A STATE POLICE FORCE

The BLACK Hand" has obtained a
hold in this country principally by
reason of the Indifference or i~neficiency
of the police in dealing with its crimes
no police protection, and it is there,
wherever settlements of foreigners are
established. the Black Hand fiourishes.
The mining regions of Pennsylvania are
a good field for Black Hand operations.
That State has a good constabulary, a
State body composed largely of men
who had served in the regular army.
and this efficient force is to be used in
a systematic effort to wipe. out the
Black Hand gangs that have been re-
sponsible for so many crimes in the
past few months. The local police in
the mining regions are powerless to
cope with organized c~riminality, and
too frequently they are terrorized.
The Black Hand has already spread
over too much territory. 1t has become
so general and has experienced so little
punishment that only the most vigorous
efforts will prove effective against it.
The use of the ~constabulary shows the
necessity for a State police force. Some
years ago, under the Albeit admins
tration. a. State chief of tpolic was ap-
pointed, but the Office was merely a
political ~sinecure, and it was afterward
abolished. A real State police depart
ment with a State detective system
in conjunction with the detective de-
partments of the large cities of the
State would be a useful feature of the
State government. The. country police
man in New Jersey is no better than
his fellow in Pennsylvania.

Parsons our DE- POLITICS.

With all due respect to the cloth,
and without denying the right of the
clergy to have opinions on political
questions and to express them-out-
side of the pulpit is submitted that
the Newark Chassis of the Reformed
Church took the proper course Wednes-
day when it peremptorily sat upon
the proposition of a member who
wanted the body, as such, to indorse
a candidate of n of the political par
ties for Governor of the State of New
Jersey.
Across the water. in ancient days,
the church ruled or ruined the state.
At times it did both. Our fathers in
the New World builded well when they
decreed in the fundamental law that
they should not hunt in couples or
partnership, and guaranteed individual
religious liberty. State cannot inter
fere with church., nor can church with
state. The parson and politics are two.
The member of the Chassis put 1t
straight when he informed the brother
who wanted to align his denomination
with a political party that it was the
business Of the Chassis to deal only with
ecclesiastical matters.

that conspicuous leaders like Senators

nent Southern newspapers like the Ba1ti-

THE AUTOMOBILE AND THE ROAD

Apropos of the general complaint
hat the automobile is kicking up a
terrible dust all over the country and
incidentally tearing up the roads built
at great expense, the comment of
the Philadelphia Press is full of COM
motive would say. h-orse-sense, that
as the automobile has come to stay
the highways must be made equal to
the burden it imposes, and that roads
as made at present tend to disin-
tegrate under the suction of automo-
biles is an evil to be met not by as
sailing and condemning the automo-
biles, but by improving the roads"
The bicycle first, and the automo-
bile later, gave a tremendous impetus
to road improvement, in which Essex
County, New Jersey. is the proud
pioneer. But the auto, as it increased
in power and speed, has gon beyond
the capacity and endurance of u
ma gnificent stone roads. Something
even better is required in roads to
keep pace with the improvement in
utility of the motor vehicle. OF course
it is fair that the auto should bear a
share of the increased expense, but
equally. of course, it is not fair that
the auto should bear it all.
The road that stands the wear and
tear of all traffic best, and at the same
time does not give up clouds of dus
TO every passing vehicle, is the road for
our money, and is a general public
benefit. Such roads have been built,
and it is in evidence that the en-
during and comparatively dustless
road, the two desiderate being achiev-
ed by the same treatment, is subject
to the least automobile scorching, the
latter being induced by the desire of
one motorist to leave the other behind
to get rid of his dust. A coating of
tar on a macadem > road, with a top
dressing of fine. crushed stone has
been found to very nearly reach these
requirements. Considerable sections of
roadway subjected to this treatment
recently in Newark's suburbs will be
watched with as much interest by
both a~utomobilists and those who
would like TO be.

DEFECTS IN THE STATE GUARD.

