THE WASHINGTON HERALD.
Growth of Its Sunday Issue.

No edition Of this newspaper
is called the Sunday Herald.
II is The Washington Herald
every day in the weeS, Sunday
included.
IL has no other name. It is
name that the people of Wash
ington know and approve.
The Sunday edition of The
Washington Herald is like the
daily issues, only larger and
containing more special fea-
lures. It is a sane and sensible
Sunday newspaper. with no
color and no comic; a paper
that shuns schemes, employs no
catch-penny devices. offers no
prizes. sells no books, and ped
dies no tinWare, but depends
wholly upon its merits as
clean, wide-awake newspaper
to get and hold readers. and
thus insure its business patrons
a profitable advertising me-
dium.
The demand for the Sunday
edition of The Washington Her
aid is growing week by week.
Washington people-the dis
eliminating readers-have found
out how meritor:ous it is; how
well filled it is with good,
wholesome Sunday reading:
how different it IS from the
average Sunday newspaper.
An evidence of Washingtons
appreciation of this sort Of
newspaper was siven last Sun
day, when the demand for that
issue-containing nothing what
ever Of a sensational character
-necessitated the starting Of
the big presses again after the
regular supply was off.
Advertisers who are not using
the columns of The Washington
Herald are missing an opportu-
nifty to put themselves into the
closest possible touch with the
people of Washington in their
homes.

BINGHAM FOR REFORM.
Advocotes Changes in Detecti0e BIZ
reau and Detail SYStem.

Police Commissioner Bingham made public yes
terday his annual report TO the Mayor. II is the
first time in the history Of the department that the
report Of tho preceding year has been issued SO
promptly The commissioner attacks the detail
system which he declares is "a favorite device OF
politicians 10 reward their friends" lie advocl teS
reforms in the Detective Bureau, which he says he
has found seriously defective. and announces that
he win submit special report on this branch OF
police work soon possible.
He issues warning against the undue authori-
zatton Of special patroimen and asks for more
clerks. stenographers and copyists, that the
patrolmen now engaged in that duty can go back
on patrol. Speaking OF the House of Detention
and the Boiler Squad he says II would add greatly
the efficiency and benefit OF tho department II
these two bureaus could be unloaded upon some
other department of the government to which they
more properly belong.
Speaking OF the detail system the commissioner
says:
there 2.207 men detailed away from their reg

suit of years Of detailing and Is one OF the most
politicians with the discipline and work of the de-
partmert. When citizens see the large amount in
the budget for the Police Department II is won
der they cannot understand why they, do not re-
eral hundred men in the department not doing
police work at all
The commissioner then furnishes n long list OF
other departments In the city government where
policemen are detailed and suggests that they en-
ploy their own to do the work that the Police
Department is doing for them This. he says.
would add materially to the strength OF the police
force and a the time work for economy in
the other departments.
In speaking OF the plain clothes men, he says
that the hen heH L ep m aa are and
cause they are then less liable TO detection But
he declares, they necessary to police work and
ntmates that their transfer from the captains to
the inspectors will render them less liable to temp
tation.
He attacks the present system of keeping the rec
ords of the men, on the ground that all that ap-
pears in the records is what from the trial
room. and that man may be a scoundrel and still
have good record in the department. He points
out that the men on detail and I'm plain clothes
seldom have complaints made against them de-
claring that II is the man post who get the
complaints and the bad record. while their loalng
brethren have marks against them
The report shows that December 81 1906 The
number of men the force was SSi7 of the s S72

signees
1t is cortended in behalf of the United
States" said the court. that the act OF June %.
1906. did not go into effect until after these
indictments returned. II is urged that the
postponement was effected by the adoption OF
the Joint resolution by Congress approved June
30, 1905 That resolution provides that the rate
law shall take effect and be IN force sixty days
after its approval by the President Of the United
States
"Of course, the purpose Of this resolution Is
obvious But it wholly ineffective until
approved by the President. This occurred June
80. And by its own terms the act became ef-
fective on It's approval by the President one
day before. Plainly, therefore, on June so, the
resolution was pOwsrless to postpone that which
had already occurred on June 20. While posSi-
bly, on June 30 the resolution might operate TO
suspend the act for period OF time (and 10
this l express no opinien). the questions pre-
sented by the demurrers to these indictments
ara TO be determined as though a postpone
ment or suspension Of the act had not been at
tempted.
1T is the duty OF the court" said Judge Ian
dis. TO enforce the Will OF Congress as ex-
pressed in the written enactment. In the as
Certalnment of that viii / am not at liberty to
ignore tho ultimate object OF the law. That OBJ
ject was the establishment OF uniform railroad
rates, reasonable in amount"
