The Fisher Case.
To the Editor of The Gate City:
In regard to the case Of John
Fisher:
The council has done everything
thew could for him under chapter S-A
of the code.
Mr.. Fisher was unfortunate, but il
the council should go beyond the
rules laid down by the state legis-
lature for compensation of such
cases, it would open the door for an
immense amount of special relief.
II, as Mrs. Fisher states, Fisher is
not well or strong. he is receiving
aid from the city as he is drawing
his regular salary as fireman.

No wonder is it then that our souls
are stirred when we see the most
brutal nation of history trying 10

must win this war or we will lose our

In joining in this world war we
are paying a century-old debt TO

our benefactors of that time, now that
her very life is menaced receive our
aid.
Three things are necessary to win
this war-men, money and spirit.
We should get the spirit, and then the
money and soldiers will not be lack

to do this, and as the war goes on we

gether.
Those Of us who are too old or 9TH
erwise untitled to fight are not ex-

US to be strictly in the service, doing

paid for out of the county treasury
in 1912 or so. The lad" shows about
four years interest. On its face that
looks bad. No regular tax is likely
to be advertised four years. The
county treasurer seems to have been
