The Washington times., 1902-06-19

The fact that Washington has escaped during the
past several years large fires attended by loss of life
has been due to good fortune and the efficiency of its
fire department, but more, says the re-fghng head
of the department. Assistant Chief Belt, ito good for
tune than 70 an! thing else"
This good fortune, it is feared, has led not fsw
people to imagine that the city is immune against
disaster from fire, but should any well informed mem
ber of the fire department be asked he would reply
that there are many buildings here the total destruc-
ton of which it would be practically impossible to
prevent in the event of fire therein should the flames
gain any considerable hcadway before being diseov
ered should the fire during the prevalence of
a high wind or during time when the department is
engaged at another serious fire. And if the inquiry
were further instituted it would be found that some
of these buildings are owned or leased by the United
States Government, and daily occupied by hundreds
of officials and employees.
Prosecuting the inquiry still further, it would be
learned that in the opinion of the local fire fight
ers more or less loss of life would result should such
buildings be wholly or even partially destroyed at
time when occupied.
During the past several months two officers of the
fire department, Assistant Chief Belt and Fire Mar
sha Bieber, have been daily engaged in an inspection
of the hotels apartment houses stores hospitals and
charitable and educational institutions Of the District
for the purpose of ascertaning whether the laws and
regulations for the protection of life and property
being observed Much good has been accomplished
by this work of inspection, but there remains great
deal to be done this line and 1t will be continued
Indefinitely, or so long the very limited force and
resources of the department will permit.

IMMUNITY FROM HOLOCAUSTS
A MATTER OF GOOD FORTUNE
By ROBERT W. DUTTON Chief of the Fire Department.

About the best illustration of the necessity for this
inspection is the fact that Assistant Chief Belt and the
Fire Marshal have so far found but one out of the
as to require no recon- dation from them for its
additional protection. In most instances. those re-
sponsible for the lack of proper protection against
fire have co-operated with the authorities in their eff
forts to protect the buildings and their occupants, but
it is to be regretted that this cooperation has neither
been as extensive nor as prompt as it should have
been
The longer this inspection has continued the more
convinced the department has become that to good for
tune more than to anything else has been due Wash
ingtons escape from serious disaster from fire. Good
fortune however, does not continue forever and,
less the District Fire Department is materially
strengthened and thoroughly equipped with modern
apparatus and appliances, Washington will some day
surely suffer, and suffer severely.
The average territory covered by District fire
company is greater much greater than is covered by
a company in any other city, company, Truck
Company A, guarding territory just about one-thrd
of the total area of the District of Columbia
The pending District appropriation bill, should it
become law as passed by the Senate, would be very
gratifying step toward a stronger and better equipped
fire department, for it would then provide three
tcass steam engines to replace three practically
unserviceable ones, aerial hook and ladder
truck, truck company for Southeast Washington,
an engine company for Southwest Washington, and
double the appropriations for repairs to engine
houses and apparatus and for the purchase of new
appliances

The Young British Officer

The British committee on military
education and training has been sit
ting on the case Of the young officers
Of the British army. and apparently
now proceeds to sit on the officers.
The committee recommends that the
regimental coach be abolished and
that the officers be not permitted to
keep hounds or to play polo. 1t inti-
mates with surprising bluntness
that the time has come for these
young men to mind their business
and stop playing; and that the fact
that, as the English say. "keenness
is not good form will not be ex-
pected to serve in the future as an
excuse for inefficiency.
One would suppose from the tone
of some English novels that it was
not good form in British society 20
know anything. or be able to do
anything. very well; and that ability
of any kind was tco professional in
its suggestions to be really gentle
manly. On the other hand. we know
that when the English mind is really
devoted to anything the result is
knowledge whose extent and thor
oughness shames the less superficial
nations. Possibly the real condition
nf IN ic nF two
standards of living; and that the
present work of the committee on
military education is TO weed out
the inefficient ones.
II it is really true that genuine
ability and hard work are tacitly
discouraged by certain social set iii
England. as being a sign that one
was not born to good society, the
sooner that set gets out OF power
entirely the better 1t Will be for
the empire. In the army, as in all
places where real work is to be
done, such nonsense has no place. 1t
is reported that men of exceptional
ability have rather a hard time in
working up from the ranks to the
position of commissioned officers.
but that they do accomplish this
the careers OF several British gen
erals prove. The plain fact at the
bottom OF it all is that the world
Of achievement ie and mus, al-ays

