PUBLIC RESPONSIBLE
FOR BURGLARS ESCAPE
Local eeopIs Live In Fsa of Behind Aassk7"

1t is fact despite the criticism that
has been heaped upon the local police
department, that fewer burglaries
wherein articles of great value are
er of the size in this section of the
country. The reason is not hard to
find. The department, has a system,
which it puts into operation immedi-
ately upon the receipt of a report of
burglary. This system works smooth
ly and effectively and within the past
three years there have not been half
a dozen burglaries transacted that ap-
peared to give the least indication Of
having been the work of a profess
sional.
There have been dozens of petty
burglaries and the police were unable
to ferret out the guilty persons. There
have been other dozens of burglaries
that were reported, but in fact never
were such. Persons lost or mislay
their pocketbooks or some article of
value. They can not find it when
next they look in the place it has been
kept and Immediately construe rob-
berry has been committed. Then word
is sent to the police, usually by tele-
phone.
The police take up the search. Sus-
picious characters are investigated but
no clue is obtained. A week or two
afterward, someone-hardly ever the
original informant, makes known the
fact the missing article has been
found. Perhaps 1t was found the next
day or even a few hours after it was
lost, but this fact seldom is told the
police.
Public to Blame.
The fault SO many petty thieves
avoid arrest is due to the attitude of
the public. Persons are careless.
They take precautions against thieves
and burglars only to guard against the
professionals, however. They do not
observe the opportunities given to
children and amateur thieves to rob
and steal. In this way they stand in
the way of the police making arrests
before the probably guilty person can
leave the city.
1t was only during the past week,
that woman residing in the East
End waited three days to report to the
police the fact that her home was en-
tered Sunday evening and purse con-
tanning So stolen. A railroad man
claimed his trousers were robbed Of
$65 from the pockets while he lay
asleep, using the trousers as pillow.
He discovered his loss at 1870 O'Clock
at night, but made no report to the
police until almost noon. What
chance had the ponce then?
The city is comparatively free from
the acts Of burglars and there must
be reason. Persons possessing val
liable plate or accustomed to have
quantities of currency at their homes
usually own private safes or vaults.
Others exercise care and do not leave
any considerable quantity OF money
about their homes. The local banks
and trust company are equipped with
splendid burglar proof vaults They
conduct a safety deposit system and
rent boxes for small sum. These
are taken advantage of generally.
It was only a few weeks ago. that
one of the finest residences of the city
was entered. A member of the house
hold WAS awakened and notified the

The Russian Bear Is gowing about

begging money, He wants a mere tri-
fle OF four hundred million dollars and
is visibly panied that no one seems
eager to accommodate him. France,
which In times past has been the main
prop OF Russian finances. pleads other
necessities and neither In London nor
Berlin is any enthusiasm manifested
over the forthcoming loan.
II Is not an unreasonable belief that
the Jews. who have suffered previous
ly at the hands of Russia, are contem-
plating the opportunity for partially
evening up the score. II goes with
out saying that no such loan as Rus
STA requires can be successfully
launched without the cooperation at
Jewish bankers in London and Paris.
A hint OF this is contained In a recent
issue of the Jewish Chronicle" which
says: In spite OF the outward ap-
pearance Of calm and the dispersal
and execution of revolutionaries
there Is no evidence that Russia 10
really pacified and until the pacifica-
ton Is complete, resting on the ac-
quiescence and contentment OF the
people. 1t would surely be financially
unwise to embark on any large add.
ton to the already large commitments
OF the Russian Empire"
Russia Is In dire need of money and
IL she is unable to float the loan IN
Europe she probably will turn to Am
erica. European men OF finance re-
gard 1t as highly improbable that she
would be able to get large assistance
In the United States. where domestic
financial matters are far from being
In satisfactory condition.

HAS A PECULIAR EFFECT.
SUGGESTION THAT AMERICAN
SHIPS PROTECT THE ISLAND
AGAINST ENGLANp's ORIENTAL
ALLY CUTS DEEPLY.
(By William True Hawthorne.)

London, Sept 26.-The Green-eyed
Monster Is gnawing at John Bulls
vitals. He is jealous. Unfortunately
and unreasoningly Jealous of America
and all things American, especially
all nautical things pertaining TO AM
erica. The iron is iii his soul because
Of the effect produced by the visit OF
the American battleship fleet TO Aus
tralian waters and the wonderfully en-
thusiastic reception accorded II by His
Majesty subjects of the Island Con-
unent. Australians have since talked
and thought md dreamed of nothing
but America and Americans and the
British pride is piqued.
1t by no means salves his wounds
to remind John Bull that no modern
British war vessel of the first class
has ever visited Australia. and that
the novelty of so formidable a fleet
as that which flew the American flag
could not help but arouse Australian
interest. He bitterly charges his gov
eminent with having neglected imper-
iai interests In allowing America 10
show Australia what q hattIeship
,ieet looked like. but more bitter still
is he against his government for hav-
ing entered into an alliance with jap
an which forced Australia into a kin.
ship OF interests with the United
States rather than with the mother
country. Australians perhaps have
not been tactfuI in the suggestion that
they might have to look to the AM
ericar batleships TO protect them from
England's Oriental ally; but no mat.
ter how unfortunate the suggestion,
IL has been bitter one for English
men. Australia is the bright particu-
lar gem of the British colonies and
that II should be suggested that the
mother country is unable or unwilling
to protect her is about the heighth
of sorrow.
That the crown officers in Austria
liza recognize that this new enthus-
iasm for America is thing that must
be reckoned with Is evidenced by the
fact that they are clamoring for the
immediate visit of British fleet OF
battleships TO Australia. II IL propose
ed that the Commonwealth shall form
ally invite the British Admiralty TO
cause such visit TO be made, and no
secret Is made of the fact that IL Is
considered desirable the British fleet
should be larger and more impressive
than the one which was there flying
the American flag.

