"BE CAREFUL or FIRE"
URGES CHIEF OF POLICE

Chief Hufstedlcr told an Avalanche
reporter Tuesday that he was going
TO do all he could 10 caution the peo-
pie Of Lubbock against the use Of
roman candles, sky rockets, and other
Fireworks that might endanger the
property and homes Of Lubbock, and
said that insomuch as this is 4 very
dry season there could not be too
much care taken.
There is law against using fire
works within two blocks of the
square, and the Chief does not want
TO spoil the fun Of Christmas Of any
one, but said that he was afraid there
would be many fires in Lubbock dur
ing that time if unusual care was not
taken 10 prevent il, and he is dead
right about il. We are sure that
there is no one in Lubbock who
would wilfully endanger the home
Of his neighbor, but we are quite sure
that there are those who might not
think Of the danger before IL is too
late, and this article is written TO re-
mind you.
Lubbock has been doing some
splendid building during the past few
months, and we are sure there is no
one in Lubbock who is more inter
ested in keeping il built" than is
the chief Of police, and let us all re-
member that his warning is only for
our protection, and do all we can TO
follow his advice. "The Christmas
season is always a busy season for
ne. and there cannot be too much
done 10 prevent fires during this
time" he said Let's stand by Chief
Hufstedler on this matter, and there
win be no fun lost, and the old home
town might look a lot better after
the season is over than it would if
we were not cautious.

The Colorado Rangers

of the Walsenburg World, bitter attack upon the
Colorado Rangers in the course of which it is said
If it were not for the providing shoup's
Colorado Rangers. the state might have had at least
s2ooo.ooo with which to aid the flood victims
If anyone point to single necessity for these
Rangers will shut but from all been
able to and from what have others
there never earthly for this body of uni
formed. armed men The people elect officials to en-
force the laws and when necessity demands there
the national guard and the regular army.
During the Pueblo flood shoups Rangers could be

We wouldn't swap American Legion boy for

Ing we hear. about s2oooooo of good state funds.
At the present time the Colorado Rangers are the
only force provided for the enforcement of state laws
and for the support of government The National
Guards under the law are not state militia but
they federal subject federal authority
exclusively Any person. therefore, who declares that
the State Rangers unnecessary be either
ant of the facts he must be favorable to law break
ing, he have the idea that laws be executed
without force either active or reserve.
As for the record of the Colorado Rangers in Pue-
bio in time of flood emergency. There Is need to
draw any comparison between any of the organizations
or individuals the aid of this CITY. but
it is matter of simple iustice to say that the charge
made by World against the Rangers in Pueblo not
merely utterly false bnt utterly absurd.
Without giving unlimited approval to every act Of
every individual Ranger, the emergency work Of the
Rangers Pueblo has been all that the best traditions
Of that kind of service could demand BY day and by
night in the difficult and dangerous service in the
hghw ways leading to this city. the Colorado Rangers
have proved themselves worthy Of the best traditions
Of the Texas Rangers and Of the Cansdish Mounted
Police. Higher praise than that cannot be given.
Far from proving the folly of the establishment of
the Colorado Rangers the Pueblo flood gives additional
proof of their need and their efficiency.
The truth is-and make here direct reference
to the Walsenburg World, which may be merely mis-
taken in its opposition to the Rangers
comes generally either from those who trying to
partisan potcs in opposition to tho public inter
ests or else from those who law breakers them
selves in sympathy with lawb breakers. The man that
talks against Coorados only of enforcing law
is talking against Law Enforcement, and the that
suspicion of being a criminal anarchist.
