Civic Improvement as n Factor IN
Development.

From the first organization Of vii
tlage improvement work In Stock
bridge, Mass. the enthusiasm Of VIII
|lage people In New England has been
directed towards a common endeavor
20 make home life more attractive.
In these recent years the same Inn
pulse has extended TO the Pacific
slope. Here In the Willamette val
ley, where every prospect pleases, ex-
cept where the Incidence or inefi
cheney of man has made IL vile. IL Is
perhaps difficult TO realize why no
greater advance has been made. Ore
gon has made such material strides
that we unthinkingly demand the
same progress In other directions,
We forget that instead of small
holding a farmer In Oregon has a
large acreage to be improved and
that town lots are laid out on an
ample scale. But II the obstacles are
great. so also is the reward OF dill
gence. II is possible to make OF any
valley town an ideal OF attractive
ness that will invite the stranger to
make his home with us.
II Is said that the Columbian ex-
position did more for the improve
ment OF the Mississippi basin than a
generation of lecturers could have
accomplished. Last summer we had
similar opportunity in Oregon. This
is. then. the time to discuss the sub
iect In a personal way. We must
give a stimulated civic spirit oppor-
tunity TO put into practical use the
desire for better surroundings. 1t Is
by the homes that we gauge the So
cial conditions of a country. What
ever goes to the shaping OF habits
and mode of life is of vital import
ance. 1t is the duty of society to
surround every boy and girl with an
environment that shall insure the de-
velopment OF law-abiding citizens

power In a lofty aim. In no limited
sense the work of civic improvement
is fundamental. with little legislative
machinery, II is free TO suggest and
to awaken greater possibilities. IL

cies; working by no compulsion' IL

The philosophy OF patronizing

arguments In favor of II are unan-
swerable. IL keeps the money at
home. IL gives employment to labor
at home. and this keeps the money
In circulation. IL gives every person
a chance to see his dollar again. IL

MULATT0, SOUTH'S CURSE,
GEORGIA JURIST SAYS.
Negro Retrograding Since slavery
Abolition, Former Senator Nor
wood Declares.

SAVANNAH, Ca. Dec. l31.-T1pomas NJ.
Norwood, former Congressman and ex-
United States Senator from Georgia. de-
livered q remarkable address upon the
race question today. the occasion being his
retirement from the bench of the city
court, a place he had occupied for twelve
years.
The judge said that after investigation
and long contact with the negro as a de-
PENDANT in his court, he had reached the
conclusion that the black is incapable OF
receiving and using more than the rudi-
ments Of an education. The negro as q
slave, was cared for by the white man,
he said, but the present generation is
retrograding to the status of the savage
and his rule by force.
This Is shown by the constant disregard
Of laws, repeated resistance OF arrest and
shooting down Of white men who attempt
to control them. The mulatto is the curse
Of both the white and negro race in the
South, said Judge Norwood. They stir
the others to deeds of violence and create
discord.

UNDER POLICE PROBE
TWO BROUGHT HERE FOR
NEWARK THEFTS.
Authorities Trying to Connect Prisoners
with Horse Thief, Gang in New
York-Property Recovered.

Detective Sergeant Kuhn, of police
headquarters, brought to Newark to-
day from Jersey City two men who are
said by the police to belong to a band
of horse thieves in New York. The
men were arrested in Jersey City on
Friday night by Policeman Beck, of
the Seventh Precinct. on suspicion of
having stolen W rigs. The prisoners
were well dressed and were of a party
of -four who had appeared suspicious to
the Jersey City policeman. The two
under arrest gave the names of Joseph
Anars, of 8 Spring street. and John
Rosa, of 1875 Houston street, both of
New York city. They refused to make
any statement, but the police believe
that more han one horse theft can be
traced to them.
Policeman Beck saw the pair In a
rfckety old carriage attached to a good
looking horse. He obtained a good look
at both Of the men in case he would meet
them again. A few moments later two
other men appeared along in a cheap look
ing wagon and with a high-priced horse.
Beck seized the horse by the bride, but
at the same time the driver gave the ami
mails head a yank, and the horses head
struck the policeman in the face, knocking
him down. The two stripped off their
overcoats and ran away. Beck fired sew
eral shots at them, but they failed to stop.
Shortly after this the first two men who
had been seen by the policeman hitched
their horse TO a post a short distance away
and came back TO see what had become Of
their companions. Beck recognized them
at once and arrested them. He also Sc
cured the two horses, a wagon and car
riage ard two sets of harness.
Detective Sergeant Kuhn went to Jersey
City yesterday, taking with him Alfred
Lintott, of Silver Lake; Anthony Stefa-
nelli and Frank Nieasia, both of IL
Heeker street. Lintott Identified a big
gray horse and harness and wagon as his
property. The horse he valued at $3.50. 1t
was stolen from his stable last Friday
night. Stefanelli claimed the other harness
and carriage as his, and Nicasia said the
other horse was his. They received their
property.

DETECTIVE RESIGNS
ROBINSON THROWS UP THE
JOB IN JERSEY CITY.
Has Caught Some Bold Criminals.
James Rooney, Detective Ser
geant, Doomed for Place.
Especial to the Evening Star.

JERSEY CITY, Dec. 31.-Captain
William Robinson, nead of the staff
of detectives in Jersey City, surprised
Chief of Police Frank Monahan early
this afternoon by handing the head of
the police department his resignation.
Captain Robinson had for some time
intended to sever his connection with
the police force. but it was not thought
that he would do so before he reached
California, where he will leave in a
day or two with his wife, having been
granted a furlough of two months,
without pay. a few days ago by the
Police Board.
Robinson entered the department as a
ohanceman, or patrolman of the third grade
on April II, 1897, soon after which date he
was promoted to patrolman, and later ad-
vanced to roundsman and captain of the
detective staff. While serving in the capa-
city of c~hanceman. patrolman and rounds
man, Captain Robinson also had charge Of
the Bertillon system. and came in contact
with criminals of all classes so frequently
that he could tell a man or II woman
character by merely g~lancing at their
faces.
Captain Robinson has made numerous
clever captures during his career as a
policeman. One OF the most important
tnlnBs ne uW was 10 eecuie cohNiVti"S
evidence against Old Stone who con-
drcted a bogus employment agency IN
lower Jersey City. He also arrested sew
eral daring burglars and pi~ckpoekets. all
Of whom were convicted and sentenced TO
long terms in prison.
1t is not generally know that Captain
Robinson has resigned from the police de-
partment, therefore 1t is not known who
will succeed him. but Detective Sergeant
James Rooney, who during the shakeup
in the police department several months
ago was acting chief OF the department,
Is prominently mentioned. Rooney is a
clever penman, and besides a detective,
second to no other gum-shoe man in
the city and State. His friends hope
that when the new Police Board makes
the appointment Rooney will be the sue
cessful aspirant for the office.
