Drop politics. Let the LegisIa-
ture leg.Slate. Let the judges Judge

Here is another sample-an ex-
tract from a speech made the other
night by one of the leading officials
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton:
I know that the reiteration of the
Oft-stated principles OF the President
OF the United States has increased my
feeling of respect toward the stOckhOld-
ers ! represent, toward our competitors,
toward business men, and toward the
public, and that our relations have been
improved. I don't hesitate to make this
confession. According 70 ny belief.
business is done on a better basis and
on a higher plane because If what I
refer to. am an opumist.
In an address made last week to
the students of one Of our leading
universities, a representative of,
perhaps, the leading house of Wall
Street pointed out that, far from
destroying public confidence II
American industries and their pros
poets, the events of the last few
months had actually produced
larger investments in industrial Sc
curities. TO support his contention
he stated that in the last year the
Great Northern Pacific railway
stockholders had increased from
$500 to 1900, the Pennsylvania
railroad stockholders from 10000 to
81, 900, the New York Central from
10000 to $1,000, and that the United
States Steel stockholders were now
over 100000 in number, with aver

Mayhap, the truth may survive
even in Wall Street.

The Blame for Purse Snatching.

Washington is appalled, that
purses can be snatched from its
gentlewomen. 1t ought to be. Yet
its people, whether all-the-year-
round residents or Congressman
who spend only six months year
here, should put where it belongs
the blame that there are not more
effective preventive measures. And
1t does not belong with the police
force.
Five years ago the night force
for the seventy square miles of the
District was not more than 200
men; the day force not more than
100 men. Meanwhile, the population
has increased by $4,000, and the
number of arrests each year by
5000. But the patrol strength of
the Police Department has increased
by only twenty men. This for an
area greater than that covered by
the police department of Buffalo, of
Cincinnati. of Cleveland, of Balti-
more, of st. Louis, and for more
arrests than any of them. By this
showing Washington should have a
police force equal to the largest
among these cities. 1t has the
smallest.
There is only one way to change
all this. and only one place
through Congress. The Major and
Superintendent Of Police has point
ed out the danger of the present
situation as long as it has existed.
The District Commissioners have
iterated and reiterated it. The
newspapers have emphasized 1t.
But we sc all helpless, and our
gentlewomec must still be in a
danger which is, in part at least,
preventable until the House Com
mittee on Appropriations shall fin
ally condescend to give us the safe
guard of an adequate police force.

thai between June, 1906, and June. 1907.
there was an increase of 10 per cent
in crime in the District Of Columbia
AS there was prosperity during that
period the reason for this he said can

now that vote can be had ia about

Senator Aldrich and other friends Of

Gale Vouches
For Honesty
Of A1askans

The Hon Tom Gale NEE CahiIl-sae
Polar Institute Of Simplihed SpeIIiug)
delegate from Alaska, IS convinced thar
the far northwest Territory is inhabited
by the most honest people in the world
And he can prove il.
Last spring" said Mr.. Gale. "when
the election for delegates took place in
Alaska, Swede tramped sixty miles
into Fairbanks to vote. He appeared at
the polling place and said:
Ay tank ay want a Tom Gale ticket.
II was handed over. and he voted It,
Then he stood in an uncertain attitude
for few moments, and finally, polzing
his dst into his pocket and dragging
out a handful Of nuggets asked;
'Ay been ready 10 pay now; now
much?'
''Alasla's the only place on earth, %
declared Gale. where a man would
walk sixty miles TO vote, and then Of
fer TO pay Why, down in this effete
country. YOU have 10 pay EN- to vote.
and then send a buggy to haul EN- two
blocks 10 the polls"
But Gale has another case even more
startling Last summer, when he was
coming out OF Alaska to start for Wash
inEtOE an old friend. CAPTAIN Stems.
rode out with him in the lighter to the
Seattle steamer. IN Nome harbg~ Just
as they parted, Captain Stems asked
Gale for a chew OF tobacco. Gale hand
ell II over, and after taking the chew,
Captain Stems thcughtlessly put the
huge plug into his own pocket And
chewing tobacco, be II remembered, IS
chewing tobacco, up IN Alaska
Gale forgot the incident, but the other
day. a rap came on the door OF his hotel
in Washington, and in walked Captain
Stems.
How, TOm?" he said, I've come
down TO bring back thu plug o. ter
baccer that 1 didn't mean 10 steal. Hone

with he handed over the half-pOund

An to provo that story" concluded
Gale, here's the plug. See IL you car