THE LOVE OF WAR.

small reward deserves some glory as
compensation. If the ideal Of the
army is kept where it ought to be it
will certainly take ''the best we breed"
to come anywhere near reaching it.
The military force has, in short,
reached the point in its development
where it is police force. Its work il
to assure the safety and comfort Of
the great majority at the expense Of
the minority who want to make trou-
Bile. Take, for example, the British
forces in India. If it were not for
the border regiments the Afghan
would make short work of the vii
layers Of Northern India. If it had
not been for the British army in
South Africa the Kaflirs, Basutos,
Nasal and other native tribes would
have made life impossible for white
settlers. 1t is not fun for these po-
licing regiments to get themselves cut
up in the interests of the home-stay-
ing Englishman and the colonist
Neither has it been amusing for the
rank and file of the United States
Army in the Philippines, if all re-
ports are true. The sensible way to
look at mi.itarism is to consider the
army as a necessity, in the present
stage of the worlds development, in
sist that it shall be composed of men
worthy of trust and respect, and send
ii only where it is needed for the good
Of the majority. Obviously, the way
to attract the best men into the army
is not to revilc all soldiers as black
guards, and that is what some other
wise conscientious people are careless
enough TO do.

Wanted His Pension Reduced.

Commissioner of Pensions Eugene F.
Ware received a letter from a man in
Illinois 4 few days ago which read:
i am now getting q pension of $50
month. Recently the Lord has pros
pered me. and l do no. think l should
set SO much money. | gave my ser
vices to the country, and l think I
should have sorle pension of course, but
think $50 month is too much. is
there any way l can have my pension
reduced or suspended while l enjoy the
prosperity that is miEe at present."
This is the only letter that ever came
to the Pension Bureau asking for a re-
GCction OF pension. and Commissioner
Ware looked at 1t with much curiosity
and some suspicion. After determining
that the man is really on the rolls, he
wrote TO the special pension examiner
II the district in which the man lives
and asked him to investigate. This is
the answer the pension examiner sent in
reply:
II have the honor to inform you
that the perscn who applied for re-
drction in his pension is now In the in

The Washington times., 1902-06-19

Perhaps there never was time
when the discussion of the ethics OF
war was so serious and so earnest as
now. For several centuries 1t was
practically taken for granted that the
soldier was among the noblest types
of mankind, if not the noblest of all;
of late there has been a reaction
against this ideal, and while some
thinkers are advocating with all their
might the ideal of universal peace,
others. OF whom our President is one,
are Just as decided in their advocacy
of the strenuous life" The result is
somewhat mixed condition of ma
tional thought.
The mixture might be simplifed,
however, by going below the surface
of things and inquiring what war is
for-the Improvement of the individ-
nal, or the effecting Of certain pur
pose. We have reached time, per-
haps the first in the history of the
world, when it is possible to contem-
plate universal, if not absolutely per-
manent, peace. 1t is not to the inter
est of great nations to make war
against one another without some very
strong reason. But it is undeniable
that now, and for some time to come,
there will have to be fighting in
various parts of the world, and so
long as this is so, there must be sol
diers to do it. That the individual
soldier may be worthy of all adrnira
tion no sensible person ought to deny.

pleasant duties fr comparatively

Opposed to Anti-Anarchy Bill.

