On this account we should see that these sisters of hu- manity are given every opportunity to rélax and enjoy fun that every human being craves while they are off duty. Mayor Curtis continues to bungle his way through the darkness. The fire commission is almost'completely disrupted. Commissioner Frank L. Conlon resigned this week and it is believed that he was inspired to leave the post because the mayor insisted on being czar with unquestioning obedience from his official family. The resignation of Chairman A. E. Mag- nell was anticipated and-.ds said to have been hastened because he could not subscribe to the policy of His Honor. It is also rumored that all is not peaceful in the police board, which is inclined to be rather cool in its love for Mr. Curtis. If these frequent resignations were merely incidents that affected the in- dividuals invelved tie damage would be slight. It a facot, however, that they are weakening the morale in the ranks and the men ia blue are be- coming thoroughly disgusted.
