SOME REFLECTIONS
On the Gallant Parade Of the Men
who stake Their Lives For a Bare
Living-Reiorm Called For

The parade of the Police and Fire De-
partmeut of the Capital City of the Nation
Thursday last was AN inspiring sight
Fine stalwart, determined looking men
marched past with the precision of trained
soldiers, carrying their 'locusts' jauntily
i'm their right hands, while the gallant fire
laddies with their engines FURNISHED and
shining like new muted silver dollars, rode
on their machines" and received the ova-
tions of the thousands of people lining the
sidewalks of the avenue
The GLOBE believes that but few of the
spectators gave a thought to the dangers,
risks and lives of real hardship these men
endure for bare living Their long hours
of duty and the little real home life and
comforts they enjoy by reason Of these
same long hours was the skeleton that the
thoughtful saw stalking along behind the
Furnished engines in this brave parade.
And yet we are encouraged to know that
others beside ourselves recognize this
dark side Of the fair picture as the follow
ing letter demonstrates:
WASHINGTON, D. c., December ~ I90L
Editor 0fthe Sunday Globe.
Did you see the parade What did you
think of those fremen; didn't they look
like men that could enjoy little of home
life, or a social event like the rest of us2
DO you know that they are on duty

sixth day of to get acquainted with their
families2 No possible chance for them to
attend a religious service or any social
affair whatever. Il seems that they give
up all that makes life worth living.
am quite old, but until recently, did not
know there was a department under this
Christian government that was under such
barbarous requirements Is il because this
government is too poor TO employ two
forces Of fremen2
Twelve hours out Of twentyfour ought to
be enough to require Of any man. While
so much is being done for the heather"
we ought to see TO II that we do not make
heather of our own people. Surely If we
can spend so much time, money and lives
to benefit those who, i'm many cases, repay
by kidnapping aud slaughter, we ought to
be able TO do better for these men who risk
their lives for us. ] believe there are very
few Of the people who know how little time
these men have with their families am
acquainted with only two fremen, and I
am sure they would enjoy a little Of home
life as well as any of us.
You seem to enjoy fighting for justice for
all, can't you fight little for these men
none more worthy.
! am not a fireman or government em-
ploye; never have been either, and never
expect to be, but am lover of humane
and just treatment for all.
a READER OF THE GLOBE.
The points here made are well taken by
this honest citizen, and if hypocrisy does
not hone ycomb the District as it does the
many departments of the Federal Govern
ment, there will be speedy reformation In
the present condition of treating men who
risk their lives to save the property aud
lives Of others, and who are on watch
