WHEN A FOOT YEllS FIRE"

About the only way we learn is By
suffering. We refuse to beiieve 1t ca1
happen to us until It does happell
Then it Is too late to do any good to
those who have been victims OF neg
ligencs and inaction.
A fool yelled fire in a moving pic
ture show in New York. whereupon
a stampeded mob trampled six little
children to death on the floors and in
the Hobbies.
That is the way Of a mob Of STAN
peded cattle or humans. It overrurs
and brushes all that Is in its way.
Continuing the comparison, people are
much like cattle in taking fright ard
stampeding. The primitive instinct
Of self preservation overrides and de-
stroys temporarily judgment, courage
and mercy, and crowd becomes a
many headed maniac.
The Iroquois disaster hung asbestos
curtains before the stage OF every
theater.
Disaster has been responsible for
laws that provide sufficient exits from
public halls and amusement places
and that demand that aisles shall be
kept clear and exits unlocked.
Those whose duty 1t Is to execute
the laws should see that the Hobbies
of public places are not crowded or
the exits blocked in any way. That
Is their plain duty and evasion or
neglect means bloodguilt In case OF
disaster II that duty Is neglected. 1t
Is quite as important as to see that
automobiles are not parked before
amusement places.
Nobody knows when or where an
other fool may scream fire or when
! fire may break out. There is only one
assurance Of safety and that Is the
vigilance that insists that safety drst
shall be observed within the law.

decide what is best to do. Either we
can start show OF our own with
Billy Whiskers as the main attrac-
ton. or we can take him to another
circus and get our own price for

"All right" said Jim, TIN with
you. It looks good to me. We are
both of US sick Of this old show, any
way. The other circus will hear about
the goat and monkey act and will
have to put something on to match

CUTTERS AND sTaYERs.

France willed to win. Great Britain
W1lled to win. America willed to win.
So the war was won. The will to win
Is the essential Of winning.
It applies to men In the struggle
for competence and measurable sue
cess precisely as 1t does to nations in
war
The will to win wins horseraces.
Courage and staying quality has
made champions than natural speed.
The horse that quits because another
hangs on his flank determinedly loses
the race.
1t works out all the way from
angleworms to elephants.
Just what it is, that connection be-
tween the mind and the body that
keeps some men striving and refusing
to give up. isn't to be found by the
anatomist or explained by the physi-
ologist. But It's there and It counts.
Fact is that it counts most of all.
They say God hates a coward"
That's only another way Of saving
that the gutter loses and the slayer
wins. Down at the bottom of things
it isn't so much natural ability, or
indeed training. If he has the will he
will get the training. It's the will to
win that does most of the winning
We've all seen 1t over and over again,
the man with limited capacity and
small chance who simply wrestled
success away from fate as Jacob
wrestled with the angel; and that
other gifted and afforded opportunity
who failed miserably. One quit and
the other stayed. One fought and the
other weakened. One had the will to
win. Perhaps it required years of
effort and struggle but he came out
at the top Of the heap.
That's why widows, left destitute
with children usually keep the little
families together, send the children
to school one and another way and
make men and women of them where
mere man farms them out or offers
them for adoption. The instinct of
motherhood Wills to win for her chill
dren.
That's why so many men stay on

A Warming About the Schools.

In the current edition Of American
Education there appears an earnest
warning to the effect that at the next
session Of the New York legislature
another effort will be made to dimin-
ish, If not to abolish, the present
large measure OF independence from
local political influences and COM
pulsions enjoyed by school boards
thruout the state.
Local administrations often do find
irksome their inability to control the
members Of these boards, as regards
expenditures and other matters of
even more interest to politicians in
office. but. everything considered,
and in spite of the superiority, on
general principles. of home rule to
legislative rule in matters of local
interest. American education prob
| ably is right in defending tn esystem
now in operation as better than it's
opposite.
The rightness, however, is one
somewhat hYailiating to confess, or
ought to bePfor to whatever extent
| mayors, aldermanic boards and like
repositories OF power would subordi-
nate public school interests to those
I OF politics, to just that extent are the
people In the several communities to
blame, even more, than are the Of
ficials who would do such things
tfor the people elected them to office.
However, we must deal with the
world as it Is, not as it ought to be.
and it is true. that the schools seem
to be safer in the hands of the legis-
lature than In those of the stay-at-
home politicians.-New York Times.

so THEY ELECTED A WOMAN COUNCIL

Out in Oregon in recent city elec-

Don't jump at the conclusion that
the women turned out and elected
women as women or that the novelty
of the opportunity is responsible for
the results. Another explanation is
much more plausible and much more
likely to fit with the facts.
The chances are that the man who

those lazy and doless councils that
are not unique by any means in any
state. It might have been crooked

just lazy one. 1t wasn't 50 much the
women who were elected as the
council that was defeated. The folks
had grown sick and tired Of the gang.
And SO they took a shot at the new
deal.
The chances are that the men who
had charge of streets and alleys lad

could have been done with slight OK
pense and work and That he said he'd
look after it and didn't. 1t may be
that the police head slept on the job
or didn't have the pep to see that his
force was working or that he let
things run loose until public opinion
just forced him to get busy in a
spasm of activity. The suspicion MAJ
have existed that there were under
ground connections between the po-
lice powers and the bootleggers and
gamblers and the like. There may
have been and very likely was favor
itism to individuals and a clique. And
so the voters turned out, men and
women and cleaned house with them.
1t is not at all unlikely to occur
elsewhere. Now that women have the
ballot they are likely not only to
ask embarrassing questions Of coun-
ellis but to do a lot Of voting that will
be even more embarrassing than the
questions.
Women in some ways are not as
well fitted for councilwomen as
men are for councilmen; but in other
ways they would fill the bill much
better than the average he council
man does, They might not make a
spotless town but they'd run vacu-
UNI cleaner over spots and places
that need attention.
