Women Police.

w omen L OLIC6.
BELGIUM is one of those countries that is con-
tnually standing in the limeight Her latest plea
for notoriety was achieved by adding women to the
police force which, it is predicted will prove valua
BILE adjunct to the department. The chief OF police
of Client is the who started the innovation, and
he has all the confidence in the world in the opposite
sex preservers of the peace. He thinks they will
make admirable detectives presumably because their
bump of curiosity is more highly developed than
that of man. In speaking of the new experiment
the chief had this to say in regard to the change:
Indeed, I expect from the policewomen very
great services especially in the department connect
ed with public morals. Their tactful instinct will
enable them to gain access to many quarters where
is misrusted; they will listen and observe; they
will question people and make them speak in many
cases where policeman detective of our own sex
can only induce people to keep their mouths shut,
out of mere suspicion.
ut is the universal experience of students of po-
lice problems all over the world that the male force
at present constituted is thoroughly unsatisfac
tory. The policemen present many defects, which
are the absolute despair of reformers. In London,
Paris, Berlin, New York and other great cities they
troubled with the problems in various FORMS
The policeman is often dishonest stupid, tactess,
incorporate, lazy or brutal Sometimes he combines
several of these defects and not nfrequenty he has
all of them. need hardly say that large part of
the misery and discomfort suffered in cities is
due to the defects of the police. The failure of
policemen to detect and suppress crime leads to loss
of life and money. The conduct Of others in pro-
tecting crime is a still more serious evil.
1--WE studied this great problem in Client, and
we decided that very radical innovation neces-
sary before could overcome an evil which had
been the despair of the whole world for SO many
years. To solve the problem evolved in the first
place the police dog He is, | believe, free from
nearly all the conspicuous defects mentioned He is
dishonest, stupid tactless, Incorporate or lazy
cannot exactly say that he is brutal, for we
must not expect too much of dog. Certainly the
police dog is incorruptibly honest I must say to
the credit of dogs that not of them has ever
been led aside from the path of duty by the most
tempting bone or piece of meat.
1.-THE dog is certainly most valuable assistant to
the policeman, and makes up for the human func-
tonary's defects. The dog is absolutely invaluable
in pursuing and overtaking criminal when the po-
liceman is too stout or too lazy to pursue. His
watchfulness is proverbia and he hears noises which
even the most alert policeman would miss. As an
auxiliary policeman the dog has established per-
manent position on our force and on those of many
other cities"

Commitments sure they have, and their discharges;
And one man in his time serves many terms,
And breaks paroles by DOZENS There's the infant
Swathed in about hundred pounds of CLOTH
And then the school-boy, writing "Time is Money"
And longing for forbidden swimming holes.
Then there's the lover prisoned fast in slghs,
Fettered by glances, chained by single hair
Locked in embraces. Then the bearded soldier,

To put polish on the captains boots.
And then the justice, mounting plattudes,
Protection of society,"" serious crime,"

The dark cell of convention. Then the old man,
Whose nose is firmly held by and grandsons.
And last the grave the strongest Jail of all,
From which there's no release on habeas corpus.

A Guarantee Made Good.

Have you heard anything about 1t
(the Republican party) guaranteeing
you a profit on your crops?"- said
John w. Kern, Bryan's candidate for
in a recent address to
farmers.
Every one of Kern's hearers could
dou btless have told him that they had
heard of the Republican party maxi
ign such a guarantee, and that the
guarantee had been made good. The
Dingley tariff law, enacted by Re-
publican Congress, after American
farmers had been subjected to four
years of depression, distress and prof
itless labor under the Democratic
Wilson-Gorman law, gives the farmer
ample protection from the COMPETE
ton OF Canada and Europe, and by
the protection which 1t extends to
other American Industries, it has
built up and secured to the farmer
home market at good prices for all
that he can raise.
Yes, Mr.. Kern, the Republican par
ty does guarantee the farmer a profit
on his crops, and he gets the profit.

Change without Notice.

There ought to be a change, walls
a Democratic newspaper, because the
Republican party has been in too
long and is apt to be so secure in its
fancied power as to be Indifferent to
measures demanded or opposed by
the people. The argument to dis
charge a faithful servant after years
of efficient work, loyal adherence to
duty and assiduous application to his
particular calling whereby he trains
himself to be more familiar with and
better fitted for his labors, solely on
that account, may not be extremely
persuasive to the average employe,
but such is the Democratic idea.
If the man who works in the tin
plate mill stays there too long. he is
likely to become too proficient and
should be discharged! Time of ser
vice renders a glassworker unfit for
further connection with a certain
glass factory and he ought to be
bounced! They should, perhaps, be
made to give up that work and go
into some other trade. And the
same way in other callings.
There are men working in factories
In CIarksburg who have held their
jobs. rendering entire satisfaction TO
with which they have supported them

and years. but, according to the
Democratic argument, they have held
their jobs too, too long and ought
to get out.
But, to come back to the case of
the Republican party in its several
years OF successful administration of
national affairs, surely the argument
that it should be kicked out simply
because it has been in charge as long
as it has. ought not to be seriously
entertained without just considera-

From number of points through
out the State comes reports of Dem
ocratic interference with Republican
meetings, by false alarms of fire. the
bowling through meEaphones, and
the devious other ways In which
rowdyism finds its natural outlet
when the truth gets too strong toI
suit the limited apprehension of I'M
willing listeners. Hon. Stuart F.
Reed, candidate for secretary of
state, while making an address Fri
day evening last, had to put up with
considerable Interference from Demo
cratic rowdies armed with mega
phones, and it was at length found
necessary to clear the hall of oLSec-
tionable characters before the meet
ing could be proceeded with. Dem
ocratic interference of the Taft meet
ing at Wheeling last week has been
made the subject OF police investi-
cation, and in all probability prose-
cutions will follow.
This move OF the Democracy ap-
pears to be the carrying out OF a pre-
arranged plan, and 1t is indicative

The Democratic leaders in West

view of the many falsehoods now go

dangerous. However, the very fact
that they have made no effort what

evidence a plenty that they are at

with the means employed in the en-
