Brief Authorltu.

Policemen are like other public
servants: they are good, bad, indif-
ferent, or just plain policemen. As
class they serve the public well in
a rather aTduous calling; but at
times, pulled up with a little brief
authority, they cut such capers as
make the judicious weep.
Out in Pittsburg a vig:lant officer
discovered a man trying to enter the
residence of a millionaire at $50
o'clock in the morning. The man
claimed to be the owner of the house,
but as he looked a little the worse
for wear-and who does not at that
hour-and as there was a breath Of
suspicion about him, the policeman
did the proper thing and escorted
him to the lookup. So far so good.
No one, not even the Inconvenience
millionaire, could have other than
words of praise for an officer having
that degree OF vigilance
But, alas, for human nature. the
temptation to petty tyranny was too
great for the policeman. His prison
er was thrown into a cell and kept
there, and although he protested his
innocence he was not allowed even
% use the telephone to the home he
was accused Of having attempted to
enter unlawfully.
Let lis drop the curtain. Now that
the policeman has learned to temper
his vigilance with mercy and discre-
ton, the city has dispensed with his
services.

Tempted Trustees.

The Times has expressed itself re-
Gently concerning the decadence of
professional honor among lawyers
and. the dishonesty of fiduciaries. but
there is word or two yet to be said.
and perhaps this is the time and place
to say it.
Bank wTeckers, dishonest trustees,
and faithless custodians may be d.
yided into two broad and general
classes: first, those who are criminal
not only in action but in intent, and,
second, those who without initiatory
criminal intent take risks with trust
funds. relying upon their fair repu-
tations to cover the transactions and
confident of their ability to replace
the funds used.
Concerning the first class it would
be a waste of paper and ink to &C
further than to say that they are
plain, ordinary thieves and should be
placed at once where they can do the
least harm; of the second, and tc
them, we wish to say that their main
faults are ordinarily too great con-
fidence in their own integrity and toe
high a reliance upon their own good
intentions.

funds Of other people is the man who

SAYS SHE TOOK DRUG
TO EASE THE HEADACHE

Suffering from the effects of an over
desc of laudanun, Mrs. Emma Ham
mond, of 3725 M street. Georgetown, was
taken to the Georgetown University
Hospital ut an early hour this morning.
Physicians reported that she was not
seriously affected by the drug. because
OF the prompt attention she received af-
ter taking the poison.
Unconscious and clutching an empty
bottle marked "Laudanum," the young
woman was found lying on the floor of
her bedroom shortly before 1 O'Clock
this morning. Her husband. who made
the discovery, summoned policeman.
who had the woman conveyed to the
hospital Restoratives were applied.
and in Ii few moments the woman was
revived She said she had a severe
headache all yesterday and last night,
and sought t. ease the pain with a lit
tie laudanum. She was of the opinion
that she took too much and became I'M

Ships Do Not Make a Navy.

An unspecifled number of battle
ships of type which probably will
startle the world has been ordered
by Russia to be constructed in the
United States, the aim being not
only to take advantage of American
genius in building up the Russian
navy, but distinctly to cultivate
closer commercial relations between
the two countries
II the first essential of this inter
esting story proves true-that the
contract has been awarded to Amer
lean shipbuilders-it may be assumed
that the ships will conform to the
high standard set, They are to be
of 10000 tons displacement and yet
combine the projectile resistance
power of the battleship with the
speed and wide radius of action of
cruisers" Then, if the second essen
tial fact proves true, likeWise-that
the ships are paid for-Russia will
have the body of formidable navy.
But Russia will need something
more than ships. She must also
have officers able to handle them SO
that they do not blow up, or run
against the first mine set in their
way, or serve as targets for the en-
envy while the Russian gunners fire
DrOipctilpS into tho dir like rool.ofc
In order to obtain officers of this
grade Russia must cease training her
cadets inland. For, prepcsteI5us as
it must seem to Americans. ali her
ship officers are now educated away
from the sea.
Furthermore, even if the Car
should be provided with ships and
officers, he must still weed out his
present admiralty organization Sc
that good ship supplies and reliable
ammunition will readily reach the
ships. The Russian admiralty of the
present does not know, apparently
that the best marksmen in the world
cannot win battles by blowing into
breech-blocks, and the most devoted
seamen in the world cannot fight on
second quality food.
Russia does well to build goed
ships awhile eshe is about IT, B,,t

does not and will not trust himself.
No man is fit to handle the money
or securities of others unless he has
the moral stamina to place himself
and the valuables intrusted to him
in such position that the first mis-
step on his part will be patent to
others. The man who is puffed up
by the consciousness of his own recti-
tude is on an unstable foundation;
the man whose pride dilates with the
size of his trust accounts is liable to
burst; and the man who will risk
a trust fund in an investment which
would not be approved by court of
record is on the highway to ruin.
The law on the subject of invest
ment of trust funds Is exceedingly
plain and simple. Our defalcators
are men who reach their positions of
trust by reason of their knowledge
of and outward compliance with that
law, but their lapses come from
weakness inherent in themselves,
their overweening confidence in their
financial acumen and the desire to get
rich quick.
From time to time men like Bige-
low are discovered, men honored in
the community, men of fine parts and
high training, men who have sold
themselves to Mammon and brought
disgrace upon their high and worthy
callings. Such men are the excep-
tons, Of course, but there must be
others who are not yet caught; there
are certainly others who are never
adequately punished.
The remedy lies with the fiduciaries
themselves-and with those who
should call them to strict account.
Let The balances be struck at frequent
intervals; let those charged with the
supervision of trustees call for the
production of funds and securities.
Toe the line of strict honesty your
self and see to it that your subordi-
mates do.
