TEACH CHILDREN FIRE PREVEN
TION'. ALMOST every day we read in the
new report? of children burned
to death in dwelling house fires. Not
only one child but three, four and
five are burred at a time in a single
house. It seems almost impossible
that puch accidents can occur, but the
&d fact remains that they do, and
in most eaes they would have been
preventable through ;ust ordinary
carefulness.
The National Board of Fire Under
writers in conjunction with the Na
tional Board of Education has pre
pared a booklet entitled Safeguarding
the Home Against Fire. This is a
fire prevention manual for the school
children of America. Eight hundred
and thirty thousand copies of this
textbook have thus far been printed
and distributed. In picture and text
it places before a growing child the
dangers that surround on every side
as a resuit of carelessness with fire.
This book should be in the hands of
every ichooi child in America, and
should form the basis of a regular
school course from the third to the
eigr.th grades at least in the public
schools.
The mere fact that the annual per
capita fire loss in the United States
for every man, woman and child is
$2.10 compared with 49c in France,
3:ic in Eng. and, 2sc in Germany, 25c
in Italy and Austria, 15c in Switzer
land and lie in Holland is sufficient
evidence that the teaching of fire pre
vention shomd start with the child
and become a recogr.Ued course of
study in this nation,

THE main attraction in Heppner
these days is, the big new swim
ming tank. It is proving a source of
much p.ea?ure and comfort to local
peop.e during the hot, dry season.
In con.-equt-r.ee of its popularity it
is paying well, and the end of its first
season should find it practically clear
of debt. Now, people are wondering
why they went so lor.g without this
source of ciean, healthful, and invig
orating amusement, tince they have
seen huw easily it could be done.

HOW ABOUT YOU?
XiniEN Abraham Lincoln was a

life paying up the debts of a worth

He was in love with a beautiful
woman to whom he became engaged
and then pb died.
Entering politics again he ran for
Congress and was bau.y defeated. He
then tried for an appointment in the
United States Lard Office, but failed.
After this he became a candidate for
the United States Senate and was de

the vice-presidency, but lost the race.
In ltr8 he was once more defeated,

Why The Senate May Pick Our Next President
' New Davis Manager
Clem L. Shaver, of West Virginia,
was the choice of John W. Davis,
as the new Chairman of the Demo
cratic National Committee, to di
rect his compaiprn for election.
WHICH WILL BE THE GOAT?
OAILROAD employees want more
pay and farmers want lower
freight rates.
The railroad employees propose to
accomplsih this for both by having
the farmers join with them in sup
port of radical candidates for office.
But how may this be done?
Wages paid railraod employees are
obtained by the railroads by hauling
freight, passengers, mail and express
and charging for such service.
Railroad earnings are such that any
substantial increase in wages of rail
road employees would necessitate an
increase in rates.
On the other hand, any substantial
reduction in rates would necessitate
a reduction in the wages of railroad
employees.
How, then, is it possible for both to
accomplish the desired end? It is not
self-evident that one faction or the
other must loose ont? Is it not also
self-evident that with railroad labor
organized and farmers unorganized,
the big organized vote would take the
turkey and the farmer the crow?
But the radical politician and the
labor leaders want more they want
government ownership of the rail
roads. They want this in face of the fact
that during federal control, with
freight and passenger rates the high
est ever known, the railroads were op
erated at a loss running high in the
millions.
But the organized railroad vote is
about 2,300,000. That is a lot of votes
and votes are what the politician is
looking for. What politician would
run the risk of loosing them by op
posing wage increases that might
even necessitate an increase in rates,
with knowledge that those who pay
the rates are unorganized and there
fore helpless?
Manifestly there is no bond of mu
tual interest between the farmr and
the railroader, t'j? as to rates and
wae- what would go d for one
would be bad for the other.
The farmer has had some exper
ience with increased cost of farm la
bor. He knows what high wages and
short work-days mean and they mean
no less on the railroad than on the
farm, for compared with the farm,
work-days on the railroad are short
er and wages five times higher. The

WHY SENATE MAY
CHOOSE PRESIDENT
(Continued from First Page) '
tatives in that state. This point
grasped let it be remembered that
the blocs" in several delegations
hold the balance of power. Tim the
La Follette-Wheeler candidacy be
comes something to be reckoned with.
Anyone familiar with the line up
in the House last year can see how
likely it is that neither Davis nor
Coolidge would be able to obtain a
majority vote in the House in Febru
ary. A deadlock is quite on the cards
a repetition of the Democratic Na
tional Convention, perhaps, until
March 4, 1925. At that time the new
House comes into being, but THE
NEW HOUSE HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH THE CHOICE OF A PRESI
DENT. In the event of a deadlock until the
disintegration of the present House
the duty would pass to the Senate,
and here it must be remembered that
THE SENATE VOTES ONLY FOR
THE VICE-PRESIDENT AND NOT
FOR THE PRESIDENT. If the coun
try stands without a President, then
that office, being vacant, must be
filled by the man chosen as Vice
President by the Senate.
At this point we read another elim
ination. The Senate is limited to vote
for the two highest candidates. So
the likelihood is the choice would lie
between General Dawes and Governor
Eiyan.
Different In Senate.
Now we come to the Senate vote.
The Senate does not vote by states
like the House. The Senators vote
as individuals, and a majority vote
decides. The Senate membership be
ing 96, 49 votes would elect a Vice
President, who would immediately
succeed to the Presidency, just as
Coolidge succeeded Harding as soon
as the vacancy occurred.
In the present Senate there are 13
Democrats, 51 Republicans and 2 Far
mer Laborites. These figures would
appear to ensure the election of
Dawes, providing there is no change
in the character of the Senate as a
result of the November elections, and
providing always that La Follette
would not switch a number of Repub
lican Senators from the Coolidge
Dawes ticket and procure votes for
Bryan. The margin is narrow, and
La Follette might easily be the de
ciding factor.
One need only to go back to 1916 to
see how delicate is the present situa
tion. In that year the electoral col
lege stood 277 for Wilson and 254 for
Hughes. A third party candidate
controlling, for example, the 13 elec
toral votes of California, would have

thrown the election into the House.
How many electoral votes La Follette
will control as a result of the coming
election is something for political
writers to figure on. It may be some
thing for the two dominant parties to
consider seriously.
La Follette supporters are claiming
he will carry between eight and six
teen states. If be carries only Wis
consin, Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota and Montana, such re
suit would likely prevent either Cool
idge or Davis from winning the nec
essary majority of 266 votes to elect
the President. Even the electoral
vote of any one state might prevent
a majority.
