SAFETY FIRST.

There is an apparent effort on the part
Of some legislators to abolish the office
of fire warden. Whether this effort is
made in the interests of economy or pos
sibly to spite the present holder of the
office the theory is wrong. We do no,
know personally whether the present in.
cumbent of that Office has made good all
over the state. hut we do know that he
did considerable good in this city, and
that he did some good at Drayton in
seeing that proper fire safetles were
provided.
We do know that such an officer who
performs his duties in a proper manner
is we'll worth his salary.
Safety first is popular saying. There
are many places where the public gathe.
that the cry of fire would convert in one
second into shambes Of killed and
wounded, when the simple fact if the
audience knew that there was sufficient
means of access so outdoors, it would
keep them cool and they would make q
quick, safe and orderly exit.
While the fire warden has other duties,
the one duty of looking after public as
sembly rooms is sufficient EXCUSE for his
Office.
1t is fact that many proprietors are
simply careless about safety. That they
really don't intend to be careless, and
when the catastrophe and tragedy does
occur they are almost heart. broken
Such proprietors are very generally per
fectly satisfied to provide means of safety
on the mere suggestion of the proper Of
fetal. Perhaps they have never realized
until he speaks that there really was
any danger. They have to be shown
and when shown will act promptly.
Safety first.

War A CERTAINTY

Oae OF the eather Peosliar develop
ments Of the present war in Europe ID
the apparent faith aud certainty Of tGe'
warning factions that their own tlnsl
success is absolutely certain. No doubt
seems to exiet in the aisdsasi the allies,
and the Germans are equally sura. This
state Of mind comes from several eauses,
among which are that tho teNibte sacri
fices mosh bring victory, that their own
soldiers are vastly superior, that the
other nations will at least be finally
worn out, but above all none vil look 10
the face the possible consequences Of de-
feat. Such consequences are 90 awful,
80 terrible. that they are unthinkable.
But it rename, that defeat is certain
to one side or the other and that the
Of defeat will at the very
best be great and hard.
At this tsme it is even difficult for
neutral nations to soberly imagine what
1t would mean for England's navy to be
swept from the seas, what France would
be like with halt her territory gone, with
her seaports the rendezvous of Ger
man navy. What would Russia be like
with the Austrian flag fying from the
forts on the Dardenelles? On the other
hand what would 1t mean If Germany
became a country with but little more
power and influence in Europe than is
Switzerland? What would Germany be
withous its kaiser. What about Aus.
tri-Hungary separated into separate and
weak states, less perhaps in power than
Roumania or Bulgaria.
Some of these things or others equally
significant are bound to occur unless
peace is declared soon But in the
opinion of those most closely connected,
they may happen to the other fellow but
it is not possible that these can happen
to US.

people in the state in the next five years.
There are thousands of acres of land

want OF people. These lands can be
purchased at prices from S25. to $50. per
acre and on the easiest of terms. A

rte PReaeess or THE WAR.

Nothing doing this week except that
men are spill being killed and wounded,
without other taogihle results, in any
thing decisive.
Along the France.Belgium border,
there has been little less fighting than
usual of the infantry, partly because Of
snow and bad weather. Out in the east
where Russian German armies are bat
Ting long weeks battle near Warsaw
in which the Germans tried to break
through to that city has apparently fail
ed and according to reports the losses
have been greater than in any other one
battle of the var. Out in Carpathian
mountain country where the German.
Austrian army and the Russians are con.
tending for the passes into Hungary, the
armies Of both sides are successful in
some parts of the long line while they
lose at other places.
1t seems to be in this eastern region
that we must look for any great advant-
ages or defeats, there being many differ.
ent armies fighting at different points,
and there is likely to be q break on one
side or the other at some weak point,
which may make large changes in the
situation of all the contending forces
there and these will in turn affect the
western warfare.
Germany has declared that all the
waters surrounding the British Isles are
in the war-zone. This declaration has
some of the features of blockade, but
in the international code blockade
must be effective beforei it needs to be re-.
cognized by neutral nations.
OF course Germany has no power to
blockade the English coasts at the pre-.
sent time except by the occasional use
Of submarines, There is much discus
sion among neutral rations as whether
such blockade is effectual enough to
be recognized.
Yesterdays papers said that Russia
had declared that aviators who dropped
bombs on undefended cities shall be
tried as pirates and executed as such il
caught. II this should be carried out
Germany would no doubt make reprisals
by executing an equal number of Russian
prisoners that they might have in
custody.

Der of meetings OF the Council Com-

discuss the question of an amendment
to the ordinance, so that the colored
people might use the church. The
comn-Ntee refused 10 amend.
Then the church officials changed
the entrance TO the church from Leigh

by Council, when It passed an ordi-
nance presented by Councilman Jones
dividing the double block. from Leigh
to Duval, into two blocks. On the
east side Of Fifth Street, there is no
break between Leigh and Duval- but
on the west side OF Fifth street, Jack

There are mora white families liv-
