In resigning the secretaryship of state Mr.
Bryan did just what the people have been de-
mandinK of him to do.

We understand that the editor of our con-
temporary has been askinjj our business men for
expressions upon the question “What is wrong
with Mr. Bryan.” He could have saved a lot
of space by securing: expressions of “What is
riprht with Mr. Brvan.”
Goyemor urping him to try and find some re-
publican who would act as a third member of
the board and who would in all things carry
out the directions of Governor Williams. It i-
confidently predicted by republicans that no
reputable member of the party would accept
such a place in the face of the law which says
the Go\ernor should make this appointment
from the list of five men recommended by the
republican state committee. It is currently
rumored that the position has been offered t"
certain republicans on behalf of the Governor
but that they declined and expressed the opinion
that the Governor ought to comply with the law
and select one of the republican list of five. The
lawyers seem to be agreed that this provision of
the law is absolutely plain and mandatory. But
if he were ’to. ignore this plan provision of
the law the republicans wouid probably have no
remedy in court, as the supreme court has held
that an action of mandamus to compel the gov-
ernor of the State of Oklahoma to obey the laws
cannot he maintained. Some of the friends of
the Governor maintain however, that he will
.make the apointment from the republican list
’ of five as contemplated by the statute.
At the meeting of the republican state com-
mittee which was held here on Saturday, a reso-
lution was adopted calling the attention of the
Governor to the law and pointing out that the
appointment was long past due and requesting
him to make the appointment. This resolution
was taken to the Governor's office by a special
committeee composed of State Chariman
Arthur 11. Geissler, William Higgins of Bart-
lesville, Henry Asp of Oklahoma City, William
H. England of Ponca City, J. W. Work of Ok-

Personal responsibility for the ef-
'ects of a fire originating on one’s
jw n premis.es is likely to be enforced
by law within the next few years in
the United States, as it has been for
nacy years in European countries, <£
’.he efforts of those active in lire pre-
vention work are successful, says the
New York Spectator. New York City
authorities, in particular, are aiming,
is a first step in.this direction, to se-
cure the enactment of a statute Im-
posing upon the owners or occupants
of properties in which fires origlnat'
after such parties havjg, been notified
to remove hazards existing in their
premises, the burden of the cost of
fighting such fires, which has hereto-
fore been a general charge against the
city as a whole. The theory upon
which this endeavor is based is that
most fires are due to carelessness on
the part of occupants of the proper-
ties in which fires start; and the de-
sign is to produce, if possible, a con-
siderable decrease in the number of
j fires by imposing a penalty upon those
! to whose carelessness fires are due.
i An extension of this idea of personal
responsibility, making the occupants
of premises®\vhere fires originate lia-
ble for damage to neighboring proper-
ties, following the European system,
may later be pressed in the Legisla-
ture. If these plans succeed and are
found practicable in reducing the fire
1 waste in New' York, similar action
j may be anticipated in other States,
I .so that, ultimately the tire loss of the
whole country may be greatly di-
J minished -Tls 1 hioniole.

Official Figures Furnished by State
Board Shew the Appalling and

| WHY FOREIGN LOSSES ARE LIGHT.
. State tiro hnls. the federal an
thorities and fin* prevention experts
generally have estimated the propor-
tion of fires due to preventable caus-
es at between 2”> and 50 per cent oi
the total number of fires. The Texai
state insurance hoard, an official
body, holds that practically SO per
cent of the fires are preventable by
the exercise of reasonable care and
protection, individual ami municipal.
These figures of the Texas board
are the more interesting because they
cover every tire reported to it by the
local authorities under the provisions
of the state law since December 1,
1910, now totaling 42,000. This is ihe
largest mass of official data available,
and furnishes a sufficiently broad
basis of average to be conclusive,
while the fact that Sit furnished
and tabulated by local and slate offi-
cials puts it in a different class from
statistics collected 1^' the it -urance
companies, which might be suspected
if drawing conclusions to suit iheir
own interests. In fact, ihe state au-
‘horities go much further than the in-

A burned city does not replace it
self.
Fire insurance does not replace lo !
property.
Food, clothing and shelter are pm
duced only by human effort; hence
labor expended in replacing waste is
withdrawn from legitimate producing
for the satisfaction of human needs.
National waste Impoverishes the N*
tion. as family waste impoverishes
the household
The fire waste Is not really paid for
by insurance companies Fire insur
mice Is added by manufacturers ami
merchants to the cost of the goods,
and whoever buys a loaf of bread, n
tat. a coat, or ^hoes, pays it The cost
of the fire is concealed in the price
of the goods. Every fire is paid foi
by all the people Insurance is col
lected from all and paid to hint whi
