State Fire Prevention Day, Frlthiy, November 3, 116
It is much more economical to keen a Are out than to put it out after
It has onee started. Fire must always have something to feed upon and
the more inflammable the material upon which It feeds, the more dangerous
it becomes. The Fire Commissioner has issued his annual tall to the peo
ple and has sounded the alarm. The disposition of people in regard to this
matter Is like it Is In many others, putting off until tomorrow the thinps
that should be done today. We have been prompting the people to bo care
ful to remove heaps and piles of rubbish that have been accumulating elur
ing the summer months. It would be more rational and sensible to prevent
the accumulation. Our public officials are many times criminally negligent
in the duty they owe the community in the matter of fire prevention. A
nlle of inflammable rubbish is a greater menace to life and property than
are thieves and pickpockets. Everyone should see to it that they are not
harboring either of these which are enemies of the public welfare.
TlIEUErOKE. as Governor or the State, I wisli to impress the neces
sity of paying strict attention to what has been set forth In the statement of
the State Fire Commissioner, and ask that a hearty co-operation on the par!
of officials and people in every city, town and hamlet in the state. Am
that the teachers of our public schools do all they can to instruct th youth
in matters hereia ref.-rrc'l to a.id tne-reLy create a titron,er sentiment in re
gard to preventing destructive tiros.

NTATirWKNT OF FIRK COMMIS
SI ON Kit
The Nebraska legislature of 1911
enacted a law designating the first
Friday of November as State Fire
Prevention Day. The purpose of this
law is to Interest the citizens of the
state in the matter of conserving life
and property from destruction by-fire.
The United States loses $250,000,-
000 annually and Nebraska suffer a
loss of about $2,000,000 every year
from fire. Fully two-thirds of this
amount is a needless unnecessary
waste of constructed resources, and
could be saved If our people were ed
ucated up to the importance of the
ma'ter of preventing tires.
Our citizenship generally takes l.t
tle or no interest in the ways and
means of preventing lires. When a
building is destroyed by tire it is
looked upon as an unavoidable mis
fortune, but in many cases it is
avoidable. A little care and precau
tion might have prevented it. Every
day we read in the newspapers or
disastrous tires being caused by
children with matches, bonfires, de
fective chimneys, overheated stoves,
etc., etc. After investigation in
many cases the Fire Commission de
partment linds that "gross careless
ness" Is the direct cause of a great
nnuib'-r of tires.
The average layman (,in s not slop
to realize that every lire less is a di
rect irrecoverable lop- to the com
munity. Insurance doe.-; rot replace
the damaged property; it merely col-!
lefts from the policyholders collect-',
lvely to pay or indemnify tne Individ-1
ual having a tire. The p s-ses from
tire constitute an absolute waste and,
are a drain upon the wealth of our
nation. Civic pride should prompt
our people to interest themselves i 1
rediieiiig tire losses to a h ininiu.n.
It was with the above purpose in
Ii.inel that our slate legislature cre
ated the office of sia'e t.re commis
sioner and set axil. a day each year
to be observed in a special manner:
along tire prevention lines. While
we ob.ierve the Fourth of July each
year as a national holiday in com
memoration of our national inde
pendence we practice every d::y of,
the year acts of loyalty and patriot
ism 'tor our country, i-o while the
tlrst Friday of November is set aside
for special' observance or lire preven
tion principles we should practice
and study tire prevention method
every day during the entire year. ,
, We trust that the interest and on
Ithusuism manifested in tue observ
ance of Fire Prevention Day on Nov
ember 3 will keep each community
alert in reducing tire losses during
the coming year.

it which time an agreement w.n
made covering three years between
I lie publishers and the union.
While other newspapers belong to
;he organization of publishers In
tlii-t pet-lion of the state, they are not
affected because of th fact that the
: .hops are smaller and employ less
men. This will give the men an
eight-hour day Instead of a nine
hour day, as at present. Because of
the fact' that practically all of the
shops are paying more than the un
ion scale of wages at the present
time, it will make no difference in
the amount of wages paid. The
shops which desire will have the
privilege of using the union label on
printing turned out, if they sign the
union-label contract.
The Bridgeport News-Blade, in
speaking of the unionizing of the
shops, said as follows In Its Issue of

men and learns for this day and have
them go around and haul the rubbish
from business houses and homes free
of charge. This would not cost the
city or village much and would make
it an incentive for the citizens to
clean up their yards, uttics and cel
lars. Commercial Clubs and Women's
Clubs could do a great ileal in assist
ing this good work. They could
name delegations from among their
members to visit different districts
and work up an active campaign for
fire prevention.
The fire chiefs throughout the
state are the men who really know
ami understand the importance of
this work. They have incidents ev
ery day of the flagrant carelessness
of our people regarding fire dangers.
The fire chief should appoint as
many men as possible to make an in

If any citizen refuses to comply with
the orders given locally, notify this
ollice and we will send one of our in

employee cannot be blamed, for be
naturally must get as much as he
can for his labor. The employers
cannot be blamed for organizing to
resist the increase In cost of labor,
for there Is always more or Icbs dlf
ttculty experienced in raising prices
on nroducts to meet the Increased
cost of nroductlon.
As a matter of fact. If thcte is any
blame to be placed at all which we
seriourlv doubt It will lie with the
public at large. The public demands
more nnd more every year In the
way of service. What the ordinary
man in me country now oeinunun m
a necessity would have been consid
ered by him as extravagance a few
I years ago. The farmer demands
better roads, better stores and bet
ter newspapers. The town with the
I best roads mnnlng Into it gets the
most trade. The elevator man who
has the easiest and quickest way of
unloading his customer's grain gen
eral'y gets the most business. The
merchant who has the most cheerful
store building, who kee ps the best
variety of goods and who advertises
in the most attractive way. gets the
lion's share of the profits. How
! many farmers would think of living
almost entirely upon the products of
his own farm as he did a few years
ago? How many will even be will-
i ing to "shack along" to town behind
a team of bronchos?
Co Into the freight depot of any
town nnd see whnt proportion of
goods being shipped are real neces
sities. Carry this Investigation into
every line as far as you have the op
portunity and see what proportion of
material and labor people are paying
for is actually necessary to comforta
ble living. The result of this In-
' creasing demand for more and bet
ter service every year is that a vast
industrial system has been built up
in which labor hns become the most
.vital part and has become indlapcns
ible. Therefore, the cornering of
this great necessity, labor, has not
been hard to accomplish through un
ionism. locally, union labor has been
found a benefit. Towns that are li 11
, ed up with railroad employees or
other classes of well-paid union la
bor are always good business towns
and always afford the best markets
'for the products of the farms. In
quire Into prices paid for farm pro
duce in different towns, if you doubt
this. Where high prlceB for labor
and high prices for farm products
prevail, there is always prosperity.
So long as we have high-priced
: wheat, corn, cattle and labor, too, if
! you please, we need not worry about
I anything except a policy which Is de
signed to destroy these conditions;
i and none of us would want to go
; back to the old days when Coxey's
armies inarched, as they did in
Cleveland's time, and when stagna
tion of business brooded like a dark
cloud over the entire country. In
i those days there was no labor prob
I lern. for there was no work for the
' employee and no profits for the employer.
