THE red menace in my opinion

Education tho Cure

The way that prisoners IN the
past have been treated certainly

is surprising that revolutionary doc

gime at Thomaston Is appreciated by
the men and Will do more than any,
thing else to convince them that the
doctrines OF the radical are unsound,
and that the only right way to live
is to obey the law. Our prison au-
thorities are planting the seeds OF
respect for law In the hearts of the
men under their charge. When these
men go out into the world they will
have very different attitude toward
their fellow beings than they would
have had. had the. old conditions at

JJsTICE IN THE CABINET

Moved by the astounding revelations of
the official misconduct of Mr. Daugherty,
Senator Brookhart seeks to have the office
of attorney general removed from the cabinet
and thus "taken out of politics" There is
much to recommend the suggestion, especially
if future presidents are to name men like
Daugherty for this responsible post. But
it is not likely that future presidents will be
so careless at least until long after the
Daugherty expose is forgotten. Besides, the
senate should not forget that it has a share
in the responsibility of selecting cabinet Of
ficers, and that none can sit in such a ca
pacity until he has had senatorial approval.
The senate is expected to act as a board
of review for the purpose of eliminating just
such prospects as Daugherty. But the SEN
ate, in it's Republican eagerness to stand
well with the country, attempted to show a
front of party unity that turned out to be
spurious, and confirmed the appointment of a
man whose lack of capacity was known to
everyone at all conversant with political and
public affairs.
Possibly it is wise to take the department
out of the cabinet; but it may be equally as
wise to remove all other, departments. Ger
tainly Mr.. Daugherty's dereliction was not
worse than Mr.. Falls; while his unetness

Bide DudIey's Rhymes
Bail Your Hook with Praise

There was a man in our town and ne was
wondrous wise. He won a girl by soothing at
his mothers pumpkin pies. He told the little
maiden she would make a model wife, and
suffered with dyspepsia nearly all his mar
ried life. There was girl in our town and
she had lots of sense. She caught man
by telling him his ideas were immense. She
let him talk about himself each time ne
dropped around. He bored her, but she mar
ried him. Success her efforts crowned.
In seeking things in this old world just
use your brain a bit. Play on the other
mans conceit. 1t always makes hit. A
compliment, placed here and there, on no
ones ears will CRATE. Your fishing won't be
fruitless if you use the proper bait. I've
never met human yet Who wouldn't lend
an ear to bits of praise about himself-Tthat's
what they love to hear. There's one 'excep-
toni, myself they've tried it many times,
but have scoffed. Say, by the way, how
do you like my rhymesl

OUR PREVENTABLE FIRE LOSS

Most of the official observers from foreign
countries who come to America to study in
dustrial conditions are much impressed with
the vast waste in this country. Fire losses
take conspicuous place among the many
sources of waste. Yet they attract COM
paratively little attention and comment be-
cause there is mistaken impression by the
average citizen that they are covered by in
surance, or else unpreventable. There was
never a greater error nor one which adverse
" affects so many businesses and individuals.
Reports show that more than five hun
dred million dollars were lost in the United
States in 1923, through fires The real waste
involved in this destruction lies in the fact
that seventy-five per cent of the fires are
preventable, according to the head of the Ma
tional Board of Underwriters. That means
that the American people are paying IN IN
surance premiums millions of dollars annual
" for the privilege Of carelessness.
While fire insurance is indispensable, hre
losses would be very largely reduced II there
were no Insurance. because there would be
much greater precautions against fire.
Five hundred million dollars a year Is a
heavy tax on a nation. Congress mas Deeh
wrestling with the soldier bonus for years,
yet the annual cost of the bonus under the
measure recently enacted is less than the
amount of largely preventable fire losses
This cost is not paid by those whose property
IL DESTROYED Everyone who carries an IN
surance policy helps to pay 1t. insurance
rates are computed on basis of risks. Inc
more carelessness, the greater the risks and
the heavier the rates. Therefore, better fire
prevention would be profitable to all owners
of nerishable property.
