Chief and Commissioners il
Favor OF Adopting Successful

Dogs for the police force is the latest
Improvement suggested for that de-

Chief Fnvors Plan.
The suggestion sprang up within a
moment, and two police commission
ers and Chief Werner have expressed
themselves as being in favor of giving
dogs trial on the force. II was only
recently that a New York City officer
was sent to Belgium to study and
make observations of the use of hounds
by the police OF the cities in that
country. In Belgium dogs are used
very extensively, and 1t is said THAI
their assistance has been found SO
valuable that now Belgian police would
not be without them In other cities of
Europe they are also used. and in the
NfcLIial .aiilS luGE are lTdltleu TO be
couriers. Such is the intelligence of
these trained dogs that they may be
trusted to carry messages to almost
any point within distance of their
powers OF travelling.
II is suggested that dogs be used
by policemen in outlying districts of
the city, where their powers of scent
will be of the greatest assistance TO
patrolmen: In those cities where they
are regular members OF the police
forces patrolmen send them ahead into
alleys and dark passages, over vacant
lots and across lonely fields. and If
any man be found lying in wait he is
soon run fromHllfs la!r; If any man be
round wouaded- -succor is quickly

discovered by these keen scented min.

breed, The New York officer who was

rHE DIFFERENCE.

Tennessee is different from Texas;
Carmack is different from Bailey and
these two differences may by analysis
be made to tell story which signifies.
Ed Carmack was elected TO the
United States senate six years ago.
He has made record OF honor In
those six years of valiant service
which places his name in the list of
Tennessee's most cherished and hon
ored sons. He kept the faith at all
times. He fought for his people and
his party in the front ranks of nearly
every battle. He did sill; more than he
had promised. He has not a single
blemish in his record and neither his
enemies nor his friends can point their
fingers to any official act of which he
need be ashamed, yet Tennessee re-
fused to return him. to the Senate for
a second term customary to all pre-
cedent in such cases.
On the other hand, Texas has kept
faith with Joe Bailey and is now send
ing him once more to the Senate. The
people had made contract with him
and although they subsequently discov-
cred that Bailey he'd failed to keep
faith with them they refused to go
back on their contract with him.
This is where Texas differs from
and where Joe Bailey diff
fers from Ed Carmack,
The implicit contract to give Car
mack second term as an indorse-
ment, according to custom, Of fidelity
and efficiency, on the part of the peo |
pie of Tennessee, was quite as binding |
rs the contract which the people of |
Texas made, under misrepresentation, |
with Joe Bailey.
