A Profitable Investment.

If the cost OF marketing the crop
OF given country can be reduced
by 10 per cent through the build
ing of good roads, that country will
find good roads a paying invest
ment. Good roads once built will
last almost forever, and tie cost OF
maintaining them is relatively
smaller the better they are built
In the first place. Cropsare mark
eted year after year, and the un.
necessary expenditure of time and
effort, the unnecessary wear and
tear on wagons and harness, result
ing from bad roads repeat them
selves annually.
Money spent on good roads is an
Investment which pays handsome
annual dividends. They are as GER
tain, too, as the annual return OF
the warm spring sunshine after the
frost and SHOWS of winter. Good
roads are most profitable invest

The Wise Man.

The wise men of the east---press
and pulpit--are discussing whether
the death penalty should be inhic
ted for arson, az it is becoming so
common. Three hundred years ago
the death penalty was inflicted in
England for stealing yet men stole
Just the same. The wise men of that
time, on notable occasion, consult
ed as to what should be done to pre-
vent the alarming increase of larce-
ny. They could think Of no greater
punishment than death and the
churches maledicLion for an eterni-
W OF death hearafter. Although
hundreds of thieves bodies were con
tinually hanging from gibbets, men
continued to steal. About that time
the lord chancellor of England, in
o work, told these wise men that if
they would let the people employ
themselves on the land and not take
from them so much rent and profits,
instead of turning them out and de
nying them work, that the men
would not need to steal, but hun
ger drove them to it. That no man.
made law would prevent men STAR
wing or doing crime, if that law vi
hlated natures law. So with these
increasing cases of arson. So long
as men are compelled by law and
custom to haYe money, and the
rapid interpolation of capital is
denying them money as legitimate
result of labor, men will kill, burn
and rob. II they desire to have crime
cease they must make crime un-
profitable. If houses and stocks of
goods are to be safe, we must give
employment to the needy idle, if all
would suffer loss by reason of crime
there would be no crimes commit
ted. Ii all lost, and none gained by
burning, the incentive to burn and
destroy, both property and life, is
no longer felt, or who would steal,
Ii they could easier make living
by honest and respectable work,
which every one could have. "Lead
as not into temptation but deliver
us from evil, is very old, but our
wise people have not yet learned its
meaning. Our barbaric system de
MES men the right to the needs of
life for their labor and places great
wealth before them If they will steal
burn, kill, embezzle or forge, ard
starvation or want if they remain
honest, and then wonder at the
number of crimes There could be
mighty few fires if there were no
tempting insurance policies. Still
less if all the people had an equal
chance as they should have.
"May take nay life and all-pardon, not
that;
You take my house when you do take
the prop
That doth sustain my house. You take
my life,
When you do take the means whereby
I live.

proceeded to gently drive them out

This enraged Ray, so much as to

RETIREMENT OF
CHIEF CROWLEY
He Is Now in a Position
to Do So at Any
Time.
Passage of the Pension and
Salary Bills Taken as a
Compliment.
The Chief Says He Will Not Tender
His Resignation Just at
Present.

The information received from Sacra-
mento yesterday that the Governor had
signed the bill increasing the salaries of
certain officials of the Police Department
gave great satisfaction to those directly
interested.
The bill. which takes effect lmmedi-
ately. increases the salary of the Chief to
$4,000. The office of chief of detectives is
created at a salary of $4,000. and Captain
Lees will now be known as Chief of De-
teetives Lees. The salaries of the five
captains-Wittman Spillane. Gillen, Dun
levy and Robinson-Property Clerk
Moran and Clerk Healey are increased
to $2500 each and the salary OF each of the
fifteen detectives to $500. The total in
crease per month OF all the salaries is
$966 6S.
The lieutenants, five in number, are not
included in the BILL. because the Office was
created by the Board of Supervisors. They
draw salary of $140 per month. and as
their duties are of responsible nature 1t
is felt that it would be only in the sense
of Justice that their salaries should be in
creased by the Board OF Supervisors.
The question of the retirement of Chief
Crowley, now that the amendment to the
pension bill covering his case and the
salary bill have been approved by the
Governor, has again cropped up.
Last year shortly after the death of his
son the Chief rendered his resignation.
1t was pointed out TO him that the pen
sion act called for twenty years. consecu-
tive service in the department, and as
there had been break in his twenty-three
wears OF service he would not be entitled
to his pension il he insisted upon the ac-
ceptance of his resignation. Acting upon
the advice of the Police Com missioners
the Chief withdrew his resignation.
The Chief felt gratifed yesterday when
he learned that the salary bill had been
signed by the Governor as he considered
it was a deserved compliment TO the de-
partment.
"The salaries of the captains" said the
Chief, "were utterly inadequate. and were
very much lower than in any other city
on the continent. Iam very much plea ed
that the Legislature has increased them
to fair amount.
"As TO my retirement have no inten-
ton of doing so just at present. am
now placed in the position that | can re-
tire when l like, and circumstances will
guide me as to when that shall be. II
will not be just at present anyhow, and
that is all can say"
The pension bill enacts that any mem
Der of the department alter servin,
twenty wears and having attained the age
of go years or over can retire on half pay
according to the rank held by him for not
less than one year prior to the acceptance
OF his resignation by the Police Commits
sioners.
That is to say to secure the half pay of
a captain there must have been at least
one years service in tnat capacity.
This does not apply to the Chief, as he
has held no other position, but it is
thought that he will yet serve for at least
one wear under the increased salary, so
as to DO away with any cause for criti-
clsm.
