DROUTH BROKEN

Good rains have fallen through this section during the past week, breaking a drouth of some seven weeks duration. The last rain of any consequence that fell in this section was on the Both of April, and crops of all kinds suffered from the effects of the drouth. It is thought, however, that the cot ton cropwill not be materially dam aged, the rain having comein time to save 1t. Corn is damaged, but probably not to as great extent as was thought by many.

Education Is the first step.
The same conditions which existed i'm the
New York factory building. which killed
women and girls can be found In many
other buildings. Many OF the people who
are Indignantly asking who are rcSpon-
sible for this loss of lifc are probably
maintaining buildings equally as danger

RESPONSIBILITY OF TENANTS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
SIR: have watched very closely the COM
ments of your many contributors on tho

definition Of and II proper interpretation

There Is an old saying that runs something
Ike this: "A stove ia iireproof 1t Is the
things in it that burn" And / firmly be-
lieve that this applies IN great force TO the
occurrence which has horrihed the city and
the nation.
It is indeed a sad commentary upon our
traditional sense Of justice that We have

CONSCIENCE cEIN PUBLIC OFFICE.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir. At the citizens mass meeting held
Sunday afternoon at the Metropolitan
Orera House several speakers affirmed
with emphasis that the non Increment OF
law was directly due 70 the lack Of public
oplnlon We have laws. We have officers
appointed to execute tho laws, but these
arc OF no value without a compelling pub
lie sentiment back of both law and officer.
Tho question naturally arises, Would we
have these laws, building department and
state factory inspectors unless there had
been an adequate public sentiment: Is
Il not a perverted order when the people
are compelled TO goad on public servants to
do the very thing for which they were
elected? What right has a public officer
To be looking over his shoulder to see who
il watching him? If disaster results be-
cause he has neglected his duty, should the
public bear the blame or the guilty public
official?
The public officer Is himself one OF the
most potent factors for either demoralizing
or exalting public opinion. When Charles
Hughes was made Governor did he walt
for the goad OF public opinion? On the
contrary. tho entire state at once felt the
energy and inspiration OF his conscience.
Controller Prendergast forewarned US or
possible increase In the city budget TO
meet the demand for a larger force Of in
spectors. Again We protest What we
need IS not an increased budget but off,
cial integrity which will not squander the
public funds. HELEN c. ECOB.
