CLOTHED IN A LITTLE
BRIEF AUTHORITY.

At q convention OF the Interna-
tional association OF Police Chiefs
which was held in Detroit, Michigan,
last week, q resolution was unani.
mously adopted declaring that po-
licemen are entitled to more respect
and consideration. The cartooning
and caricaturing Of the policeman In
publications, and the making Of him
a subject Of ridicule In stage produc-
lions was condemned and efforts to
stop 1t were ordered begun.
At last the long.suffering police
officer has turned upon the pack OF
yelping ours who beset bis heels. The
bowling mob Of wolves who are seek.
Ing to pull the gallant policeman
from the lofty pedestal upon which
he has placed himself, is about to be
dispersed. No lonI er will the anarch.
istic cartoonist be permitted to carl
cature our handsome police officers;
no longer will the photographers be
allowed to indulge in coarse With.
cisms in regard to our policemen,
and woe betide the criminal actor OF
comedian who shall permit himself
to indulge In irreverant and disgust.
Ing near.iokes against the flower and
chiyalry Of our government, our
sacred policeman.
In the past newspapers have, al
times, been disrespectiul and rash
enough to protest against what they
claimed the useless and brutal club

this kind, q writer will be compelled
to take into consideration tina,
probably the victim was rude or i'm
polite to the officer. A certain metro

this week with 9 lengthy editoria
condemning the system which allow

EXPOSING PARTY TREACHERY.

Democrats are interested In the
factionsl strife going on In the ranks
OF the Republican party In Bates
county, only to the extent oikeeping
a line on those gentlemen and the
bearing it may have on the cam
paign.
W. o. Atkeson, candidate for Re-
publican nomination for Congress,
has felt that he had a grievance
against certain leaders In his party,
opposed to his nomination and he
goes after them hammer and tongues.
In a 3A column article published In
the Republican. Press last week he
exposed party treachery on the part
of some leaders which, II true, is un-
pardonsble from a party stand
point, and which up to this time
have not been denied by those gentle
men. The following are excerpts from
his article bearing on the charges
and published without prejudice by
US:
"On the night before the Congress.

STONE OPPOSES
DEBATE WITHIN PARTY,

Senator Stone takes strong posi-
tlon against joint speeches or de.
hates between Democrats. The Kan
sas City Post had suggested debates
between Champ Clark and Jim Red,
and between Senator Stone and Gov.
Folk. The Senator writes the Post
as follows: 81 should think that
Democrats would not only want to
nominate candidates, but elect them.
We have had too much iactioDalism
In Missouri already. II there is any
thing that endangers Democracy su.
premacy In this state Il is this. 1t Is
the duty OF every Democrat to strive
to allsy rather than to intensity that
spirit. As l assume that Messrs.
Clark, Reed and Folk intend to sup.
port the state and national plat
forms and tickets, as certainly OK
pect to do, l do not see what Issue oil
public moment there would be for
any OF US to debate. Instead OF dis.
GUESSING public questions involving
party differences, such q proceeding
as that suggested would almost Ger.
tainly degenerate into mere personal
wrangling and controversy. =
For myself am entirely willing togo
over the state, beginning at::any time
after my opening speech at:Marshal
on July 1e, and jointly debate polit'
ical questions with any Republican
whose public and party standing Il

But 90 far as the Democratic cam
paign within the party is concerned

ed to arouse personal or iactions

SOME MORE PLEDGES.

The Huntington Advertiser re-
minds the Republican party of the
Inference between its promises and
its performances. The instances are
numerous and the differences glar-
ins.
The Republican party in West
Virginia is pledged to primary
election law. Yet. in three lecisla.
1--WE sessions since the formal pledge
vas last made, no such law has been
enacted.
The Republican party is pledged
% the passage OF a registration law.
Not only so, but by their vote on
constitutional amendment. the
1eople OF the state commanded the
legislature of the state to pass a
registration law. Yet the Republi-
'an party has refused to pass such
I law, save i'm a form in which it Is
admitted by Republicans and Demo
rats. alike to be joke of the pur-
est ray serene.
The Republican party is pledged
o the adjustment of the fee sys-
tenn and the enactment OF a county
salary law. Yet the special session
of the legislature has just adjourned
after having placed on the statute
book about the hughest joke that
was ever perpetrated upon n long
suffering people. The original prop
osition was that all fees now re-
eived by county officers should go
to the state treasury, and that the
officers themselves should receive a
straight salary, n system that has
proven very satisfactory in other
states. The law as passed by our
republican friends provides that
the officials shall still receive all
the fees up to a certain limit. which.
in the case OF the sheriff for in
stance, is five thousand dollars
Above that limit the puny bagateIle
Of eighty-five per cent of the fees
30 to the office-holder, and the mu.
nificent amount of fifteen per cent
Of the fees go to the state. Such a
law will surely bankrupt some of
the officials who have received such
enormous sums in the past from the
fee system.
The Republican party, in it's plat.
form. solely pledged itself to abol-
ish the direct state tax. Yet the di-
rect state tax is still in effect. and
with the increase in property valu-
alton, is practically as large as it
was when the great tax reform"
movement was started.
These are just few instances.
The Republican party in West Vir-
ginia is certainly entitled to the
palm as the champion promise
breaker of the nation.

NORMAL SCHOOL
PEOPLE PLEASED
WITH BILL THAT PASSED LEG.
STATURE.
Provides for Teachers Certificates
Without the Formally of an
Examination.

The passage OF the educational
bill. including the provision that
graduates of the state normal
schools shall be given number one
certificates good for period of Ave
years after graduation. is looked
upon by the friends of the normal
schools as the strongest blow ever
struck i'm their behalf. For years
they have been fighting to attain
just this end and they are now much
pleased upon the accomplishment
of their purpose.
Under the old law with he normal
diploma Offering no more advantage
that an academic one the students
were largely inclined to take the
latter. Now 1t is believed that those
who wish to teach will see the great
benefit to be derived from the nor
NAL course and will take this in
stead.
AS the normal school is essential
ly an institution for the training of
teachers, and the normal course laid
out especially for this purpose, the
educators feel that the new enact
ment will greatly elevate the place
of the free schools of West Vir-
ginia.

New York, March 6.-Vice Presi.
dent Frank Bailey, OF the Title
Guaranty and Trust company, will
sail for Europe tomorrow, and while
abroad will make an exhaustive
study of the Credit Foncier and
French methods OF loaning money
on real estate. Mr.. Bailey declares

Ter investments in times OF financial
trouble than so-called conservative

II hope said Mr.. Bailey. that
as result OF existing conditions the
managers OF the great trust funds
such as life insurance companies
and savings banks, win come TO see
that part OF their duty is to help
and aid the thrifty people to obtain
a home and will give them the same
rate of interest as the man who
wishes to borrow 100000. If
there is any one thing that the City
OF New York needs it is a greater
number of home owners, but If each
nome owner must borrow where he
can at any old rate, paying more
interest than the fellow who wishes
to borrow 100000 or 100000.
then the managers of trust funds
are not doing their duty.
