Rend .Is fortunate In having a flro survey made by stnto exports who havo had sufficient experience- to be nblo to toll what is right and what is wrong In flro conditions and to ad visa Impartially as to what should bo dono to make things right where they aro wrong. The Uullctln wishes to aid Messrs. Stokes and Allen, the doputy flro marshals now here, and is thereforo glad to present tho follow ing which they havo submitted for publication: "Tho flro marshal law was created at tho 1917 session of the legislature for tho purpose of saving lifo and property against tho ravages of Are. Wo find that CO per cent, of tho fires In Oregon aro " from provcntablo causes, and our work consists in pointing out the hazards that start tho Arcs and see that they aro elim inated.

"Flro protection has a threefold significance and embraces, first, tho means of safeguarding or abolishing causes which originate fire; second, the provision of moans which may conflno fire to the space in which it originates, and, third, the necessary means of adequate flro extinguish ment. "At the present time your city Is not embracing' any one of the three In tbo manner In which it should for tho protection of Its citizens. "Rigid, inspection of all buildings, both public and private, by expert fire preventors is of such unques tioned benefit as to require little or no argument to enforce its import ance, and yet no feature of flro pre-, vention Is so apt to suffer from ne glect 41 n less the propaganda on this point la continually forced to tho front. Fire marshals, Are chiefs, firemen, building inspectors and pri vate owners and tenants all have specific duties to perform in tho mat ter of inspection. "Every Interest of the nation de mands tho preservation of all prop erty by flro, and there are fewer safer means of attaining this end than by using Are prevention meth ods; in other words, by eliminating carelessness and encouraging the cultivation of carefulness. "Wo aro hero at tho request of tho city officials for the purpose of assisting your fire chief mako Dend a tireless town, and are here only for the good of the city of Bend. "Tho nation needs every ounce of its wealth and vitality. The destruc tion of any part of your property by fire will weaken tho national re sources to that extent and lessen the fighting powers in proportion. See to it that your property is fully safe guarded against fire. Use every pre caution. Be carefully on the watch. Look upon every article of refuse and dirt as you would upon an enemy of destruction. By so doing you will bo doing your bit in winning the war by conserving tho nation's resources against tho ravages of fire." HOMES FOR SOLDIERS. (From Saturday's Dally.) To make provision for the soldiers who return from Franco at the end of tho war, Jay H. Upton of Prlne vlllo proposes that the government set asldo a million acres of land for tho soldiers in each of the western states, and appropriate a billion dol lars, hajf to bo used In reclaiming the land and the other half to pur chase stock and equipment. Mr. Upton would havo alien enemies now intorned In this country set at work al onco on the reclamation projects and thplan so worked out as to In suro'li6nf0 for tho soldiers as soon as the War is over. Undoubtedly something must be dono to provide, homos for tho sol diers. Afjjpr 'the Civil war, as Mr. Upton points out, homesteads were provided, but today there are no mors reat bodies of puitablo land. Tho land must be reclaimed by irri gation, and the suggestion is timely. A billion, dollars is none too much to epeJltf on tho work, We hope it may lie started. (From Saturday's Dnlly.) Declaring that tho Kaisor has do creed that might makes right, and that no written or spoken word of men or nations was to bo regarded, Tom Barker, representative of tho United States department of labor and secretary of tho Los Angeles Building Trades council, nddrcssod a moctlng of tho cltlzenB of Bend at tho Hlppodromo last night. Modorn civilization means nothing to the rulers of Germany, who are today endeavoring to torco upon the world an autocratic government, tho speaker declared. They havo set asldo nil of tho teachings of history and Christianity and raised a false god to tho pedestal of worship. To illustrato his meaning Mr. Barker gavo tho cxporionco of a correspond ent who was on tho eastern front at tho ttmo tho Germans used tho chlorine as for tho first tlmo In tho war. "Qod has given mo a now weapon," cried the Kaiser, as to gether with his staff, ho stood and received tho report of 4,000 Rus sians dying In ten minutes from the effect of tho gas sent against them. "What do wo moan when wo say 'mako the world safo for democ racy?' " tho speaker asked. "We havo been taught from our Infancy, and from tho infancy of this great republic, that honor is something tangible, something to bo rolled upon. It may bo a sontlmental Mo that binds us to these principles, and to tbo principles of domocracy on which this government Is found ed, but not yet 60 years ago an awful price was paid to perpetuato this sentimental tie. "In this great conflict, when au tocracy sought through its disregard of national and civilized principles to forco onto tho world its uncivil ized and unchristian