Investigation of the national guard in
New York at the instance of Governor
Hughes has made prominent some
weaknesses that are inherent in The
whole national guard system in this
country. One great weakness lies in
the election of officers. The candidate
a majority vote in the company may
not be the man best fitted to command
that company. He may, in fact. be abb
solutely UNFIT. The very reasons that
command for him the favor of a ma
jority may be reasons for his rejection.
A commanding officer should be under
no obligations TO the rank and file for
the office he holds. In this country
under its representative government
the principle obtains that the man
elected to office is a servant of the peo-
pie. That idea very often creeps into
the army, and the lieutenant or captain
is regarded as an elected servant, not
as what he should be, a commander and
master. The system of electing ma
tional guard officers is embodied in the
Constitution and there can be no
change until it is taken out. In the re-
Organization and Improvement of our
national guard under the Dick law that
change is bound to b. made.

Scottish Music.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star: p
Please state the characteristics or pecn.
l~iarities of the music of Scotland insofar
as it is national or distinctive, and oblige,
B. S. s.
1.-THE music of Scotland is Of the same
general character as that of Ireland and
Wales. The national melodies are consid-
cred to be of great antiquity. No musical
manuscript of Scotch airs is now known
to exist of an older date than 1927; and
we have no knowledge when and by whom
the early Scotch melodies were composed.
Their disappearance seems to have been
due, first, to the strong measures resorted
to, about 1880, by both civil ard ecclesiasti-
eal authorities, to put down all ballads re-
fleeing on the Roman Catholic hierarchy.
and, a~fterward, to the ill-will shown BY
the dominant Presbyterians toward
worldly amusements. The most valuable
existing early collection of Scotch melodies
Is the Skene manuscript, in the Abba Ad-
vocates' library, noted by Sir John Skene.
OF Hallyards, about the year 1880. 1t con-
tains a number of native airs, mixed with
some foreign dance tunes-upward of a
hundred in all. Among the peculiarities
which give character to the music of scot
iand, and which a Boston critic recently
described, the most prominent is said to
be the prevalent omission of the fourth
and seventh of the scale, and consequent
absence of seini-tones. Another character
istic is the substitution of the descending
for the ascending sixth and seventh in the
minor scale, as at the beginning of the
air called "Adew, Dundee in the Skene
manuscript. A very prevalent course of
meditation is an alienation between the
major key and its relative minor, the
melody thus ever keeping true to the
diatonic scale Of the principal key, with
out the introduction of accidentals. The
closing note is by no means necessarily the
keynote, a popularity especially remark
able in the Highland airs, which, if in a.
major key, most frequently terminate in
the second; If in a minor. on the seventh.
Closes are also to be found on the third,
fifth and sixth.-Ed.l

An old maid had a parrot whose
favorite expression was, Il wish the
old woman was dead"
This worried her a great deal, and
one day when the minister called. she
spoke to him about it, He said he had
a parrot which only said religious
things, and that he would bring it over
some time and e If it would not
break her bird from saying it's favorite
expression. So one night they were GO
ing to have a meeting at her house, and
he gathered up his parrot and took 1t
with him. When he went in he hung
his cage up near where the old maids
was hanging The meeting was being
opened with prayer, and all of a sudden
her parrot said:
Il wish the old woman was dead"
The minister's parrot cooked his head,
and. looking at the other parrot, in a
solemn voice said:
w beseech Thee to hear us. good
Lord."-Judge's Library.

Schools Of Medicine.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
VIII you kindly distinguish between the
several schools OF medicine. alloPathy,
homeopathy, o~steopathy. ETC.?
IGNORANT.
IAllopathy is the common or regular
system of medical treatment, and Is
founded on the belief that one disease
may be cured by superinducing another
of a different kind, or by bringing about
a condition in which the disease sought
to be cured cannot exist. The word was
first applied to the school Of medicine by
Hahnemann to distinguish it from the
school he himself formulated-the ho-
moeopathic. Homeopathy is founded on
the principle that like cures like" thus
minute doses of medicine that would pro-
duce in health conditions similar to the
disease are prescribed. An osteopath pro-
poses to correct disordered conditions by
manipulation of the bones, believing that
the small bones are sometimes misplaced
and impede the naturai flow Of the various
bodily fluids that maintain the standard Of
health.-Ed.1
