REPORTERS GOOD DETECTIVES
Chief koher Thinks They Can Show
"Fly" Force Points in the
Game
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 19.-The
police reporter in his native state is a
highly intelligent being and can give
the best police department sleuths cards
and spades and then beat them at their
own game in the opinion of Chief
Kohler, who bosses the Cleveland blue
coats.
In his annual report to Mayor john
son Kohler makes the recommendation
that the police reporters employed by
the various Cleveland dailies be given
police powers, and that they be made
members of q secret department con-
nected with the force.
As Chief Kohler's word is law in his
bailiwick, the police reporters already
are discussing the nature and design Of
the badges they are to receive, so GER
tain are they that soon they will be de-
tectives in name as well as in reality
Because of their peculiar training,
said the chief today, 1.-The police re-
porters are best fitted to mingle in all
classes of society. They are quick and
decisive in thought and action. L wish
Ia give the regular detectives full cred
1t for their ability, but the nature of
police work in city of more than hall
million population Is undergoing
changes to which the present detectives
cannot always adapt themselves.
THE force should be enabled to have
police reporters at its command, men of
sufficient training and ability to be able
to mingle with any class of society and
who would not be known to the public
as being In the employ Of the city. The
reporters would not be held In any way
under civil service rules. and I'm con-
nection with their newspaper work
would be a great aid to the depart
! ment."

Robin Adair, an old prize winner
and the father of a prize winning line
sat in state on a royal purple cushion.
He has ceased striving for prizes, con-
tenting his old age with seeing his
scions take away the blue marks of
excellence. Old Robins coop was deco
rated with nine ribbons, all of them
trophies of bygone days when he was
cat to be reckoned with.
Prizes for Junior
In a coop beside him sat Robin
Adair, jr., "chip off the old block :"
Well had the young cat learned the
lessons of his sire. A blue ribbon, a
silver cup and a handsome picture
adorned his cage for the delectation of
his mistress, Mrs. G.. Fl. Kriechbaum
This cat took first prize at San Diego
short time ago.
Several other sons of Robin Adair
sr, had coops in different parts of the
show, and few OF them were surpassed
in their class.
Boy Blue, Lula Woosters blue an
CORA Thomas cat, captured a large
blue ribbon which he Haunted on his
coop. His mistress had bedecked her
pets cage with light blue, lining the
interior completely with that color
and providing a large eozy cushion
on which his lordship might recline II
he so desired. The layout in this coop
was remarkable. Two silver cups, one
tin cup, and cup and saucer of blue
china adorned 1t and gave the cat
work enough and to spare to keep from
knocking over one or more of his Ves-
sells.

BENSON1ZER COMPANY,
Denver, Colo:

The bright smiles of old Sol lured
park yesterday to see the choice col
lection gathered within the crystal
walls of the Chutes pavilion. The
judges finished their work of award
ing ribbons and special prizes yester-
day, and as result about eighty own
ers of thoroughbreded pussies are
happy, While as many more are feel
ing aggrieved. Indeed some of the in
jured ones have gone SO far as to ap-
peal from the decision of the judges.
The cat show was at it's best last
night. The hundred and fifty or more
blue blooded pussies were primped and
combed and groomed their very best,
and even the cages We're decorated.
Thomas cats and Mrs Pussies reclincd
on blue, yellow and red silk and satin
pillows. the cynosure of hundreds of
admiring eyes.
Occasionally some unregenerate
would express himself frankly. One
young fellow with petite miss on his
arm triedt right himself with the
world at large by saying, II hate cats,
but Bess wanted to come, so we came"
There were others who did not come
wholly for the sake of the pussies, but
the majority were avowedly cat lovers.
Play Cats Cradle
The cats entertained their visitors
in many ways. Some had satin-cov-
cred spools which they swung vigor-
ously to and fro. Others sat on the top
of their smilaX-b -bedecked coops and
frolicked and played with any one who
would stop moment. one little fell
low near the front vigorously rang a
bell to his own delight and to the ad-
dition of the noise. A short haired
maltese, Sweetheart owned by Mrs.
Donnellon, stood up and begged, played
ball and performed several other feats.
He is a blue ribbon pussy who was
brought from New York four months
ago. Some played cats cradle and

The most popular cat in the show
was undoubtedly Prince Charming, a
great white angora neuter belonging
TO Mrs. E. A. Wright. This cat is
"the" cat of the show. He has at

admiration than any other feline on
exhibition. Almost the first place the

being prize pussy, he has the distinc-
tion of being a well-tempered cat,
something rare among the higher bred
felines.
Princes Heart Tender
AS a proof of his good temper and
general good feeling toward the world,
his mistress tells the story that Prince
one day caught mouse and a bird, but
his tender heart prevented his hurting
them so he played with them and let
them go. Last year his mistress pro-
Vided white mice with which he played,
and at present he passes his spare
hours playing with several rabbits.
Another phenomenal feature of this
pussy is that he likes to have his face
washed, an operation which he under
goes every morning when he arises.
Engraved calling cards inform the
visitor that Prince Charming is at
home Sundays.

