TREAT THEM LITERALLY

When our people consider the tragic
fate which befel those brave firemeh
who were buried beneath the ruins of
a burning building in Boston on Satur
day, they can more fully appreciate the
great dangers which our flremen run
when they are battling against the en-
croachments of the flames
Those Boston hremen were members
Of a paid department They risked life
and limb for so much per week, Our
fremen are OF the volunteer class
They are willing to lose their own
time, take all risks and save the prop
erty OF others from destruction If the
public will but afford them adequate IA
cilities for doing So Surely their Of
fer Is a most generous and self-sacriflc-
ing one, and the least that our commu-
nifty can do Is to give them everything
that they ask in reason, and 1t is sell
dom that they ask for anything that
they DO not both need and deserve. No
doubt many Of the firemen not only risk
life and limb in their humane calling
hut also go down In their pockets to
furnish money which is needed and
which cannot be obtained from the
public treasury, or by private subscrip-
ton from those who are afforded pro-
lection from the great destroying ele-
ment.
No matter what rivalries may exist
among companies, or between combina-
tlons OF companies, when the interests
of the department are concerned we are
always sure Of finding the men stand
ing shoulder to shoulder, just as we
find them when the alarm for active
service is sounded. Rivalry is a good
thing If not carried too far and the
rivalry Of volunteer flremen cannot be-
come harmful because they are not men
who are either revengeful or Of mean
character and disposition. Give them
plenty of money and plenty Of fires
and they are happy in the performance
Of their duties to the public, and no
one can say that those duties are not
promptly and efficiently performed.

GOING TO ROME.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Arch-
bishop ireland is going to Rome.
It is said his mission is to present
unoficially the views of the United
States government on matters af.
fecting the church in the islands
taken from Spain. During his
recent stay of three weeks in
Washington the archbishop was
put in possession of tho views Of
the administration as to the prop
er method of separating church
and state in the islands,, the dispo.
sitlon of tho church property
there and other: matters, particu.
lsrly in regard to the friars in the
Philippines. = H.. ...s
Archbishop Ireland will remain
in Rome while the affairs of the
church in the islands are being
settled. Being familiar with the
views of the president, he will be
by far the best person to present
them in their proper light to the
pope. j. o~
