election will probably be set at some time
next month.
1t will take about three months after
the election, If the bonds carry for the
adjustment of details and the marketing
of the paper.
Meanwhile there is not dollar availa-
BILE for Improvement, the present funds
being scarcely sufficient for current
needs.
The water department has relieved the
situation somewhat by the installation
of fire plugs, but this is not enough.
More equipment Is imperative.
The addition to apparatus which the
passage of the bonds would make possi-
BILE, say insurance men, would be fol-
lowed not only by the restoration of the
rates effective before the enforcement
Of the arbitrary 25 per cent, but also by
the raising Of the limit to each busi-
ness block to $4,000 more than the $780,
600 mark.
Chief Urges Move
Chief Walter Lips and the fire COM
missioners have for six months agitated
the enlargement Of the department.
Early in the year Chief Porter of the
Coast Underwriters board came to Los
Angeles at the invitation of insurance
interests and laid before the city council
and business men facts showing that un-
less expansion in the department was or
dered rates would inevitably be increased.
He pointed out the urgent need of more
houses and companies In the business dis
trict, more hose, larger plugs, and at
least dozen more companies scattered
through the city.
Commercial organizations, notably the
Merchants and Manufacturers associa-
ton, took up the movement seriously and
asked the council to find the funds for
an increase.
AT that time the question of voting
$23,0O0,00O bonds to build the Owens river
aqueduct was pending, and 1t was deemed
wise by the lawmakers to postpone the
issuance of bonds for the fire department
until after the water bonds had been dis
posed Of
The city bought a large fire engine
and found it was useless because the
plugs lacked the capacity needed for the
steamer.
The fire commission in a general way
drew up a scheme for expansion, which
included the purchase Of sites for houses
in the business and industrial districts
and the council promised to call an cleo
zion to vote on an issue of bonds tC
provide this equipment
Councilman Wren, who is an insurance
man, insisted on ample provision benl
made in the budget to carry part of thu
expenditures for the department increase
but his colleagues outvoted him.
All expenditures out of the ordinary
will be charged to this 100000 If thu
people so ordain by their votes.

Whitecaps Disgrace.

Monroe county was disgraced again
yesterday by another whitecap out
rage. a poor wretch was dragged
from the town lookup OF Enetsville
by a mob OF masked DULLES. taken 10
the woods, and dashed nearly to death
with switches HIS offense was not in
any respect q heinous one. He had
been convicted of participating in a
game OF dice and unable 10 pay his
fine had been locked up. 1t is difficult
10 believe that the perpetrators OF this
latest outrage were not inspired by
pure hellishness. For any one TO as
sert that they were actuated by a de-
sire for the public welfare or a cleaner
community is simply preposterous.
The crime they committed was SO in
hnitely worse than that which they as
sumed 70 punish that the mention of
their act as one OF punishment is gro
tesquely absurd. No respectable citi-
zen participated in this outrage. Tn
doubtedly it was the work OF drunken
ruh1ans from the barren hill country
of Monroe county. but their conduct
reflects most seriously upon the whole
community. For years the officials Of
Monroe county have refused TO take
due cognizance of these beastly crimes
and the people Of the state have come
to regard Bloomington and its en-
virons as the habitat of ignorance and
outlawry. This is a manifest injus-
tice, but it is nevertheless warranted
to a degree. The many good people
OF Monroe county should have assert
ed themselves long since and have Sc
cured the punishment of the few vi
cious whitecaps who have brought
that whole section into disrepute. No
community can afford to shoulder the
odium which is very naturally and
very justly attaching to Monroe coun-
ty and its government.-Fort Wayne

Benighted Jacksonville is endeav-

anything under the sun a kid" can
do that some old fogy won't kick about
it? Some New York mothers are be-
ginning a crusade against the Buster
Brown pictures in the comic sections

they tend to teach the little fellows to
be mischievous. What do they want?
The kid" that wouldn't be mischiev-
Gus hasn't spirit enough to ever make
man or woman. Few people think
much of the angel child" anyhow.
Usually they do not make the men and
women who become famous. Give the
kids" a little freedom, and if they go
too far a little punishment Will not
hurt, but let them have some of the
same liberties the older people took
and are none the worse for the haV-
ing taken. Children Will be much bet
ter off If parents and old fogies will
stop saying don't" so frequently.
Don't do this" Don't do that!
Those are the expressions heard by the
little ones from some parents all the
time It never will accomplish any
good to repress the natural joyousness
and the exuberance of animal spirits

it appealed him, to use his own words,
"as an organization for the people and
not for a class or particular crowd" He
had investigated all other local institu-

be carried out. This is a splendid testi-

AT TOWLE'S OPERA HOUSE.

A most striking example Of loyalty
and fidelity coupled with the triumph
of love over position and station in
life is portrayed in the production of
ITO Die at Dawn" which will appear
at Towles opera house on Sunday, May
26. During the last act the hot blood
OF youth leaps to the rescue of out
ragged manhood, and the ever ready
steel weapon is, called upon to settle
the dispute. While the glinting sparks
are flying from the swiftly writhing
sharped tongued serpents Of steel
Nina" appears in time to see her lover
disarm his opponent. Thurston seizes
the fallen weapon, and as he lunges to
stab the unsuspeeting Morton there is
a scream of horror and cry of warning
from Ruth. and the recent victor turns
only 81 time to catch the point of the
murderous weapon, on the hilt Of his
own blade, a moment the two stand
glaring at each other, honest defiance
meeting crafty cunning, when with a
swift movement. Thurston is disarmed.
and with a cry of baffled rage falls TO
the floor. as the point of Norton
knife seeks his heart in retribution. By
those who have witnessed this wonder
full scene, it is said that few, II any
plays today before the public portray
such variable phases Of human emotion.
Love. hate. revenge. horror. pleading
cunning, defeat. sympathy are al
/! blended in one swiftly moving pano.

Thus many and many a dollar was
