ON BKLIKFS
Human nature has changed n great
deal since our pollywog days. Man Is
becoming a reasoning animal. That's
what modern business Is based upon.
Business Is a suspicious affair in
which beliefs count less than nothing
and the rattle of tho cash register
provides the test of success. Home
day life will be measured from a
similar reosonable If more sympathe
tic basis; When BOino of these ardent
believers In righteousness take their
eyes V(f the mountain tops and train
them upon the selfish ways of mod
ern life and the fierce terrors of moil
efn ar, they may begin to point the
finger Of scorn at mo ioiks wnose
beliefs are at aero. Whon I search

A PUBLIC
TIIK DHSTIU'CTION' of t lie I'uv :i"in-uln- with (lie ilcnli if Anms
"Willits aixl tin.' serious injury f Fire Chief H"y Klliott, eoiues
us u stunning shock to the entire community.
In larger cities such tragedies frequently occur and arc soon for
gotten in the metropolitan maze of crime und disaster, but in a smaller
place like Mcdfurd, where we are all, more or less, like one large
family, such a tragedy comes close to every home, and the calamity is
therefore a poignantly personal one.
Amos Willits was one of our most promising young business men,
ami heartfelt sympathy from the entire community is extended his
bereaved family, lie died as a volunteer fireman in tlie path of duty,
and while words at such a time mean little, there may be to his fam
ily and friends a certain consolation in the fact that he died in the
service of his city. .
The latest word from Fire Chief Klliott is that his injuries while
1 iiinful, are not as serious as first feared, and his prompt recovery,
is practically certain, which will be welcome news to his relatives and
many friends.
While loss of life in such 'a tragedy, renders other losses scarcely
worth consideration, the fact can't be denied, that the loss of the l'age
Theatre is if genuine public calamity. While it is too early to know
the plans of the l'age owners or management, it is to be hoped that the
playhouse will he reconstructed at the earliest possible moment.
Probably the fire and loss of life, came as a particular shock to
Med ford because this communily has been exceptionally free from
"iicli disasters in (he past. We have had large fires, but no extensive
ones, and this is tlie first fatality in the local fire department for over
a decade. I
The obvious lesson is to abandon the idea that Med ford is lucky,
and doesn't need to take such precautions and make such prepara
tions as other modern cities, regarding the fire hazard. An efficient
fire fighting force is not enough. It should be given everything it
needs in tlie way of tlie best fire fighting equipment.
