The equivalent of $5,000 Is destroyed by

each year from fire will average about

cost of tire prevention does not cost to
exceed $50,000, In the entire nation.
We believe that c,very city and town
In the state should pay more Attention
to fire prevention and I wish to stig
gest to tho mayors, and city, councils
throughout the state: That they employ
from one to four men (depending upon
the size of the city or town), at least
twice a year to make a thorough In
spectlon of their cities and towns, and,
where defects at-e found and parties re
fuse to correct them, they report those
who refuse to do so to the mayor of
their respective towns and to the state
fire commission's office, at Lincoln, and
would suggest, to the fire commissioners
of Omaha, South Omaha and Lincoln
that they select one man from each
flro station or district whose dutlos shall
consist of Inspecting and causing defects
to be removed and report to tho cap
tains of Mild stations and to the office
ot the state flro commissioner.

are reported as "cause unknown" should
receive more cnreful attention from mo
fire chiefs and special deputy Inspectors

Three hundred prospective voters were
still waiting patiently In line before Elec
tion Commission Moorhcad's office at 9
o'clock Saturday night In order that they
might register In lime to vote at the
special gas franchise election August 19.
Although three hours were left of the
day In which voters might register for
the special election on the gas fran
chise, tho commissioner closed tho
doors In' the faces ot hundreds.
Saturday was the last opportunity to
register and be allowed to vote at the
gaa election, and all who had neglected
to fulfill the requirements of the law
rushed to the court house to get in un
der the wire.
Commissioner Moorhead had seventeen
clerks busily engaged In registering the
citizens and had moved a desk out Into
the open court In front of his office to ,
facilitate the registration and make room ,
for all those who were unable' to crowd
their way into the office.
Grent Uah Hnturday.
The registration during the last few
daya haw been heavier than at any other
time since the new election law went
Into effect. Over 122 registered Friday,
and Mr. Moorhead estimates that over
2,000 registered Saturday. Due to the
crowded conditions that existed ut the
court house and the Insufficient supply
of clerks, many citizens, who wished to
register in order that they might vote
at the coming election, turned away
because they lacked the time to stand
in line and take their turn.
Mr. Moorhead finally found It neces
sary to order his subordinates to ad
minister the oath to more than one voter
at a time. This simplified matters
giratly' and allowed n large number to
tcglster, when otherwise they would, have
been unable.
Mr. Moorhead estimates the total regis
tration at over 1C.O0O. City Commissioner
Butler suggested to Mr. Moorhead that
he would be able to register Voters more
quickly and more conveniently if ho
wouhl place tables In the court, but Mr.
Moorhead was unable to plaoe more than
the one counter and two clerk outside.

