted without aues-
tion by the appropriation committees
Of Congress? Hardly. unless all prece-
dents are abandoned. There will be
hearings, as usual. The Commissioners
will be called upon to Justify their fig
ures. They will have to take the COM
mittee verbally over the city streets
on bumpy rides to demonstrate the
need of the funds they seek for their
proper upkeep. Their position may
perhaps be strengthened and their
reuuisition more Eavorably considered
if a foot note is-added to the item that
the budget bureau has personally been
bumped to a conviction Of this need.
Members of Congress. members Of
the appropriations committees, are
daily bumped on Washington's streets
and the Districts roads. 1t needs no
special expedition from the budget bu
reau to prove their sad state. Every
day is inspection day for Congress,
and il direct evidence of need Is all
that is required to cause liberal ap-
preparations for this purpose 1t Is al
ready at hand.
