Playing with Matches
(lank-ad Plata Doalar, 1
If one could imagine all the buildings de
stroyed By tire in tne united States in a year ar
ranged along one highway, each building occupy
ing a lot sixty-live feet wide, the highway would
extend from New York to Chicago, and the
' buildings would line it on each side. Such is
the calculation of the Department of the Interior.
Furthermore, a person traveling this scene of
desolation would pass in every thousand feet a
ruin from which an injured person had been taken.
At every three-quarters of a mile he would en
counter the remains of a human being who hid
been burned to death.
It is such facts as these, repeated year after
year, that led to the establiahment of Fire Preven
tion day in the United States a day on which
the thoughts of the American people are turned
. to the fearful waste of life ana property due to
the national habit of building flimsity and then
playing with matches.
The Chicago fire of 1871 stilt ranks ss Amer
ica's most destructive conflagration, and the anni
versary of that event, October 9, is now generally
accepted as the day for centering the thought of
the nation on the Heedlessness of such sacrifice.
By official proclamation Fire Prevention day is
called to the popular attention and its general
observance in some fitting fashion recommended.
For years, it is estimated, the amount of actual
property annually consumed by fire in this coun
try reaches $250,000,000. and another sum of about
like proportions is spent for the maintenance of
fire departments, water works, insurance pre
miums. etr to prevent still greater losses. It Is
a fearful penalty to pay for carelessness, but the
A .oi. ir,rn on paying it year after
year without serious complaint.
a v ...ore widespread 'tie observance of Fire
Prevention day the better the augury for a future
freed from the incubns of this tremendous annual
drain on the economic resources of the country,
Playing with matches as a national pastime has
continued no lorfg and so disastrously that the
desirability of stopping it should need no further
demonstration.
Democratic Promise and Performance.
Mr. Hughes began his second campaign tour
by, drawing a categorical comparison between the
promises of the democratic party, made in its
Baltimore platform, and its actual achievements
during the three years it has been in full control
of the government. The exhibition is necessarily
one of total failure to redeem pledges solemnly
made to the voters. The president's recent
speech of acceptance, in which be laid claim on
behalf of himself and his associates to having
fulfilled every promise made, is sorrily exposed
because of the extravagance of its claims, all
summed up in the one declaration that every
promise the democrats made has been redeemed.
The indictment drawn by Mr. Hughes is one
that will be understood by everjr voter. The
democratic party is before the country, seeking
to cover its record of broken promises and un
redeemed pledges by sweeping assertions and un
supported claims. . Waste and extravagance have
marked the course of the administration, where
retrenchment was promised; the merit system has
been betrayed by them, and offices have been
filled by "deserving democrats" regardless of fit'
ness) the cost of living has not been reduced;
rights of American citizens have not been pro
tected; the merchant marine has not been re
habilitated; the tariff was not efficiently reformed,
and so on down through the list
The appeal of the republican party, through
its Candidate, it to the reason and not to the pas
sions of the people. It offers its history of
achievement as contrasted with the story of fail'
ure of the democrats. A policy of construction
in lieu of experiment, and a stable government
instead of the shifting administration now com'
ing to an end. The choice is easy.
Full Inquiry Should Be Made.
A coroner's jury has returned a verdict cetv
suring fire company for failing to rescue a vie'
tim of a fire in a home. The chief of the fire it-
partment hotly resents the charge that any of
the men under his command would be guilty of
such neglect of duty. Omaha people will be loath
to believe that such cowardice could exist in. the
fire department. Our firemen have shown their
courage on many an occasion, have paid with
their lives for their devotion to duty, and have
always had the respect and confidence of the peo
ple, who rely on them for protection to homes
and property. : For these reasons the department
should net rest quietly under the aspersion of the
coroner's jury. The accused men are entitled to
a full hearing and a complete exoneration if
guiltless. The good name of the entire fire de
partment demands that a careful and complete
investigation be made, and without delay, that
the truth be determined.
Shame of "Watchful Waiting."
Our democratic friends are just now consid
erably wrought up over the prospect of emphasis
being laid on the effect of the Wilson policy of
"watchful waiting" in dealing with Mexico.
Whether or not the elaborate "movie" so gen
erously described by our amiable contemporary
is ever exhibited, the fact remains that its salient
features are based on real occurrences. The
shame of it is that the truth was known at Wash
ington, and was suppressed as far as possible by
the State department. Of course the president
had cognisance of what was going on in Mexico,
for he has access to the reports made to the State,
department
Protests and petitions alike, giving details of
unspeakable outrages committed by the Mexican
outlaws who paraded as revolutionists, with the
sanction of the president, were sent to Washing
ton, there to be pigeonholed, and no effort ever
made to redress the wrongs put on Americsn
citizens. It is not needed to add the shocking
treatment of Mexican women and children- to the
list. Enough of Americans suffered and were
denied relief. More Americans have been slain
in Mexico during the period of "watchful wait
ing" than fell in battle during the Spanish-Amer-,
ican war, And the only time any government
intervened to save them was when the German
and British took refugees from Tampico aboard
their ships in the harbor, after our efficient sec
retary of the navy had ordered the only American
warship available to proceed to Vera Cruz, vir
tually abandoning our citizens at Tampico to a
fate from which they were saved by European
sailors.
"Movies" are not needed to illuminate this
shameful chapter of American history. The peo
ple have the facts before them and will not likely
forget that this disgrace came upon us under a
democratic president.
Speed Up the Courts.
Our law courts are maintained for the service
of the people, and the expense of their mainte
nance is borne by the public. Therefore, the pub
lic has a direct interest in seeing that these im
portant institutions are administered with all due
efficiency and such expedition as will secure to
the litigants all of their rights. It does not show
well for the item of efficiency that a condition
such as is reported from the Douglas county
district court can exist. That judges, jurors,
bailiffs and clerks should be idle, their pay going
on, because attorneys are not prepared to try their
causes Is wasteful and requires correction, The
law's delay is frequently complained of, and many
plans for speeding up court procedure that justice
may be done and settlements be reached with due
Celerity hare been discussed. In this case the
cause for the delay might easily be discovered.
The judges have in their control a power that
could be invoked to the end that the waste of
public money be checked, and the business of
the courts be set under way. Will they apply it?
There is no more persistent booster of the
cause of the allies than 11. G. Wells, London
correspondent of American papers. Unlike most
correspondents, Mr, Wells wastes no time in de
scribing events that are making history, prefer
ring the' realm of prophecy to surface actualities.
From his lofty mental station he foresees peace
in Europe next June, being satisfied that the allies
by that time will have the central powers beg
ging for mercy. It Is all worked out with scien
tific accuracy. However, as the prophet leaves
the fighting and the strategy to others there it
the ever present danger of the prophetic program
rupturing a tire. '
Informal calculations on the cost of the eight
hour law to the railroads lifts the sum from the
$50,000,000 estimate of the managers to $100,000,
000 by the experts. An all-around freight raise
of 2'A per cent is deemed necessary to foot the
bill. Slipping the bill down the line is a matter
of some detail, but it is sure to get the consum
ers' goat. The public, and partcularly the farmer,
must foot the bill.