ideas, tho re sponsibility for tho preservation of democracy was left to a nation com posed,, of al, nationalities, standing solid behind President Wilson when he said 'We aro willing to sacrifice tho blood of a nation and spend its treasures for an ideal.' " Directing his remarks to tho trado unionists, Mr. Barker declared that they belonged to a movement that had come into existence as a protest against the older ardor of greed, tho thing which the United States and her allies are fighting for today. For that reason these union man must stand behind the government, fight ing for tho principles of domocracy and unions as well. Taking up the question of the I. W. W.'s, the speakor admonished both the labor ers and employers not to quarrel with them. They profess, to be the forerunners of industrial freedom, but some of their leaders are tho worst of autocrats, and havo adopted tho tactics of tho Kaiser to gain thoir ends, keeping the nose of tho mombors to tho grindstone while they reaped tho benefit. Ho gave an examplo of the Russian rovolt as the outcome of principles advocated by the Industrial Workers, relating tho torms of tho peace treaty with tbo Germans, and the subsequent re sult of the broken promises of thq Kaiser and the domands made by Germany upon tho Russian people. Preceding Mr. Barker, H. J. Over- turf of tho Commercial club Intro duced tho speaker, and was followed by O. R. Hartwlg of Portland, who spoke for several minutes along tho samo subject as Mr. Barker, explain ing tho purposes for which tho meet ings wero held. Claims Improvement In Violin.

OREGON frAVORS MAN ON THE JOB (Continued from Pago Ono.) torlnl rampiilitn will bo dispensed with. But there will have to bo sumo tight pinching of pennies to mako up for tho money wasted In tho pro primary senatorial campaign. Soiuo question Iioh arisen as to how far West's attitude damaged Ol oott's chances. Some any It defeated him, But if thin woro true, why didn't It defeat MeNnry? An anomaly is prosontod there which Is unanswer able. Tho fact that Olcott has a good Job and tho tact that Governor Wlthyromba Is on tho Job and that no particular flaws could be picked in his administration, along with tho war and tho "hwuh horses" argu ment, all tended to pllo up the land slldo against Olcott. Simpson Lcnvr Trail. Simpson made a whirlwind cam paign and It was backod by a good personality. It Is noticeable In tho returns that ono may almost follow Simpson's progress throughbut tho state. Wherever ho wont tho swell ing wnvo of Simpson's voto.t can bo seen, and whorevor ho failed to go tho receding ttdo can bo followed quite distinctly. At any rnto Simpson has cut him solf qulto a groove In political affairs. IxMtklng' Tmvnnl CoiiKrc". It Is whlsporcd among politicians hero that Simpson tins n far eyo winking at a tar goal. That probably Willis Hawloy, now representative in Congress from this district, may enter tho lists as a caudldnto against Gcorgo Chamborlaln for tho United States senate at tho next election. It ho docs that there will bo a va cancy to fill in tho halls of Congress from this district, and this is tho very Identical district that claims Simpson as n resident, and as n pretty woll kuown resident at tho prosont writing. Tho northern end of tho district has had Hawloy for its reprcsontatlvo so long it has be como almost a disease Tho southern end has boon anxious for a tusto of tho plo, but could novcr sharpen Its knlfo sufficiently to slice off a chunk. As It Is, Simpson would mako a good contender, Hnwlcy or no Haw loy. But on top of all of this, It is oven barely posslblo that Simpson might bo groomed against Chamberlain himself. With tho prestlgo he has gained In tho Republican primaries this year Simpson would mako no bad timber for that monumental task and somo politicians sco such a possibility looming ahead. At any rato elthor ono of these guesses is not considered bad at all by mauy who havo discussed possibilities, ' .Mow Still Senator. Whllo "MOW was- Radiy-"oUtdta-tnnccd In tho race for governor ho still romulns as stnto senator from Multnomah county and may be hoard from again occasionally through the newspapers. This has been his sec-1 oiul attempt at tho governorship, and this tlmo his defeat was much more mlsorablo than the first. Kvidontly he didn't carry n county In the stnto and was sadly distanced In his own. It In doubtful if ho will appear again In the llmollght as a candidato for any office much more Important than tho one ho now holds. Tho best guess Is that he Is now a rollc po litically, to bo takon out occasion ally, dusted off and handled with care. But ho can scarcely he con sidered hereafter as anything more than an nrnnment. Prohibition Not nn Inhui. Anderson's decislvo defeat indi cates thut tho people aro satisfied that prohibition has como to stay and that no further issuo Is Involved. Tho very fact that Anderson was a candidato on a bono dry platform leads to that belief, If thoro had been any serious alarm felt by tho drys about Harloy's entrance the lineup on that Ibsuo might havo been different. But Ilarley and Anderson woro both treated as Jokos, and ac corded that kind of u vote. Ander son's claims about making Oregon dry wero rather shallow at the best.

