commercial socialism, that high per-

STANDS BY THE POLICE.
Mayor Lowe Takes Sides Against
Matchmaking Captains"

New York, April 3.-Mayor Lowe
gave New York earnest evidence of his
determination to rid the metropolis Of
the protection system" by which gam
blers and law-breaking saloon-keepers
buy immunity from arrest by bribine
police officials. The mayor not only
promised to stand by the policemen
who enforce the law regardless OF
pulls but he dealt out rewards and
punishments. The five plain clothes
detectives at the West Thirty seventh
street station were reduced to patrol
duty on the theory that they had not
done their duty. The captain was di-
rected to fill their places by promoting
five of the patrolmen who broke away
from their superiors Sunday night and
arrested all saloon-keepers and bar
tenders caught violating the liquor
laws. This prompt and decisive action
of the mayor has caused q sensation.
He also gave out this statement.
Il think that the whole system black
mail in the police department is nearer
to legal detection and overthrow than
it has ever been before. The present
situation IS the outcome of perfect un-
derstanding and cooperation between
the mayor, the police commissioner and
the district attorney of New York
county, OF one thing both the police
and the community may rest assured.
No patrolman nor any police officer will
ever be allowed to suffer by this adj
ministration for doing his duty. This
administration picks out no special law
for enforcement, but neither does it
wink at the reinforcement Of any
law.
ANY police officer who fails to do
his duty fails at his peril. The adj
ministration is determined to secure If
it can police force that cannot be de-
Elected one hairs breadth, either by
bribery or political influence, from the
enforcement of all laws. The public has
it's eye fixed especially on a single law,
and very largely on a single aspect of
that, while the administration is at

rupts the police force and tends to

Rome was not built in a day; Meth
er can police force that has been
growing more and more demoralized
for years be purified in three months.
In the meantime Colonel Partridge re-
tains my entire confidence and enjoys
my unqualified support, and he de-
serves tho same of every honest man in
the community"
The revolt of the patrolmen against
the Matchmaking captains, which was
started by the policemen of the West
Thirty-seventh street station is pread
ing. 1t is reported that the patrolmen
of ten other precincts will follow suit,
and next Sunday promises to be the
dryest New York has seen in many
wears.

I'VE, In favor Of granting this conces-
sion, and the house will without doubt
eventually adopt 1t. yet there is small
and active coterie of republicans, about
thirty in number, determined to defeat
It. and of course they will be aided by
democrats, who act upon the theory
i that anything that tends to bring about
division in the republican ranks is meat
to them. The opposition of these re-
publicans is based on fear-groundless
fear. They claim that such tariff con-
cession will be the entering wedge for
general revision. This has been shown
to be without reason. They urge that
such concession will injure our beet
and cane sugar interests, but this is
known to be an unwarranted speculat-
i've possibility. Chairman Payne, in
making the report of the committee
favoring the concession, met all the OBJ
jections fairly. and presented so good
an argument showing why 1t should be
granted and how much 1T is needed to
start the new Cuban nation upon fair
commercial and economical career, that
the country favors the proposition and
will not be satisfied with anything less.
With such a favor granted. the new
Cuban nation, when it enters upon its
career May goth, will have further
cause for gratitude to our people, Will
have added reason why 1t should build
up profitable trade relations with the
United States, and will have no greater
foe than its own inherent weakness to
prevent 1t from entering upon an era of
peace and prosperity.

Tax Process Butter.

Reports from Washington are that

Of the oleomargarine bill in the senate,
has accepted second amendment pre-
pared by Senator Harris. The second
amendment of the Kansas senator inn
poses tax of quarter of cent d
pound on what is known as process
or ''renovated'' butter. These two
amendments. the first imposing the
same tax on adulterated butter as on
oleomargarine and the second placing
a tax on process butter brings these
products under the control of the au-
thorities.
Perhaps the most clamorous and in
sistent demands for regulation of
oleomargarine which would cripple the
industry have been made by the manu-
facturers of process and adulterated
butter Whatever advantage the le-
ultimate dairy interests may get out Of a
tax on oleomargarine intended to be
prohibitive,the manufacturers who have
made over rancid and discarded butter
have worked their own undoing.

Harris amendment, is defined Ito mean