How the Germans Face Death
Friti Area Warner la Lealiea-
When night came something unusual appeared
in the trenches, something the men had never
seen, but had heard of; ' Flame-throwers I Well,
this time we will give them a hot time I" re
marked the men, wno were angered bcause the
French had been firing on the dead comrades.
That the flame-throwers meant something we
knew at once, and that something was that we
were going to attack. Mine-throwers were also
made ready, and about 10 o'clock the order passed
from man to man, whispered like the greatest
oecret: "Keep ready!" Those men were not
afraid. They knew what it meant to attack, to
run, perhaps, into the muzzle of a machine gun
or to be shattered by a hand grenade. Still, was
there not for a moment a strange feeling in each
breast? To be frank, were the hearts not beat
ing faster? Yes, and thoughts went home.
Addresses of parents and relatives were given by
one comrade to another, cards were written in
a hurry. All that passed had the serene calm
ness of a religious ceremony. Some looked to
the east, where two small hands were, perhaps,
at that moment, clasped in prayer for them;
where a loving mother or fiancee was waiting.
"Shall I see her again?" In how many minds
was that thought as we 'waited I
Death was lurking behind the sand bags to
grasp the first who would jump. over. Ohl he
would do good work amidst the seventh com
pany, but he was not in a hurry for this rich
harvest of young, hopeful souls. We waited long
for the sign that started the mine-throwers to
toss up about ten 200-pound mines. They heaved
up against the sky, then came down with a fire
tail, like a falling star, and with a terrible crash
exploded, bringing death and ruin. Before the
first mines reached the French trenches one heard
the sound of a trumpet blown by the French
outpost to warn his comrades that the mines
were comingl After the mines had demolished
the French trenches and shelters the flame
throwers advanced, to be followed by the infantry,
but the French must have been expecting them,
for an artillery fire started and four of the ad
vancing flame-throwers were annihilated before
they could begin their death-dealing work. The
French artillery hampered the German infantry,
and the attack failed. Two of the flame-throwers
escaped and came back. The nervous tension of
the comrades had been useless. Death had spared
them, and they thanked bod I
"Help helpl" one cried. One of the men
started in the direction from which the call came.
Close to the French line a man of the flame
throwers was lying, writhing in his pain. When
the German sanitary corporal made a movement
to leave the trench to get his comrade, French
steel helmets moved behind the sand bags and
fists with hand grenades were raised in warning.
To leave the trench to get the wounded man
meant death to the corporal, So one went back
to ask for the Red Cross flag and a man speaking
French asked, with the flag in his hand, whether
the French would allow him to rescue the
wounded man. A moment of silence and then:
"Oiul Oiul" The men shouted their thanks and
waving their helmets, brought their wounded
comrade to the dressing station. A human
glimpse in this bloody struggle I
During the whole night the wounded man had
been exposed to heavy shell fire and the four
attacks the French had made passed over him.
He was all burned, body, face and hands, had a
bullet through his foot, and had not had a drop
of water. His uniform had to be cut off. The
story of his rescue circulated in the trenches andl
the men at once torgot about the trench tiring

