Revolt Against Raw Deal

Pennsylvania appropriately chose Constitution Day
to give the Deal the most smashing blow it has suffered
since Rhode Island revoted against Mr.. Roosevelt.
The Raw Deal faction in Pennsylvania wanted to rewe the
State lberalize iget rid Of certain safe
guards of individual liberty which it contains and clear the
way for lot of Raw Deal regimentation.
More scrupulous prudent than certain gentlemen
at Washington Pennsylvania Raw Dealers were at least will
ing to submit this plan to the people
They did not bhey disregard the existing State consitu
tonet give them credit for that much honesty and de-
cency. .
And the people, voting the proposal to change it, said
''NO' by overwhelming majority.
Pennsylvania has done the rOhole Nation distinct
ice by thus publicly repudatng the dctatOra and crack
pot pioso ply preached in Washington and reuffirnng
its faith in CONSTITUTIONAL government.
If the result had been different the Raw Deals balyhoo
brigade would have made the welkn ring with shouts that
Pennsylvania had Endorsed their RULE AND RUIN pro-

But no cheers have been audible from headquarters

Now, I never thought of
THAT. OF course, the worst

Bluebeard had his weaknesses,

Ninon de lEnclos may not

Don Juan broke a lot of

In a memorandum submitted
to the commission at a regular
meeting recently, Commissioner
Irwin Stewart condemned the
practice of setting up regula-
tiOns and then permitting broad
casting stations to violate the
promulgated rules.
Not so long ago Commissioner
George Henry Payne, speaking
in NeW York State, electrified
variouS educators By informing
them that he earnestly en-
dorsed education by radio in
stead of Gllo1Ding radio broad
casts to be consumed By COM

After his speech the educators
demanded to know if he be-
lieved they should be permitted
to express their theories. He
replied in the affirmative, to
their apparent astonishment.
1t is believed that the pro-
gresSive group in the commits

Fire Protection

T. an interesting coincidence that on the very day
that President Roosevelt issuing proclamation des-
ignating the week of October as frepreventlon week.
Fire Chief Charles E. Schrom was giving The Washing
ton Times dscouragng interview about the condition
of the local department..
Chief schrom told The Times that the local fire de-
partment is not step-child in the local government
set-up but is IAN 0UT-AND- OUT ORPHAN"
And the Chief cited specific instances to show just now
much of an orphan his department is.
One of these and one JUhich deserves the most
serious and immediate consideration is that nUOLU-
ing st. ELizabeths Hospital.
According to the chief the fire truck at Congress
Heiphts which would be the first unit available in case
of fire at the institution, is absolute antique,
with aerial ladders
The Chief says:
"We'd be in a fine fix it a serious fTe OrOEe
out at the hospital"
WHEN YOU THINK THAT THERE ARE MORE
THAN FIVE THOUSAND PATIENTS AT THE HOS
PITAL. YOU REALIZE THAT THE CHIEF IS NOT
OVER-STATING HIS CASE.
But the Congress Heights situation is not isolated.
Chief scrom recently submitted his annual report to
the District Commissioners.
In that report he discusses the condition OF the ap
naratus upon which the city must depend for fire pro-
lection.
The Chief finds that after requirements provided In
1885 and 1886 appropriation bills made, there Will
still be in service in the department twentyone pumping
engines hose wagons and trucks which will be FIFTEEN
YEARS OLD OR OLDER.
Speaking of these the Chief reports:
"It has been the departments experience that
fire apparatus cannot be expected to render
satisfactory service for longer than fifteen years.
and the use in actiUe service of large number
of pieces older than this figure is A CONSTANT
THREAT TO PROPER FIRE PROJECTIONS"
If you had an automobile that was fifteen years old
you wouldn't expect it to give you very efficient service
The likelihood of getting decent service out OF fire
equipment which is that old is even less.

Curtailment will be effected
by the House Appropriations
Committee, under the direction
of Chairman James P. Blu

Requests for money will be
rejected as leprous.
Although most persons agree
that curtailment must come,
they also agree that indiscrimi-

sumption is often detrimental

that ambition is "the parent of all
UirtueS."
Ambition is like fire. Uncon-
trolled, fire will ravage forests and
cities. Controlled fire is the parent
of steam, the life blood of industry,
the force that created what we call
"CiUiization."
Voltaire has described the worthy,
ambitious man: "The rnodesty of
certain ambitious persons consists
in becoming great Without maxi
ing too much noise; it may be
said that they adUance in the
uOOrLd on tiptoe."
The two young people in the pic
ture above, and all young people,
should remember these words of
Bruyere:
"Tn the wOrld there are only
tWo ways of raising ones self,
either by ones own industry, or
by the wedkness of Others"
There can be no choice between
these paths over the hill to the por-
tails of youths "gay castles in the
clouds" HARD WORK, zones
Own industry" is the only way.
It may seem easier, quicker to rise
in the world through dishonesty,
trickery, taking advantage of the
weakness of others. By that path
castles in the air will always be
"just OUer the hill," a mirage. Only
by HARD WORK, at some job that
makes a permanent contribution to
the happiness of others, the advance
ment of learning - something that
LASTs-can we ever hope to reach
and OWN our "gay castles in the
Clouds"

Listen World!
By Elsie Robinson

Bringing beauty out of bru-
tality-that was woman's big
job. And her pride in her per-
sonal appearance was tied up
with her big job.
Women wear beauty as
plant wears flowers-and for
exactly the same reason-as a
lure that life may be carried on.
And for that reason women put
beauty into their homes-that
life be carried on with greater
finenesS and pride.
Men hunted food for the
body
Women hunted food for the
soul.
And when a woman ceases
to care for beauty you may be
very sure that she is sick in the
very foundations of her life.
TEACHES MORAL
Women should delight in love
ly shining hair, soft, fragant
skin, dainty clothes. They should
be proud of those things, and
from their pride in their own
beauty they should build more
beauty around them.
Much of our married misery
and melancholy would be lifted
if every woman could have a
pretty new dress at least once
a month and go to a beauty par
lor at least every two weeks.
And the moral of this is: Get
your wife that new fall outfit,
Jim. 1t will pay big dividends.

But these three writer's have most
wisely defined "anbitior."
Quintillian wrote: "Ambition in

not a Uice of little people,"
And Beecher wrote: "A noble
man compares and estimates him
self by an idea which is higher

by one lUhich is lower than him
self. The one produces aspira-
tion, the other, ambition. An,bi-

man aspires."

fading physical vigor, the caution,
bred of experience, that is the enemy
of progress. They can but "drean,

They must be satisfied with the

A book often kindles fire in the
breast Of some farm boy or city
bound child, kindles a fire that will
burn brightly and light the minds of
men with NEW books.
Great books, great music, great
paintings often fire the mind and
soul of young boys and girls, give
them AMBITION to change "gay
castles in the clouds" into "cloud-
capped towers" of achievement.
AMBITION is the force that
translates young air-castles into real
towers of accomplished greatness.
Great writers have portrayed
"anbition" as a Uice. Gray wrote:
"The path of glory leads but
to the grdve."
