CHARGE or INETFIoIENcY.

Councilman Fernstrom made the
charge in the meeting OF the Couhe'i
on Monday evening, that through the
incompetency of the fire department.
the business men of this City are
having rs per cent. more than theE
would have to do. We're that service
In efficient hands He stated, in eff
feet, that american party politics
costs the citizens 100000 ANNUALLY
on this account alone
II this Is not true, it should be easy
to refute. In fact. M. Fernstrom no'
only charged that the City pays me
large sum mentioned for the ineiti-
cheney of the department, but that his
onponents know the facts, themselves.
And nobody seemed disposed to deny
The knowledge imputed to them by the
Councilman from tire Third.
Rumor has for a long time had 1t
that the Mayor was offered, by insur-
ance companies, q reduction in rate
on the condition that the fire depart

AT one time considered it his duty
to give the people the benefit of THIS
Offer in spite of party considerations
but this is, we believe, the first time
the charge of inefficiency, and conse-
uuent neglect of duty, has been made

CARNATIONS HISTORY.
Manchester Guardian.


The cremation of the body of one OF
Manchester's foremost citizens recalls
the fact that this method of disposing
of the dead--which so far for one rea-
son or other, has made but little head
way with the great mass of the people
was historically the ordinary means
of disposing of the dead among Euro
pean peoples before the introduction
of Christianity. In the northern part
OF the continent graves of the Bronze
Age only contained urns with the
charred ashes. At later and histori-
cal period cremation prevailed both
among the barbarous SlaVs, Celts and
Teutons, and among their highly civ
ilized neighbors. the Greeks and Ro-
mans. though the Greeks also prac-
tices earth burial. and even with the
Romans cremation of the dead did not
become quite universal till the end OF
the republic. With the speed of Chris
tianity inhumation began to become
common again. There Is no reason TO
doubt that this arose from the fact that
Christ was buried In a tomb according
10 the Hebrew fashion, and Christians
wished TO b. buried in similar man
ner.

A SERMoNET FOR WORKERS
cFor the News" by II. i. nnprooaJ

CFor the News" by II. j. Hapgood.)
A point upon which employers diff
fer is az to whether mon from the
country are better than men from tho
city. The feeling that country bred
men are likely to work harder is
widespread, and II has much evidence
in its support. There is, however,
hardly enough to Justify turning down
applicants simply because they happen
TO DO city born ana bred. And for
some lines OF work-selling, for ex-
omple--the city man is often the bot
ter.
Where knowledge OF the city is not
essential at the outset, L believe as a
rule the country bred man makes the
better employee. He may be a trite
city brother at first, but he has the
advantage of good habits, OF not being
afraid of long hours, and of being
willing to start at q very low salary.
The city man Is rarely entirely de-
pendent upon his own resources and
iueNtipIs leichS a Sllphh ihSNhNiNS ~
faithful effort. while the man from
the country knows that he must make
good or walk back to the farm.
Men from the country go at their
work with an i will spirit that Is
simply irresistible said a well known
manufacturer to me the other day.
For example, l brought young fell
low from my old home in New England
a year or so ago, and for want OF
anything better to put him at, turned
him loose in the shipping department
and told him to see If he could make
himself useful there for two or three
weeks. Later when / went to trans
fer him to the factory, the head of
the shipping department would not
listen to 1t. he said the young fell
low had been putting in fourteen and
fifteen hours day and had learned
nearly as much about the work as he
himself knew, and was his most val
liable man We had tried a dozen
city bred men in the same depart
ment before and not one of them
had made good

FRUITS OF TEMPERANCE.

Saloonkeepers have posters IN the'r
shops, telling their customers that the
Prohibitonists win ruin the industries
of the country, add enormous sums to
the taxes. and deprive people of their
rights and liberties.
This is the limit of impudent pre-
sumption upon ignorance. The fact Is
that the drunkard Is a slave; that vice
multiplies by intoXication, and that but
for the saloon and kindred dens, the
taxes upon the people would be much
lower than they are. The saloon con-
tributes but very small fraction to
the cost of taking care Of criminals
and paupers that owe their condition
TO drink.
The progress OF the temperance cause

years, is marvellous II is claimed that

A long-deferred measure of justice 10

ferring citizenship on all inhapitantiSS
OF that island who were there on Aprli

residence there. In his report on inc

cludes that its strategic Importance re
moves Fall doubt concerning IT'S per,

In this respect Porto Rico differs from
the Philippines, as TO which our future
policy is stin somewhat In question
Porto Rico has given us little or no
trouble as a colony, and no controversy
has ever been raised over the wisdom
of annexation in that quarter. Amerl,
can citizenship will more closely pinu

and there is every reason Ma why m no, 1t
should be granted. We are glad 10 nose

ASSESSORS TO MEET.
Confer With State Board Of Equalization
on August 18th.

The assessors of the various coun-
ties over the state are to meet in joint
session with the state board of equal
ization at Boise on August IA, just
previous to the annual meeting of the
board for the adjustment of the taxes
for the various counties.
The statutes provide for an annual
meeting of the association in January
of each year and at such other times
as may be determined by the chair
man of the state board or the gov
ernor.
Governor Gooding issued the call
for the meeting in accordance with
the wishes of the assessors expressed
at the meeting held last winter and al
which many matters were brought up
and some of which still await a solu-
ton that will enable the various county
officials to act uniformly in assessing
property for taxation.
One purpose of the meeting is tc
ascertain the relative values of prop
critics assessed as compared with the
actual values thereof, SO that the
board may place equitable valuations
for taxation of railways, telegraph
and telephone lines, matter which
annually proves one of the hard prob.
lens before the board.

county, expects to leave Monday TO

DEPARTMENT RUN
MADE QUICKLY TO
TEST NEW NOZZLE

In order to make a test of the Hart
nozzle for the aerial ladder which the
city may purchase, and to see what
record the fire department could
make in answering an alarm, Mayor
James p. Smith and Messrs. lessee
Gilbert, John r.. Bonds, Richard
Sutherland and Mann Clark, fire and
police commissioners, pulled box -23,
at Seventh and Washington streets,
this morning at 10 o'clock. Repeated
alarms were given and the four COM
panies answered the box. Three lines
of hose were connected to the Hart
nozzle and water was thrown on the
houses and business houses with ease.
The Central company ran 5H
blocks in 1885, while Fire Chief
Wood reached the box from the sta
tion in 1907, but his buggy was wait
ing outside the building. The No.
company, Tenth and Jones streets,
ran blocks in minutes fiat, and
the No. 3 company, Tenth and Clay
streets, ran 1914 blocks in $3.50. The
No 4 company, Fourth and Eliza
beth streets, ran 16 blocks in $40.
Two lines of hose, 500 feet long were
laid, and one line 200 feet was laid
in good time. All of the companies
made quick runs, and the alarm came
in without any previous knowledge
of the firemen.
The Hart nozzle worked well.
Chief Wood recommended that one
be purchased in his report last year.
'It is used for throwing water on fires
in high buildings, and line of hose
may be placed where otherwise il
would be impossible.