Speaking of the anti-anarchy bill or.
as some prefer to call 1t, the measure
to protect the life OF the President of
the United States and the lives OF the
officials in the line of succession"
Representative Malcolm r. Patterson,
of Tennessee. one of the ablest law
yers in the House, remarked yesterday
that the passage of that measure mark
ed the first time in the history OF the
Government that Congress ever passed
bill to create distinction OF law or
attempted to separate the official from
the body OF the people. Continuing,
Mr.. Patterson said:
Il shall be mistaken il public opinion
endures this drastic and Draconian
measure. masquerading as 1t does in
the livery of social order, which con-
fuses the Jurisdiction of the courts and
aims a blow at the reserved powers of
sovereign States not less deadly than
the one aimed at the dearest rights
of the American citizen.
1T Is the first time we have ever de-
clared that the man clothed with au-
thority by the people shall stand apart
from them in another atmosphere, up
on higher plane, and be subject TO
different laws. 1t marks a new era
ard shakes the ancient pillars Of the
Republic.
My own respect for the office Of
President of the United States is ex-
allied and so is that OF the American
people. and | have no objection to all
proper and necessary safeguards TO
protect the life of the individual who
occupies that high station.
But | do protest against the declara-
tion that the President, the Vice Presi-
dent. and Cabinet officers in the line Of
succession. and foreign ambassadors and
ministers are TO be put into an inner
circle and surrounded with more than
regal safeguards.
Even in monarchical England 1t was
held no treason to kill the king when
he was not in the possession OF govern
ment or acting as king.
Likewise it was not treason to Kill
the officers of the king unless Being in
their places and doing their Offices
Before the law the stature of all citi-
zens of the Republic Is equal, and If
cuhit be added to one and net to all it
is the beginning of the end to free and
equal government. and our grand ex-
pertinent is at last failure,
In my opinion there Is much OF hui
man right as well as republican life
involved in this measure. and the note
of alarm cannot be sounded too soon or
too often.
"If the principle is once established
that man the President is greater than
man the citizen we have indeed assumed
the regal garb.
Such a measure es this will cause
more evil than it will ever cure, and
breed more anarchy than 1t will ever
suppress.
We have now no aristocracy of birth;
let us not create one by law.
There IS no divinity which doth
hedge about king and none should
hedge about the servants of the people"
Mr.. Patterson added that in his opin
ion the bill was Of doubtful constitution
ality.

UNDER THE CAPITOL DOME.
Mr.. Goldfogle's Happy Story.

At a recent gathering of prominent
citizens in New York city, the object of
which was to raise funds for the benefit
of a hospital, number of speeches
were made commencing the worthy
charity and sounding the praise of the
management Of the Institution. But
none of the speakers once during their
little talks alluded to the main object
of the meeting until it came to Repre-
sentative Goldfogle to address the gath
ering. He was greeted with applause
when he stepped forward on the plat
form.
After stating that he had listened with
pleasure to the high words of praise
and commendation bestowed by the
speaker on the mana cement of the hos
pital, he said he had failed to note that
anyone had felt it necessary to call at
tention of the audience to the purpose
that had brought them together. This
oversight on the part of the gentlemen
who had preceded him reminded him
of a story.
When Lincoln was President of the
United States" he said, "he took walk
down Pennsylvania Avenue one cold
winter evening. During his stroll he
met a poor, forlorn woman, thinly clad,
shivering with cold. When she saw the
President she mistook him for minis
ter, and, falling upon her knees, with
hands uplifted, begged his blessing. say
ing that she had three small children
at home starving and freezing to death.
She said: oh, Mr.. Minister, pray to the
Lord to help me-
When she had finished President Lin
coin said: My good woman. it's not
minister that you need. You need
grocer and the President took a caro-
out of his pocket and gave her an order
for s25 worth OF groceries.
The point was at once seen by the
audience, who applauded loudly, and the
result was liberal subscription to the
beneit fund for the hospital.
Mr.. Goldtogle has a happy faculty OF
always illustrating point with tell
ing story, and therefore he is much In
demand at conventions, political and
business gatherings.

Friends of the Soldier Exercised.

Friends Of the private soldier are
much exercised in the House over Sem
ate amendment No. 4, on page 5 Of the
army appropriation bill. which is now in
conference. The amendment is as fol-
lows: Provided, that no enlisted man
who has passed the examination for
promotion shall be commissioned or
paid as an officer until he shall have
taken such course of instruction as the
President may deem necessary to deter
mine his fitness for the grade of second
lieutenant" 1t virtually repeals the old
law which prescribed examination by
which enlisted men who passed would
bo promoted to the grade Of second
lieutenant II the House concurs in
the above amendment 1t will mean that
all the soldiers who have passed sue
cessful examination for promotion will
have to undergo another. and, perhaps,
entirely different examination.
If the House conferees do not insist
on the Senate Withdrawing this amend
ment fight will be made against it
when the conference report is presented
to the House.
