f FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 1915! INSPECT THE TIKE HOSES.

Monday’s fire, with its serious losses, should bring home timic tan anything else the need of regular inspection of the City’s tire11 boxes. The fact that the box from which the alarm was sent £n Monday could not be opened lor several minutes, and then only jr force and with great difficulty, shows that there is something

(Bong somewhere, and that should not be.

An inspection of the box at Garrison Street by the editor

flowed that not only was the key rusted so that it would have been

y difficult to have inserted it in the lock, but when the box was ned, after waiting for two minutes, it was plain that the phone not working. In case of fire, at least five valuable

minutes would liave been wasted there, and then the person giving [ the alarm would have been forced to rush to the nearest house in P which there was a phone and call the fire-house. More delay—-and

P4ny delay in the case of fire is dangerous to say the least There should, we repeat, lie a regulat inspection of the fire-

J alarm boxes, and the sooner SU'-li inspection sLuts the better foi

gteyone concerned.

WORKING FOR PUDUC 1MPROI EM ENTS.

The death of so iiromiiie-it a newspaper nuu as William RockMill Nelson, publisher cf the Kansas *• City Star,’' alway's raises tht ■ question among newspaper workers and readers as to how such a

£reat journalistic success l|£s been achieved.

One reason why “Star '’ has had so deep a hold in iu f Constituency has beetjffe fact t' t it wa. such a persistent workei for local improvcuiStreet irtring, jnrks, art gallery—these

w 0 ^pP things for which the ‘‘ Star ” lalxiretl in and

Public improvements come slowly. The majority of the people it the average community would naturally be contented with rather L alovcnly surroundings. They enjoy spruccness, neatness, and B handsonic architecture if provided ready made. Hut as to im- ^ proving their own properties or paying taxes for public impiovc-

ments, they arc loth to help.

Bnt every place lias iu men with a vision. They see the defects in a town’s appearances, and realize what moic adequate stn-| roundings would mean. In the fuiclrout ol these men with larg. i I topes is almost always the home newspaper. It usually is n t a ary taxpayer ; but it pays itt Dir share, dthcr directly, or iudi-| g in rentals, which enable teal estate owikis to jm) thcUxcs. Agitation for public iniptovemrUU would not get far without I:the newspaper. While the majority ol the people ol most towns | me indifferent to civic beauty, or loth to give up a few dollars extra | tax, the newspaper has faith in the future and a discontent wiih j

I what is sordid or primitive.

Only rarely is the field big enough to win any such reward as - e to the distinguished publLhcr ol the Kansas •• City Star." Hut be newspapers should 1*- able, ami usually ate able, to look altout F to this and that ^inuneiit i^^iott, and feel that they had a latgc 1

r ahare in winning it.