At a meeting of the Polish votsre of

Twentyrnlnth street, the following reso
lution was adopted and ordered lent to
The Uee for publication:
Whereas, Election Commissioner Moor
head hg treated the voters of our county
who were born In other countries In such
a way as to show dislike for them ami
their sworn statements;
Whereas, He has In a mean way used
his power to make It hard for them tu
vote and has refused to do the smallect
thing to help them;
Whereas, He seems to think he knows
more and Is better than anybody who
was not born In this country;
Wherlas, He turns some of our people
away from the registration office or lets
them register according to how he hap
pens to feel at the time:
Whereas, The election commissioner
has been unjust and unfair In tho ar-
run ir i merit nf tht votlni? ril.tHnt. whpM
'the foreign-born make their homes, com
pelling tnem to go long distances, .men
more than a mile to vote, and to :ron
railroad tracks, endangering their lives;
Whereas, There has been only one day
for registration In the home districts. a
that men who do not speak the English
language well and did not learn of thit
dav In time are really disfranchised, be
cause they labor ten hours a day at their
work ana are unaDie 10 ;o 10 me court
house without loso of time and wagec.
which these families cannot afford:
Whereas, Not over one-tlfth of the foreign-born
voters were familiar with poll
tics and understood about the registration
oay in the precincts and four-fifths weto
really disfranchised;
Whereas. Election Commissioner Moor
head's officers have seen fit to buPdoze
and abuse foreign-born vtrs. who louIiI
not explain the real condition of Mielr
naturalization papers, both In the election
districts and at the court house;
W hereas. The commissioner has claimed
his mean treatment of foreign-born toters
v. as to prevent fraud, although everyoody
knows our people are as good citizens ay
any in the country;
Whereas, Although In many districts
the rrja'orlty ot voters were norn in jio
hemia, Poland, Italy, Germany or othei
foreign countries, and although they
have asked for representation on tho
election board, so as to be able to explain
election matters to their own people and
answer questions, they have' been flatly
refused by tho ejection commissioner;
Whereas, Tho foreign-born element of
our country are true American citizens
taxpayers ana most or tnem nara-tvoric-lng
people, who pay their way and have
not committed any election trauds, such
as the election commissioner accuses
them of; therefore, be It
Kesolved, That we desire to express our
appreciation of Judge English In his
broad-minded decision upholding the
rights of forelgn-boni voters, which the
arbitrary rulings of Election Commis
sioner Moorhead had denied.

The national association of Audubon o
cletles Is strenuously endeavoring to
bring about the passage of legislation
that will prevent the extermination of
birds for use In the millinery trade. Tho
efforts ot the societies In th varlou
states havo been attended by success,
but a federal law Is advocated and coir
grcss has been Influenced to a sufficient
extent to have voted a taw restricting the
Importation of feathers. Efforts are be
lng made to revise, the work of the so
clety In Omaha.
Almost every state In the union has
passed lawn for the protection of non
game birds and nil states havo laws ro
gardlng gume fowl. Nebraska Is one of
eight states In which no law protects
them.
Ever since mtlltnors experimented with
plumage of birds on hats, prices that aro
exorbitant have been paid those who wilt
deliver plumes and feathers of beautiful
birds. As a result, every Mrd whos
plumage Is ot value Is being rapidly ex
terminated. Buch beautiful unci Inter
estlng birds as the egret, the unique lyre
bird and tho sea gull and tho tern, havo
been practically wiped out of- existence.
Untitles nnil Crnel.
The process of the plume hunter
cruel In the extreme. Wherever th
plume hunter works he leaves a trail ot
maimed and wounded birds that Is ex
ccuslve and revolting. He employs na
lives in wild and savage countries and
the savage, because he lacks weapons,
frequently tears feathers and wings from
wounded birds while his victim Is still
alive. They leave crippled birds to die
of starvation, unable to respond to the
frantic calls of their helpless young I
tho nests above.
A concrete example of tho horrors
plume hunting Is the helnlous raid of
band of Japanese, employed by u Oermun
adventurer, In an Albatross rolony that
was protected by the United States gov
ernment. The Jaus killed 25V.000 bird
before they were detected and arrested
Many of the birds wera so fat that the
plume hunters fen red the oil on the skins
would Injure the plumes; for this rea
son they confined the birds ullve until
tho helpless creatures starved to death.
Tentaulcn Extend Kvrr) where.
The ten tu den of the plumage trade ex
tend from Loudon and Paris into every
land, evtn loto America. During the
last six years seventy-five prominent
milliners ot Massachusetts hove been
prosecuted for the sale of plumage of na
tive blids.
A bill prohibiting tho Importation of
plumes was suggested to congress and
the house of representatives passed the
bill. But tho democratic majority In the
senate has responded to the wishes ot
tho millinery trade and amended tho
clause so that only egrets and white
herons are protected. If the senate falls
to recede from Its position, the only re
source Is to appeal to the committee of
conference. The Association uf Audubon
Societies Is now at work endeavoring to
convince the senate and also the confer
ence committee to talio action that will
maintain the original proviso as passed
by the house of representatives.