THE BOSSES RESPONSIBLE.

Experience will doubtless demonstrate
that our primary election law, while very
good as whole. requires some changes,
and demands for its amendment will III
all probability be made upon the Legs
lature at its next session. One change
suggests itself to us and that is that
nominations are closed longer than
necessary before the date of the pri-
mary. The primary will be held Janu-
arv 2S next, and yet all parish and ward
candi lates must give notice in writing
of the fact that they are candidates not
later than the first of November. 1t oc-
ours to us that the law might give cam
didates more time to make up their
minds and enter the race.-Guardlan-
Journal. .
The time was limited through the in
huence and dictation of the New Or
leans Bosses. As the Bosses did not
fancy the restriction of the primary law,
thew have and do hold it in contempt,
and have done and will do all in their
power to impair its usefulness. The prl-
mary law being the very life of fair and
honest nomination by popular election,
is viewed with abomination by the
Bosses. And no wonder, since their
schemng is limited to the minimum.

BOSSES AND BOSSES.


of them are not found in New Orleans.
They have even been known to grow III
Caddo. Teh only difference between
the New Orleans boss and the Caddo
boss is that the latter is not called a
boss, but is sometimes referred to as
leading citizen" 1t remains TO be
seen how many Of the common, ordinary
voters of Shreveport and Caddo parish
are going to be led in this cainpalgn.--
Baton Rouge State.
1t will be conceded that there are po-
litical Bosses in Caddo parish, but these
bosses are in every respect the opposite
of the New Orleans Bosses.
The Bosses of Caddo are moved by
patriotic impulses and not mercenary lie
signs.
In politics they stand for all that
which is promotive of the peoples wei
fare. and they encourage the electlou Of
the best men for offices. They Dc not
trade and barter in politics, nor ever
sell or trade their birthright to the I'lsh-
est bidder, nor for any emoluments aris-
ing from politics.
The Caddo Bosses are not professional
time-servers, nor are they dependent on
politics for a livelihood. AS a rule, with
| rare exceptions, they represent the man.
hood and the best citizenship of the par
lish. The contrast between the New Or
leans Bosses and the Caddo Bosses IS
as day is to night.
In the New Orleans Bosses is embod-
led all that which is venal i'll politics.
The New Orleans Bosses stand as re-
Election of discreiit OH all that is decent
in politics and is odious and rank smell
| ing in the nostrils of the reputable citi-
zenship Of Louisiana.
With rare exceptions the New Or
LEANS Bosses have been all things to all
men. The only wonder is that they
have not long since been squelched by
the better class of the citizens of Ne"
Orleans. Caddo could never be doml
mated by such Bosses as have controlled
| New Orleans. In Caddo such Bosses
would be kicked out of the parish I'M
tremendously. The system of Bosslsn
which prevails in New Orleans would
not be tolerated an instant in Caddt
parish.
| We repeat, the political Bosses o
Caddo parish are the opposite OF tn
New Orleans product; they do not bar
ter and trade in politics; they are no
combined against the people, but stan'
for what is right, for good governmen
against spoliation and all the thing
which are abhorrent to honest and fal
minded men.
| The curse of Louisiana today i
Bossism descended from the era of Re
construction, intensified by Fosterisn
dating from the days of the Lottery
\; when Murphy J. Foster became Gov
ernor of Louisiana and afterwards sur
rendered all that which is manly AM
honorable to the Bosses. 1t was hi
trading and his traficking with the New
Orleans Bosses ana his stand with tn
Bosses now which has operated to tn
detriment and to the discredit of LOUIS
. lana.
Il In the New Orleans Bosses is cen
tered Sandersism and Fosterism and
things political which suggest indigna
ton and disgust to the intelligent voter
not hound to this most odious of politl
| cal machine.
Down with the Bosses.
Sanders must go.
