quarter of million there are moro than
a million and half of peoIle who are

In eight cases out of ten the letters re-
ceived by Roosevelt are anonymous. That
is the reason the threats do not worry
him. It's a question whether they woIld
cause him any. disquiet if they were
signed. He lived in the western country
and with "bad men" on all sides of him
for a long time. and always held his END
up. He is an adept in the use of all kinds
of firearms and a fine athlete.
Only the other day stonemason, a
big. brawny fellow, called to see him for
the purpose of getting on the force.
Roosevelt used to box regularly every
morning IN an uptown academy. and
soon outgrew the other bers of the
school. He put too much steam in his
blows even for the instructor. So the
stone mason was called in to spar with
the coming president of the police board.

polish off the dude. But it wasn't The
dude could fight. The stonemason soon
learned to respect the smuggling abilities
of the dude. They fought each other
early every morning for long time. If
service examination he will get on the
force. If he doesn't he won't. Roosevelt
likes him and would be glad to do him u
favor, but influence, political pulls, etc..
| are things of the past.
There are nordes of callers every hour
in the dag upon the commissioner. All
'-inds of wrongs are poured into his ear
His sudden proml 'ence has caused many
people to believe that he possesses every
legal power from that of United States
supreme court justice down to street
sweeper. He sees all callers and disposes
of them with terrific speed. One woman
wanted him to come right away and ar
rest the woman living in the next house
to her for throwing things in her back
yard. Cranks who want to argue the ex-

showing why the citizens of New York

| Mr.. Roossvelt's position on this ques

| laws and is not opposed to the sale of
drinks on Sunday more than on any other
day. But while there is a law in exist
ence prohibiting the sale on Sunday he
intends to enforce it. 1t is not within
the scope of his duties to pass Judgment

THE POLITE WORLD

Although the summer has been almost
IN ideal one, society has been 10th to re-
main at home, and never before have the
resorts been so we'll patronized by Los
Angeles people as this year. Impartial
favor has been shown the various places
OF pleasure. tor many familiar faces are
seen wherever one goes. From Coronado
to Lake Tahoe Angelenos have been en-
joying the summer to the fullest extent.
Summer days seem to be made especially
Tor throwing care and worry to the winds,
and one can drift into so many avenues
OF pleasure during the warm, lazy days
that cannot be procured in the winter.
that those who are away cannot be blamed
for lingering for one more dip in the
ocean or another big haul to add a few
more pounds to the big fish stories that
will be told in the fall. But the home
coming will not be dull one this year.
- the winter promises TO be unusually
gay. We have assurances OF good things
at the theaters; there are several large re-
ceptions already in view, and there will
be a merry jingle OF wedding bells, as
there are no less than five of our prettiest
girls who will don the wedding veil and
orange blossoms before many months
have passed, and Los Angeles society will
be fortunate to keep them all, with but
one exception. ana 1t Is to be regretted
that one will make her future home in

Luncheon at r1rs, Braiy's

Miss Cory of San Diego was the guest of
honor at an elaborate and beautiful lunch
con given by Miss Braly last Friday, at
her home in st. James park. Covers were
laid for fourteen. Lavender ribbons and
pink carnations, arranged with artistic
grace, formed the lovely decorations; the
ribbon extended the length of the long
table and could be seen at intervals from
under exquisitely worked centerp,eces of
violets; large bowl of pink carnations
graced the center of the table, and at
each guests plate were little souvenir
baskets of the same color filed with pink
and lavender bonbons. Daylight was
excluded and candelabra shaded with pink
mellowed the lights over the charming
appointments of the table, AS soon as
the guests were seated soft strains of
music furnished by string orchestra
were heard from the adjoining room,
and quite as dainty as the decorations
was the repast that followed. Those
present were Mrs. Robert Wldney, the
Misses Katherine Kregelo. the Misses
Louie and Alma Robinson, the Misses
Dot aud Lillian Wellborn. the Misses
Hattie aud Jessie kmball, Sarah Good
rich, Gerichon, Eleanor Pattee, Ida

The clerk who manages the mail of the
most talked about man in New York
has no sinecure. Roosevelt likes to begin
the day by going over these letters.
There is as much excitement in them as
in COW punching, a trade IN which the
head of the New York police excels. It's
an off day when less than fifty threaten.
ing letters are received. These come main
ly from the hangers-on Of saloons and the
small fry criminal classes generally.
Roosevelt has driven the eight thousand
and odd owners of saloons we'll nigh era
zy by his Sunday crusade against them,
and as each proprietor has at least six
hangers on vino swear by him, Roosevelt
has a fine brigade OF 5000 men ptted
against him. This, Of course, represents

he people of New York that all reform
ers are not theorists, and consequcLty
impraoticable. He says he is reior.ner.
but he doesn't indulge in the luxury Of
theorzing unless honesty and sound bust
ness methods are to be classed as theo-
retio. He knew nothing about running
police department when he took the
helm. He makes his plans as he goes
along and learns. He is manipulating
the machinery OF the force to suit local
conditions. This is the foundation OF his
plan. Find out the local conditions in
each precinct and then adapt the police
work to suit them. In many respects
Roosevelt has shown the Byrnes regime
to be farce comedy, particularly as to
the suppression of disorder.y resorts and
the enforcement of the excise law.
Roosevelt usually remains at headquar.
ters until o'clock. Then, if it is to be
one of his roaming nights, he starts for
one of his many clubs, where he dimes
and reads until 10 o'lcock. About this
time the policeman is beginning 60 feel
tired. There are fewer people on the
streets and he can indulge in restful vio-
la.ions of the discipline laws with little
chance of discovery. At least he could
do so before Roosevelt adopted such un-
holy habits OF prowling about all parts Of
the city at night unearthing the uni.
formed delinquents.
1t may be in Harlem that the commits
sioner will strike like a bolt of lightning.
Or it may be the far west side OF the
down town slums of the East Side. or per-
haps in the turbulent quarter of Hell's
Kitchen. where the occupants amuse
themselves by dropping bricks and heavy
household utensils upon the heads of
passing policemen. 1t is safest to walk
in the middle of the street at night time
in this quarter, a fact which many
policemen have learned. There is less
danger of being am bushed by ambitious
thugs. No one knows where the COM
missioner will strike, but he has already
worked so much damage to heretofore
spotless records that the policemen have
created a system OF signals by which
they inform one another that the terror
is abroad. What this sys EN- is has not
been learned, but it is doubtless worked
with the aid of saloon hangers-on, who
are impressed as messengers and sent fly
ing about the precinct on their mission
OF alarm.
On his first nights tour Roosevelt
found only one policeman doing his
| duty. Now it is hard to find one police
| man not doing his duty. Whether it is
the result of the signal system or an
| honest Improvement i'll the work of the
| men is hard to say. 1t is probably a
| com bnation of both.
| The police have not taken kindly TO
| this prowling about of their chief, and
| their friends are even more indignant.
Roosevelt runs the fisk of serious injury
| during his wanderngs. Not long ago a
| man who looked like Roosevelt was mis-
, taken for the commissioner by crowd OF
| Harlemites. They tried to mob him, but
| he escaped by feetness OF foot and catch
| ing an elevated train. But Roosevelt's S
nerve is good, and although he is not a
big man, he is fighter, and there is a
| general impression that when he is
| sleuthing at mig hit he goes we'll heeled. 3
