The tax payers Of Providence might ex-
pend "A million dollars year on the police
department and have apoliceman stationed
on every corner. Still, crime would be
and burglaries and other law breaking.
The power OF any police force to protect
the lives and property of the citizens of
any community lies moro in its prestige,
the fear that it inspires in the wrong docr,
the moral certainty of arrest, conviction
and promptAand efficient punishment for
unlawful acts, than in any mere numeri-
| cal strength. We have no doubt that, with
| IA stronger prestige than the Providence
force has today, with more of respect
and fear than 10 commands i'm the evil dis
posed, the city would be amply protected
with force of patrohnen, detectives and
officers much smaller than it is. On the
other hand, with the force doubled in
numerical strength it would be helpless,
unless il possessed the moral strength and
prestige to make the criminal chary of
approaching this town and undertaking to
dodge the officers of the law for the pur-
suit of his ends. IL is not difficult
matter TO add policemen to tho force,
though il is costly and it is easily con-
ceiyable that the increase of itself would
fail signally 10 guarantee the protection
which the citizens OF the community have
a right to domand from the guardians of
the peace But IL is another and far more
important matter to elevate the force so
that IL shall be wholesome terror to
wrong doors and there viii he fower GRIM
inals TO catch for the reason that crime
will not be so frequent and not so freely
ventured upon. This is entirely n matter
of effective police administration and not
of numbers. Some evidence should be
forthcoming that the present police force
is being handled to the limit of its powers
and to its full advantage before any
patience can be had with the proposal of
remedy for weakness through an in
crease A larger force will simply require
more ability of administration. 1t will
not guarantee that immunity from crime
which the city has enjoyed for so many
years up to recent times and which has
been due largely to the high standing Of
the force and the fact that it was rated
as an army that 1t would DC highly skit-
tish for thugs and thieves to go fooling
with or uron whose territory few cared to
venture.

IL Is Right.

To the Editor of The News.
Sir-Will you kindly settle the follow
[ ing question of cards: A and Is play a
en-point game OF auction pitch. Each
has scored 0 points lt Is AS deal. He
sells 10 Il for two. B pitches the ace OF
spades whereupon A puts on the deuce
and claims the game right away because
MS low counts one before. Is has made
the two he bid. BIS hand contains high
and the game which makes the two he
bid, and he claims that having made the
two he offered his ace counts high and he
gees out He disputes the right OF TO
score the low at the time of playing IL,
and contends that the scoring must wait
until both hands are played out and that
then the scoring is according To the value
of the cards, viz. high, low, jack and
game. Which is rightY B.
Il is right. The hand must be played
out 10 see il B makes the two he bid.
having done so the ace goes out before the
deuce. The game is 10 points not all.
This is the game known as bidding TO
the board, - and B makes all he offered
for the privilege of making the trump.
He is simply required To make as much
~ hc bid and his ace makes the necessary
10th point 10 win. The game Is finished
when all cards are played. There may be
a penalty If the bidder does not make "a
many points as he offered for the privilege
of making the trump, and IL there Is, A
would deprive himself of BIS pcIfalty
were he willing To quit on the showing
of his deuce, for Is had only shown one
point at that stage of the play. The
playing of the cards develops the second
point relieving the bidder of the penalty
and making his ace the winntr of the
game. With or without penalty the ace

Our esteemed contemporary, the New

Democrats on the constitutional COM
mission are all from the city of Prov

Mercury, "that at least one good Dem

But this is not so. The Hon. David s.
Baker, one of the four Democrats is from
North Kingstown. As matter of fact it
would be nightly difficult TO find a

of the city of Providence. Mr. Baker is
indeed, about the only one easily discov-

tie information we can gain that Mr..
Rogantini noticed some wild ducks alight-
ing near his home on the ranch. and. get
ting his revolver, he started out to take q
shot at them. The ducks rose and flew
toward tbe house, and Mr.. R., in his ex-
citement, forgot the direction in which he
was shooting and turned the revolver
loose. A bullet went crashing through
one Of The windows and struck his wife in
the upper lip 3 little below and just to the
left Of her nose. knocking out four of her
front teeth and making a very painful
wound. Our informant says the lady was
fortunate in receiving the bullet from the
side instead Of directly in front. and
thought no serious results likely to occur
from the accident. Mrs. Rogantini Is .
daughter OF John williams Of Duckwater.
