DOMINION1S AMMUNITION
PLANT AT QUEBEC AFIRE
Bolt of Lightning Believed to Be the
Cause.

Quebec, June 15.-Ffre, the third
within week, was discovered late to-
day in the Dominion's ammunition
plant here.
The blaze originated in small
building adjoining the laboratories on
the Plains of Abraham, next to the
structure wrecked last week by an ex-
plosion. It burned fast and threatened
three other small buildings containing
explosives. A bolt of lightning, it is
believed, caused the fire.
The plants that have been visited
by fire are under strict guard of armed
sentinels. 1t is not thought that any of
the fires were incendiary.

THERE is NO FAILURE.

There should be no such thing as
failure There Is a point when some
men give up, quit and lie down. Fail
ure Is the end of effort.
War does not end with one blttie
Business is not built by one stroke
Failure does not mean final. unless
you accept it as the fins The big
gest and the best men IN this country
have failed once, twice, and many
of them a dozen times; but they never
gave up, and for this reason they
never really failed. The point is,
don't give up.
You think you have trouble. You
feel you are about TO fail Trouble.
You don't know the fun meaning Of
the word trouble.
Suppose you were in the position that
your ncighbor is down the street Go
out on the walk and watch the peo-
pie pass by. See how many you would
like to change positions with. Most
of them have kicked a hat with a
brick under it, but they continue 10
limp along and smile.
Did you ever notice that the tide
turns when 1t reaches it highest point?
And it Is so with trouble. Just when
you feel YOU can't hang on any longer,
this is the time to hang on.-F. ID.

Let the Decision Be Prompt

People are asking when the city commission IS going to make public it's decision the Parish Make public" is used advisedly instead of sub nit render hand down." It assumed that the commission has already reached decision, as every dsinterested person who followed the hearing had done before any testimony for the defense had been offered So the people know when the commissions decision is going be made public
 It is also hoped that the decision will be publicly made; in open session of the commission in such session the charter orders shall be held, and not in tarchamber meeting. Every day the com mission delays action in this matter would if a majority of the people had already made up minds, be reflection upon the city manager. It would appear that the commission meeting with difficulty in resolving doubts regarding the guilt innocence of the manager of the absurd charges which the late preposterous hearing made a hear ing to the commission necessary
 The commission already knows whether it thinks the city manager has been vindcaed by the evi- dence. If time should be in vndicating him by verdict If the commission believes the charges have been sustained, time should be lost in saying so
