, The Bfen ham Fire Department
Jiow has on* of the finest pieces of
fire-tighttag equipment that can fa#
made, the splendid La Prance pum-
per ordered eome time ago by the
city commlaaion having arrived Tu-
esday. The magnificent new pum-
per waa unloaded Wednesday morn-
ing and was the center of an adinlr.
ing group at the fire station all day
Wednesday.
The pumper cost fll.SOQ and is
of the latest and most medera de-
sign, and will last twenty years,
states Fire Chief E. p. Davis. It
will throw three to six powerful
streams at once, snd will replace the
old fire engine. It can pump from
any well, and this places the Fire
Department in better position to help
fight conflagrations that may occur
in neighboring towns that have no
waterworks. This pumper Is the
best that Is made and the Fire De-
partment is Justly proud of It.
The first fire truck purchased by
the city was bought in 1910, and is
still giving good service, and the new
pumper Is expected to last twice as
long.
E. L, Burtner, representative
the American La France company is
here to deliver the truck, made as
official test and give Instructions re.
garding its use.
Chief E. P. Davis states that the
test will be made Thursday after
noon, starting at about 2:80.
With this expensive pumper sd
ded to the fire equipmeut, and with
a faithful and efficient Fire Depart-
ment, Brenham has splendid tire
projection, and It Is not
that large fires will g*la much head
way in the future. Of course the
pumper would be useless without an
adequate water supply, but Brenham
always has that.

"Politically the League of Nations

weaker; but one must not Judge it

with materialism. Tits morn tag I
sat in the press gallery listening to
men from all over the world discuss-
ing and trying to get at the soul of
such complex problems as the Near-
Eastern mess, disarmaments, curren-
cy, and so on. As yet very little
has been accomplished, much re-
mains to be done—but the out-
standing fact Is as clear as crystal—
serious-minded, , peace-loving men
from all over the world a(;e getting
together for the first time and ex-
changing viewpoints for the good
of all concerned.
"And after having traveled all
over the world and talked with lead-
ers of thought In many countries, I
see evidences of a new and wonder-
ful desire of mankind's to tesr off
the rind of cant and hypocrisy snd
get at the soul of things, la Rus-
sia I saw tens of thousands of young
people sitting In their overcoats and
coughing from the awful cold of un.
heated rooms in the middle of win-
ter, in order to learn, learn, learn.
And at night I saw grown men and
women crowding the night classes
and writing on slates on account of
the shortage of pencils and paper,
all to learn more and more, and
learning, appreciate In a larger de-
gree the mysteries of lite and their
relation with the scheme of thing*
And In Poland I saw the university
students sleeping in doorways snd
railroad stations in Warsaw, so that
they could save lodging money and
buy books instead. And the Qer
man students tell me that from the
teachings of their natkn
Goethe, Schiller and Heine, they are
stripping the artificial Prussian
coloring, studying them aa the poets
were meant to be studied.

this new movement to 'get at the

UThe Country Editor(j|
(By W. D. Trotter)
When Alexander the Great called on Diogenes, he found
the old cynic quietly sunning himself. We came very near
saying, "and smoking his pipe." Too bad that IHogenes
didn't know the joys of a good pipe But on with the story.
"I'm Alexander the Great," said the man ot the hour, with
all the pomposity at his command. "I'm Diogenes the
Cynic," replied the man with the lantern, lazily batting his
eyes. "What can I do for you?" asked Alexander, with lias
pomposity. "Get from between me aad the sun," replied
the Cynic, batting his
were not Alexander the Great, I would like to be
the Cynic."
Ask ten successful men what they would like to be if
they were not what they are, and the chances are that at
least five of them will reply: "I'd like to be the editor of a
good country newspaper."
There is much common sense mixed up with that an-
swer. Perhaps it is like a dog baying for tho moon. He
wouldn't know what to do with it if he got it, but that
doesn't keep him from wanting it. It takes a peculiar type
of genius to be the editor of a good country newspaper.
First, he must be a philosopher and, second, he must be as
fearless as Richard Coeur de Lion. As a country editor
friend of mine once said, "The greatest success lies in
knowing when to stand and bluff, when to fight, and when
to run."
The average country editor has no axes to grind, and he
thinks his thoughts and says thprn, hewing to the line and
disregarding where the chips fall. If you want to get the
best thoughts on any subject, and get them dean and free
from prejudicial influence, get the country newspapers and
read the editorials.
The country editor asks no quarter and gives none
when it comes to fighting for the for common decency
and community progress. He is a versatile edit, two He
knows all about fishing, corn licker, scripture, law, farm-
ing, sociology, political economy, weather, crops, elections,
machinery, science, astronomy, psycho-analysis, birds, ani-
mals, relativity, doctrines, etc,, etc.
He is the poorest paid, the worst abused and the beet
loved man in the whole country. Be may not have much
luck in collecting from his subscribers or getting his towns-
men to jar loose with a little advertising; he may take his
pay in wading boots, chewing tobacco and sweet potatoes,
but he does manage to crowd a heap ot living into his years
and that is the reason so many more affluent men would
like to have his place in the sun.
