A notable and gratifying decrease in the fire waste of this country is recorded in the footinge of fire losses for the year 1915. The aggregate loss, as compiled by the Insurance Press, is $172,671,100, a reduction of $49,000,000 from the total losses of 1914 by millions of any year in the ten-year period and has been surpassed by only one year since 1903, With the exception of localities where munition factories are operating under high pressure, the loss reduction {is fairly even throughout the country, and Omaba's meager record of $317,000 is typical of most cities Publicity, education and increasing safe- guards arve largely responsible for the showing. States through fire wardens and fire prevention days are proving effective educational agencies in preventing fire waste, and cities contribute & generous share of public revenue in maintain- fng fire departments for protection. Encour: ing as the results are, the footings for last year would be largely reduced, if not cut in two, by eliminating carelessness as a fire hazard.

Prof. Blayney tries to excuse the president on the theory that he is not correctly informed and prefers to put the responsibility on ‘‘the short-sightedness and excess of zeal shown by the administration at Manila in making a record such as they might wish to make at home after a political up- heaval,” but he quotes the opinion of Americans and Britons, met in India, China and Japan, a without exception deploring the hasty “Filipi- nizing" of the service, together with a declara- tion “that to transfer our own advanced theories of democratic government to.an inexperienced people just emerging from a period of almost medieval darkness, would be little short of criminal.” Unfortunately, Prof. Blayney's charitable exculpation of the president from responsibility i# not borne out by the insistence of the admin- istration upon the so-called “Jones bill,"" now revamped but slightly modifed, but with new sponsors, He voices the feeling of Americans and forelgners in tho islands, as well as himself, that this measure should not go further than declaring it to be “the intention to grant inde- pendence to the Philippine islands as soon as in the judgment of congress it is deemed to the best Interests of the Islands and of the United States to do s0.¥ A statement of this kind, he eays, letting the Filipinos know that we are not on the point of cutting them adrift, or about te leave them to the tender mercy of the un- scrupulous native spoilsmongers, would ‘“do more to clear !ht- unhealthful ’atmosphere of un- certainty and 'misapprehension exigting at Manila and to preclude unprofitable discussion than anything that has occurred since - the change of administration.” The Beo heartlly commends those Interested in the future of the Philippines to read Prof. Blayney's article in full before accepting the dis- torted representations put forth in defense of the demonstrated democratic administrative ceficlencies. Under the new Richard Scannell, Richard Scannell, late bishop of the Catholic diocese of Nebraska, was a figure of prominence in church work. Born in Ireland, with no silver spoon in his mouth, he made his way by his own industry to a place of eminence, His life was involved In little of undue publicity, and he pur- sued his calling with quiet energy. He came to Omaha at a time of deep trouble for his denomi- nation, but by his wisdom and prudence he weathered the stress and maintained the affaire of his diocese at a high standard. Vigorous in the management of clerical affalrs, he brought to the church its share of the general prosperity of the community. The Omaha parishes, eepecially, have developed under his guldance, and a new cathedral edifice, well on its way to completion, stands as a monument to his con- structive capacity. Strict in upholding and ap- plylng church discipline, he was broad enough to recognize the progress of the world around him, and with his mind abreast the advance of thought, his messag to his people being seasoned always with wholesoige advice and pru- dent restraint. Richard Scannell was a chupch- man and a citizen whose example and influence were for good, Proving Up on Explorers. Two American travelers, just home from the Brazilian wilds, report having penetrated the Amazonian forest as far as the "River of Doubt," and confirm, so far as they investigated, the .‘nrcounu given by the Roosevelt party. This should serve to dispel any doubt that might have lingered as to the existence of that river. A , | common fate of modern explorers has been to have their statements of discoveries questioned. Once the people were ready to believe anything, and imagination far outran kmowledge. Since the time Marco Polo and Prester John regaled astonished Europe with thelr tales of adventure and discovery the reverse has been true, and the explorer has had to prove up on his yarns or suffer. One of the many eminent modern exam- ples of this was that of Paul Du Challlu, whe | went into the unknown interior of Africa in the early 'T0s and brought back accounts of a race of pigny men and of a new specles of ape, more terrible than any then known, and called the worilla. He was met with scepticism and scorn, end it was publicly alleged he had never been fifty miles from the coast, Later, Heary M.

For proof, let me refer to the success of the American Thermos Bottie company, which Is the concern which won Dave O'Brien away from us last year, by giving this space to a free ad contained in the following Information and comment taken from the publication known as “Commerce and Finance:" “Shareholders of the American Thermos Bottle company have recelved.checks to cover dividend No. 9 of $3.60 per share on the $1,000,000 capital stock. The company started a few years ago with a cash work- Ing capital of $30,000, of which 815,000 was necessary to equip its first small plant in Brooklyn. The re- maining $,000 was Invested in five full page adver- tisements in five leading New York aatties. ““The company, through accumulated profits, has expended close to $1,000,000 in publicity, creating the habit of use for their product.

Mr. Morgan was a broad church- man, but whether he would agree with Dr. Manning that the Panama conference Is not really in the Interest of church unity it is impossible to say.
