PROMOTED FOR CALAMITY.
4 New York Policeman Rewarded For
Catching . Burglar.

y New YORK foiiceman Rewarded FOe
Catching . Burglar.
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt writes an
article entitled 1.-The Roll Of Honor Of
the New York Police" for The Century
Mr. Roosevelt says:
Early in our term we promoted pa
trolman TO the grade Of roundsman for
activity in catching burglar under
rather peculiar circumstances hap
pened 10 note his getting q burglar one
week. Apparently he had fallen into
the habit. for he got another the next
week. In the latter case the burglar es-
capped from the house soon after mid
night and ran away toward Park ave-
nue.. with the policeman in hot chase
The New York Central railroad runs
under Park avenue, and there Is q
succession Of openings in the top of the
tunnel. Finding that the policeman
was gaining on him. the burglar took a
desperate chance and leaped down one
of these openings at the risk Of break
ing his neck. Now the burglar was
running for his liberty. and it was the
part of wisdom for him to imperil life
or limb. but the policeman was merely
doing his duty. and nobody could have
blamed him for not taking the jump
However. he jumped, and in this par
ticular case the hand Of the Lord was
heavy upon the unrighteous The bur
glar had the breath knocked out of him,
and the "cop" didn't When his victim
could walk, the officer trotted him
around to the station house, and a week
afterward he himself was promoted, it
appearing upon careful investigation
that he was sober, trustworthy and
strictly attentive to his duty.
Here again 1t seems to me that we
followed the eminently common sense
plan of promoting man who had earn
ed his promotion by faithful and dis
tinguished service and by proved supe-
rior capacity. We cared no more for
the policeman g views ON the tariff or
the currency than we did for those of
the burglar. Our interest and the inter
est Of citizens generally was to have the
officer catch that burglar and otherwise
do his duty. If he did his duty, we
were for him; il he did not we were
against him. In neither event did we
care whether the officer had or had not
the backing of the congressional delega-
tion Of the city or the central committee
Of the county. OF course, as before, this
exposed us to wild outcries from the
local political bosses and heelers and
much sneering at "civil service reform, T"
but all the outcries and sneers meant
was that we were doing our duty as de-
cent men and as public officials, with
some slight appreciation of what was
implied by the words honor and up
rightness Political organizations are
eminently necessary and useful, but
when they are seized by professional
spoils politicians Of low morality, who
run the machine" in their own inter-
ests, who clamor against honesty and
defy decency and rail against that de-
vice for obtaining clean government
which is known as civil service reform,
then it is time for all citizens who
believe in good citizenship to rise in re-
volt.

American Table Manners Not So Open to

II has been conceded that the degree
Of civilization people has reached may
be accurately measured by its dietary.
Now, some one has said that 1.-THE

YOURS. the Frenchman dimes" In view
of this statement one wonders what the
English have been doing through the
centuries TO have advanced so little. We
Go not prets nd to answer for them, but
would say for ourselves. we have been
hewing our way through forests, pio-
neering in every direction, in every
sense-ample apology for feeding in
stead of dining
But, of course, it was a Frenchman
who made the declaration, and, Of
course. he made it long ago. when, NOR
tifying though it be, honesty compels
us to acknowledge that we may have
been guilty. Times, however, and con-
ditions have changed. and not even the
most bigoted Frenchman will refuse to
admit that when the American has
reached the dining point he will have
more to dine upon than any other man
in the world The culture Of man in
America will demand all the art in his
cuisine that France by study has evolv-
ed. with the added merit Of honesty In
his food. the disguises incident to pow
