! HIS TRUE ANGEL \ By A. J. GARTH.
 Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman)
 Poor boy! dead or alive, which?''
 Old Abner Dorsett sat crouched over the embers of dying fire in his deso- late home. Time was when he had stormed and raved whenever he thought or talked of his missing son. He had disowned him, had almost cursed him. Time, however. had soft ened the smart of a terrible disap- pointment, a severe blow to fatherly trust and affection.
 Wilfred Dorsett, bright, handsome, twenty-two, engaged to Una Walden, the prettiest girl in Winsted, had been sent to the city by his father to invest the earnings of years, some fifteen thousand dollars in bonds. He had kissed his neighbor's daughter, gen. tie Una, good-by with all his accus- toned sincerity. He was to return in two days. On the third there came an appalling telegram. It read:
 Forget me. I have lost all the money through gambling.
 From that day until this, through two lonely, heart-breaking years, old Abner Dorsett had gone about the deserted house like dazed, numbed creature unable to rally from a deadenlng shock

 A town, like may spell it's name anyway it pleases and that then becomes the right and this towr is Phoenix" We are aware though that the United States government has always spelled the of Phoenix without the "o.'
 But for the right which we have said. at taches to towns and people spell their names as they choose would be in the wrong considering the circumstances in which the town was named.

Now that bird the phenix name was originally spelled 'fenix." There is no Phoenix which we have any knowledge except this and other towns whose names are spelled arbitrar- fly, and a plant of the palm species known as the Phoenix Palm.
 A citizen of Phoenix is sometimes called 2 Phoenician. the spelling being different from the an inhabitant of ancient Phencia. So it appears that we Phoenix have not much logic or precedent on our s1e-sot if the elder Mr. Weller could spell his name with " samvel9 there is reason why we may not decorate Phenix with an "o.'

Fire Insurance Committee of Chamber of Commerce Makes Report that Every Citizen Should Study, Says Secretary
PREPARE NOT TO
 CUT RATES LATER
New Building Ordinance and More Paving Recom- mended as Best Means of Converting Companies to Lesser Rates

Fire insurance rates in Phoenix will not stand another reduction now, ac- cordine to a report by the special com mittee of the chamber of commerce adopted at yesterdays regular meeting of the board of directors. Phoenix can expect no further reduction. on account of the fact its loses are higher than any city in a state that leads the union in percentage of risks lost by the insur- anoe companies.
 But Phoenix can have lower rates in a year or two, if some highly necessary changes are made in the building or dinance.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
SPELLING AND POETRY

Editor Republican:
 Several days back you took occas ion to give vent to some caustic re- marks and criticisms through your editorial column in reference tc some aXioms I made regarding one Rem lilI. In attenuation I trust you will allow me space to try and prove that the "crime was in a way iustifiable.
 First; in all candor and abject hu- militY allow me to confess that our spelling of rhyme was just as ob- solete and out of date as the spell ing of Phoenix which you flaunt before an educated public every morning without any seeming re- spect for their finer sensibilities. We frankly admit that "rime" should be spelled Cor spelt that way and hope you will be as candid and ad- init that the dictionaries of today are right when they presume to spell our beautiful city P-h-e-n-i-X
 Second. your contention that Rem lik is a poet makes us 'laff." He is mediocre rimester and has no more | poets license to use move" to rime with love" or some" with home, than I have to sit in the governor s chair and conduct the affairs of state Poetry is that form of liter ature which embodies beautiful thought. feeling or action" To con meet Remhk's doggerel with "beauti- ful thought" is ludicrous. It was not fair play to link Remlik's name with that of Dryden. the latter not being here to defend himself. If his grave was examined. you would undoubted- ly find he turned over the morning your editorial appeared.
 As a rule your editorials arc an intellectual feast and I thoroughly enjoy them, but your Defense of q Poet" was sure a "fliver.'

suggest that the fire insurance com mittee of the Chamber of Commerce investigate the conditions surrounding any fire where reason exists to believe that it is of incendiary origin; that in this work they secure the cooperation of the merchants. and through proper pubIi. ity, endeavOr to mold public opinion to the end that incendiary fires may never b a serious problem in Phoenix.
 Conclusion
 The Arizona Corporation COmmis- sion are now securing yearly from all insurance companies. reports showing the losses and premiums of all com panies doing business in the state We urge that the Corporation Com fission be requested to secure in ad- dition to such report, the premiums and losses segregated by cities; so that in future years information will always be available as to the exact ratio of loss existing in Phoenix. When said report shows that conditions in Phoenix have reached such a point that lower rates are warranted. then the insurance committee of the Cham Der of Commerce would be certain to receive favorable action on the part of the rating officers of the insurance companies. Until such time arrives. we sugges that your entire efforts be directed toward reduction in fire ] losses.

in this line which has been admired by- the entire country. Such action in Phoenix will enhance the appearance of the city and remove one of the present unwarranted fire risks. We urge the passage by the city commis- sion of an ordinance which will pro hibit the construction in the future of frame porches and which will con- Gemn the existing frame porches.
 The piles of rubbish existing around and within the business places of Phoenix are a serious menace. A number Of cities in the country have materially reduced their loss ratio by an active campaipn to keep prem ises clean. Section r Of existing or dinance No. 322 provides that such rubbish shall be removed from the city every two weeks. This ordinance is entirely inadequate. A new ordi nance should be passed by the city commission, providing for frequent periodic inspections by the fire and police departments. with the purpose 1 of having such rubbish immediately removed. and specifying penalties in the event of non compliance with the 1 orders of the fire department We suggest that the chamber follow this matter up and see that such an ordi- nance is passed.
 Paving
 l Accessibility is of prime importance 1 to Phoenix. We have two main ar l teries of travel in this city. one being ! Washington street and the other Cen Itral avenue. The latter is paved all
 most to the city limits while Wash ington street is paved but short dis
 tance In bad weather it is practi- cally impossible for the fire depart
 ment to reach all parts of the city. We suggest that the efforts of the chamber be continually directed toward an increase in paving, giving special
 attention to such streets as will be of greatest value to the fire department. It will be difficult to reduce the dis gracefully high loss ratio without inn pl ovement in this respect
 Fire Department
 During the past few months the fire department has been greatly improved each of these periods. so that it is both in fire-fighting apparatus and in the method of operation. During the three months. July to September in- elusive. there were fire losses amount ing to S9.625.00. which were covered by !s211 ,OOO.OO insurance. During the same months in 1914 there were losses of S4S. .OOO.OO. covered by S78.000.OO. There were the same number of fires during obvious that She efficiency of the de apartment is greatly increased IL Is essential that the members of the firC department be thoroughly conVersan' with every mercantile risk in town: they should be required to make peri odicai inspection of all risks in theiI districts. to secure a thorough knowl- edge in case of fire. This, we un- derstand. is bein doTe now, the i'm portance cannot receive too much em- pbasis.
