eity class. Austin may enjoy a better insurance
rate with a paid fire department. There is art I
in fighting fires just as there is art in many other
vocations. Paid firemen make the fighting of fires
their business. They sre trained regularly. They
are always on hsnd, or ought to be, if the psid
department is to be efficient. It can not be built
. upon a cheap or unsubstantial basis. Where it is
built in thst manner, it is apt indeed to fail in
efficiency.
Let us therefore build our paid fire department
on a substantial basis. Let the volunteer organi-
sations which hsve rendered sueh good service be
continued as fur as possible as an adjunct to the
paid department. We feel sure that the loyal
spirit'which has prompted their organization will
likewise prompt them to sid wherever possible.
Let us put Austin entirely in the eity class by
making our paid department one of the best of
its kind, by encouraging the good will and co-
operation of the volunteers, and by providing a
first-class fire alarm system at the earliest pos-
sible dste.

this purpose Misses Aden and CosbY
Justice Huglie* ha* publicly expressed himself.
He does not wish the G. O. P. to consider his name
as a presidential candidate even remotely. He
has written of the matter in a manner which in-
dicate* that he is burning the bridges behind him
as a possible candidate of the Republican party
for the presidency of the United States. Of course
it is not impossible to nominate him in a compro-
mise or as a dark horse, but the emphasis with
which he has spoken makes such a course doubtful.
Mr. Hughes, in our opinion, is probably the most
available man to harmonize the Republican dif-
ference*, bring together the Bull Moose and Re-
publican organizations, and present for a reunited
Republican party a strong party candidate. He
is far more available than Elihu Root. He is far
more available than any of the dozen or more
other prominent Republicans and Bull Moose mem-
bers whose names have been favorably mentioned
When Mac. Hughes absolutely refuses to have him-
eelf considered as a camdidate, very naturally the
chance* of the Republican party and the chances
for a reunion are lessened. His attitude will
hardly cause loud cheering around the Republi-
can eamps.

With interest do the citizens of Austin read of
Mayor Wooldridge’s proposal, in his new budget,
for a paid fire department for the City of Austin.
And we are of the opinion that the majority of
the citizens will applaud the effort for a paid de-
partment, though there may be many who will not
be sure that the first plans laid are as extensive
as they should be to provide absolute efficiency.
For more than seventy-five years the City of
Austin has enjoyed the services of the best volun-
teer fire department ever organized in Texas. We
boast of our volunteer fire fighters, but we know
whereof we speak, for the fire record of the City
pf Austin and the efficiency of the fire fighting
under the direction of the volunteers gives ample
evidence of the fact that we are entirely correct.
During the whole seventy-five years or more of
the city’s growth and development, the loyal vol-
unteers have worked splendidly and with absolute
barmony in their work. They have their own po-
litical rivalries, but these rivalries have been no
'detriment to their service. Instead, the firemen
have merely strived harder to excel end they have
found an incentive rather than a drawback in
this keen competitive spirit. There is no citizen
I in Austin who does not appreciate the excellent
work, and the mere fact that there has been such
strong competition and such a desire to do better
work than the other fellow, makes many of our
volunteer firemen loath to put aside their labors
it, behalf of their city and their fellow citizens.

out the plan successfully, and then show ths peo-
ple what he haa done. In the meantime the seekers
after political patronage will be gunning for any
patriot who undertakes such a plan.

PANAMA, Feb. 10.—The Congress
of Christian Work in Latin-America
was opened here today. Dr. Belisario
Porras, president of the Republic, de-
livered an address of welcome to the
100 delegates and visitors representing
th« principal protestant churches in
the United States and Great Britain.
The congress la the outgrowth of a
meeting of the foreign missions con-
ference held in New York in March,
1918, when it whs decided to under-
take an inter-denominational evangeli-
Ration campaign in Latin-America.
The congress will remain in session for
ten days.
Bombardment by German long-range 15-inch
gum has a greater moral than material effect on
the towns bombarded, writes a correspondent from
France. Thi* is due to th* great amount of waste
apace in towns, for a shell ha* just as much of a
chance of hitting a vacant lot aa a building. The
Germane, themselves, in the opinion of the writer,
know how little material damage their shells do,
for after shelling these towns, they generally fol-
low up with an air raid. But they know its moral
i osults.
In th* extreme range firing, the Germans fire
only when the wind is favorable to them. The
noise of the greet ehell is distinctly trying on the
nerves of the people. Ae open towns lie a good
distance back of the French lines, the Germans
get their naval gum well forward, with the result
that they are usually sought out by the French
guns. , .
The main drawback of these bombardments of
open towns is, from the German point of view, their
expense. These great shells run in price up to
several thousand dollars each.
One lesson of the war is that it costs more to
destroy a village than to build it. Ot one point
the Germans battered a viaduct to pieces with 17-
inch and 9-inch howitzers. This cost them nearly
sixty giant shells and countless 9-inch shells, to
say nothing of a rain from field guns. The viaduct
cost 670,000 to build. French officers estimated
the price of its destruction at over 6400,000.
