BIG POLICEMAN SEWS--
BOYS ARE GRATEFUL

Boys come into juvenile court, I'M
kempt, soiled and ragged. They never
leave till hands and face are washed,
hair brushed and clothes. necessary,
sewed, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Aug. 49,
When boy, long unaccustomed to
soap and water, arrives, he's shown n
washstand and clean towel, and told to
use them. A brush and comb suggests
second step toward neatness, but the
third step, patching and mending his
clothes. Is beyond the ken OF the or
binary youngster.
To this end Patrolman Harry Morgan
detailed to Juvenile court, has long d.
rected his efforts. In the last few
months, by dint of frequent practise,
Morgan has become so expert in the
use of thread, needle and odd pieces of
cloth, that no boy leaves the court now
adays with even the suggestion of
raggedness about him.
Yesterday a policeman brought In a
boy found sleeping in n barn. His
coat had been made for n man, the
trousers. showing the effects of many
nights in rain and weather, momen,
tarily gave signs OF falling to pieces
I'm here, young man." said Morgan,
as he scanned the new arrival with cri-
teal eye and pointed toward am inner
room. In there the boy went. rags
and all; and when he came out, his
own mother would hardly have known
him The loose, l0-sizes- too large coat
fitted as II made to order, the trousers
had been cut. patched, ripped and
sewed. They were good for another
year or so.

He says with the greatest care his

Mrs. Mcdonald is one of the best
known and most popular Of our Ameri-
can hostesses, but owing to her hus-
bands health was able to- do practically
nothing during the brief time she spent
here this season. Mrs. Mcdonald was

We're robbed In gambling house in

Why did the captain Of police not act ?
Why is 1t that the Mormon and the
Jack Mormon press have spared Bur-
bidge? Is 1t not because Burbidge is
on u mission for the Church 10 play
the part of a tory in the police depart
ment?
If Sheets and Raleigh are guilty Bur
bidge is also guilty, for he had guilty
knowledge of the crime and did not do
his duty towards bringing the offenders
to punishment.
1t is not sufficient to say that Bur-
bdge did not know a crime had been
committed for he was at the depart
ment when the complaint was made.
He was I'm the room with the others. IL
he did not know about the affair he is
incompetent. If II is proper TO say
George Sheets showed his Incompetence
by not arresting the offenders 1t is
equally true OF Burbidge, the next In
authority.
But Burbidge is a high priest In the
Church. He is In the department be-
cause he is a Mormon elder. He is re-
tanned there because he Is endorsed by
the Church and because he knows too
much about the conduct OF several
councilmen. There is no other reason.
1t would be a shame to oblige any
good man to be submitted to the dan
gerous manipulations of this mission
airy No true friend of the new chief
win urge the retention of John B. Bur-
bidge. And every good American will
find out why several OF the councilmen
are fighting to retain him, Ask your
councilman why?

County Attorney Pickett of Wash

in consultation with Attorney General

Mr.. Pickett tells an interesting story
about the oil excitement in eastern

of the underground supply; and with
this In view has started two other
