To the Editor of The Virginan;
Sir.--The drst duty Of municipalities is 70
tneir servants their moot important servants
are the fremen, fer their very existence and
preservation are always in their keeping How
few have paused 10 consider the risks to life
and limb, besides the actual losing thereof, that
those mon. prompt to the call Of duty, in
cur in all weathers, night and day. by their
daring efforts 20 keep confederation from
spreading and destroying entire city. Firemen
are proverbialiy brave; they could not retain
their calling and he otherwise. Soldiers In the
true 0f the word--not of war, but of peace.
Their mission is 10 save. not to destroy life. to
spare property. not tn iniure II: fight not
men, hut the most cruel Of all of natures ele-
fnerts-fre, No martial music theirs to detract
the sense of danger and to bGoy the courage;
no banners waving to stir their pride. Their
only music Is the sound Of their horses hoofs
on the hard pavement, while speeding to the
call Of duty; their only banner the red Sky
before them that conjures mental pictures of
helpless wight babe sitting in curling clouds
IF smoke and darling hames-pictures that all
too often, like dreams, come true. On they
rush like very demons; theirs is the right of
way. traffic stops, all men and things must
give place to the fremen They rule for the
nonce and they rule they always behave
kindly and well. DO likewise to them !?
I;ut the fire is quenched with threats raw and
eyes red and smarting. after unnoticed and I'M
known risks In blazing, cracking rooms they
mndeStly return to dinEv quarters that de-
cent would crowd his cattle in.
The fact remains that though sun and moon
may vary, the treatment of the iremen never
varies The conditions Of the policemen have
been somewhat improved in the passing years:
the trade unions have increased the wages,
while shortening the hours of labor for their
members But only the fremen stand still.
their condition Is much the same as It WIS many
years ago~-in some respects worse, for. as a
city increases in size. increases the mum
her of FIRE alarms, which now everlastingly
breaking the mems sleep and changing into
nervous wrecks the finest manhood Of our
country
The addition of about % per cent TO their
present number would remedy all this by
dividing each company into two platoons as
they have in many western cities, thus allowing
whst nature Intended, association with and not
Punishment from ones family. The Increased
cost to the people would be than com
pensated for by superior service. And money,
after all, is not the only thing in this brief life of
ours. The happiness counts Of doing the right
thing to those who have claim our graft
