His Patience Gave Out

d. e. Hall Is red headed-not
fiery red headed, but Just frank
ly and upabashedly red headed
and rather proud of it. Also he Is
proprietor of cigar stand-the
one in the lobby OF Hotel Moore.
The combination Of red hair and
cigar stand has been too much for
the amateur humorists and their
efforts have, in turn, proved too
much for Mr.. Hall. Hence the fol-
lowing communication, Which he
has had printed on n pink slip
for presentation to the jokesmith
who proves too much for patience
"No, Angeline, my hair is not
bleeding.
~ do not sleep upon an asbestos
pillow. lt
customers are not permitted TO
light cigars on my hair when the
alcohol light goes out.
my hair does not generate light
enough for me to shave by on
dark morninga
"My auburn locks do not save
matches. II cost me ms much ia
light n cigarette as Il does you.
"Any way, Angeline, it's mine
and I don't mind II. Why should
II worry you9'-K. C. journal.

THE EQUITABLE FIRE.

The E1uitable Life Assurance SOciety's
building was not in any modern sense Of
the word fireproof, and its destruction
Yesterday showed the complete ineffec-
tiveness of such freproofing as it exem-
plifed. The fire swept rapidly from
floor to floor, and the ruin was com
plete. The test, however. was especially
severe. The high wind and intense cold
interfered seriously with the work OF
the fremen, no doubt considerably re-
ducing the effectiveness Of the high
pressure system. And the fire itself
broke out at the most vulnerable spot
in buildings of that type-namely, near
the foot Of an elevator shaft, where IA
draft sucked it swiftly upward from
story to story Little attention was paid
TO this danger when the Equitable Build
ing was constructed. or even when 1t
was remodelled, and the shaft, giving
immediate access on more than one floor
to apartments fitted and furnished with
combustible material, undoubtedly gave
free play to the flames.
But deplorable as the result Is, 1t is
not without encouraging features. Mod
ern methods OF building and modern
methods of fire fighting are vindicated.
In spite Of the extent and fierceness of
| the confagration. covering a whole city
block and occurring in the midst of
gale. the fire was kept from spreading 10
| the tall structures which surrounded the
Equitable Building and were separated
from it on three sides by extremely mar
row streets. Most of these buildings are
modern and of approved fireproof con-
struction. Had the Equitable Building
burned down several years ago, when
! the surrounding structures were of the
older type and before the high pressure
water system had been installed, with
such a wind blowing as swept over the
city Yesterday, it is difficult to see how
New York could have escaped from such
| conflagration as destroyed great part
| Of Baltimore a few years ago.
The burned building itself was bound
in the course of a few years to give place
to a modern building, for which, indeed,
tentative plans had already been pre-
pared. The necessity Of tearing it down
in any case before long makes the loss
on it through the fire largely nominal,
though the loss on furnishings, Libraries,
records and other valuable contents is
undoubtedly great. The Inconvenience to
business through the destruction of rec
Ords and the temporary inaccessibility
Of securities which are probably safe
must also be taken into account, but
the most deplorable feature of the catas-
trophe is the loss of life.
New-York tribune., 1912-01-10

and factories and for the protection Of
workingmen, but there will be little dis
sent from his contention that still more
needs TO be done. The division of coun-
ties into Assembly districts, the reform
Of the judiciary and the elimination Of
numerous commissions are highly con-
troversial matters, on which It may or
may not be possible to secure satisfac-
tory action at this session, but even
they are not to be regarded as essentially
partisan.
There is large degree of satisfaction
and encouragement In the demonstration
of the fact that there can be so much
done for the advancement Of the public
interests Of the state without in any
sense playing politics" or arousing par
tisan controversies. There is In 1t a sal
utary reminder Of the fact that a very
large part of the business Of governing a
state is. after all, non-politiCal, or non
partisan. Nobody will question the in
tensity Of Governor Wilson's Democracy,
or of the Republicanism of the leaders
and the majorities Of the two houses Of
the Legislature. Yet there appears to
he no reason why the two should not
work in substantial harmony for the ad-
vancement Of the interests Of the whole
state. of which public officers of both
parties are alike the servants.

TIE GEEFEY FIASCO.

Mr.. Bryan showed more ardor than
discretion in trying to prevent Colonel
"Jim" Guffey from revisiting the
climpses of the moon as Pennsylvania's
representative on the Democratic Ma
tional Committee. Colonel Gutfey was
sentenced TO limbo at Denver four
wears ago. when the national convention
ot Mr. Bryan's behest seated enough
anti-Guffey contestants TO give the
colonel's enemies control of the Pennsyl-
vania delegation The meteOric Haskell
read Guffey's death sentence and the
convention obediently confirmed 1t. But
there was 10 truculent Haskell at Wash
ington on Monday to intimidate the op-
position and no docie majority ready
10 serve any head called for on silver
charger.
Under the party rules Colonel Guney's
title as a national committeeman was
unassailable. The state committee OF
any state has the right to I'LL a va
cancy occurring between conventions IN
its representation on the Democratic
National Committee. When James Kerr
died the state cOUllulllSc VI L ShhCJ''"
MIA named Colonel Guffey to serve out
the remainder of the four-year term
subsequently, when control Of the COM
mittee changed. an attempt was made
10 substitute Representative A. Mitchell
Palmer. But that action was obviously
irregular. since no vacancy existed or
which the state committee could prop
eriy take notice. The Pennsylvania case
rested on all fours with the case from
Tennessee. in which state the leaders
I'm control Of the organization tried to
get rio of r. E. l.. Mountcastle by NAM
ing John J. Vertrees as national COM
mitteeman In his stead. There being no
vacancy, that attempted substitution
was unanimously disapproved.
Mr.. Bryan did not follow the right
course In attacking Colonel Gufey's
title. He argued that the credentials pre-
sented by a member elected to fill
vacancy must be approved by the com
mittee before they become valid even in
a Drimd facio sense But such ap exer-
else of power would not only be con-
trary 70 established practice but would
also put an unwarranted restriction on
the right of a state organization TO
choose its own spokesman on the CON-
mittee. An election by a state delega-
don or q state committee confers COM
