DANGER FROM EXPLOSION

Director Dey, of the Board of Freeholders, says there
is no danger to the property in the vicinity of Morgan on
account of the explosives stored there, but he is concerned
about the men working in the plant because of the quanti-
lies of black powder that is 'strewn all over the place."
We hope the director is right as far as the property is
concerned for the danger to the men can be remedied, to a
large extent, by taking the proper precautions. But when
we read of a million dollars worth of damage being done in
Chicago a few days ago, throwing the city into a panic,
when a quantity of high explosives that were stored about
eleven miles from Chicago's downtown district went up, we
wonder if anyone really knows just how safe property is in
The vicinity of either Morgan or Rartan as long as such
Quantities of explosives are kept there.
In the explosion that shook Chicago two powder mag
azines went up. Each magazine held six cases of dynamite
and each case contained fifty pounds of dynamite. But TINT.
which is stored in such quantities around here is even more
powerful. than dynamite. No one is able TO tell what caused
the dynamite to go off near Chicago and it would probably
lie the same if the vast quantities of explosives stored about
here went Off. There would be a congressional investiga-
lion. Of course, and probably in due time The government
would make good any losses, but That doesn't help much in
uilaying the fears of the people %hereabouts as long as these
vast quantities of hi2h explosives remain in This vicinity.
The only way to make sure that there is no danger
from an explosion is to have the deadly stuff carried away
10 a more remote section Of the country. II is 10 be hoped
that the f%reeholders will keep at this matter. with The assist
nfice Of our representatives nj Washir~,"n un'ff t'ie is
aaaDly accomplished.

TAKING CARE OF PARTY MEN

When the city decides to change the political COM
plexion of its municipal government without waiting LOT
The terms of the various appointive offices to expire the
faxpayers must expect to pay the cost. The people ought
to know by this time that it is not ability that counts IN
public affairs, the question is whether or not a man is al
liated with the right political party.
When the party in control OF the city government, mas
men of the same party holding all the Offices everything
seems to move along smoothly enough and the single Oh
hceholder is sufficient to handle the work Of his particular
Office. AS soon as the Board of Aldermen changes hands,
however, while the various municipal jobs are help by men
Of a different political faith it suddenly becomes necessary
to have additional men to assist those in office, the addition
al men, of course, being of the political faith Of the party
that has just come into power.
Since the first OF the year we have had a Democratic
government while most of the Offices of the city are still
held by Republicans, their terms of office having not yet
expired. So it suddenly becomes necessary to employ an
extra engineer Democrat, of course-to do the work
that, under ordinary circumstances, would doubtless have
been done by the regularly paid city engineer. The tax
payers, naturally, stand the extra expense involved in having
q Democrat do the work while the Republican still draws
the regular engineers salary.
Now we have a Democratic lawyer appointed TO as
sist' the regularly paid city attorney. But the city attorney
Is q Republican and although he seems to have been able
to carry on the work Of his Office without assistance up to
The present time, with the advent of a Democratic Board
Of Aldermen it becomes necessary to have a Democratic
lawyer also-with the taxpayers paying the extra cost, OF
course.
The city clerk, the collector of revenue and several
other important city Jobs are still in the hands of Republic
cans. Judging from the way things are going, it will be a
question of time only when an excuse will be found to have
some observing" Democrat appointed to assist them-the
extra salaries to be paid by the taxpayers, of course. A start
has already been made in this direction by naming one OF
the aworthv' Democrats as clerk to the chief Of police.
Yes, it is serious business changing the political COM
plexion of a municipal government. 1t would be decidedly
advantageous to the taxpayers if the terms of all the ap-
pointive offices were made to expire at the time the new
party takes charge. In that case it would doubtless be
found that one engineer, one city attorney, one city clerk
and SO on, would be sufficient. But as long as the terms OF
those who are of a different political party continue the
present expensive luxury of paying two men for every job
will probably go on. 1t doesn't seem to make much differ
ence about the amount of taxes the people are paying and
the need for economy. The party men must be taken care
Of regardless of expense-as long as the expense is borne
by the taxpayers.
