foi holding Bryan to account because he
did net devote as much time to the Middle
West as he might, could or should have
done, that hardly seems fair, for be it
remembered that New York city went Re-
publican for the first time in Presidential
election within the memory OF man, and
New York state gave the biggest Repub-

did not go to Pennsylvania, but one of hls

time it must be admitted that the good
order of the city would be preserved still
better if the police force We're what il;
should be in numbers.
TINS lack of Policemen has been pointed
ont more than once. The attention of
Congress has been directed to it in the
reports OF the local authorities and b.
verbal representations Of citizens to the
District committees OF the Senate and
House of Representatives. Strange to say,
an these urgent pleas have only been
partially successful, for, at the last ses-
sion, Congress made an allowance for less
than one-haif of the number Of police

ti;nates.

the addition provided through the appro-

nuluber is still too small for the area tc be
covered. The lawless element has still
too much swing, and in order to restrain

The rapid expansion OF the city and the

RULER OF WILD MEN.
An Engiishman Who Made Himself n
bornean Monarch


Bornean Monarch.
A lecture was delivered Tuesday
evening in Golden Gate hall by Rousi-
sevielle Wildman, late United States
counsel at Singapore The subject,
says the San Francisco Call, was
"Borneo and Rajah Brooke" Brooke
was an Englishman who wandered
away TO the northern shores of Borneo,
and there became an absolute monarch.
The tasks which he accomplished were
those at which England and Holland
hesitated. Brooke had to fight against
pirates and the head hunters OF the
island, and also to overcome the sultan,
who had settled almost in the same
territory. And Brooke, by his indomi-
table energy, his great executive abil
ity, strategic power and determination
became the victor. The headhunters
OF northern Borneo were a pretty bad
lot, for, as the lecturer explained with
grim vividness, none of the women
would marry a man unless he had at
least one human head to decorate their
happy domicile. The pirates were
equally as undesirable neighbors; they
were intrepid to last degree, sanguin-
airy enough to be characters for dime
novels and relentless foes who resented
any encroachment upon their domain.
With this unpromising material Brooke
organized a kingdom that paid taxes,
sustained an army and navy-such as
they were-and maintained and re-
spected its new government. Slavery
in every form was overcome and in
nine years the pirates to a man were
under subsection. Brooke was the
