erty Of the citizen are not secure, the in
ference is that the city government is
either incapable or willfully negligent
Applying this test to St Paul, the onIy
logical deduction that can be made the
premise being granted, is that the city is
exceptionally well governed. The per-
centage of preventable crimes is much
lower than that of any other
city in the country of the same
size and is growing less and
less every day, SO that this class of crime
has been almost reduced to a minimum.
This fact can be determined by a pepusal
OF the news columns of the daily press
This condition of affairs is directly at
tributable to the police force under the
leadership of Chief John J. O'Connur,
who has perfected an organization Of men
that is recognized model throughout the
country. The members of the force have
been chosen not only for their Drawn and
physical courage, but for their intel
igence and ability to possess a sense Of
duty at all times.
O'COnnOr Is a Famous Chief,
AS a police officer Chief O'Connor has
a reputation that extends all over the
United States not only among officers but
also among the guns" Few men in any
branch of police service have a wider
knowledge of crooks or guns than
has the present chief, and it is a well
known fact that with these the word Of
the chief goes a long way.
Crooks who make a profession as well

Students of municipal affairs as a rule
take the police force Of a large city as
the surest and truest index to the char
acter of the citys government There are
a great many things about the govern
ing of a city that the police force has
nothing to do with but it is commonly
accepted that if the police force is what
It should be- the evident intention of
the administration is to performs its du-
ties to the best of its ability and power.
If the police force is a body of men well
organized, so that vice and lawlessness
are kept wen under control, it is a fair
indication that the city is well governed.

An Honest Confession.

Toledo Blade
Hon. James NJ. Griggs, Of Georgia, is
chairman of the Democratic Congress
sional committee.
II Is q part of the duty of Mr.. Griggs
to secure funds for the conduct Of the
Democratic Congressional campaign.
Mr.. Griggs expresses himself as be-
ing delighted with the number and size
of the contributions he Is receiving. He
says he has more money to use this
year than the Congressional committee
has had in years.
he tells where he Is getting this
money. 1t Is coming, according TO his
story, from the moneyed men OF New
York, the men who promote great CON-
binations Of capital; in short, from the
trust magnates.
Mr.. Griggs explains that these trust
promoters are very much dissatisfied
with President Roosevelt because OF
his opposition to their unlawful COM
binations and they propose to use their
influence in electing Democratic Con-
gress this fall, that Mr.. Roosevelt's
chances for q reaomiration may be
checked, and also that he may not have
q Congress back Of him to carry out his
ideas for the suppression Of their COM
binations.
This frank statement Of Chairman
Griggs, which may have more or less
truth In IL, is extremely interesting.
If the trust promoters are willing to
aid the Democratic party 1t means that
they take no stock In the denunciation
Of trusts by the Democratic leaders.
It means that the trusts believe the
Democratic party will not injure them,
even II 1t has the power to do so.
1t means that Democracy is not sim
cere in its railings against trusts, else
it would not accept contributions from
this source for campaign purposes, thus
placing itself under obligations to these
unlawful combinations.
Remember, it lie the trust promoter:
who are said to be aiding the Demo
cratic party. The solid, conservative
busl ness men are content with presen,
conditions and do not desire change
Certainly President Roosevelt and
the Republican party can afford fol
Chairman Griggs to make public the
alliance between Democracy and the
trusts; but can Democracy afford It?

made its way into this the very heart
of Industrial England. Our big steel
trust has frightened the factors OF
Sheffield, and their trade, not only in
England, but all the world over, Is be-
ing affected by it. The English rail-
roads have begun importing American
locomotives and American steel rails,
and the people here are wondering
whether they will not soon be sending
them knives and razors as well. The
letting of the contracts for the enor-
nous bridges in Africa and Burmah TO
American firms astounded them, and
they are worried as to their foreign
orders. Sheffield produces agricultural
machinery, but our American tools are
sold side by side with those of English
make, and our biggest machine COM
panies have their agents at every coun-

the business is done at the fairs and our
men sell direct to the farmers.

week, after having spent eight months
in making five journeys In the interests
of Christian Endeavor, that cover near
ly the whole map of Europe. During
these eight months he has travelled
23, 900 miles and attended two hundred
meetings and conferences in twenty
different countries, ranging from Ice
land to Turkey, and from north of the
arctic circle in Norway to Spain. His
speeches have been translated into
nineteen tongues. In seven nations
national Christian Endeavor unions
have been formed or strengthened, and
beginnings made in several other coun-
tries. Secretaries who give a whole or
part of their time to the work have
been found for eight countries. Chris
tian Endeavor literature has been
translated into Italian, Finnish, Portu-
