This represents ths of a million a month loss damage to property without taking into comsideration the additional losses result from reduction or curtail- of produetion, the stopping of Wwages and the cutting down of profits. Perhaps the more interesting state- ent in this connection, however, Is hat out of that loss last year investi- gation shown that fires at which the losses totalled over three million could have been prevented and were due to carelessmess. That brings to light a state of affairs which ought to arouse the public to a greater consideration of portance of eliminating this waste. res are started through careless- ness the losses that follow represent a waste just as much as if a - similar smount of money had been-thrown into the sea. After it s over it is useless to cry. The milk has been spilt but every in- stance where a little attention would have overcome this waste should stand out as a danger signal agalnst being a party 8 similar results, The fact that such losses can be avoided should be a sufficient reason for making all possible efforts to accomplish it, and it certainly warrants the campaign of education which is cdnstantly being carried on throughout the country for this very purpose.

It is not to be supposed that all the preventable fires Will be checked before That is an excellent geal but it is not likely to be gained, or at least night right away. That it can be approached much closer than it is there; can be no question and with a recog- nition of the fact that a dollar saved is; a dollar earned the objection is certain- ly worthy of the effort that may be re- quired. And it is well to remember that all the preventable fires are not in Massachusetts. WHERE THE PEQPLE WILL STAND. President Wilson is again making a strenuous plea for the adoption of the league of -nations and seeks of .course == | the election of Governor Cox of Ohio to accomplish that end. He is making the same fight that he has “been making ever since he returned from Paris. The president maintdins that the po- sition taken by opponents pf the league regarding whit the league will force us to do, especially the claim that it would m it possible for other nations to lead us into war, is false, There are those of recognized ability ~whé differ with him, taking the practical Tather than the idealistic view of the situation and instead of displaying a willingness to change that portion which - raises loubts in tiie iminds of a.great number of the people of the eeuntry, there has an insistence that the treaty be ratified as presented. Had there been a ngness to accept changes, or had ®lthe democratic members of the Senate n! ed their own minds tje auestion e of mations would not be be- tain that the covenant does mnot mean what some claim it does but it is inter- esting to note in explaining such that they refer not to the particular clause of covenant as it was brought from e but to some one of the reserva- to have sccured ratification in soms it is most unlikely that his con- nued stand on the question is going to infiuence the country to Which the mat- s now referred.
