a quarter of a century ago, but the
present.day Chicago is perhaps the
most carefully guarded city in the
country.
The why and wherefore of this
greatly improved condition is 5000
policemen-athletes. And the reason
for the athletic force is the civil SER
vice law with its physical require
ments, which the man who would be-
come a "cop" must equal or excel to
become a full-fedged minion of the

service law the Chicago police, fire and
stationary engineers departments now
have standing eligible list, the num-
ber of names running up into the hun
dreds. Hence neither Chief of Police
Shippey nor Fire Marshal Horan are
ever worried about securing good, stur-
dy. men. They are always on hand
ready to report for duty at a mo-
ment's notice.
Scarcely mouth passes but that
new themes of work are suggested to
the civil service commission, tried out
and either accepted or rejected 1t
was the civil service body which gave
the impetus to the move for an ideal
police force and which eventually re-
suited in the formation of Chicago's
famous beauty squad" of coppers un-
der the direction of Maj. Boudet,
soldier who has seen service in the
Cuban campaign in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war.
Maj Boudet and his beauty squad"
head the list of Chicago policemen
ideals and the force is proud of them.
The beauty squad pays more attention
to soldierly tactics than other sections

become a fullhedged minion of the
law
He must have perfect chest heart Iungs his
muscles must be strong, his bones well knitted
he must be at least five feet eight inches in
height, and not more than six feet five inches
Applicants in taking physical tests must tip the
scales between $50 and $50 pounds
Obesity, muscular weakness and poor physique
are insurmountabe barriers to the man with
craving for a place among the finest" Every
muscle in the body undergoes a test which is
made by the use of machines and weights The
Chicago policeman must be able to carry himself
WELL he must be shifty on his feet quick to think
and act. His eyes and ears must be perfect and
his family tree must be absolutely devoid of
hereditary diseases.
In fact the Chicago force to-day is one which de-
mands that be a soldier athlete and min
ion of the law combined. During certain months
each year examinations conducted and dur
ing the fiscal twelvemonth 5000 men were ex-
amined. OF this number about one-half were sue
cessful. First the doctor looks over the appli-
cants then the physical examiner takes the men
in hand and puts them through the most rigid
tests required anywhere in the world. After that
the written examination is given in which each
applicants education is brought to the fore
Civil service tests are severe and absolutely
honest 1t is up to the applicant himself to pass
the tests. You cannot be appointed upon the
Chicago police force by possessing acquaintance
with with pull" So great has been the
success of the system installed by President Ell
ton Lower of the civil service commission and his
aides-H. D. Fargo and NJ. L. McKinley-that to-
day every city of any size in the United States
has its eyes focused upon the details and meth
ods employed by the Chicagoans.
Since President Lower became the leading light
in the work of giving Chicago an efficient police
force, great strides have been taken by the city
toward making its citizens absolutely safe from
criminals
Physical Examiner Edward G. Westake is in
"A measure responsible for bringing out the best
bodily qualifications in the men who are turned
over to him for inspection
Says Examiner Westlake:
stage fright during the physical examination
is one Of the worst setbacks which the tests meet
When man becomes 'fustered, knowing that
"A good job depends upon his every movement it
is quite natural that the best he knows will not
push itself to the surface Hence it is the duty
ni the examiner to alay the fears of the applicant
as much possible.
Consequently have found that it helps men to
do their best by applying suggestions and occa
asionaly allowing man to lay off for few mo-
ments until lie can compose himself When the
period of embarrassment passes as 1t invariably
does, the best that is in the applicant is bound
to come out The men take the tests purely upon
their own merits and perhaps the most severe of
the weght-lifting requirements is that of lifting
a 30pound dumbbell from lying posture the
weight being held back of the applicants head
This is to test stomach muscles. 1t does not

Rather a Bad Record.

Frank Martin is the head and front, the organizer
and the directing agent of those who engaged in
the business of turning the democratic party in the
state over to the reasonable and adulterous Mormon
organization. He has many 1eutenants of course
but he is the head and front of the conspiracy
His chief ally in Idaho county is one W. H.
Cassidy. Cassidy was at Twin Falls swelling the
noise OF the mob, and demanding recognition as a
delegate He had claim whatever to be recog-
nized as delegate from Idaho county. Mr. Cassidy
bolted when Frank Martins brave followers, with
Martin at the head, marched out of the convention
Mr.. Cassidy enjoys getting into print in the inter
esS of the cause which he represents 1t is pecu-
liar pleasure for Mr. Cassidy to attack Senator Du-
bois and to appeal to the democrats to repudate Du
bois and every thing that he represents 1t is pecu-

kootenai County Democrats.

