.F|REMAN'S WIFE WIDOW
FOUR-F|FTHS OF TIME
Speaker at Citizens Meeting Argues
for Betterment of Service in
Washington.

That the fireman's wife is virtually a
widow and that his children are IA
therless four-fifths of the time, was
asserted by George NJ Kirk of the
Y NJ. C. A., in an address at a meeting
in the Church of the Advent last even
ing, under the auspices of the North
Washington Citizens Association. His
subject dealt with the present needs
of the f1remen of the District
He said that the fireman had but
three hours day for meals, and was
home but one day in five. He said that
the life of the fireman has nearly as
much routine as prison life.
1.-The hardest thing for the fireman to
bear, perhaps" he staid. "is to be al
ways surrounded by his fellows, yet
always kept from true fellowship
Advocates "Two Platoon System"
AS means of making the lives of
firemen more enjoyable he urged the
adoption of the two platoon system"
This could be done here, he said, by the
addition of fifty-two more men, and at
cost of $4,000.
THE argument has been advanced in
this city," he said, that to give the
fireman more time off would be con-
ducive to drunkenness. One might just
as well say government clerks should
be kept at work into the evening be-
cause otherwise they might return the
next day unfit for duty
Mr.. Kirk also urged tnat firemen and
policemen again be given free trans
portation on street car lines. Wash
ington is the only large city of which
Mr.. Kirk knows, he said, in which this
is not allowed.
Stereopticon views and motion pic
lures were shown depicting the life of
firemen and showing some of the re-
cent large fires in Washington and
elsewhere. The display of the picture
J of Chief Wagner on the screen was a
signal for applauSe

Bow Scouts Asked to Serve.

Boy Scouts have been asked to serve
as masters of ceremonies at the car
nival. They will attend to the placing
of the lights and serve as guards.
Washingtons wanderlusters also plan to
participate in the carnival. They are
to meet at the south steps of the Treas
ury building and hike to the basin,
which they will encircle. All of the
wanderlusters have been asked to bring
lanterns along with them.
DR.. Meyer stated today that permis-
sion had been obtained to allow the
skaters to stay on the ice until IL
o'clock in order that they might enjoy
the moonlight. The police have been
clearing the basin at 10 o'clock. but
one hour onger is to be granted the
skaters hereafter.
The basin had it's usual crowd of
skaters today. Each day the number
of skaters is increasing, for every one
who has visited the basin says the ice
is Just fine" and more and more skat-
ers are being attracted.

MOUNTAIN LAMB DRAWS
CROWD At STATE HOUSE

The game warden's office was yes
terday morning swarming with WISH
tors, drawn there by the novel at
traction of a mountain lamb about
two weeks old. The lamb was
brought from Yuma by Deputy War
den Pettis, who had been sent there
by Warden Willard to secure it from
its captor, a prOspector by the name
of Pocket, who claimed that he found
1t deserted in the mountains de-
serted by its mother, and only
brought it in to save its life. AS Mr..
Pocket is a man of good repute in
Yuma his story was accepted, and no
prosecution resulted.
The lamb has been taken to a
ranch south Of the city. where it will
be given the best of care.
Game Warden Willard. who viii
ask the legislature for an appropria-
ton for the creation and mainte-
nance of a state game farm, expects
to use the lamb as a nucleus for what
it is hoped will eventually become
a large collection of the fauna, and
more especially the big game of Ari-

"A good understanding giveth faith,
but the way of the transgressor is
hard was the text chosen. Basing
his theme on this piece of wisdom,
Evangelist Delaye described the two
ways which are open to every one.
The one, he said, leads to heaven. 1t
has pleasant associates, is safe to
travel, and beautiful in every way.
The downward road, leading to death
and destruction, is streWn with

A LAW THAT DEFEATS ITSELF.

