JERSEY CITY FIRES 4 COMMONPLACE

Ky the time this sees print there may be another fire in Jersey City or envirors. although we hope not, That industrial paradise has had enough of fires for awhile, although there is TO guarantee, conditions be- ing what they are, that they will not occur from tunc to time to narass the city,
 Jersey City ls place where more large industrial enterprises crowd along the water front than any w.era or 'he continent Close to the piers are large plants, many con- ,g,ning irrammabIe material. Whonrrer d fire starts # isn't likely ,o be two by -Four affair,

HARTFORD MAN ALLOWED TO FREEZE TO DEATH

lt seems nearly impossible in these ultra civilized days that man can be permitted 10 freeze 10 death on city street; but this happened in Hartford during last night.
 A man, returning from a christen- ing party, and said by police to have been intoxicated, fell in this tracks and this morning was discovered dead from exposure. Nobody 10 soc him lylng prostrate nobody 10 call the police, nobody to offer succor; just a falling by the wayside and death.
 The kin Of this man, fl he has any, have his friends 10 blame. Let ting an intoxicated man so homo alone on cold night is letting him court death.

unemployed did not blame the c. O. P for their fix; but it Is a rim Of the donghnut to the air 1t surrounds that the Republican party gets the credit when the mills reopen.
 During the past two years west orn farmers have suffered enormous hardships; moro than 5000 banks m the rural district failed; more than fo0. OoO farmers went bankrupt and thousands abandoned their farms. Nothing like this "dchalion" was known in +he western rural dis tricts within the memory of the present generation, and it all hap pcncA during a Republican admin istratiou. Yet large majority of the Western farmers quickly forgot all about 1t when the paucity Of a wheat surplus in the world markets brought abou. an increase in price. The fu- tura looked bright, SO th, majority voted for Coolidge and imminent prosperity.
 There is no question that had the Democratic party been in power durlng the agricultural disaster the parry would have received full credit for terrible conditions on the west crn farms,
 The election Of Coolidge has been wonder-working salve upon the sore spots in the body polite, and The events upon the stock exchange scu,ely reflect the public state of mind, There are stories Of "big win nngs'in the stock exchange, and the value of securities listed there has already increased thne billions Of dollars. The people who own them. in other words, are alreaoy better off to the extent Of this huge sum. That's prosperity, isn't it? Somebody pays interest and returns on the three billion, but that isn't felt if prosperity reigns throughout the land. Indeed, the value of the outstanding securities may increase by ten billions before the prosperity imitation spree is over.
 We trust that nobody will b. dis appointed In the future. If they are it will be hard thing to find goat to blame 1t on, especially after Jan uary 1, when it won't even be pos sible to blame it on congress which will be Republican.

FRONT PAGE IS BEST WARNING SIGNAL.

There are signs - Stop, Look and Listen al grade crossings; there are signs along the highways warning of dangerous curves. But what should he the most effective signs of all for motorists are those which usually appear on the front pages Of the newspapers.
 Scarcely day passes but the front page signs do no, counsel caution. A motorist, be he ever so inclined toward recklessness when he thinks he is in a hurry, cannot help but noticing the meaning of inc newspaper headlines, They have personal meaning 10 every driver. The hradlines which be- speak of fatal accidents, some times recounrng deaths in horrible form, should throw a shock into every au,o!st. They should make him doub'y careful.
 Too many reckless drivers, how. ever, seem to think the fatal acct dents are meant only Tor the other fcllov;' that some kind ta'e will keep tAo01 from making the first page as a warning signal to others In this toy frequently are ms taken; only they never get a chance 10 read tao @oma~e obituary unlo, the y-~eamH"r I@a1lne -- that is leG, for o,aers 10 rra1 and ponder over.

PHYSICAL TRAINING

One,LeS6ed Students on CaliiOr'
 nia'S GymnaStiC Team

Berkeley, Cal, Nov. IT. -- The University of California's system of physical education has been ex- banded to include students who have physical defects, but are not necessarily required to forego all exertion conducive to building up their bodies.
 As. Prof. Frank L. klceberger, chairman of the department of physical education. explained it: Many students who are incapaci- tated in one way or another apply for permission to be excused from work in this department because they think that 1t is impossible for them to pursue such a course. Yet they are anxious to engage in some thing that would border along ath- letic lines. After we have secured permission from attending physi- cians,. VIC have in many instances been able 10 place such students fin special classes, with results very gratifying"
 University gymnastic teams in re- cent terms have included three one- legged men. One student with withered arm has become adept at bag punching.
 Physical education does not ne- cessarily mean physical exercise" :" said Prof. Kleeberger. Many times we recommend abstinence from

THE HUMAN FOL ALTON
 AND NRFCKS

The wreck of the Capitol Limited on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in Maryland on Saturday did not exact as much q toll Of life as many automobile accidents; yet 1t was a spectacular wreck Of one ef the country's premier trains and as such is deserving Of more than superficial comment.
 The railroad company in its state ment declared the train was operat- ed by one Of the most experienced engineers in the service, yet at that point he was travelling too fast. A small freight wreck had necessitated the limited being switched from the west to the east bound tracks, and in taking t&e switch the train Of heavy Pullmans was not slowed down suf- fciently in conformity with the rules. the railroad announced.
 Such failures 10 slew down sufi- cicntiy while taking a switch have caused wrechs time and again.
 It is ist as easy 10 underst and the reason for the fatal wreck of intorurban trains near Niagara Falls recently, when one crashed into the other standing in froit Of station. The motorman who failed to see the car had been on duty 1T hours and was without sleep for 27 hours, con- trary 10 all rules, regulations and the law. Not person in the car he was operating would have remained in it had they known he had gone without sleep for such a long period

 The editorial intima'ed that among those headed Tor the neither regions were some college stnderts. but it made plain 10 state that most college students were inclined to- ward better destination.
 All of which was caused by the report Of an undergraduate com nit+ee which eXcoriated living con- ditions and the conduct Of few Of +he students living in Rack Bay boarding and rooming houses. 1t arroa~s that every evil known to man i$ being cultivated by this minority Of students, which oa course also includes drinking, i'm morality and gambling.
 Y seems roculiar that in these days of widespread higher ednca- ton that the impulses o' the body and human tendency toward evil are nor under entire control or eliminated.
