ITO MANY BAD POLICEMEN

4
The Chicago Tribune dscourses,
editorally, on the apparent demoral-
lization OF so many men on the police
force, and the possible causes therefor.
| II points out the fact that, while the
lefty has a very large number of en-
lployes in its many municipal depart
ments, none of these outside of the
police force have ever been accused
or robbing women, assaulting unof-
Tending citizens, or of being drunk on
iduty We quote:
What is the matter with the police
force?, The patrolman who was sent
TO the penitentiary the other day for
robbery said he was an honest man
before he was appointed and that It
was police work which made him a
criminal. Nobody is ready to believe
that. Some other explanation of the
prevalence of crime among policemen
should be forthcoming !"
Verify, there are none SO blind as
those who will not see-especially
those whose eyes are weighted with
liquor license dollars. The policeman
Is, OF necessity. an habitue ~of the
saloons he Is empowered TO watch
and attemp. to control. Familiarity

James W. Chapman once a Blacksmith Here
Nova Large Land Owner on Eastern Shore

That Delawaae boy need not have
TO go away from home, travel West or
go OH to New York to seek fortune and
get along in the world, is constantly
demonstrated in successful men all
over the Peninsula. Forty years ago,
James W. Chapman, a sturdy young
fellow of Smyrna, worked atthe anvil
there and got strong right arm from
the exercise, good constitution and
80 week. He conversed with eyerv
farmer while he worked and made
mental note of everything worth keep
ing In mind. At night instead of
lounging on the corners or wasting
time around the hotels, he studied.
To-day Mr.. Chapman is said to be the
most successful man on the peninsula
and the best judge of farm land and
farm values in the country. On Thurs
day he purchased of Judge James A.
Pearce the "Eilerslie" farm, (really
three beautiful farms divided only by
the private road along which the ow ner
can drive aud survey his property. }
The "Ellerslie" farm is in Kent coanty
Maryland, just across west of the Del
aware line. 1t consists of 462 1 2 acres
and, with the crops, Mr.. Chapman
brought it for $17,5OO Within an hour
after the papers were signed, Mr.. Chap
man refused cash offer of $50, 900 for
his purchase. He owns, in addition
to this excellent land, three large
farms near Lynch's consisting of 925
acres. The minute he comes into
| possession of property he begins i'm
provements. New fences, new build
ings and fresh paint must be put on
at once and the Chapman farms are
now the most picturesque and desira-
bic in this section. About two years
ago, Mr.. Chapman purchased farm
near the Delaware line and, before the
sun went down and before the papers
were signed, men who know his iudg-
ment of land, were around with better
offers to him. He resold the farm thai
night and made 81 200.