The case of the forgery of check
in the last term of the Circuit Court
illustrates again the need Of change
in the minimum penalty for this Of
fense. Five years in the penitentiary
is the minimum. True, the law takes
no cognizance of the amount of mon
ey involved in the wrong-doing, but
even so the punishment is too severe.
Other crimes, on their faces no
greater offenses against society, have
smaller minimum penalties. For in
stance, if the boy who forged a check
for $40, getting finally but 81 from his
act, had taken a 800 watch from the
counter, or had stolen a horse, he
could have received but seven years
and might have been given much less.
Second-degree robbery, second-degree
and second-degree arson
have smaller minimum penalties.
What is the result? Jurors too Of
ten refuse to return verict of guilty
when the evidence of guilt is clear,
just because they realize the harsh
ness of such a sentence Judge David
H. Harris of the Circuit Court says
he has seen "juries go into their
room, time and again, when the evil
dence of guilt was unmistakable and
come out with a verdict of not guilty
blinking an eye, because the
penalty is too great" Nearly every
circuit court judge in the state, he
says, has had the same experience,
and many have tried to get the Legis-
ature to make a change.
Let the maximum penalty remain
as it is. But let's not have an excess
,ive minimum penalty that often de-
feats its own end and exacts too great
a punishment at other times.

LAW ENFORCEMENT HERE.

1--WE are going after violators of
the law. We intend to keep a clean
city. We are proud of the University
and we want to keep Columbia the
most desirable town In the state" {"
This is the consensus of opinion ex-
pressed by number of the city's Of
ficials.
In the last thirty days three white
men and two negroes have been fined
for "bootlegging," making a total of
five white persons and nineteen ne
groes in the last twenty-five months.
Three students have been fined for
drunkenness in the last six years. So
violations Of the law are being looked
after. This is a small number of
cases comparatively. 1t shows two
things: First, that it is possible to
keep a clean moral town when the
citizens SO desire it, and, second, that
Columbia is not a tough" place but
that elements are kept weeded out
that would make it so. Being the
educational center of the state, it is
fitting that Columbia should set such
an example.
Until 1887 the state 'five-mile law"
kept liquor from being sold here.
Those were days when "blind tigers"
and "holes in the WALL were in plen-
ty. Today Columbia is drier than it
has ever been. The wholesome atmos-
phere and the appearance OF the city
attest the fact that progress and cit
izenship can be developed without
liquor and that law can be enforced
with such development.

are being received at the committee
headquarters and at the Office of ev-
cry daily newspaper. BILLY" Sunday
is helping, too. He is devoting to the
cause, two sermons and the collec-
tions that follow.
Why not such day for Columbia? +?
Why not such day of concerted help
for the unemployed? This would not
be an appeal to any ordinary feeling
of charity, for the situation is extra
ordinary. Much of the appeal would
be for other citizens of Columbia, who
are out of work and in need Of work,
or help, until work can be obtained.
Many of them only want help tenn
porarily; they can stand for them
selves as soon as they get work again.
Columbia responded to the call of
Belgium with a tag-day contribution
of generosity. Certainly, she will do
as well by her own people when the
need is brought home to them by such
campaign for a self-sacrifice day.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a
strong article that appeared in the
Fortnightly Review, favoring' the
building of the great Channel Tun-
mel. In this article he pictured the
very danger that now menaces Eng
land-the German submarine. Be-
sides his serious writings he pressed
home this danger in a powerful piece
of fiction, Danger"
With the German submarines act
ually attacking the British merchant
marine in the Irish Sea and on the
eastern coast of England, endanger-
ing the British line of communication
with the eXpeditiOnary force now
fighting in France and Belgium and
threatening to establish a commercial
blockade of England against the Unit
ed States and the British colonies, IL
is very likely that England is in the
mood to listen to the suggestions of
Conan Doyle.
1t is said that the cost of construct
ing the tunnel would not be more
than five million pounds. At present
England would give ten times that
amount to have the tunnel which
would get her in safe and effective
with the Continent.
Even now the building Of the tun-
mel is being urged by members of the
French Congress. The French urge
the starting of the work before the
signing of any peace treaties. Doubt
less both countries are asking them
selves why they did not begin the un-
dertaking, say, at the time that Ger
many began building and fortifying
the Kiel Canal.
