WHILE STUFFED paddy" was being
taken down from a telegraph wire In
tbis city on last 81. Patrick's Day, a
wag remarked that the figure was
dressed in policeman's clothes. A by
stsnder asked how he knew this, when
the wag replied: because the seat OF
his breaches are worn out, and that is
the only place q policemsn's clothes
wear out, for be sits down SO
much" Many citizens are much OF
this way OF thinking. The average
policeman has the idea that his sole
duties are to make an arrest when ne
sees q fight, or to capture, or try to cap
ture. a thief when a robbery Is COM
mitted. Policing the city In the full
meaning Of the word "policing" doesn't
enter his hesd-he hasn't time. AS the
police reports show how few arrests
are made and how few fights and rob-
berries are committed, attention is
called OF the entire police force to few
attractions of the city laws to which
they might give their attention: The
unseemly conduct ofcrowds Of boys and
youths, and even men, who congregate
at various street corners to the annoy
ance of the nelghbors and to passersby;
the throwing of stones In the streets
and the defscing OF property by vicious
boys who think there are no laws
which they are bound to respect; the
throwing into the streets of all kinds Of
trash and In many instances Of filth
which give the streets most unpre.
sentsble appearance and seriously
threaten the health of the city. The
police should report promptly the in
fraction OF all sanitary laws and as
summer is now upon us this is good
time for them to start.

POLITICAL.

Congressman Swanson and Attorney
General Montague, candidates for the
gubernatorisl nomination, addressed
open air meetings at Newport News
last night. When 1t was announced
that both men would be there last night
an effort was made by the Swanson
forces to arrange joint public debate.
The Montague forces replied that such
q debate would do the party more harm
than good, and that as they believed
they had the majority ofthe voters there
with them they could not consider the
challenge, for such IL was. The plat.
forms for the speakers were Eve blocks
apart. There were 500 people 10 the
gathering which heard Mr.. Montague,
and less than 1000 In the Swanson
audience. The greatest enthusiasm
prevailed at both meeting.
A dispatch from Richmond says: The
friends Of ]. Taylor Ellyson are still
cherishing the secret hope that some
where in the gubernstorisl shuttle their
favorite will turn up at the top.
AS far as Mr.. Ellyson is personally
concerned be has maintained digniied
silence since his voluntary retirement
from the field, but there is no doubt of
the fact that 10 view OF the contest sn-
gendered 10 many counties. especially
10 the southwest, he is regarded as e
warning elements.
Mr.. Ellyson has many very warm
friends all over the State who appreciate
his party services and esteem him for
bis many admirable personal quantities.
The fact that no delegates are being
chosen in his name does not prevent
any delegate 10 the convention from
placing him 10 nomination should the
occasion arise.

Wanted, Sharp Kniyes.

81 have often wondered where one
could find the sharp knives of the
wcrld,'' said an observant citizen,
land really the problem is one of some
seriousness, and one, upon reflection,
is almost driven to the conclusion that
there are no sharp knives in the world
"Have you ever noticed how hard it
is to find a really sharp knife2 Stop
the first man you meet and ask him
to let you have his knife for a minute
and listen to what he says about it.
Nine times out of ten he will say
Il have one, but it isn't very sharp.
You may pick out your men indiffer-
emily, and they will always tell you
the same thing. If man should ask
me for my knife to sharpen a lead pen
Gil or to use for some other purpose,
the chances are would say about the
same thing, Il have one, but it ism t
very sharp.
"And really the answer thus made
is generally true Men do not keep
sharp knives. 1t may be. because they
do not need sharp knives or it may be
matter of laziness, but in any event
they do not carry.th them. around with
them, or if they do they always give
their friend dull one. New
Orleans Times Democrat.
