We hear a good many criticisms
today about the frebell not being
rung after the first alarm last night.
There is very good reason why it
wasn't. The force consists of the
chief and four firemen. One of them
rang an alarm and then all hiked for
the fire. They couldn't spare a man
out of the scanty force to stay and
ring the bell. Ringing the bell has
always been left to the volunteers,
and there were no volunteers
present at the fire station. It is
precious seconds were lost i'm lighting
the lamps on and cranking up the
out-of-date and wornout machine that
carries the chemical engine. There is
no disputing the fact that the town
should have new and uptodate truck
for this purpose at once. Our fire de-
partment is neglected too much.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1919-07-10
During Four Weeks Tour Made in
Middle West Finds Congress
Approved

Approved
Enthusiasm among the women of the
west in starting their political organi-
cation work was one of the noticeable
features of the four-weeks' tour of the
middle west just concluded by Will H.
Hays, chairman of the Republican
National Committee.
Adopting or adapting the suggestions
outlined at the recent Republican con-
ference held in Washington, D. c., to
state requirements, the women of Okla
homa, Indiana, Missouri and Illinois
are strongly carrying out the idea of
party activity in their organization
work, not as women but as units in the
party membership, and with the fullest
possible participation in the party's
affairs.
In Indiana, so close is the cooperation
and coordination of the men and women
that the chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee is a man. the
vice chairman, with equal powers, is a
woman. and both men and women con-
stitute the state committee, doing
away with the separate committee of
men and women adopted in most of the
states.
A feeling of keen appreciation over
what Congress is doing and it's efficient
and comprehensive needs of the country
is evidenced throughout the west by
both men and. women, MIR. HAYS finds.
Condemnation of existing autocratic
and socialistic tendencies in the govern
ment and confidence in the Republican
party to correct this situation were the
chief reasons, in Mr.. Hays opinion,
for the result of the election last No
Vember, and this confidence has been
greatly strengthened among all people
of the west by the splendid accomplish
ments of Congress, notably the federal
suffrage amendment; the return of the
telegraphs and telephones to their own
ers; the restoration of the power of the
interstate commerce commission to fix
rates; appropriation bills which, while
appropriating plenty to do what is
