Ol'R FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Raleigh has the best and by far
the most efficient volunteer fire de
partment, in the entire country. We
doubt if there is a town in the coun
try with a well paid, department that
can show a better or as good a rec
ord as our department. The-': de
partment has been worked up to its
high state of efficiency because all
the boys have felt proud of our de
partment and have taken an interest
in it. This paper has been an ard
ent supporter of the department and
we had hoped that in the near fu
ture we would see the department'
turned into a. well paid department
and every part of it strengthened and
fitted with all the best and latest
fire-fighting 'appliances and that we
would have a fire chief paid for all
of his time.' Every department must
have a competent head and this man
must be so that he can give some time
and thought to the development of
his department, otKefiulae'JC wDl'.Be
teriorato and the men will lose inter
est and become disorganized. We
have had a good chief and we had
hoped that more interest would be
taken in his department and that it
would be placed on the level with
other departments and that he would
be paid a regular salary and that the
city would have all his time (or some
other competent man) to direct our
fire department.
As it is we see that the chief has
his salary cut in two and the driver
gets more than the chief. Competent
men are not going to work and risk
their lives for nothing and the city
hould not expect it. Raleigh Is
growing fast and is becoming a big
city with millions of property to pro
tect from fire. On account of the
enormous number of wooden build
ings In the business section of the
city we need more protection and
more men and nten who are paid to
look after the safety of the city. A
volunteer department goes to pieces
when the Interest : goes down and
when the city shows tills kind of ap
preciation for the chief it is likely to
produce had results.
We are not saying this in a spirit
of criticism, but on account of the in
terest we have in our department and
the interest we have In the men who
are conducting the business of the
city. We feel that the department
should be developed and improved and
that the safety of the city should be
the first consideration. We may save a
few dollars In salary and lose half
the town any night by a fire. We
have been very fortunate In the past,
but let us remember we are living In
a city that has hundreds of old fire
traps In the heart of the city.
This i3 proving a notable week In
Raleigh, with four college commence
ments in progress at the same time.
Many visitors have been here to at
tend the closing exercises, and with
the hundreds of boys and girls in the
various schools enjoying the greater
liberty of commencement week the
city has taken on somewhat of a holi
day appearance. It Is a matter of
gratification, not only to Raleigh, but
to friends of the institutions every
where, that the schools have all en
joyed a year of unqualified success.
Peace, St. Mary's, B. U. W. (Mere
deth College), and the A. & M. have
CTRADESI i . ic c COUNCIL
all had a successful year's work, un-
'interrupted from any cause, and rich
in results omaineti ana tne proauci
sent forth to battle with the affairs
of life. Dr. Stockard, Dr. Lay, Dr.
Vann, and Dr. Hill may well feel
proud of the result of their efforts. In
noting the closing of the colleges it
it also worth while to note the clos
ing of the State School for the Blind,
which occurs Friday. While its work
differs a great deal from that of the
other institutions noted Its purpose is
the same, the equipping for the work
of life of ourvoung people. That
these students are handicapped makes
the work harder and the path more
difficult. But wjth sublime' patience
the instructors of the blind have done
their year's work and are rewarded
with abundant success. The closing
exercises will take place Friday night
at the institution, and those who at
tend may expect to be surprised at the
wonderful exhibitions shown as a re
sult of patient, practical teaching.
The ..efficiency, of the students will
prove a revelation to many people.

EXPENDITURES.
The government expects to save
$10,000,000 by cutting down ex
penses in the departments, stopping
custom house leaks and smimsrlina:
frauds.
That there is much unnecessary ex
pense attached to the administration
of the government everyone believes,
and that the government -' is losing
millions of dollars through custom
house frauds no one who has read
the papers during the last few weeks
can deny, it is an encouraging sign
to see the heads of departments cut
ting off expenses in ten million
chunks, as has been done in the army
and navy departments. Collector
Loeb's activity in cleaning out the
rascality in the New York custom
house is also encouraging and is to
be .' commended. Collector vLoeb as
secretary to the' lute. 'president was
the liiitt of many a joke, but he has
shown since he took charge of the
New York custom house that he is tit
for something besides serving as a
scape-goat for the -former, president.'
Getting back to the matter of gov
ernment expenses a Washington spec
ial to The Baltimore Sun contains
the following:
!!"That'the government has not re
ceived the full share of its revenue
under the Dingley bill has been made
very clear during the past few
months. The sugar trust case, in
volving millions, is only one instance.
Throughout the tariff debate Chair
man Payne and Senator Aldrieh have
insisted that there have been gross
abuses 'In '-undervaluation which have
resulted in the loss of large sums of
revenue. On top of this conies the
announcement lrom New York of
frauds perpetrated upon the govern
ment through smuggling in goods
that should have paid duty, and Col
lector William Loeb's activity in run
ning down these smugglers is every
where praised in Washington.
"The efforts of President Taft and
his cabinet committee on budget to
prepare the estimate for federal ex
penditures for the fiscal year 1!U1
and the joint effort to pare down the
thousands of estimates submitted by
various departments, indicates other
fields for an improvement in finan
cial administration. The fact that
Secretary Meyer has been able to cut
off $10,000,000 from the forthcom
ing estimates for the navy and that
$10,000,000 is to lie chopned out of
the army estimates, while correspond
ing reductions are to be made In other
departments all are considered sig
nificant. These things bear oix the
contention of Chairman James A.
Ta wney and others t hat this method
of federal economy should have been
put Into effect long ago. "
"A prominent New England mem
ber of the senate finance committee
believes that '.$30,000,000 can be
saved through the operations of the
committee "oa budget of the senate
and the work of the cabinet budget
committee, If this ran he done and
other millions can be saved through
the Introduction of honest valuations
and the elimination of smuggling,
something like $10,000,090 may be
saved the government during the fis
cal year 1911."
The Wrights are cettinz m-riom for
Nlrshlps from all parts of the coun
try. Not only are they getting many
American orders, but from the unex
pected places of the world. The
Shah of Persia is one of those who
has given an order and there are also
orders from China and an inquiry has
come from Iceland regarding the cost
of delivering an aeroplane in that far
away Island. The fever Is spreading
and the time when we will all fly gets
nearer and nearer.
We cordially invite the editor of
The Charlotte News to come over to
Raleigh and see a real baseball team
in action.
Meredith College sounds good,
much better than the name which the
institution has borne heretofore. May
the success of the college be as
marked and as gratifying under the
new name as It has been under the
two old names.
Perhaps that resident of Iceland
who wants a Wright aeroplane has
dreams of making a "dash for the
pole".
