POLICE RECOMMENDATIONS.

~ HTFF. OF POLICE LEES in his annual re
[ port. urges the importance of supplying the
- police with steam patrol boat for the water
front bicvcIes for the use OF special squad and
automobiles for patrol wagons. The steam
atrol boat is declared be imperatvely necessary,
while the bicycles and the automobiles are recon-
mended in the interests OF economy and efficiency
Concerning the patrol boat there is not likely to
be much If any controversy San Francisco has
now become large city The water front covers
rnany miles and the amount OF property aioat upon
the bav is large Police protection is needed there
as we'll as within the city, and it will be false
economy that denies the money required to pro-
vide it.
The suggested use of bicycles and automobiles will
meet the opposition OF all who by nature adverse
to the adoption OF methods of doing business
Such persons will argue that have managed to
live in the past without those machines
tinue to do in the future. Progressive citizens
however, will take different view OF the matter
They will consider the suggestion upon its merits
and if the innovation will increase the efficiency OF the
service and tend to economy they will favor it
ii we may Judge by the experience of other cities
the benefit derived from bicycles and automobiles will
be large A bicycle squad has been in the police ser
vice Of New York and other Eastern cities for long
time and the advantage possessed by such squads
fer patroing parks and suburban districts has been
frequently noted
The automobile has been sufficiently tested 20
demonstrate its worth The postmaster at Buffalo
recently experimental with in collecting mail
and found it enabled the mail carriers having long
routes to accomplish their work in much less time
than it could be done with horse and cart
1t may be there will not be sufficient money in the
city treasury defray the first cost OF supplying the
new equipments Ii such be the case, the improve
ments must OF wait 1t should be borne i'll
mind however, that the cost OF purchasing will be
about the only additional expense entailed. After
ward there will be saving AS the Chief says in his
report there at present in actual in this de
partment nine patrol wagons each OF which drawn
by two horses. with relief horses to assist them.
1t must be apparent at glance what a drain the
keeping and OF these animals is upon the finances
OF this department. and any which should
look reasonably and practically the diminution OF
this expenditure should, l submit, be regarded ia
vorably."

The moral harm of such a comment is OBJ

pardon has been granted by the chief

every citizen to say naught derogatory of

THE SOUTH AND THE CANAL.

ern people as a whole showing a considerable
appreciation OF the prevailing prosperity OF the coun
tr at large and rapidly becoming erterprsing
as those OF any other section.
The awakened business instincts of the South are
evinced in many ways The establishment OF factories
and mills the opening OF mining industries and the
construction OF railways have been accompanied by
certain developments in the domain OF politics which
are not less conclusive OF the change that has
over Southern sentiment since the days when agricu-
ure was regarded as the only industry worthy OF d
gentleman.
Among these political developments the revolt
against Bryanism the part of the influential
papers and leaders, and the increasing interest taken
in the construction OF the Nicaragua canal 1t is in
deed to the canal farsighed Southerners look for
general Improvement OF all the conditions OF that
ton. They believe the canal will change the CONNER
cia conditions OF the South and give it for the first
time an open way for expansion.
In recent article on the subject the Louisville
Courier Journal said

The opening OF the canal will change all these CON

through it the ports OF the South will have direct

rich countries that lie along it. So eager are the
Southerners for the construction Of the water
