THE FIRE MARSHAL.

indianapolis News)
If William e. Longley, the new fire
marshal, has any particular qualifca-
tons for the position to which he has
been appointed the public is yet to
learn what they are. The appointment
is purely personal and political. Mr.
Longley is a member of the Taggart
organization. and was in charge of
Governor Ralston's pre-convention
campaign. 1t has been said that the
Governors first thought was to appoint
Mr. Longley as a member of the state
board of tan commissioners, but that
it was later felt that the mans re-
lations to those who are close to the
traction interests of the state made
this inadvisable. So he was chosen
as FIRE marshal We sincerely hope
that he will make such a record as
will prove that the Governors con-
fidence was not misplaced. But the
appointment was not, we repeat, made
because of any special fitness of Long
ley, but for political and personal
reasons.
AS matter Of fact, the fire marshal
ought to be a man who has at least
had some experience in the insurance
business. Men thus trained have a
knowledge OF the subject which unin-
formed men like the new marshal will
have to acquire. Further than this
the insurance companies pay the mar
shal's salary, and surely they should
have been considered to some extent.
leo ho hax k,1H-
in preventing fires. AS that is the
function of the fire marshal, it would
have been a very proper thing to
choose him from insurance circles. He
would have known his business from
the start, and would also have been
subject to no temptation to play poll
tics. Is seems to us that the Governor
failed to rise to the level of his op-
portunity. AS to the two deputies,
fine character. One of them, Mr..
Minor, is reported to have had con-
siderable experience in the work of
fire prevention.
OF course. it would be very foolish
to assume that the new department
will accomplish nothing under Mr..
Longley. He may turn out to be a
successful administrator. We certain
ly hope So. The point we make IL
that the Governor could have no
reason to think that he was specially
qualified. The appointment was not
made for that reason. 1t is purely
personal and political. Appointments
made on that basis in these days are
always likely to be a mistake. More
and more the people are demanding
skill and efficiency. They are seek
ing expert knowledge in those who are
to conduct the public business. Gov
eminent is branching out into all sorts
of work, and is no longer a mere mat
ter of collecting and disbursing
revenue, and giving police protection.
Men in public station today must
know what they are about. Mistakes
are much more disastrous in their re-
suits than in the older and simpler
days. Governor Ralston apparently
does not fully appreciate the great
change that has come over the thought
of tho American paoolo

There was an air of holiday re-

Burkhardt was unanimously elected
mayor of the Arcade community of

The postoffice was turned into a
shelter place for eighty-nine men,
women and children. Ropes were
thrown out and cases of food snagged

In the midst of the horror fifteen
prisoners in the city workhouse broke
out through the roof and, fleeing over
the roof of the Antlers hotel. raided
the cafe.

Always Ready to March.

There isn't an army post in the

"Clockwork? Well, there's nothing
mechanical about it. A man naturally
is ready when he sleeps and lives with

would be 10 confusion. How could
there be when a trooper has his

The exceptional man gets the notices
in the newspapers and biographical

the work of the world and upholds the
character of civilization.
The average man is the substantial

the average of humanity goes forward
When the few advance at the expense
of the many the trend Of the whole
body Is downward.
When the character, intelligence,
prosperity and morality Of the common
people are high. the craftsmanship, lit
erature, art and learning Of the excep-
tional men will be high, just as the
waves on a river that is bank full are
more plentiful and more beautiful than
those Of river dried at its springs.
The solid. substantial citizen, who
meets his obligations, fulfills his duties
of citizenship. does his work and is a
good husband and father. is the very
cornerstone of all that is wholesome in
our civilization.
The term man Is here used generic
ally and includes woman. for the high
average Of womanhood Is quite as i'm.
portant to society as that of manhood.
1t may not be in our power to be ex-
ceptlonal men or women, but 1t is en-
firely within our power to help keep the
average high.
We are required only to make good
with the talents given us.
BY being exemplary average human
beings we may be rendering more
important service to mankind than by
glittering our little instant on the crest
OF the wave.
1t is from the sea level and not the
top of the wave that all heights and
depths are reckoned.
There are plenty to offer tributes to
the exceptional man. but why not a
tribute to the average man who makes
the other possible?

it was greatly pleased at the generous
response TO the appeal for aid and
ventured the opinion there would be
no difficulty in caring for the sufferers
unless the volume Of supplies received
tomorrow and Sunday should be less
than those which came today Every
thing considered the condition tonight
in Dayton in so far as the relief work
is concerned is hopeful and by to-
morrow morning every section of the
stricken city will have been covered.

savers left a supply of bread and
water and planned 10 take further

Water Reached Roofs.
The Louisville men also took re-
lief to several hundred families in the
low district in the vicinity of Ludlow
and Franklin streets. Here the water
had reached the roofs of all two-story
buildings. Only a few of the most
desperate cases were brought out, the
first move being to leave bread and
water in as many places as possible.

No Reward For q Tin Mine.

For some unknown reason there Is a
widely prevalent idea that the United
States offers a reward for the discov-
cry of a tin mine that can be worked
at a profit Many letters are received
by the geological survey every year
asking about this supposed reward.
Where the rumor started is unknown.
but it seems to be fostered by un-
scrupulous or ignorant persons who
have mining stock to sell. The sur
vey's officials say that the United
States does not offer and so far as
known to them never has offered a
reward for the discovery of tin mine
or any other mine.
