Progress of the Organization.

1T was but few years ago when we
were strangers to each other. There was
evidenced but minor interest on the part
of the police head in one locality for the
official engaged in like pursuits In another;
the professional marauder moved unre-
strained in one city even If he did disturb
the tranquility of another; there was an
exchange of professional photographs and
descriptions along diminutive lines only be-
tween few of the principal cities: the
long distance telephone was not consulted
and Slippery Bill apprehended within an
hour by Chief Brown at the request OF
Chief Jones: arrests of criminals on tele-
grams were few and far between.
THAT condition has undergone change
in its entirety; the old methods have been
revolutionized, and the association of which
you are the honored members has brought
about this result.

Ivory CITY, a suburb and part of the
great central metropolis of the Mississippi

ago. coincident with its presence in the
land where the contamination of the Louis

Work of Subordinates.

ut should not be forgotten that credit
able work on the part of the subordinate
reflects credit on the superior. To secure
that II is incumbent on the latter TO have
the loyal support of the former. 1t be-
hooves the chief to acquire a knowledge of
his men, to study their interests as we'll as
his own, and to secure their confidence and
respect. Honest. sober, discreet, firm, but
kind leadership, begets the same character
of assistance. The member of force
should be made to understand that his
profession is an honorable one and that
good conduct and intelligent service on his
part will bring Its reward. A policeman
should know by law that his position is as
sured him during good behavior; but with
a life tenure the law should be so elastic
that a superior could be reduced and
subordinate advanced. provided the one was
inefficient and intelligent attention to duty
merited such advancement for the other
1.-The National Prison Association has ex-
tended to us its compliments and urges

ginning October IS next.
1T has been suggested to me by the rep

the association adopt a miniature official

The Identification Bureau.

with a view of securing thorough CO.
operation in the apprehension of criminals,
there is conducted within the government
OF your association an international bureau
of criminal identification. 1t is supported
by the police departments of about sixty
of the principal cities, and has for its pur-
pose the identification of criminals for its
subscribers and the furnishing of important
pictures, measurements and information.
The battle against crime has been
waged for ages, II Is still in progress, and
will continue so long as mankind inhabit
the earth. There are those who are crini-
nails by inheritance, and those who are
made such through domestic neglect. While

stincts where they may be early brought to
his attention-whether they be hereditary
or the result of environment.

number he mentions is Senator

We do not know how this differ

Editor The Manning Times:

Another year has slipped by, as it
were, and the one gallus boys have got
to spit on their hands and catch fresh
hold, borrow another gallus lii we CAM
to 90 with the one we've got and try it
again. But the land knows where that
other gallus is a coming from. There's
heaps OF US that amt quite finished
paving for the one we got last summer:
wouldn't we simply be in it If we could
wear two gallus's like other people:
like the oil mill men, for instance. They
wear two gallus's all the time, but they
make US wool-hatters pay for one of
'em. And if you will notice close, Mr..
Editor, you never see one OF these trust
fellows wearing a wool hat either.
Somebody might take 'em for a farmer
if they did, and that would never do.
But we amt ashamed one bit. We
will cover our one gallus with q fifty
cent jacket, hang our wool hat on a
nail, and set down to mess of hog and
hominy and digest it better than Mr..
Rockfellow with all his millions. And
that brings me to a fine point to decide.
What are we going to do with Mr..
Rockfellow? They say he has gone to
messing in the guano business ard has
