Owinc t doors that opened inward inste.ul f outward, and other violations of sah-ty t-itiiil i t i im in h school house at Notth Collingwood a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, 170 childten were burred or trampled to death when the structure burned ('own last week. The school diiect ors are beins 'censured by public opinion though no doubt each one is a goild citizen whose conscience, today is making life iv living hell for him. As after the Trnipinb-Theatre horror in Chicago n. few yours ago, there :s t'reat stir about gaiety conditions in public buildings all over the country, and the press is full of h w public, boa id.- are now zealous in enforcing long-neglected bui'.dint! 'ordinaii'-.es and laws This flurry will die down in a few w.-elcsan.l thtj old lax conditions will again pre vail. . ": '; '''''.'";'' ' It is nnc of the n.nnmolies of pufilic service that the best citizens of a community make hut indifferent public "officers. .There are many exceptions of course but the general rule i- that a man who is BticceoS ful iii private business affairs is a comparative failure in public office. There are i ihuen reisn o.'fdre.l for tint fact, n mo of which is wholly satisfactory, hut it remains a faet Business men of excellent judgment in 'private affairs make as many mistakes as the shiftless theorist whea placed on the finance committee of a city council. The lcson the. American people have been a century in learning is,, that public affairs a e a trade in themselves, and, especially in ex ecutive positions, to pet he.it, results ni ni sh-iuld bo employed who ha ve made a ctudy apd practice of puhlic IniHin 'ss. This is recognized in Germany in municipal affairs and the result is that the best city governments in the world are found in Germany. For illustration: The municipil chief 'executive office is a profession In Germany. A young man chooses the profession of m i.yor as others choose the law or medicine. He starts in a subordinate capactity and works up by merit until he becomes he tries for a record for efficiency that of the council of a larger city and he people elect a council of a fe m unbars and on them all responsibility to the people for good government is best executives it can find, just as a country Beek the best managers and aries it can afford, to pay. In fact the German municipal governments are like in other respects to the most efficient business body known the modern corporation but the whole story is too long for newspaper telling. It will repay any student of government to look the matter up. , . i Another lesson from the Collingwoof horror of. more immediate application is the necessity of a building ordinance' in towns however small. No building should be permitted to be erected in a town, within or without, fire limits, until certain requirements looking to safety are complied with. A permit should be required for every building, not for the purpose, of revenue, but to nance is followed in the plans, and that a record of all buildings be kept ill the recoider's office. The fee of the permit should be low just enough to cover the expense -prcbubly from 23 cents up to a few dollars, according to the value of the structure and length of plans to be recorded. The amount of the present foe in Enterprise, $5, is a mistake. It amounts to a fii'e on improvements. The ordinance should be revised on more liberal lines.and the permit provisions extended to the city limits. I'Ren's Platform For U. S. Senator Whether I am .nominated and elected or not, I premise the people of Oregon that I will ulways sup port and advocate the enactment and enforcement of laws and con stitutional amendments to apply the following principles in our national and state government: First: Every political party and independent organization in Ore gon has the right to nominate a candidate for every elective oifice, but the people of Oregon have the sole and exclusive right to select th.i person to fill every such oifice, from constable to governor and Unittd States senator. Second. The people of Oregon have the right to instruct the mem bers of the legiilatuiCj and to de mand from every candidate a pledge, in advance of his election, that he will obey their instruc tions. Third: I will advocate the nom itlation and election to the legisla tive assembly of those candidates only who subscribe to Statement No. 1, either exactly as n is w rit ten in the law; or else In eu' s'an tially the following fo-m: (Here follows the text of the initiative bill, "People's Instruction Stale mentNo.l.") As one citizen of Oregon, I am firmly convinced 'hat no man, not even a member of my party, is worthy to be trusted by the people in the legislature or uuy other office, if hn will not promise to obey their instructions.
