WOMEN as POLICEMEN.

Whenever anyone wants to ridicule
the idea of female suffrage, he says:
How would a woman look as a police
man? as though that were the sole aim
of al women who favor female suf-
frage. But the Rev. Anna H. Shaw, in
lecture delivered in Chicago a few
days ago, advocated women policemen.
Among other things, she said:
If the mayor of this city had the
insight into existing sociological condi-
tons which he ought to have, and
which his successor of 100 years hence
will possess he would realize the i'm
portance of having women represented
on the police force.
Aad if he wanted to know where to
find women to fill the positions and fill
them well, I could tell him. From the
ranks of the Salvation Army and the
American Volunteers could be obtained
on short notice 200 women, whose pres
ence on the streets of Chicago in uni
form would do more toward the elm
ination of crime than many times that
number of men.
1T is often asked with relation to the
women police idea, how a woman would
go about arresting a man. The fact is
that under present conditions few men
are arrested. Arrests constitute but a
small part Of policeman's duty 1t
ought to be just as much his duty to
prevent people from becoming crimi-
nails as to take them into custody after
they have gone wrong. 1t is in this
direction that the presence of women
on the police department would be a
benefit. 1 would rather be a police of
ficer in Chicago or New York than
mayor of either city,
The idea of woman being a police
man runs counter to all American po-
litical and social notions, and no doubt
it win be long while before such an
idea can even be tolerated. Yet if any
one had said a few years ago that in
the second city in the United States
there would be a woman inspector of
street cleaning, no one would have be-
lieved such person; but Chicago has
such a street cleaning inspector today,
and she has performed the functions
of her Office in satisfactory and bust
ness-like way. 1t isn't quite certain
that there isn't something in Miss
shaw's suggestion about women on a
police force. They certainly could not
be bigger failures in many respects
than the ordinary policeman is, who
often can't or won't see when wrong
doing is going on. And Miss Shaw is
quite right when she says that a police
man doesn't make many arrests. The
world can far more readily reconcile it
self to the idea of amazons than to that
of female policemen. Miss Shaw is
either far in advance of her time. or
sadly out of joint with it.

of too many American products, es-
pecially natural ones, to consent to it.
No doubt the great landed proprie
tors of both Austria Hungary and Ger
many would be glad to have their gov
ernments place an absolute prohibition
on American food products; and there
are many even in England and France
who would like the same thing, but the
European governments will do nothing
of the kind, because of the necessities
of the peasantry and the common peo-
pie. The demand for a combination
against American competition is ia
miliar to us in this country under the
form of protection. Europeanized, it
means Europe for the Europeans, and
the markets of the various countries
of Europe for the people of those coun-
tries. But when this demand rises up
in Europe it is not the beautiful thing
that it is pictured to be when it is
made in this country. Here it is COW
cred with sophistry and false pleas OF
patriotism and the people do not see it
as it really is. When the demand is
made in Europe the American people
see it in it's true prospective. Count
Goluchowski is an Austrian Dingley-
lite; that is all.

SUGAR FACTORY DIVIDENDS.

In letter from Mr.. David Eccles to
Judge Rolapp regarding what Mr.. Ec-
cles said about the dividends paid on
sugar stock. Mr.. Eccles says that the
dividends paid by the Lehi Sugar COM
pany in the last three years were 371b
per cent, while the reporter of this
paper and the ogden Standards re-
porter understood him to say 421a per
cent had been paid in the past two
years, and it was on these figures that
The Herald based an article on Sugar
Factory Investment Returns" The
point The Herald sought to make was
that any institution that could pay 211l
per cent per annum on the investment,
did not need any state aid in the shape
of bounties to help it along. The same
point holds good when any institution
can pay 1215 per cent dividends.
OF one thing we feel quite certain,
and that is that the people of Ogden
and Weber county cannot invest their
money to better advantage than to put
it into a sugar factory. Those who
so invest Will receive good returns on
their money, while to the farmers and
their families who engage IN sugar beet
growing, it will be a god-send. The
people Of Ogden have never engaged in
so promising an enterprise as the erec-
ton of sugar factory is. In this mat
ter they should adopt as their motto:
There IS no such word as fall

