Improvement in his system which made 1t
almost ideally perfect, though the nature
of the improvement was not stated.
1t is said by those who have to deal with
criminals that the introduction of the
Bertillon system has had a distinctly deter
rent effect on professionals and that they
fear nothing so much as these infallible
measurements. They are also useful in
enabling officers to distinguish new from
old offenders and in preventing the mis-
taking of innocent person for some GRIM
inal to whom he may bear enough super
fetal resemblance to have justified his ar
rest. Nature sometimes repeats remarkable
facial resemblance, but she never duplicates
her structural work. Incidentally, the sys-
tenn is an aid to the courts in imposing
punishment under the indeterminate sem
tence law, as If mans Bertillon measure
ments are found in the police records 1t is
useless for him to pose as first offender.

phases of the situation caused by the team

''pickets'' following procession to the GEM

labor tyranny, and union labor itself a

graceful. The best cause in the world

A COMBINE TO GUST
COMMISSIONER ROOT

Republican politicians. members OF
the police force and democrats who
are opposed to Joe Daniel, present
foreman of city streets. have formed
0 combine to Dust Police Commits
eioner Henry Root.
Those in on the deal say that every
thing has been arranged except the
approval of Mayor Boyd. and that
enough pressure will be brought on
the latter to compel his sanction.
BY combining with democrats who
are sore because Daniel is held In
Office the republicans hope to break
the democratic combine in the city
hall. To further this plan they have
offered to endorse ex-county Clerk
James Low, a democrat, to succeed
Root.

ward, a democrat. is said to be the
leader in the council favoring the
movement to GUST Root. In the re-
