We guess that is a generally conceded fact. And yet that is what the fire department men of Seattle have to stand. Of course they are not engaged in manual or) mental labor every hour of the 24. But they ARE) on duty every hour, liable to be called to a fire at) any hour, and under a certain strain every hour, AND NOT AT LIBERTY TO ENJOY ANY RECRE.- ATION OR ATTEND TO PERSONAL AFFAIRS AT ANY HOUR. That’s the situation with Seatte’s fire boys, and) that’s why they and others interested in the matter are fighting for the two-platoon system, or division of shifts. It’s high time that this proposition should be finally taken up and decided upon by the city author- ities. Seattle can stand the cost, and we will get better fire service, AND THE MEN AND THEIR WIVES AND FAMILIES WILL BE GETTING ONLY WHAT THEY ARE ENTITLED TO.

But let us not forget that the now prosperous farmer has bought his present condition at cost of ceaseless toil and tireless energy, of almost inconceivable self-denial and sac- rifice, of disappointments and discouragements that only the fittest could survive.
