tlemen, devoted to their work, their fam
lilies and their towns-good citizens and
honorable men. In one Of these towns
there is constant warfare between the two
rivals, accompanied with much splitting of
ink and epithets, but no blood. I don't
like to =ad their papers. They make me
tired. In the papers Of the other town
read only complimentary illusions to each
other. They leave me feeling hopeful for
my profession and respectful toward the
two self-respecting gentlemen who will no
more call names in print than they would
on the street.
There may be a few places where mus
=cular Christianity and righteous indigna-
ton should be allowed full sway. l am
twilling to admit that your town is one Of
these, If you will concede that my town is
another; but I hope we can agree that
in all the other atowEs the row Ia print
looks silly and in bad taste.
An editor who is spelling for fight
can usually find objects more deserving
of attack than his contemporaries. Most
towns have plenty of abuses that should
be corrected. These are the rightful prey
of the valiant scribbler If he feels that
his mission is one of reform.

for advertising purposes. Don't believe
for a moment the EDITORS life is all sun
shine and profit; don't imagine the roses
that line his pathway are thornless; don't
throw cold water on every enterprise that
Is advocated by the local press that does
not specially interest or benefit yourself.
Don't kick because you have been ignored
in the local columns, but make it prac-
t1ce to promptly report any item Of news
or local personal, concerning yourself or
family, and not keep silent as clam and
then give the reporter roasting because
he is not omnipresent and omnicient.
Be liberal In constring the language used
in relating items of local news, and not
torture a harmless. peaceful term into q
villainous innuendo, pregnant with vim
dictive mischief.
The citizen can. greatly aid the press
by practicing the divine virtue Of for
giveness, should the local editor acci-
dentally make harmless mistake or pub
lish an article advocating theory not
entirely in accord with his or her political
or religious predictions; by generously
bestoWing deserved words of credit and
compliment upon the weary brain and
body that has burned midnight oil in pro-
ducing articles advocating public i'm
provements, and enterprises in which
everybody feels deeply interested and
which greatly benefit the general public.
By loyal support and encouragement the
citizen can arm and equip the represen-
tative Of the local press with courage
and fortitude to meet any emergency with
a determination and persistency that
never surrenders or Acknowledges defeat;
by pract1cing liberalilty that will en-
able the publisher to furnish and At his
Office in an up-to-date manner and issue
paper that will be an honor to the town
and the pride of its Inhabitants. By
awakening to realization of the eternal
fact, that the local press is by its nature
and operation, the most steadfast friend,
the unwearied watcher, the bold and fear
less defender, the eloquent advocate, and
the all-around benefactor of the citizens
forming the local community, who are
securely basking in the serene light OF
intellectual bliss radidated from the Office
of the local press.

those first mentioned creations of the
Almighty. The ideal is a dream of aerial
architecture, but it's marble halls tarnish
at the touch Of printerss ink. 1t is beauti-
full to contemplate but unfortunately is
above and beyond the appetite Of the
patronizing public.
The practical paper, which is the good
paper in the small town as we'll as in
the large city, is an unpretentious bust
ness proposition; impersonal in the broad
est sense, laboring to benefit those by
whom it is benefited and striving to
strengthen the publishers bank account.
In round figures, that is all. 1t is run by
self-control, coupled with integrity, abil-
ity and energy. I cannot sum the matter
in fewer words nor, I believe put 1t in
colder, more unsympathetic form.
The man and the town The considera-
ton Of these two elements is necessary
in answering the committees question.
Let US first refer to the being. He is no
ordinary mortal, but is human in every
sense. He has an aching void, under. his
vest, Wholesome fear of cold weather and
deep regard for a smoke social or other
kind of amusement. He has also an ap-
probation Of the rights of others, a mind
capable of distinguishing between private
gain and public good and stamina to with
sand any influence contrary to what he
believes right. He is adaptable without
ing undue regard, and self-respecting
without vanity. He calls spade a spade,
when it calls it at all, and does not make
himself (despicable and his subjects
ridiculous by attempting to add purity to
the lily or luster to the rose. He Is filled
with pardonable pride in his, work and
just ambition to rise higher but is
anxious to advance honestly and safely,
adjusting substantial rungs as he climbs
life's ladder. One of the saddest circum-
stances is that Of the man who finds him
self in the prime of life without sub
stantial footing and, fighting with fate,
drops into oblivion or disgrace. To fill
ones station we'll is an honor beyond i'm
putat1on, but to honestly strive for higher
things is glorious and Cody. However,
while the man of whom we speak does all
this, he recollects poor Richards admoni-
| ton to the shoemaker and does not en-
deavor to emulate Joshua OF old, nor to
regulate the earth. He is content to let
the wild winds blow and cares nothing for
what the sad waves are saying unless

WATERBURY, CONN, BURNED

Waterbury, Conn, Feb. 1.-The most
disastrous fire in the history of Wa
terbury has occurred. A large section
of the business part Of the city was
wiped out. Shortly after midnight the
fire, which had seemed to be nearly
under control, broke out with renewed
energy. A conservative estimate
places the loss at $2,OOO,OOO A special
train with fire engine from New Ha-
ven went to the scene.
The manner in which the flames
leaped from one building to another
and even across the street terrified the
spectators, for it seemed that no earth
ly power could check them. Several
times it looked as if the firemen had
finally confined the blaze to a certain
district, but each time a cry of dis
appointment and warning went up
from the thousands of threats and the
fire was seen to be breaking out else
where
The fire originated in the upholstery
department of the third floor of the
store of the Reid q Hughes Drygoods
company, at 1OS-112 Bank street. The
origin is not known. The fire was not
discovered until it had gained tremen-
dOus Roadway.
The fire started in a drizzling rain,
with a rapidly rising wind and with

but il settled toward the east and car
ried destruction with it.
In the panic caused by the fire there
were many rumors of accidents and
fatalities but at the Waterbury hospi-
tai at l o'clock it was said that no
accidents or deaths had been reported
there.
At that hour the fire was still burn
ing. though, as viewed from the hos
pital, which is on an eminence com
handing the city, it appeared that it's
vigor was abating.
1t is reported that numerous thieves
were operating in houses where they
found the owners absent
In the first district thousand of peo-
pie packed the flooded streets. Many
of them fell on the icy pavement,
and many were injured by being tram
pied on by the surging crowds.
Stores, houses and churches outside
OF the fire district were thrown open
for the reception of the hOushold
goods and valued stock hurriedly
taken from the imperiled buildings.

Albuquerque is a good neighbor
who always asks FL Paso to enjoy
any sport or entertainment provided
for the public. Every time FL Paso
keeps open house Albuquerque PEG
pie respond in numbers. No Texas
city has a better feeling toward this
metropolis than is manifested in AL
buquerque. Ell Paso is unable to in
duce Texas to cooperate with this
city in the matter Of sporting events,
but Albuquerque is ready every time.
Ell Paso should never fail to respond
to a friendly challenge from Albu-
querque. The hope of a base ball cir
cult, from this city, lies in the sporty
and game proclivities of the neighbors
in New Mexico and Arizona.-El Paso
