FIRE FIGHTING
NATIONAL CONSERVATIVE COM
MISSION GATHERS DATA ON
EXPENSES AND MANNER
CONDUCTING SAFEGUARD.
OF
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. The
National Conservation commission Is
trying to find out what it costs the
country to fight flres. The geological
surrey, which is conducting this par
ticular branch of inquiry for the
commission is sending out letters to
city officials all over the country ask
ing for data on the additional cost
of city water supplies for Are protec
tion bey,ond what Is necessary for
domestic use. This information will
ho combined with other statistics of
a similar nature to throw light on
the general topic of the conserva-
tfo'n of life and property through the
prevention of flres, for the uso of
tho commission whon it meets here
In December to proparo Its report for
President Roosevelt.
The fact that tho investigations of
tho commission have reached a point
where such detailed information is
being sought is an indication of the
substantial progress of its prelimi
nary work. For a time, perhaps, the
mon who undertook to prepare an
inventory of tho country's present
natural wealth and the outlook for
tho fnturo feared that tho task was
going to prove too gigantic for them
to flnlBh in timo to submit to the
first full meeting of tho commission,
December 1. But they say now there
Is no donbt that they will place in
tho hands of tho commission aprac
tlcally complete inventory upon
which that body can base its further
studies and recommendations.
This city flre-flghtlng system in
vestigation Is part of a general study
of tho conservation of life and prop
erty. Tho commission is compiling
an immense amount of accurate in
formation concerning the naturo and
extent of loss of Hfo and property
from flres, tho cost of Insurance,
water systems and flro departments,
and the possibility of provontlng flro
through the uso of fire-resisting
building matorials and of flro-proof-ing
systems, and tho desirability of
changes In building system s. The
lotters which aro going out now ask
for figures on tho total cost of oach
city's present distributing system,
with the amount of pipe laid and tho
number of hydrants, and the cost of
the system and materials that would
bo required if tho necessity for flro
sorvico were omitted and only a
domestic supply wore needed. Such
cities as havo a separato high-pressure
flro system, or contemplate
Installing ono, can givo actual figures
of tho cost of fighting flres; for
othors tho expense can bo deduced
with tolorablo accuracy.
Some of tho city officials regard
their information as confidential, so
that no figures will bo available until I
tabulations of totals can bo worked
out.

fXJ Roosevelt's m
I feel that the country Is indeed to be congratulated upon the
nomination of Mr. Taft. I havo known him intimately for many years
and I have a peculiar feeling for him, because throughout that time
he worked for tho same object, with tho same purposes and Ideals.
I do not believe there could be found in all the country a man
well fitted to be President.
He is not only absolutely fearless, absolutely disinterested and up
right, but he has the widest acquaintance with the nation's needs, with
out and within, and the broadest sympathies with all our citizens.
He would be as emphatically a President of the plain peopla as
Lincoln, yet not Lincoln himself would bo freer from the least taint
of demagogy, tho least tendency to arouse or appeal to class hatred of
any kind.
He has a peculiar and intimate, knowledge of and sympathy with
the needs of all our people of the farmer, of the wage earner, of the
business man, of the property owner.
No matter what a man's occupation or social position, no matter
what his creed, his color, or the section of the country from which he
oomes, if he is an honest, hard working man who tries to do his duty
toward his neighbor and toward the country, he can rest assured that
he will have in Mr. Taft the most upright of representatives and the
most fearless of champions.
Mr. Taft stands against privileges and he 3tands pro-ominently for
the broad principles of American citizenship which lie at the founda
tion of our national woll being.
ENEMY OP TAEIEP.
Labor World Sees Dinger In Bryan
flan of Tariff for Revenue Only.
(From tho Labor World.)
Worklngmen and producers gonerally
should not delude themselves with the
belief that, if Mr. Bryan shall bo elect
ed President, his plans for revision of
tho tarlT will preent no menaco to the
country. Mr. Bryan Is the professed
enemy of tho tariff system. Ho would
Impose duties, if at all, for rovenue
purposes only. On articles competing
with what he chooses to call trust-made
goods he would havo no duty at all.
Any apparent deficit In Import duties
arlsiug from revised schedules ho esti
mates would bo moro than made up by
Increased imports. Of courso, his hopo
Is to strike at the great protection
States, which happen to bo Republican
In politics, like Pennsylvania, New
York, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, West Vir
ginia, otc. It dooa not seem td matter
to him that every dollar's worth of for
eign j?oods in tho competitive class com
ing into tho United States on a reronuo
or free trade basis necessarily by so
much reduces the demand for homo
goods, thus displacing Just that much
American labor. What ho wants to do
Is to rebuke and avonso himself upon
protected manufacturers who do not
agroo woth him In politics and who will
have none of him at tho polls, says an
exchange.
But whllo Mr. Bryan Is gunning for
protocted industries and Republican
Rtatos, once his proposed tarlft law
shonld bo In forco It would fall alike
upon all soctlons of the country, the
only differences betwoon ono Stato and
anothor bolng In the degree of hardship
Imposed.
Wo hoar of worklngmen saying that
this timo thoy intond to voto for Mr.
