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 had been burned to death. It is such facts as these, repeated year after year, that led to the establishment of Fire Preven- tion day in the United States—a day on which the thoughts of the American rople are turned to the fearful waste of life and property due to the national habit of building flimsily and then ph*ing with matches. he Chicago fire of 1871 still ranks as Amer ica’s most destructive conflagration, and the anni- versary of that event, October 9, is now generally gc pted as the day for centering the thought of : e nation on the needlessness 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 annvally consumed by fire in this coun- fll 50,000,000, and another sum of about rtions is spent for the maintenance of fire departments, water works, insurance pre. mj&:. ete, to prevent .ufi’ greater losses.

THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNI | | How the Germans Face Death I Fritz Arno Wagner in Leslies 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 he 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 every 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- nessy 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 ¢andidate, is 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 cen- suring a fire company for failing to rescue a vic- tim of a fire in a home. The chief of the fire de- 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 not 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 cognizance 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 American citizens. It is not needed to add the shocking treatment of Mexican women and childrern 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, Qur 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 see¢ing 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 cah cxist. 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 have been discugsed. 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 w Will they apply it? There is no more persistent booster of the cause of the allies than H. 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 is 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 ralse of 214 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. 1) | made big money and leit a big roll When night came something unusual appeared in the trenches, something the men had never seen, but had heard of: “Flame-throwers! Well, this time we will give them a hot time!” 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 secret:~ “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! Death was lurking behind the sand bags to grasp the first who would jump, over. Oh! he would do good work amidst the seventh com- any, but he was not in a hurry for this rich arvest 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 coming! 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 God! “Help—help!” one cried. One of the men started in the direction from which the call came. Cloge 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: “Oiu! Oiu!” The men shouted their thanks and waving their helmets, brought their wounded comrade to the dressing station, A human glimpse in this bloody struggle! 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 and_| the men at once forgot about the French firing on the dead comrades. ;)h, they were all kind- hearted boys! Bryan to the Rescue St. Louis Globe-Democrat. 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 laced on his speeches has not been announced. ut 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 limitipg one corporation to a fixed percentage of the éntire 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 abqut the only subject on which he could throw light, 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. People and Events One Detroit auto manufacturer, whose name is withheld, boosted the Methodist ministers’ pen- sion fund last week by a check for $600,000. Don't bother about the name. Good deeds are registered in the right place. Lady Eglantine, the famous egg-laying cham- pion, is dead. In the lay-day of her active life she rolled up a score of 315 eggs in a year, and each egg brought the owner §10. Wasn't she a lady? The owner's grief is too deep for words. A Philadelphia labor agent is reported pulling down big money, estimated at $100 a day, hiring workmen for local industries, receiving 25 cents a day for each worker supplied\and sticking to the job. Demand exceeds the supply and price moves up to the premium point. The Utah law fixing minimum wages for women threatens to spoil the happiness of several third-class postmasters. State authorities insist the Nasbys are subject to the law and cannot dodge the penalty by pleading federal jurisdiction. A test case against the postmaster at Pleasant Grove is moving in the courts. A movement for the erection of a memorial to the valor of colored troops in the United States army is gaining headway at Washington. Backers of the project,,both white and colored, show by the army record “brave and often con- spicuous service rendered by colored troops in many American wars,” which are worthy of recog- nition in a national memorial, “The largest undertaker on earth” .in a busi- ness sense, William Necker of Union Hill, N. J., has arrived at the destination whither he piloted unnumbered involuntary patrons. Undertaker Necker was a rare New Jersey institution. His chief aim in life was to popularize death and dem- onstrate to heirs the importance of saving money by investing in his superior wearables at low prices. He played the cut-price game alone, smeared the billboards with cut-rate literature and lost social standing with the trade. But he | daughter of Mr. s TODAY Thought Nugget for the Day.