MI. Mason and Senatorial Dignity

Washington, Nov. II.
New York Tribune: Senator William e.
Mason, of Illinois, has recently been in
Washington He was taxed with making
remarks derogatory to the dignity of the
senate and senator's in public addresses
which he has been delivering. He prompt
" pleaded not guilty. Here IS the sena-
tors own statement: "All those stories
about my casting reflections on the senate
are untrue 1t is true that in some adj
dresses | have explained the workings
of that legislative body for the benefit
of the people who do not understand
them. L have said that the United States
senate was the most wonderful legislative
body in the world. Gladstone and Bis
marck have said the SANE thing. They
spoke from an outside point of view, while
I talked from the inner coign of vantage.
The people, you know, don't fully under
stand the machinery of the senate. In my
addresses have said that my colleagues
were most courteous gentlemen that they
were always ready to wait on each other,
that we We're never in a hurry in the
senate, which is all true. Incidentally L
may have told how great our mutual for
bearance for one another is, and how our
courtesy is carried to the extent that one
senator may hold up the whole country.
But that was purely an incidental OBJ
seryation. Then l have had something to
say about the rules. There may have
been a suggestion that they were musty
or moth-eaten, but surely no one could
take offense at that. because great
many people like their rules moth-eaten.
There are popular deluSions, and some of
them are that rules were meant to facili-
tate business and not to obstruct it. /
believe that in some legislative bodies that
theory is actually carried out, but the
senate, as any one who has read con-
stitutional history knows, was created
to stand out against the country running
away with itself Meraly because there
is a popular delusions that rules should
facilitate business is no proof that they
should. / think that in making this state
ment one of the newspapers said talked
ironically, but that was q pure assump-
ton on the part of the newspaper: Then
it is fact that l have eulogiZed the sem
ate as a deliberative body There is
nothing so good for the country as de-
liberation, and we senators should not be
hurried in our actions. If we did we
might some time pass a law that would

it was intended was destroyed [ have

MR.. BRYAN WILL REJOICE.

Last Friday evening Mr.. Bryan adj
dressed the Jefferson club of ST Louis
on the retirement of the greenbacks.
Early in his address he said:
Speaking for myself, 1 say to you
that no Republican in all this land will
rejoice at the result of the last cleo
ton (presidentiaD more than I will if
experience proves that the Republic
ans We're right and we were wrong.
And my friends, I am not unselhsh in
saying so; I am going to live in this
country all my life. Ny children will
live in it after [ am gone, and I had
rather that my worst enemy should
bring blessing to me and my children
than that 1 should bring curses to my
self and my Children
Those are sentiments that become
sood citizen and lover of his country.
Men may and do differ radically as to
what the best policy may be, but that
should not blind them as to the mo-
tives OF those who oppose what they
advocate. The Herald has repeated it
time and time again that if the gold
policy of the Republican party will
bring complete and permanent relief
to the people of the country no one will
rejoice over it more than the friends
and advocates of free silver; the great
thing is to bring about the relief, how
it is brought about or by whom is o
matter of secondary Importance. Thus
far it has not come and silver men do
not believe that it will, but none the
less they sincerely hope that it viii.
During the presidential campaign the
advocates Of the single gold standard
were so bitter in their opposition to sill
yer and all who advocated 1t that they
did not hesitate to inpute the vilest
and baseSt motives to them; had they
been convicts incarcerated for the
worst crimes the gold men could not
have reviled and denounced them more
than they did. The spirit they mani
tested was the very reverse of that
which actuates Mr. Bryan, whom they
regard as the very incarnation of all
that is antagonistic to honesty, integ-
rity and good government. Surely
Americans will prefer to think that the
spirit that actuates Mr.. Bryan is the
true American one rather than that
which actuates those who never tire
of denouncing him.

EUROPE AGAINST AMERICA

Count Goluchowskis talk about the
necessity for Europe to take advantage
of the present era of peace to close up
its ranks for vigorous defense of con-
ditions common to European countries
against the crushing competition of
transatlantic nations. sounds very
much like that of a jingo. His address
seemed to indicate an industrial and
political alliance, though he did not
make the idea of the latter so plain
and prominent as he did that OF the
former. Both are impractlcable, but
while it might seem that an Industrial
alliance was far easier of accomplish
ment than political one, yet it would
not be. Early in the century Russia,
Austria and Prussia formed the Holy
Alliance, and while that alliance was
primarily directed against the Bona
parties yet it eventually gave rise to
the Monroe doctrine, and the great
prominence given that doctrine in the
past two years may have suggested
TO Count Goluchowski the idea which
he advanced in his address tosthe Aus
trian and Hungarian delegations. IN
der Metternich the Alliance directed
its efforts to the suppression of liber-
alism in Europe, and such q policy
would again be congenial to the origi-
nal parties to it. A combination, os-
tensibiy against America, would do
much to divert attention at. home from
it's true object. The combination win
hardly be made.
So far as American competition is
concerned there is not the remotest
chance of any combination against it.
Various European countries are in need