Kootena, Idaho, June %. To The Idaho Scm-
tar: The democrats of Bonner's Ferry precinct
met and held their primaries yesterday and elected
the following delegates to the county convention at
Standpoint, to be held the 23rd of July: Charles
O'Caahan, Mike Fitzpatrick, J. P. Dunn, George
AlbertS, John A. Carlson Tom Hooker, H. C. Fer
brech, F. S. Soose, H. T. Hubble, John Nick1eby
and Richard Burke. That democratic strength is in
creasing encouragingly is shown by the 166 votes
cast by the precinct, which is 14S than were
cast two years ago at the polling place, and
then we elected democrats to most of the important
offices in the county.
Resolutions were adopted endorsing w. J. Bryan
and the anti Mormon plank that was in the demo-
cratic platform two years ago, stronger one if
the declaration can be made stronger
The Boise bunch is busy writing letters to men in
these parts but it is commonly believed that the vot-

notorious ally of Frank Martini and the defender of
Mormon practices Mr.. Cassidy has history which
fits him for the role.
1t might be of interest to the readers of The Scm
itar if chapter of Mr. Cassady's career should be
cited We will take the history from the court
ords of Utah On February 18th, 1898, w. H.
Cassidy was sentenced to serve term of six months
in the Utah penitentiary He served his time, being
discharged July 18th, 1898.
Mr.. Cassidy convicted by jury Judge
Charles Zane presided at the trial. Mr. Cassidy was
not convicted of any high toned crime like burglary,
or forgery, assault with intent to KILL any
thing which required some courage, though it
might be of poor kind. He was convicted of adul-
terry The testimony disclosed state of affairs
which it would not do to print
1t is not to be wondered at that Mr.. Cassidy is
such a defender of the adulterous Mormons, nor is
it to be wondered at that he naturally becomes an
ally and lieutenant of Frank Martin. There are
some respectable gentleman in this conspiracy but
they are mis1ed. They do not understand. Mr.
Frank Martin and Mr.. Cassidy understand fully
and knows what they trying to do. The demo-
cratic party of Idaho however, is yet ready fol-
low the advice of the Boise edition of the Deseret
News and to turn the party over to the Mormons,
and to accept the leadership of Frank Martin w. H.

The Hansbrough Play.

When one considers judicial1y the correspondence
that passed between Senator Borah and G. F, Hans
brough of Blackfoot, Idaho, in relation to the ap-
pointment of Mr., Hansbrough to the position of
federal attorney for Idaho will conclude that it
was cat and mouse play and that Mr.. Hansbrough
was the mouse in the game
He tantalized with expectation from October
to June and then slaughtered and cast aside He had
been promised the position whenever there should be
a vacancy, for he had done good work for Mr.. Borah
in his section, and the time for the creation of
vacancy approached, he kept in suspense day by
day, week by week and month by month and in the
end the appointment went to another and Mr. Hans
brough was left with nothing but shattered hopes
and expectations.
Throughout the entire period of correspondence on
the subject, the senator gave evidence of lack of
sufficient courage to tell the truth to the man whom
he was leading on with implied promises, the truth
being that he had no intention of securing the ap-
pointment of Mr. Hansbrough
While urging him to the backing of Senator
Hepburn, Judge DIETRICH and perhaps others, he was
asserting the fear that the president would not con-
slider his influence sufficient to command an appoint
ment for his own state
The entire transaction, including the removal of
the federal attorney and marshal and the appointment
of their successors shrouded in a mystery that
does not fit into public transaction These officials
are not the officials of senator president They
belong to the people and in the transaction of the
business of the people there can be no legitimate
secrecy.
Mr.. Hepburn says he knew nothing about it and
Congressman French not wise to it. Mr. Borah
admits that he had something do with it, but keeps
up the deuson imposed Mr.. Hansbrough from
October to June, that the president sitting on
he lid.
And so the imposition goes on, one complication
eading to another, and in the end the participants in
IN outrage upon the public will have to admit that
anged web is often woven by those who conspire to
1eceive
