 Only few of the business men of Douglas were present at the fire de- partment meeting last Saturday night. Some people never have any use for the fire boys until their house gets on fire, just like some folks never have any use for God and religion until they come die. It is expected hat the next meeting, on November 25th, will { be held in the new A. l.. U. hall, when big time is planned. Don't make any other engagement for that night. With the coming of winter, it may be expected that the fire department will have more work to do. Douglas people can help the department by re- membering that it Is easier to prevent fire than put it out. Some of the cities of the States have established bureau of fire prevention, with power to enforce regulations Most of our 1 citizens have compiled with the chim ney ordinance, all others should-be- sides taking all other possible precau- tions to prevent fires, and not wait until the marshal comes around.
 Some busy body has evidently iu- formed the Indians of Douglas that they are raised from their former low state to the level of the white man, in which exalted position they are entitled to buy all the whiskey they want and get as drunk as they please. Burden ed with. this delusion some of them broke loose about week ago and be- gan making the rounds of the saloons, where, when refused the drinks they expected to buy, they would fly into violent passion and tell the barkeep that he was anything but gentleman and a scholar. In some cases bands of four or five Indians have been accom- panied by a white man, who, after lin ing them all up at the bar would call for drinks for the crowd, claiming they were all his friends When refused and told to bit the high places, he also would begin to barangue the saloon man in language choice, but uneXpur. gated. Of course, every body knows that this thing cannot continue, or, if 1 it does, there will be trouble. Friends of the Indian people should explain to them that the law has not been chang ed, and they are not entitled to booze any more than they ever were.

Judges and the Recall.

A New York lawyer writes to the
New York World to say: 81 am
strongly opposed to the recall so
far as II applies to the judiciary, and
yet there ought to be- some way Of
getting rid of judges who are cor
rupt without any wny of establish
ing II by legal evidence, or who have
been placed on the bench through
corporation influence. Such Judges
can hardly If ever be reached by the
process Of impeachment or by the
action Of the Legislature on the rec
ommendatiOn Of the governor, for
the reason that, as already stated,
II Is almost impossible to present
legal proof and though everybody
conversant with public matters feels
that it is public scandal for such
Judges to be continued in office"
Why not, then, trust the matter to
the people who elect the judges?
Certainly If they were competent to
choose Judge in the first place
they would he fair enough not to re-
call him without good reason.
Can anyone suggest any method,
other than the recall, OF meeting the
desired end pointed out by this New
York lawyer?-The Commoner.
