Police Instructed to Shoot.
Deputy Police Commissioner Devery. who
until the new police law went into effect was
best known as ''chief," has started considera-
bic discussion over instructions he gave a
policeman on trial before him a few days ago
The officer was censured for not being freer
with his revolver while on the Bowery beat
The policeman had become mixed up with
three men committing robbery and had hes
itated to shoot one of the men in fight, al
though he finally did shoot at and hit his
man Devery informed him he should use
his gun more promptly If he wanted to
keep cut of trouble, and cautioned him to
shoot at the first intimation of trouble in that
section of town, because of the lawless char
acter Of its habitues. Get your prisoners to
the station-house said Devery, mo matter
how you get him there" But there are some
people in town venturesome enough to critf-
cize the advice of the chief as being on
the principle of lynch law, to ''hang man
first and try him afterwards The Devery

In Behalf of Education.

AS regards education. the natives of Gel
Ion owe great debt of gratitude to the vari-
Gus missionary bodies which, since 1914, have
been at work among them. 1t was they who
gave the first impetus to the instruction of
the people; it was not until the seventies that
the government, under Sir Hercules Robin
son, gave any official encouragement to edu-
cation. Now in making liberal grants for
public instruction the government of Ceylon
pays special attention to technical and in
dustrial training, very noticeable result
of which is to be seen in the great improve
ment in appearance of the Cingalese youth,
especially in the towns, under the influence
of western instruction. and athletic training,
while the expenditure of public money in
training and maintaining a volunteer in
fantry has not only provided valuable
means of supplementary defense, but has
gone far to improve the physique and bearing
of the young men of the country.
AS an illustration of the general policy
of the Ceylon government toward the natives,
it is interesting to note that in the last
thirty years free grants of a., 600 acres OF land
have been made after due inquiry, to the
people, while a large extent has been granted
at half value, and a still larger area Of
clearly proved 'encroachments" has been
transferred at moderate valuation.
But while Ceylon undoubtedly owes very
much to the fostering care Of the British
officials, and to the enterprise of the Euro
pean community generally, the energy abil-
ity and real grit Of the 1900. 900 native in
habitants of the island have proved beyond
all question that, whether it be in the learned
professions. in the civil service or in trade
in all ranks and in all classes-the native can
mot only initiate. but emulate the skill and
the attainments of the European colonist .

year, and Mr.. Keene would rather have 1t
so than make million in the street. The
hobby of Mr. Keene has always been horses,
and his hobby of hobbies has been his great
racer, Domino, king of the 2year-olds. DOM
ino was the pride Of Mr. Keene's existence,
and we'll he might have been, for he was the
greatest horse that ever lived, and his win
nings in 1895 on the turf amounted. to 100000,
a sum which in that year Of panics saved Mr.
Keene from financial disaster. And Com
mando is a son Of the beloved Domino, so,
after winning the classic Belmont stakes at
the close Of the Morris park meeting, 1t is
not to be wondered at that Mr.. Keene is
better satisfied with things of this life than
If he had made million. For millions have
become rather ordinary to him, but king
of the turf world he has had but once before
in his life. Longstrect was horse of much
the same caliber as Domino, and 1t is rather
a remarkable coincidence that the nearest ap-
proach to Commando in this years turf won
ders is The Parader, son Of Longstreet.

The St.. Paul Dispatch had clean
scoop on all Its contemporaries yesterday.
1t was the only paper that announced in
big head lines that the supreme court had
decided that "the constitution follows the
flag" The credit for this brilliant ex-
elusive seems to be due in part at least
to the learned and lucid exposition Of the
opinions of the court by its Washington
correspondent who said that the decision
was such a sockdolager for the admins
tration that it made Secretary Root look
pale. He assured the readers Of his pa
per that this decision was going to play
hob with congress and compel it to pay
more attention in the future to the ad-
monitions of the Dispatch which he con-
graduated upon this endorsement of it's
courageous attitude by the supreme court
the Dispatch having been in favor as We
infer, of the theory that the constitution
goes with the flag. The remarks of the
Dispatch to it's correspondent for having
imbibed an entirely wrong idea of the
verdict of the court, we do not care to ad-
NIT to the columns of a family journal.

Manila, Feb. 2.-Archbishop Chap

At a public session of the commits

fact that the governing body of the
federal party had unanimously sub
scribed to what all had individually
expressed, namely, that religious is
sues be kept apart from the party.
Speaking of the provincial govern

communication had come from the
military governor to the effect that
some of the provinces were ready for
the establishment of civil govern
ment- At present, President Taft said.
the provincial governments would be
subordinated to the military and the
