km NEGLECT /BY PREVEN- TION. G _ The matter of fire prevention is one of great seriousness in every city and it grows in importance in accordance ; -l WAN - Cxine | 4. wg;-lsnofa.mnn)dpdlty. How to 4 3 -5 Imc ; -—— 2 st g€t the most . jeffective observance | thereof has given much concern to city_authorities. There are those who recognize and assume the responsi- bility but there are others, as oeca- sions frequently bring to Hght. who fail to give, either through deliberate inattention or carelessness, the least thought to such a matter either for the Protection of themselves and property or for the safety.of others. For the purpose of overcoming such a dangerous tendency there was urged before a conference of the mayors and city authorities of New York state, the enactment of a law which would make the owner of premises where a fire occurred Iltable for the cost of put- ting it out and also for injuries to firemen in process provided ‘it could be shown that such owner had not observed the legal requirements for the safety of his property. This sug- gestion came from J. O. Hammitt, chief of the fire prevention bureau of New York city, whose experiences in such cases, where property owners fail to accept the suggestions from the authorities but realize the value there- of_too late, is the same, though much greater, as that of heads of fire departments in every city. Such a law would force the owner to the precaution and vigilance which he neglects and if preventive measures are going to render the service of which they are capable some such method of forcing attention thereto is Iikely to e delayed to no very dis- tant Qate.- The prevention of fires, not the collection thereafter, is the real purpose of such a law.

It is the same story as that of Connecticut, where the legislature plunges wildly ahead regardless of the constantly increasiag difference . be- It was only a few years ago that Connecticut was withoat debt, but it now faces an indebtedness of seven ‘million ‘and Food prospects of a regular state tax uinless different consideration is given| to the conduct of state business. The condition of the finances should be fixed in the minds of the legislators the very opening of a legisla~ tive and be the guide for the making of appropriations. Unless such e watch is kept upon the treasury the highest service cannot be rendered. Debdt and taxes will pile up without much help, but it is in keeping them down and still giving consideration to the needs of the state that the great- est service is rendered AUTHORITIES TOO “LADYLIKE” ‘When as an excuse for striking down en art gallery attendant with an axe an English militant declared ‘we have been too ladylike,” it was an expres- sion ‘which might better hWwve come from the authorities. Militantism has been started and increased for a pur- pose,, namely, the advertising of the cause which has been far more effec- tively set before the people of other countries through educationsl means: 1t has gone from bad to worse until It has reached the point where even the toleration which it has received is bound to he stopped before long. Throughost the wave of crime which has been crested by the leaders of the movement the authorities have en- | @eavered to bitax it as little into the limelight as poumthle. They have done thelr utswst to prevent the making of martyrz but it Is a cuestion, with the burning of ol3 and historic! churehes, the sleshing of valuable art} treagures and the contempt for the lives and rights of others, whether ! such a posttion can long be maintain- i .a.fin must be doustful whether any | such martyrdom would mean any great | advan to the suffrage movement.' Rather have the disgraceful efforts of | the past strengthened the belief that those people should be dealt with n | accordance with the law as any othér criminal. Their whole plan has been ome of deliberate devastation from whish they have relied upon the hun- ger strike to free them. They have not only set back their own cause but m:m It is time for the lish euthorities to, announce that thetr “ladylike” enforcement of the law in the past has been aban- doned and henceforth all must pay the penalty alike, hunger strike or not. UNCERTMN MEXIQO. From the very outset the Mexican question has been filled? with uncer- tainties, No sooner has one point been 00! lered in a fair way to a settle- it than it has involved other mat- ters, stirred up opposition in the op- posing force or been flatly , turned and Much interest {s now manifested over the answer which Carranza will i the trolley ‘that the former sacrificed himself for which has just been reported favorably by the joint committee in congress which has been investigating this sub- fect. Clalms of all kinds have been made concerning the inadequate com- pensation under the present method of Weighing the mails once in four years and establishing thereby the rates for the entire perfod regardless of the in- crease. This has received increased grounds for complaint since the in- auguration of parcel post has de- creased the amount of express matter and placed it under the mail contract by which the rallroads carry an in- creased amount of matter with less return, If the committee has determined upon a system whereby the grievance can be straightened out and the gov- ernment receive and give honest treat- ment thers will be cause for satisfac- tion. It is more than likely that there are inequalities upon both sides which can be adfusted, but it has long been obvious that a method of getting at the proper compensation for transpor- tation of the mail exists which is preferable to the prevailing one. It is but right that the. government should do business in the way which it requires other corporations to and not force transportation companies to carry the mail at a loss simply be- cause sthe government is concerned. ‘A basis for payment which is fair for 'all concerned is but right and just and if the committee has secured it there should be no great delay in its adoption, EDITORIAL NOTES.