Bryan to the Rescue
St. Loula tllobo-OoouKimt. "
The democratic party managers kept Mr.
Bryan out of Maine, realizing that the spell' of
this name was not very potent in the Pine Tree
state. Results showed that they might as well
have used him. Things could not have gone much
worse for the democrats. But he is to be used
now. 'The character of the censorship to be
placed on his speeches has not been announced.
But it is easy to speculate as to some of the for
bidden themes. He will not talk of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the heaven-born
ratio of sixteen to one without waiting for the
consent of any other nation. He will not expa
tiate on his guaranty of bank deposits nostrum.
He will not likely raise his ancient bogey of
"militarism," which he used when the nation
contemplated increasing its army until there
would be one soldier for every 800 of the popula
tion. He cannot even advance his doctrine of
limiting one corporation to a fixed percentage of
the entire business in that line, for the president
now professes to have no objections to the mere
size of any business. He will doubtless be asked
not to repeat his recent statement that the new
tariff commission is designed only "to please a
certain element and afford an excuse for delay
in changing the Underwood rates." Naturally
he will not stress the single-term pledge of the
Baltimore platform, by which he set such store in
1912. He cannot, without stultification, defend
the army and navy appropriations, but he will re
frain from assailing them. The only subjects he
can discuss with utmost freedom are the income
and corporation taxes and his so-called peace
treaties. The new revenue bill pleases him, espe
cially in its exemption of the chautauquas from
the tax on places of amusement. He may throw
light on why his peace treaties did not provide
for a modus vivendi during the "year's cooling
time," which might be continued into a heating
time by continuing violations of our rights. This
is about the only subject on which he could throw
tight, for Mr, Bryan is famed more as a noise
maker than as a light-bearer. But perhaps there
is a small percentage of voters affected by noise
and the democrats need every vote they can get
to make any showing at all.

THE OLD HEN NEVER

Kansas City Journal.
The braggart 1 a dapper dunce,
A "sho.ty" aa to brains;
The plumbing of his mortal houstj

The gas escapes, and gos to waste.

Until the egg la laid.
The braggadocio's a fowl
A foolish fowl at beat
If she expects to hatch a brood,
While wandering from her nest,
Tou cannot evolute a goose
That thus will masquerade
The old hen never cackles, air,
Until the egg; la laid.
The self -eiplot ting egotist,
Who blows his big tin horn,
Before hla schemes materialise,
Before his deeds are born.
Is like the coward uniformed,
August on dresti parade
The old hen never cackles, air,
Until the egg la laid.
