HUM OF HUMAN CITIES

In cooperation with the fire chief the
city Fire Department of Spokane has been
transformed into a living constructive force,
having a part in many tasks undertaken
by the city government Heretofore IL was
as is so generally the case, merely am ag-
gregatton sof men and apparatus for fight
ing fires. and doing nothing else except oc-
casionally flushing streets The importance
of the new departure, set out in an article
in the American City Magazine is that IL is
part OF a great cooperation with the Pub
lie Works. the Public Utilities and the
Health and Sanitary Departments making
all working body for tho citys betterment
Last year 1t was organized on the two pla-
toon basis, which meant more lremen and
there were fears that this meant only in
creased expense. But the result has SO
justified the change that it is popular
There Is an inspection system by which
firemen personally visit every building in
Spokane. Careful examination as to fire
conditions is made, and advice given to every
one how to put things In shape and what
installed by which every structure in the
city had its record so that fremen should
know just what TO expect in case of fire.
Sanitary inspectors report bad conditions
Firemen inspect alleys, streets, sidewalks
and sewers and report to the proper de-
pRrtment
In addition to this a construction shop was
started for repairing the fire equipment and
this has developed into independent con-
structton. There have already been built
an auto hook and ladder truck, a oombina-
tion auto hose wagon and chemical and
three automobile hose wagons. Some OF the
equipment has been In service for a year
without expense for repairs. This shop
work is so popular among the men that there
is keen competition to get turn at It, The
shop 10 ntted out as ire station SO that
the men at work are Immediately available
as part or the fre- fighting force. The COM
petition OF the men for place in II Is be-
cause they thus learn to be mRchinists, and
so not only put in otherwise idle time but
acquire a useful trade. The shop Is now
WI la for
ment and 20 auto sprinkeFs for the Street
Department Next year the shop plans to
build nve pieces Of fire apparatus. The
work saves the department about one-hale
the cost

Mexico Abandoned TO Its Fa1e

TODAY is the time appointed for the evac-
i uation of Vera Cruz. There are buzzards
In Mexico who will rejoice when they see
our forces retiring. The one haven OF civ
illEation and justice left in the whole coun-
try is being abandoned and made a football
for the factions which have fastened on
Mexico with so firm a clutch that II seems
impossible to tear them loose
Three Governments have protested to the
United States against the evacuatio. They
are apprehensivs, as they have every right
to be. lest their own nationals be outraged
when the sole force that stands for law and
order anywhere in the country is withdrawn.
The situation is no better than II was when
the marines landed. In many respects II
is worse. The ostensible champions OF free
dom have become the blatant advocates of
loot. There is no responsible authority any
where In the republic. nor is there one lead
er In whom this country or his own could
repose any confidence.
We want no more to do with the several
bandit clans OF Mexico. But we did hold
until today a strategic point the moral in
fuence OF which was very great. It assured
some moderation among the chiefs It fur
nished haven OF refuge for the pillaged.
For the United States holding Vera Cruz
was pistol held at the head of the Mexican
buccaneers Good fortune may prevent the
translation OF this event into a great catas-
trophe. but al the omens are the other way.
The average citizen cannot share the optl-
nlism Of the Administration. He fears the
outcome.
The idea OF a free Mexico seems to
have been definitely abandoned villa is
being looked to as a man strong enough to
establish real dictatorship, after the man
ner Of piaz. The hope OF universal suffrage
freely exercised. Is seen now TO be futile. For
Mexico is the Mexico OF a hundred years ago
patient and stupid. tolerant ana suffering
Il Is nt prize for the man VINO can take
Il. ana the evacuation Of Vera Cruz by our
forces gives such a man free hand

Everybody's Automobile

TTIHEN motor fuel can really be sold at
w cents a gallon, when tires can be made
that will neither puncture nor blow out, when
carburetors can be built that will always
carburate and magnetos installed that will
never fail to spark when cylinders can be con-
structed that win not leak nor clog, when
the cost of advertising and marketing can be
taken off the retail price of machines, when
bodies can be enameled with a substance that
will never wear Off when toll gates are abol-
ished and garages are free, then every one of
us can own a car.

Public Service Commission Must Give
Citizens an Immediate Hearing

I THINGS are in pretty pickle when intel-
i gent citizens are In grave doubt as to
| whether the Public Service Commission Of
Pennsylvania or the Interstate Commerce
/ Commission at Washington is the proper body
! to give relief from the exorbitant advances in
/ communication rates which the railroads are
/ about to make. But the Interstate Commerce
! Commission has been usurping authority at
| such rapid rate that few lawyers would be
willing to deny its control OF anything
II Is remarkable that commuters as a rule
are not objecting to an advance, but they do
object and ought to object to an Increase
which doubles cost. The railroads made an
implied contract with every commuter. The
issuance of so and 100 trip tickets for a great
number of years constituted promise that
they would be continued although there
might be some fluctuations in cost But the
railroads propose to discontinue them en-
tirely. II is as II man who had granted
public right of way over his land for half
century should suddenly close the highway
The law would prevent him and the law
should prevent the railroads from taking SINH
lar action now.
The Public Service Commission is without
power, II seems, to suspend the proposed new
rates But 1t has fun authority to act after a
hearing. II behooves II, therefore, in face
OF the present exigency to provide for an i'm
mediate hearing. There should be no delay
whatever The Importance Of the interests
involved requires most prompt action This
commission is the instrument provided by the
people for their protection and II must not
be hesitant or dilatory In considering the just
ness of the burden they are asked to shoulder
Meantime, wise public opinion, actuated
by sound common sense, should manifest it
self in demanding the repeal of the extra-crew
law and any other measures which have In
creased the cost of railroad operation un-
necessarily There should be balancing of
accounts. But it will be an impossible under
taking for the railroads to excite sympathy
on the ground that the extra crew law is
measure when they Themselves
are endeavoring to make up for II by doing
a little highwaymans work on their own
count.

suffragists Have One Paramount Duty

A JURY has no power to render verdict
"A until 1t is empaneled. In deciding not
TO define the attitude of women toward pro-
hibitlon until they are formally granted their
right to the franchise, the Pennsylvania
Woman Suffrage Association is acting with
wisdom and foresight.
For the present the suffragists have one
duty and one only-to claim that to which
nature, education and their stake in civil
lied society entitle them Nothing must
swerve them. Politically, their opinions, or
even their convictions can play but little
part until they possess the legal power to
enforce them by the ballot.
AS soon as their fight for their inherent
rights is won they can champion any cause
and their championship will count.

America. the Entertainers, Refnre

DRIEUX lectures the American Academy.
DBarrie, Davies and sundry other play
wrights, with Jerome K. Jerome to boot, visit
New York in the midst of what would or
dinarily be a rushing London winter. Cecil
Chesterton, brother to the mastodontic q. X.
c., announces lecture tour In January,
while any number of smaller fry are invad-
ing America for purposes more or less vocal.
The fact that Brisux planned his trip be-
fore the war broke out doesn't alter the fact
that America has now become the only coun-
try where lecturing is possible occupation
for men OF letters. 1t is Just the same in
the concert field. Our cities are the only
open hunting grounds for hundreds of public
entertainers who used TO be spread thinly
over two continents
So far as the lecturers go. America Is going
to benent greatly by closer acquaintance with
the men and the literature OF other nations.
It should bind us a little more firmly in
friendship to all the world.