Bryan, bocanso for the past ton months
wo havo had hard times. But what
good will that do? How is a tariff for
revenue, Ignoring 'the protection Idea
altogether, going to open the shops and
mills? How will the cloctlon of Sena
tors by direct voto start tho wheels of
Industry? Or the publication of cam
paign contributions? Or tho further
harassment of the railroads? Or the
reorganization of tho House, bo that
tho Speaker may bo poworless? Why
open this country now to tho markets
of tho world when wo havo not suffi
cient demand to consumo what wo our
selves manufacture? Under Republi
can rule we have Just had ten years of
unparalleled prosperity. Under Dem
ocratic administrations wo havo never
had prosperity for any period, long or
short.
Can't Dlsaffect the Farmers.
The failure of Bryan's desperato at
tempts to curry favor .with the farmers
In lllustrnted by tho mnunrr tu which j
ho was received at Crookston, Minn. I
Awarding to Congressman Ilalvor Stev- I
onson tho event went off as follows: ,
"Bryan's peeeh at Crookston was a I
great disappointment. He actually lost I
ground ther for Democracy. Thous
ands of people were there to hear him,
ahd waiUd till tr o'clock in the even
ing before b appeared. Tho address
wis a narrow appeal to farmers, a
harangue, trying to projudlco them
ngalnst Republicanism. It didn't take
at all. Only once was there thp slight
est symptom of applause. Ho sjioko to
a silent, dlmppolntcd nudlcnce.v
Oninpnlnu t lMiimtlciii.
In the great battle of lSJrf the Bo
publlean party again stood for the
maintenance of the integrity of the na
tion. The fight was against odds pro
rtucd by a great industrial (1oivsbIoii,
and against the most sophistical argu
ments. The Republican party main
talutd a campaign of education among
th wage-earners and tho farmers,
which ultimately led to tho complete
defeat of this second fiuantial heresy
which has threatened tho Integrity of
our business structure. Hon. Win. H.
Tuft, ut Kansas City Mo.
EOUTELL ON BRYAN.
Is His "Shall the People HuleP"
Simply "a Local IssusP"
Congressman Henry Sherman Bou
tell of Chicago, commenting on Mr.
Bryan's speech in Iowa, says:
Mr. Bryan's question, "Shall tho peo
ple rule?" Implies that somewhere In
this country tho people do not rule.
The only States where tho people do
not rule aro the States that are ex
pected to give overwhelming majorities
for the Democratic ticket. Perhaps
Mr. Bryan thinks that his question Is
purely "a local Issue." If he Is sin
cere, I challenge him to make a speech
In VIeksburg, Miss., on "Government
by the People." Let him repeat one of
his famous anti-Imperialist speeches,
simply changing three words, substitut
ing "Mississippi" for "Philippines" and
"black brothers" for "brown brothers."
Let him suggest that wo have as chair
man of his meeting John Sharp Wil
liams, leader of the Democrats in Con
gress, and as vice-chairmen tho other
members of tho Congressional delega
tion from Mississippi.
And after he has made his speech
In Vicksburg, if he shall havo escaped
the rule of the people In that com
munity, I dare Mr. Bryan to repeat
his oration on popular government In
Charleston, S. C, with Senator Till
man as chairman of his meeting. Mr.
Bryan's sentiments have a purely geo
graphical slncorlty. His epigrams and
startling conundrums aro especially de
signed to meet local demands. Of this
naturo aro all his views on tariff and
taxation.
Mr. Bryan's proposition that every
time a trust Is formed a tariff sched
ule should be repealed, and every timo
a trusv Is dissolved a new duty should
bo added, is too funny oven for comic
opera.
If on March 4 next Mr. Bryan should
boeomo President, with n Democratic
Congress In both houses, and should
actually place upon the statute books
tho financial and economic vagaries de
livered by him In his speech of last
Friday, It would plunge the nation Into
bankruptcy and bring on industrial
chaos. If he should begin by repealing
the duty on sugar to punish the sugar
trust, ho would upset the national
finances by losing $00,000,000 a year
in revenues, and would stir up a revo
lution in Louisiana, Utah, Colorado
and Michigan. Then, If ho should re
peal tho duty on rotton goods, because
some hustling manufacturers of New
England or the Carollnas wore dump
ing goods In China in rivalry with Eng
land and Germany, ho would divert
other millions from the treasury and
Invite still further Industrial ruin.
But, of course, Mr. Bryan would do
none of these things, any moro than
ho will Invade the solid South and sum
mon tho cohorts of Democracy to tho
defence of the Constitution with the
battle cry "Shall the People Rule?"
Mr. Bryan simply does not moan what
ho says. What ho utters with Chad
bandlan unction in the North he repudi
ates with Pecksnlffiau duplicity in tho
South.
Btmliii-ai Mon Honest.
Tho business men of our community
as a whole aro honest and their meth
ods aro sound. Tho President has
nover said otherwise. Indeed, it Is
chiefly In tho interest of tho great body
of honest business men that he has
mado his fight for lawful business
methods. Hon. Vfm. II. Taft, to Mer
chants and Manufacturers' Association,
Boston, Mass.
Gratitude ta MolCluWy.
Tho highost claim of William Ale
Klnley for the gratitude of his coun
trymen Is that, In splto of tho abuse
and contumely that was heaped upon
his head for this policy, ho pluced our
country in tho forefront of nations as
a clvlllxer and upliftor of unfortunate
peoples. Hon. Win. II. Taft, at Cleve
land, Ohio.
