The problem of safety in the city OF

Quate patrolling of the cltys 3Oe5 miles

is the subject OF a valuable article in
the current Harper's Weekly by Gen.
Theodore Bingham, police commissioner
of New York Gen. Bingham says that.
owing TO the physical conhguration OF
New York. the city is more difficult 10
guard than are any OF the other large
cities in the world. He points out the
absolute and immediate necessity for the
increase Of the patrol force Of the depart
ment by at least 400 men. New York
has ore patrolman TO every 547 Of popula-
ton; London. one 10 every 496; Boston,
one to every 500; Philadelphia. one TO

Christmas Shopping.


A sensible woman in New York. a
worker in an associated charities organi-
Zation. has sent out some rules about
Christmas shopping which are worth
reading. Her main purpose is 10 save the
strain on children, clerks. and working
people generally to whom the Christmas
season is a nightmare on account OF the
hurry and rush Of a crowd OF frenzied
shoppers who put Off 10 the last day what
can be done much better weeks before
the holidays. Here are her suggestions:
Fist-Do much as possible Of your shopping
before December l.
Second-Have it all done one week before Christ
mas
Third-Shop early in the day.
Fourth-Cauy home many parcels as possible
Fifth-Do not ask 20 have parcels delivered on
the day of purchase
Sixth-Do not ask to have articles sent home on
approval
Seventh-Do not shop during lunch hours, thus
shortening the hour for the clerks
If these rules were followed by even
a fair proportion Of people who can do
so as well as not says a New York
paper. il would work great relief.
There are those. Of course, who love
the stern struggle which is needed to
satisfy their demands in the last few
days OF the rush of Christmas buying

vance IL a benefactor Of the human race

THREE OFFICES FOR STRONG
MEN.

TO be elected to honorable office,
II he can get the votes, is every man b
right in this country--and there are
more men than most people thlnE,
who want this right.
In many states OF the Union the
custom has prevailed for many years,
and still largely obtains, to permit
three OF the most important Offices
of the people, that Of county Judge and
commissioner and member uf the leg
islaurc, to fall into the hands Of men
OF either mediocre ability or with
nothing especially recommendatory
of them for these positions.
In the formative period of the new
state. and In the conduct Of its af-
fairs, we, in our zest, must not over
look the most paramountly important
places on the ticket.
10 claim that these are the three
most important places to be hlled by
the peoples votes in the counties and
the state is to assert that which no
welllnformed Iman will deny, but to
quicken mems minds along these lines
should be and Is the star part to be
taken by both the press and the states
men of our country. II must be seen
TOO, that the man who Is clothed with
the right to spend the public's pocket
book not only knows how to do IL, but
can be trusted to get value received
for the outlay. lie who sits in ludg
mCnt upon the course of county affairs
ought to represent the opitomc OF the
countrys statcsmanship and business
ncumcn. II is folly to say We have not
got such men. Every county iu Okla
homa has men who would mako ideal
judges and commissioners. And every
county Is liable 10 produce the rcQui
site number Of senators and roproseu-
tatiycs who know what. when anr how
their constituents know.
There Is a wide difference between
a politician and q statesman and
while all statesmen rise TO prominence
through the role Of pollu-
clan, yet not all politicians rise to the
greatness of statesmen. Men Of real
merit and greatness, however humble
their positions IN life, scorn the route
to be taken on the highway to political
prominence, and thus too often the
best blood remains scroncly by the
waysidc untrled upon the course.
The question naturally arises. what
shall be done to bring about this re.
suit whereby the best men will be
placed In these positions? How are we
