ANOTHER USE
FOR POSTOFF|CES

We scarcely become. adjusted to
one innovation in the service of the
government before another is pro-
posed and put into effect. The lat
est scheme is to use the postoffices
of the country as employment agen-
cies. How this plan will probably
be received and why it may be con-
sidered feasible is thus discussed by
the Christian Science Monitor:
"A few yeans ago the idea that
the public School buildings of the
country, when not otherwise employ
ed should be used for the social adj
yancement of the neighborhoods in
which they stood was received with
much head-shaking, in some in
stances with bitter opposition. To-
day schooIhouses in all parts of the
country are social centers, The dig
nifty of public education has not
been affronted by the presence of ths
plain people in the class-rooms at
off-hours Respect for the public
school Las not diminished. Teach
ers find that their authority goes as
far as ever. Children learn their
lessons as we'll Nobody has been
hurt. Nothing has been hurt Many
persons and many things have been
helped and improved. ..........,.....
1T is not to be expected that the
proposal to use the postoffices of the
United States as employment agen-
cleS viii be, at the start, received
with unanimous approval. The post
office itself met with serious opposi-
ton at the beginning, because it was
Felt that it would interfere with the
private letter carrying business, with
the stage-coach business, and with
the waySde inns. 1t was deemed
certain by many that cheaper post
delivery would eventually bankrupt
the government. Establishment of
the special delivery service would
hurt the telegraph companies. Els
tablishment of the postal banks
would ruin the regular private
banks. Establishment of the parcel
post would be a dangerous expert
ment. Warnings are already sound
ed against the est bliShment of Il
government postal telegraph system.
In view of all this, it would be pass
i,,C Str ~F ~
postoffices as employment agencies
should escape objection.
yet criticism of the proposal
thus far does not carry much weight.
1t is based principally upon the ad-
mitted fact that the plan win be an
innovation. Everything new lis an
innovation. but the new is not re
jected for that reason. Unanswera-
BILE points in favor of the scheme are
that the United States through the
medium of it's postal sysem, is in
an excellent position to acquaint it
self with labor conditions thruout the
entire country, to 'mpart this in
formation through bl 'etins to dis
pense it by word of mouth through
its postoffice attaches, to aid in the
shifting of labor from markets oy-
erdone to markets UNDERSIGNED so
that there shat neither be surplus
in one quarter nor scarcity in an
other.
"Details are to be worked out,
and they can and will be worked out
if the scheme be adopted. In this
big country the thing is to strive
toward the best results for the larg-
est number, and that a government
undertaking does not promise to
meet the needs of the few is no rea-
son why it should not be applied to
the needs of the majority"

CARELESS USE
Of MATCHES

One hundred seyenty-five match
fires, causing property loss of S75,-
475-00, is the Wisconsin record for
the fiscal year ending June Both,
1912.
OF these fires 81 were caused by
children playing with matches, 81
Were due to the use of 'parlar match
es" and general careless use of
matches.
Quite a number of children also
lost their lives in these fires.
Competent authorities for the u
nited States property loss of S15,-
100000 and a loss of 500 lives is the
average annual match toll Some of
these fires are due wholly to the use
of the so-called ''parlor match" or
strike anywhere match" the Others
to the cal eless use of matches. even
of the safety variety.
REMEDY.
The remedy in the one case is sim
pie, viz, prohibit by state law the
manufacture and sale of ''parlor
matches and all other strike any
where matches"
This will compel the use of the
safety match or double dip match,
of which the first dip is non-ignitable
on an arasive surface.
CARELESSNESS is harder to pre-
vent, and We can only urge the OBJ
servance of a few simple rules:
/. Children under ten years of
age should not have access to match
es nor be permitted to play with
them;
2. Covered earthen or metal recep
tacles for matches should be placed
in each room ON the wall, five and
one-half feet above the floor, with
a like receptacle for burnt matches;
3. Avoid leaving matches on man
tells, shelves, tables or in drawers,
or carrying them in pockets except
in metal case;
4. Do not use lighted matches to
look for things in closets or dark
rooms, nor to find gas leaks, nor in
oil rooms;
). Never throw away a match just
used until it is completely out and
no trace of glowing coal is left;
6. Never throw match just used
into the wood box, cellar way or
or sidewalk area, waste box or bas
ket. onto the floor, or anywhere else
where rubbish may be set on fire.
7. To protect yourself, your fami-
ly and your property use safety
matches" ONLY.

BLUE MONDAY IN
THE POLICE COURT.
HOPKINS HANDS OUT A
FEW FINES THAT WILL HOLD
THEM FOR A WHILE.

In police court yesterday morning
zcrne twenty cases confronted Mayor
Hopkins, II, unlucky number alright,
we're fined an aggregate Of $751;. It
was sure blue Monday" in the pris-
oner's dock. Up until Sunday morn
ing it had been a record week in po-
ICE circles, not local arrest, but
something happened, and that some
thing was pay day Saturday, the LIST
OF November, and from that time on
the Lolice were kept busy.
The first name on the docket was
Sandy Williams and Sandy had a wor-
ried look as he answer to his name,
and with good reason, as it was his
third trip to the bar of justice in
three months for being drunk, and he
got soaked alright, alright, SIP or

Wilson, So or 80 days for disorderly
N''NHfi anu iPptd w with
two charges against her was fined
40 or 80 days for drunkenness and
$40 or 80 days for RESISTING an officer.
Some criticism developed over this
case from the fact that Officer Wat
kins used force in making the arrest
ana, although violence is TO be deplor-
ed IN any case, especially where a
woman is concerned. be she white or
black, there are some epithets that
no man with red blood in his veins,
can stand, and where woman uses
unspeakable language and develops
pugnacious qualities even beyond the
average man she must expect the
same treatment that would be accord
ed man under like conditions.

A CONVICTION
UNDER NEW LAW
STATE FIRE INSPECTOR SECURES
FIRST CONVICTION IN
ARSON CASE.

Atlanta, Nov. Georgia has just
secured her first convictions in ar
son cases under the new law which
created the office of state 1ire inSpec-
tor. Capt. w. X. Joiner, former fire
chief OF Atlanta, was made first state
superior court, where he was the pros
ecutor in an arson case in that county.
A white man and negro were convict
ed, the white man being sentenced for
five years and the negro drawing a
u year sentence.
The new law is proving a great pro
lection. everywhere, and is meeting
with the enthusiastic endorsement of
property owners and of fire insurance
people. The Southern fire insurance
companies are approaching the close
of All unusually successful year The
home companies in Georgia and 9TH
err Southern states are rapidly forging
to the front as among the strongest
in the country. With small losses,
and the work of the fire inspector be-
coming a terror to fire-Dugs, the new
state law is attracting attention all
over the Union.
The cases in Jackson county will
be reported from Maine to California.
At the last session of the legislature
a bill was passed providing for the
appointment of state fire inspector
whose duty it is to investigate oil
casses of fire where there is the least
suspicion of incendiarism. The inspec-
tor enjoys the same privileges and
powers as are now delegated to JUS
tees of the peace, and in all cases he
is empowered to hold Investigations,
subpoenae witnesses, try the cases
and bind over to the higher courts.
Inc new law, while general in its
scope, is particularly valuable to rCrdl
communities, where buildings are $50.
lated and fires difficult to fight.
