Control Of Electrical Work

Control of Electrical Work
1.-THE passage of the bill giving the Com
missioners, through the electrical engineer,
better control of electrical work has aided
materially in the improvement of condi-
TONS but we still lack sufficient force in
inspectors to examine all the old wiring,
much of which is shown to be defective by
what has been examined. If Congress will
give us the additional force we have asked
for we shall be able to inspect old as we'll
as new wiring, and the old wiring which is
now incidentally examined in connection
with the new wiring.
''In the effort to discover and remedy
conditions likely to increase the liability
of fire and the damage from it. the different
departments Of the District government
charged with the responsibility have not
spared themselves, working overtime and at
night in order to do this service. More
over, in general it may be said that they
have met with cooperation from property
owners and others required to make
changes, even when 1t was not certain, for
example, before the electrical wiring law
was passed, that We had full legal author
ity to require them to do what it was OBJ
viously necessary should be done.
''This service Of inspection for fire pre-
vention has been rendered quietly as well
as efficiently, so that am not surprised
that you have had to make inquiry about 1t.
believe it has saved many lives and mil
lions OF, dollars worth of property, and that
the active agents deserve praise from the
community.
Drilling the Firemen.
Regular drills are now held in the fire
department, namely, daily, what is called
the house drill, and weekly, a drill with all
the apparatus. Both of these drills are un-
der the direction of the captain of the COM
pany, but are observed from time to time
by the chief engineer, deputy chief engineer
or battalion chiefs, and it Is believed that
these drills do contribute to increase the eff
ficiency of the fire department. The Com
missioner having supervision of the fire de-
partment visits all the fire stations during
the year and puts the men through the
drills with appliances and with apparatus
at these visits. Once a year a committee
of citizens, at the request of the Commits
sioner in charge of the fire department,
visits all the fire stations, and upon the ap-
pearanee of the stations, apparatus and
men, and a drill of the latter, together with
the official record of discipline for the pre-
vious year. awards the prize flag presented
to the department by the Commissioner
having supervision Of the fire department,
and also reports to that Commissioner the
state of affairs in the different houses. This
annual inspection and award has been of
great value to the fire department"

WHAT WE NEED

No people ever lived upon the earth that have had such oppor- tunties as the American people.
 God has given us country unequaled, any where, in climate fertility and natural resources; and our fathers bequeathed to us a heritage of liberty, and armed us with the ballot so that we can at all times, protect our liber- ties, and perpetuate free insti- tutions for our children for all times.
 But these great blessings lay upon each and every one of a responsibility that we have no. moral, right to shirk or transfer to others. Our great need is for the people to be aroused to see actual conditions, as they are, and to learn that these conditions are solely the result of their own apathy and prejudice; and that the causes that have produced these conditions will remain in active. and augmenting force until the power of the people can be united at the ballot box to bring the government to a pure representative, democracy, under which there shall be special privilege granted to no man or corporation; and no franchise granted to any man or body of men to exploit the people by monopolizing a public function such as issuing money, the means of communication transportation etc. If the people will learn to use this power, of the ballot, made sacred by the blood of our ancestors, it is not too late to make theirs a government, of the people, by the people, and for the people.

understands it, to advocate hon. est men for office; not only hon. est men, but sober, capable, gen. tlemen. Men who have some conception of civic righteousness themselves.
 It will advocate honest politics; honest elections; the rule of the majority; the enforcement of the law; the education of the masses and a high standard of political morals.
 Its politics and it's religion be- ing based on the same kind of principles, when it becomes nec- essary, they will mix.
 With no enemies to punish, with charity and goodwill for all it comes to you in brotherly love and good cheer and asks for a place in your home and your af- factions.

Several dave have now passed since the speecb was made, and those same n.. pers should by all means publish the speech. Why do they not publish the speech? There is mt another man in the United States that can duplicate Tom Watsop's speeches, and they should by all means publish it. The fact is that Thomas E. Watson is in the middle of the road.

 money he has in the bank. Because
 nancy in pocket generally evaporates and always earns nothing. Whereas money banked is out of reach of both robber and owners hand.

Remember, your pass-book awaits you at the Bank of Prescott. COME IN AND GET IT.

In this issue of the Picayune will be found the announcement of Elijah DeLaughter for state senator. Mir. DeLaIghter needs no introduction to the voters of Nevada county; he started a poor boy and worked his way up. He has rubbed up against the rough edges of life and knows what it is to earn a living by the sweat of his face. By hard labor and diligent attention to his business he has accumulated a competence in the way of this worlds goods, as well as the respect and esteem of all of his neighbors and ac- quaintances. We commend him to the voters of the 20th, sena- torial district as being worthy of their confidence and suffrage.

OUR COUNTY TICKET.

You will find in this issue of the Picayune the Populist County Ticket for Nevada county. You may take the. entire ticket. and you will not find a single piece of shoddy. In the opinion of many it is the best ticket that has ever been nominated in Nevada county by any party.
 Every man is a Christian gen tleman. There is not one in the list that would under any circum- stances use whiskey or money for votes. They are all sober, hon. est and competent. It is a ticket that any christial l gentleman can afford to vote without any com punctions of his conscience.
 The election of this ticket would be a long step in the direction of civic righteousness in Nevada caunty. These men would not condescend to corrupt or dishon- est methods to get into office; nor would they be corrupt or dishon- est after they got in.

EXIT BUCK.

Our friend and predecessor, MT. c. B. Andrews, as per his announcement in last weeks Picayune, has sold his paper, the oldest in the county, to the Pres colt Publishing Company a cor poration of men who will do their utmost to give the public an in- teresting paper every week.
 Our watchword will be Civic Righteousness. We will stand unfinchingly for clean menin of- flee justice to all temperance, and every other good cause that will promote the happiness of the home and the welfare of the county and state.
 The columns of the paper will be open to every honest. sensible person. Everything good will be liberally applauded and every thing bad will be fought with wildcat tenacity.
 Intoxicating liquors in all it's forms will be refused advertising space. Our churches, schools, stores. industries and farming interests will have in us a true friend.
 The political policy of the pa per will not be Democratic. Jeff Davis, the leader of Democracy, so-called in this state, and it's dictator, we regard as a stinch in the nostrils of honest men. A promise to vote for such a man is not binding, and to keep such a promise is a sin against the state and nation.
 This paper will be truly a Pop ulist paper with strong leanings toward independence. While 1t believes i'l the Populist faith be- cause 1t is right and to the best interest Of the nation, state and county, yet we would support a good and honest Democrat or Republican any time before we would a 5a Populist.
 Ks for Brother Buck, we wish him much good and no harm, but we cannot follow the course heretofore laid out by him. He has time and again in thunder tones told of Republican corrup- tion and grating, and has never once attempted to sweep before the door of his own party al though 1t is waist deep in filth. We will stand by this creed ii we perish, and if so it must be, as we expire, dear Buck, we will use the dying Gladiator's words: Vale, Buck morituri to salutant.
