Its strife and toll and noisy din
Its race wherein few ever win;
Yet would bear the cross for Thee

Jesus, my Lord, I'll wait for.Thee
Until the morning
some day my sun will seek its rest,
Strange glory lingering in the west.
while sparrows HE them to their nest,
And stars shine DER the wide, wide sea
Until the morning.
Jesus, my Lord, I'll wait for Thee
Until the morning.
III meet lost friends when night is DER,
Nhere we shall part no more. no more;
And love as once in days CT yore-
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
In heavens morning.
Twill not be long; time hastens by
Until the morning.
This life's a span. its course soon run;
ITS work will all be quickly done;
Zen now we hear the signal gun;
And night gone by I'll upward fly,
In Gods glad morning.

Concerning a Chief Of Police

TO the Editor of the Evening Journal.
Sir: | am inclined TO think the sug-
gestion you made in an editorial the
other day regarding the appointment
OF new chief Of police is a good one.
lnere are Massey men on the force
and Black men. and each has his parti-
sans. and the public service demands
that there shall be an efficient head
chosen who is not mixed up in this an
cient history.
A correspondent in your paper seems
to think that If Captain Black is inno-
cent of any of the rumors regarding
indiscretions he should. therefore be
elevated to the place of chief. do
not think so. If he has made a good
officer. he will have justice if kept in
his present place. A man doesn't re-
ouire elevation in order to show his
innocence of any charges. lie is not
necessarily proven guilty, even by re
moval.
IL seems to me there is a greater
stake in this than the mere gratifica-
tion Of a personal ambition. We need
strong man for the place and if he
can be taken from the force and be
able to bring all elements into subor-
dination and harmonious relations. all
right; but there isn't a man on the
force to whom this applies
Team work is what counts in a po-
lice force, no less than football. There
must be the head. whose authority and
whose motives cannot be questioned.
There must be esteem born Of confidence.
To take any man from the present
