THE VOLUNTEER
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Likely To Be Retained For A
Long Time To Come.
COST OF PAID FIREMEN
Would Be Greater By Far Than the
Gain From Decreased Insurance
Rates.-New Rules For the Paid
Department Promulgated.


The interesting features of the meet
ing of directors of the fire department
last night At the court house were the
discussion upon the question Of turning
the department over to paid system
and that of setting q certain day Of
each month as pay day for the paid
men now of the volunteer department.
The discussion on both questions wat
animated aud finally the first of each
month was settled as fire department
pay day.
This meeting was the first one under
the new officers for the ensuing year
and they handled matters like veterans.
When President Julian raped the
meeting to order therewere 18 directors
present but before the close there
were nearly thirty members present.
The question of the volunteers step
ping down and out after eighteen
years of service and with credit to
themselves, making way for the city to
iDaugurate paid system, was talked
over pro and con.
Chief Powers said he had made fig
ures on the matter and that he believ-
ed that the paid system would not be
advantageous to the city. Messrs.
the result was that the board indivi-
dually were antagonistic to this system
when the interests of the city were at
stake.
The board sent q communication to
the mayor and city council reqaestin z
an ordinance prohibiting the placin g
of chairs or any other obstruction in
the aisles or passages of Myar's opera
house during public performances; that
the rear door of exit which has hither-
to been locked be open and guarded
by one man. Also an ordinance re-
quiringthe chief of the fire department
TO place four volunteer firemen in uni
form in the house at each perform
ance.

women's Good school Work.

WOmen'e GOO0 ScnOO1 WOfks
At the first Colorado election in which
women could vote the number of wom-
en- serving as county superintendents of
schools was increased to 90. Before the
election of women to this Office the con .
ventions Of county superintendents
were disorderly and undignified. The
presence Of women has put an end to
profanity. buffoonery and questionable
stories. The new element insists on
business principles. They are deter
mined that school funds shall be dis
bursed for the needs of the people and
not with an eye to the commission.
They never combine private and public
work, charging the state accordingly.
The books Of school directors are care
fully examined to insure perfect REQ
ords. The directors are compelled to
hold meetings required by statute. The
public contract law is enforced. The
better GLASS Of men rejoice in this Access
sion of moral and business integrity

A Queer Alliance.

The Versailles (Ky.) Sun tells this
yarn Of a queer feathered alliance: Mr..
Emilius Moranoy tells of a partridge
that took up with a turkey hen and
brood of young turkeys on Mrs Sallie
Meals place short time ago and is
still with them, roosting with them ev-
cry night and feeding with the turkeys
at the kitchen door in the morning
frequently when the family of turkeys
gets separated the partridge flies to the
top rail Of the fence and whistles "Bob
White" until they all get together
again. Several times the partridge has
been driven away from the turkeys, Just
to see what effect it would have, and he
has always returned to them at the first

CHRI>TlAN ENDEAvoR.
OUR COUNTRY FOR CHRIST.
July 2. Ps. SO: 1922.

BLESSED is the nation whose God il
the Lord; and the people whom he haiti
chosen for his own Inheritance There
is no truth more manifest than this,
and yet it Is not always accepted and
put into practice by individuals and by
nations. But there is nothing more
pointedly taught in Holy Writ.
AS we are approaching Independence
Day, it would be well for us to think of
emancipation from national sins, as well
as OF freedom from political oppression.
1t is possible to be free politically, and,
| yet to be in bondage morally--and
moral thralldOm is more reprehensib'e
than political slavery. There are n.jl--
lions OF "free Americana" who do not
enjoy "the glorious liberties of the
childr, n of God" So long rs this is
true, so long is there urgent need OF
our going to work in earnest to bring
our countrymen to Christ. He came
to seek and to save the lost, and he has
left his commandment unto his follow
ers that they go forth TO preach the |
gospel OF salvation unto dying men.
Christian citizenship ought to be
cultivated in this land, and Christian |
EndesvOrers have special call to I'M
dertake this great work. 1t is TO be
prosecuted mainly among the young;
and there is no one so well qualified to
reach the young as the young Christ
was y Jung man when he died to save
humanity, and all his early disciples
were young and inexperienced. Our
Saviour therefore, has special claim
upon the young, and he is peculiarly
dtted TO lie their LEADER in the work Of
Ioul saving.
There is no time like the present for
Undertaking the task, and an oppor-
tunity lost may 10 lost forever. 1t be.
loOvts us, there ore, to be up and doc
ng, for the Kings business is urgent
Ind requires haste. Sous are dying
n their sins, and unless we Offer them
he bread Of lie they must ultimately
perish, and their blood may be asked at
'ur hands. Christ for our country
nd our country for Christ this
70 our battle cry.-The Inland.
