It Was Fittingly Observed Under the Aus
pices of the Sons of Veterans.
Last Friday evening occurred the
celebration of Lincoln's birthday by
the local camp Sons of Veterans and
the Ladies Aid. The ceremonies were
to have occurred at G. A. r. hall but.
the room was full long before the COM
mencement of the exercises and in or
der to accommodate the guests the
assembly was transferred to Jesmer's
opera house. The program opened
with a song by the choir, followed by a
very patriotic prayer by Rev. G. D.
Moore. Capt. I. r. Southland then de-
livered an address after which came
recitations by Charles Harmon. Glen
Howard, D. W. Spaulding and Miss
Lulu Huff and selections by the choir.
I. G. Patterson followed with an adj
dress on Lincoln after which came
other selections by the choir and reci-
tations BY Mrs. Rose Patterson, Miss
Blanche Byers and Mrs. Belle Rogers.
The program ended with ssThe Pa
triots' Doxologyn by the choir. The
mandolin club was present and won
new honors for itself before an appre-
ciative audience.

rather ashamed of the work of its
father confessor, for it sees, as any one
must see, that the good sense of the
State would not suffer any serious in
reference in the matter of the fourth
asylum.
The politicians are just now consid-
erably exercised over the question as
to whether or not Tams BixbY shall be
land commissioner The Republicans
of the State are practically unanimous
in support of him for the place, and he
has better show of success than any
other Minnesota candidate for any
other place. There is more business
than politics in it, as a matter of fact,
for a man like Bixby, who really has
the interests of the State at heart,
could do more for Minnesota in a place
like that than could be done by the
com bined efforts of all the Minnesota
candidates for government jobs. I
have often 'sgone against Bixby in
politics, but I will concede him to be,
as everybody must, the shrewdest and
most tactful manager and actuary the
State ever produced. As land commits
Isioner he would straighten out these
swamp land cases and clear up the
States title in hundreds of cases, and
do it while a lot Of the old soaks who

Fat Policemen and Lean Policemen.

The application In a modified form to the
Police Department force itself OF the Ber-
tillon system of Identifying criminals or
those accused of crime, In order that the
menace of undue obesity or corporeal re-
dundance may be avoided in the public in
tercst, Is engaging the attention Of some
members Of the Police Board whose sue
cessors will be appointed in January.
It Is alleged that many policemen, after
appointment and after they have run the
gauntlet Of the Civil Service examiners, be-
come unduly fat and to some extent dis.
qualified to perform with diligence, celer-
ity, and despatch their official duties. OF
1850 applicants for appointment during
the period covered by the last annual re-
port, it appeared that only twelve were re-
jected on account Of obesity. Fatness,
therefore, is not to be regarded as a serious
bar to appointment. What may be dc.
scribed as acquired or subsequent fatness
in policemen is developed or revealed later
on. 1t has been remarked often by intelli-
gent observers that stout policemen seem
to be more numerous than public inter
ests demand. This difficulty the present
Commissioners hope to abate in part by se-
curing the services of medical advisers
who, by the application of hygienic princi.
pies and by medication, will endcavor to
reduce this cause Of complaint.
Apart from the medical features Of the
case there is another question. The general
public Is interested in ascertaininp whether
fat policemen are less efficient, less SER
viceable, less trustworthy, and less entitled
to public support and approval than those
who are thin2
For ordinary patrol duty, for service in
the mounted squad, and for the usual
routine work Of maintaining order, sound.
ing alarms, reporting membranes, and
rendering aid at fires and In riots, the fat
policeman is, no doubt, at some disadvan.
tage when compared with his leaner and
presumably more alert associates. On the
other hand, all of the duties of New York
policemen are not such that pedestrian
celebrity is prime essential. A corpulent
policeman, for example, is more reassuring
to the ordinary wayfarer than a thin po.
liceman; he inspires an amount of con.
fldence in his responses to inquiries which
is lacking in the case of spare and some.
times cantankerous patrolman. The fat
officer suggests good cheer. He inspires
public respect, and he gives rise, not un-
reasonably, among the unsophisticated, to
the notion that New York takes as good
care of its policemen as New York's police
men take of New York.
Obesity may technically be a disqualifi-
cation, but it is sometimes saving merit
The ornamental glories of New York's
force at street crossings should, and must
be retained. 1t will never do to accept
thin substitutes for them. If the Bertil-
Ion system proposes or requires such a
change, so much the worse for the Ber-
tillon system

1t Won't Help Them.

The Hon. JOHN E. MILHoLLAND and the
Hon. WILLIAM BRooKFIELD are said by
the Ne,o York Times to be "the chief work
ers in movement to put primary elec.
tions still further under the jurisdiction of
the State laws. The Hon. WILLIAM BROOK
FIELD and the Hon. JOHN E. MILHoLLAND
seem to believe that few more primary
election laws would ruin the machine -
and help their little faction.
The trouble is that no amount of new.
tangled law can prevent minority from
being minority. Under any election law
the majority of party organization must
continue to control it.
Consequently the unselfsh plans of MIR.
BRooKFIELD and Mr.. MILHoLLAND to
break down the majority machine and set
up a machine of their own will come to
nothing. Law cannot help them. What
they need is votes.

Not necessarily. The use OF the proposition

some period in, or throughout the course, action,

other use depends upon an elision. as for ex-
ample: The ring offered for sale tonce or