Andorson or no Anderson, and tho fact that ho Introduced a bill that someone clso probably prepared was no particular reason why he should bo elected governor, and that tho peaplo felt that way about It was collected In tho vote. Ilarley, on tho other hand, did scare up a (lurry of votes, particu larly among those who like a wee sma drap and conslderabla more actual prlnclplo was Involved In tho vote for Hurley than In the vote for Andorson. Tho voto for Harley was a protest against existing conditions, albeit that tho protest was very, very light comparatively, whllo tho voto for Anderson woh complimentary, puro and simple Speaking again of Moser, now that tho .thing Is all ovor, a little secret might bo let out about thu Portland labor voto. This came moro or loss confidentially before the primaries, but as tho story has boon told, tho conlldcnco may bo considered past This on tho word of a loading Port' land labor leader: Moser was on dorsod liccntiHO organized labor Is In clined" to fool kindly townrd Plorco. Ben Olcott's friends angled for labor, but they were told that labor wlshod to defeat Wlthycombo and preferred Pierce to Bou Olcott. Plorco Is a radical of tho radicals and they fool that thoy will bo able to gain tho car of Plorco bettor than tho car of any other candidato whoso namo has ho fur boon mentioned. Consequently tho endorsement was turnod toward Moser, woll knowing that Moser had no chance- in tho world. At that tho labor voto wus badly split, us much of tho laboring olomont has no confidence In Moser'n sincerity, and Simpson gained soma OAL THREE SALEM LETTER . .. of it, whllo Olcott gained a little. Wlthycombo'H labor voto was prob ably not largo, although ho received soma of it. It may' bo said, right now, that I labor Intends to stir up nil tho troublo it can for Wlthycombo in favor of Plorco. This is a moro state ment of fact. Jibor Dislike Htnto Police. . Organized labor Ih ufrald of tho state polluo. This is another moro statement of fact. It dislikes tho fact that soldiers woro Bout to As toria, and It also dislikes tho fact that special ugeuts wero sont to tho OrcgoiuClty paper mills. It Is afraid tho state police may bo used for sim ilar purposes in tho future Those and many moro conditions havo made labor antagonistic to Wlthycombo, but tho great big idoa right now la tho fact that Plorco is In sympathy with radicalism and labor feels ho will have an opon ear to its cries,' Labor is off on tho wrong foot, speaking plainly, In tho Astoria mat ter. At tho tlmo tho governor sent tho troops to Astoria to quell I. W. W. disturbances, secret Information was available In the governor's of fice to tho effect that Mayor Hnrley of Astoria had addressed n mooting of tho I, W. W. there nnd in a moos tiro assured them of his protection nnd of his sympathy. (iovrrimr Plnynl Hnfo. , Whether ho mado that address or not," word had been received to that effect and what is said to havo boon a copy of that speech has been cir culated liberally in many quarters or the state slnro then. With tho nation In thu throes of trouble and threats of I. W. W. nxltatlou ramp ant, the governor merely played safe In sending tho troops to Astoria nnd was actuated by tho feeling that prompt and doclslvo measures were necessary. Whether tho governor was right or wrong- lit tho Oregon City matter may best bo answered) store, by tho overwhelming voto of confi dence given him by Clackamas coun ty.
