Morrill's new Police Commissioner at
Wichita has taken such action 90 to In.
diCats that all efforts Of the admins,
tration to enforce the law there have
been suspended. The board as reor-
ganized relieved all the old officers of
the force. The new officers appointed
arc not prohibitiOnists, and In fact they
are absolutely opposed to the enforce
ment of law. The new Chief of Police,
Frank Burt, is Secretary Of the general
organization of the Mystic Brother
hood, the new resubmissiOn order.
Tiger Bill Campbell, the Assistant At
torney General appointed to close the
saloons, has given up his job in disgust
and has resigned.
The anti.salOon war at Wichita Is at
an end, therefore nothing has been &C.

AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.


London's newest paper. the Daily Conr-
ier, chose Shakespeare's birthday for
it's own "borning." 1t makes its appear
ance in folio size and in pamphlet form,
having some twenty pages. Well-printed
and clean, it makes a bright bid for pub
lie favor somewhat Oh American lines.
Two radical departures from what may
be termed the chronic English journalism
are newsiness and headings. An effort Is
made to present wide variety of matter,
complete digest or chronicle Of news
of interest, as well as of dramatic, musi-
cal, literary and sporting affairs, each
article, feature or independent para
graph having heading, so that the read
er is spared the necessity, forced upon him
by other papers, Of getting half way
through and article before he can learn
what 1t is about. A popularity Is the alb
sence Of editorials all editorial comment
being made in connection with the impart-
ing of the news or information. The
Courier is the nearest approach to an
American newspaper, in its comprehen-
siveness and classification, among London
journals; and that the departure from the
old conservative style of acephalous lead
ers, editorials and general news para
graphs is a welcome one the popular de-
mand for the paper in the last two days
would seem to indicate. One other virtue 1t
has In the moral tone 1t adopts; the editors
seem to have resolved that a newspaper
out permitting It's columns to be deiiled
with scandals, disgraced by sensations or
brutalized by the exploitation of crimes
and criminals. In these respects the Lon
don press is really the best In the world,
but the new daily starts out with the
cleanest pages Of all. cleanness that
does not diminish Its brightness.
