 The president of the fire board would have done better had he ''The fire com missioners are creatures of city hall. City Hall is in poli- tics. It is nothing unusual for appointments of this nature to be made. The commissioners did as they were told to do; re- luctantly, but they did it.

 Such conduct on the part of those in authority was a denial of the right of earned promo ton to those in the service. The injustice is increased, be- cause the appointee is man past middle age. who in a few years must retire, and who must become a burden upon the pension fund of the depart ment long before he can pay his proportion into the treas ury of the fund.
 MT. Leonard is conscious of the difficulties of his position. He makes little attempt at jus tification, beyond saying that there was no man of lower rank in the department who can do the work-no man with sufficient plainly, not in stended as a serious statement

PAPERS CONSOLIDATE
TO ESCAPE TOTAL RUIN

The Tribune and the Leader, pub
lished at Powell, Wyo., have con-
! solidated in an effort to stem the tide
of pressure brought upon them by
the new government orders for paper
conservation. B. c. Peterson, former
editor OF the Leader, has gone to
California, leaving his former COM
petitor in charge of the business to
weather the storm If he can.
Ten years ago there were two old
newspapers published at Ozark, Ark.
and the editors, c. c. Colborn and
H. 7. Hampton, decided to cut the
operating expenses in half by con-
solidating, and they sorted up their
equipment to make one good plant,
sold the rest and proceeded to build
up the very best county paper of
which their united efforts were cap
able. Ozark has had a real news
paper ever since that, and its cir
culation has grown to one of the
largest In the state of the county
class. As the circulation increased
the service was improved and the
equipment modernized so that for
years it has been the pride of the
county.
At Greenwich, Conn. there we're
two papers owned by two million
aires, and three years ago they COM
bined them into one plant and
changed to semi-weekly. Now that.
the war orders are in effect concern
ing weeklies and semi-weeklies, they
have boiled business down to see
what they were justified in printing
and it made one weekly issue. Now
the old city of Greenwich has what
1t had half a century ago-a weekly
paper.
A. Hansen. publisher of the Star
at Latimer, Iowa and Editor White
OF the Press at Pollock, La, have
suspended publication on account Of
the new conditions imposed by the
war.
No publisher will be permitted to-
mail his publication to subscribers;
at mere nominal price-that is,
a price Of say, 20 or SO cents year,
just enough to keep the account alive
and not enough to give the publisher
a reasonable return on his product.
He has to charge living price or
quit,

German General Stair.

The German general staff is not the
creation of the kaiser. 1t is the Gre
alton Of the army, and in Germany
the army Is the nation. In the old
days, when the principally of Bran
denburg was becoming the state of
Prussia, 1t was the elector who gov
erned with unchecked, autocratic au-
thority. Even when Brandenburg had
become Prussia the kings of Prussia
dominated and owned the country as
completely as the head Of the house
dominated the family, or the manu-
facturer owned his business. The cab
met of the great elector, the tobacco

Potsdam library Of Frederick the
Great, these have merged into the Of
