DRESDEN POLICE.
In That City the Police Are Permit
ted to Impose Small Fines.

One advantage accrues to the respect
able member of the community from the
minuteneSs with which the Dresden po-
lice look into the affairs of every inhab-
liant of the city. If he is careful man
and always carries papers which may
serve to establish his identity he is prac
tica1ly immune from the indignity of
being arrested and marched off to the
police station unless. indeed, he commits
some especially heinous crime. Does he
drive faster than the law permits, does
he cross bridge on the left-hand side
or ride his bicycle through forbidden
streets he is stopped by the guardian of
law and order and requested to give his
name If he has his papers with him
the policeman may then and there inn
pose fine of from one to three marks.
If then he admits that he is in the
wrong and pays the fine the incident is
closed. If, however. he wishes to appeal
from the poIiceman's decision he may do
so. Even in that case he is not ar
rested, but day or two later he is no.
titled to appear in court and answer to
the charge against him. But then if he
is found guilty the lowest fine that can
be imposed is three marks. That this
custom of permitting the policeman per-
sonally to impose small fines is little
understood by foreigners is shown by a
remark made to me a short time ago by
a gentleman wfIS. had lived in Germany
the greater part Of his life and in Ores
den for number of years. In reply to
my inquiry as to whether there was
ever any question of corruption in the
police department he replied.
NO; none whatever as far as the
higher officers are concerned. The indi-
viduaI men, however may be bFibed &C.
casionally For instance. if I were to
walk on the grass in the Grosser Garten
and a policeman caught me at it,
would give him a mark or two and that
would end the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The foreign commerce OF the United

exports is extremely small compared
with the domestic production. in which
the United States now exceeds anv 9TH

OF coal have never reached as much as
million tons in single year prior IN
me nseal year 1903, when they were
S'6lo,z25 tons, or a little more than 1
per cent of the domestic production
while the highest figure ever reached in
exports was in 1901, when it Amounted
to 1,675.54s tons The relative impor-
lance Of the imports or exports to the
coal production from the mines of the
United States is shown by the fiaures
of coal production as reported from
year to year by the geological survey.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

A woman and her figure are soon laced.
When girl gets the swimming craze
1t is a sign she is getting fat where 1t

After a man has been married two years
he thinks there isn't chair in the house

A girl is always sure she is having a

out and she goes with the one she doesn' L
want to go with to make the other one

Some women seem to think their hus-

The Wall street view of the situation
IN the far east is embodied in the fol-
lowing from C1ews & COOS Financial
Review, which says: Close watch
must be kept upon the strained condi-
ton of affairs in the far east for ef-
feet upon international markets. I'm
mediate trouble between Russia and
any other power seems unlikely. but
It must be remembered that Russia
mas embarked upon a policy of govern
ment indust1aalism from which she can
not withdraw. Her necessities compeI
her to retain Manchurfa as a market
for her surplus manufactures. and her
inability to compete with foreign ma
tons will oblige her to resort to a policy
of commercial exclusion. 1t is Just here
where international friction and jeal-
ousy begin. If Russia is allowed to
absorb Manchuria, as she has already
practically done. then Japan. Germany.
France and England will each want
its share of land or trade, and the long
dreaded ACKNOWLEDGMENT of China will
thus begin. The United States with
larger coast lines and larger interests
in the Pacific than any other power is
still passive factor in one of the
great world movements. No country
has greater future commercial interests
in the opening of the far east than the
United States, and with such mighty
self-interests at work it is folly to pre-
dict results. The struggle between
policies of closed and open markets,
however, must come. and it may in

duty collected to the Philippines, as a