This plan of governing the city by

which overwhelmed a large part Of
that city with such great destruction
and loss of life not many years ago

Views Of a Democratic Congressman.

views OF a Oemocrattc Con0VeSSn an.
There is Democratic Congressman
down in the state of New Jersey
whose views in the present campaign
are receiving scant publicity from the
Democratic managers. The Congress-
man in question is Hon. Eugene w.
Leake of Jersey City, lifelong DEM
ocrat and now representing the Ninth
New Jersey district in Congress. He
refused Democratic denomination
last summer because he could not
stand Bryan or the Bryan platform,
and he is now upon the stump speak
ing day and evening in the interests
of the Republican ticket. MIR. Leake
declares that whatever the moral quail
tiles of Mr. Bryan he is absolutely de-
void Of political sincerity and that his
election to the presidency would be the
greatest calamity the country has ex-
perenced since the Civil War. Says
Mr.. Leake:
ton for Congress because | would not
make a monkey out of myself in fol-
lowing Rryan and endorsing his
political vagares Most people forget
that the choosing of d president comes
close to their Cwn affairs When a
presidential campaign becomes far
removed from the people, the in
disidual forgets that the American
people have confided their prop
erty, business or work to a chief
magistrate. That man can either
benefit or injure the peoples work.
The only evidence we have of Mr..
BryanS conservatism is his choice of
issues. He has found statements with
which no one will disagree, but by
such d trick he cannot deceive the
people. The question is not Shall
the people rule but the issue in
every Bryan campaign is Shall the
people be fooled?' Bryan is pollti-
cal fanatic. His heart may be right
but his head is wrong. He is a nat
ural agitator a prophet of discomfort.
He thinks he is right and is seeking
converts. He is a Populist, and is as
dangerous today as he was in 1896.
He cannot be defeated by calling him
d dema gogue, but only by exposing
his Inconsistencies and his incompe-
tencc. The choice of the American
people is between Bryan and Taft.
between political brainstorm and
a conservative, levelheaded and
honest administrators | think that
the people of New Jersey are
heartily in favor of Taft. The
quiet, stay-at-home folks. who are
not saying a word. but are doing d
lot of thinking will cast their votes
for Taft in November. Bryan'S vote
in jersey will be pitiably small
Daily Kennebec journal., 1908-10-14

The thoughtful lady who recently
sent t. the New York Herald the sug-
gestion that President might help out
the Taft campaign by taking the
stump incognitc." failed to say just
what combination of disguise would ne
best suited to the hero of San Juan hill.
While her idea does not appear to have
impressed the political managers with
it's practically. she may at least have
the satisfaction IF knowing that it has
contributed not 4 little to the humor of
the campaign.

Bryan as a Prophet.

In one of mis- speeches in the campaign
of 1896, Mr.. Bryan INDUCED in the fol-
lowing prophecies
If Mckinley and the Republican
Party are successful and put lr power
for the next four years. wages will be
decreased. hard times will come upon
us. and over the land the price of
wheat will go down and the price OF
gold will go up; mortgages on our
homes will he forecosed by the money
lenders: shops and factories will close
We will export no goods and we will
import from foreign lands all the goods
We use; thus will ruin, want and mis-
cry be with us
AS the journal has already PORTED
out. not one of these prophecies ever
came true. Instead of hard times, the
Mcjtinley upon an era of magnificent
prosperity. Wheat rose in price instead
of falling. Shops and factories long
idle resumed active operation. Anieri-
can exports increased enormously and
Bryan stood before the American peo-
pie as the most disCrcdltcd politician
who ever inIulged in gloomy forecasts
Mr. Bryan seems to have forgotten
these prophecies; at least he has not
reiterated them in the present cam
paisn. but the American people have
rot forgotten them nor the man who
WAS foolish enough to indulge in them

or receiving the most votes go onto
the ballot for the municipal election.
In the case of aldermen as two are to
i've elected annually. four names viii! be
similarly selected for positions on the
ballot at the second election So also
as to school board members.
In connection with the initiative and
referendum the makers of the Haver-
hill charter have Incorporated pro-
vision called the recall. Ii twenty-five
per cent. of the voters so request
through petition, any member of the
council or Of the school board may be
removed at special election unless,
indeed he wins the election. Under
this provision. d man elected mayer OF
Haverhill for the regular term is likely
at any time to be forced to go before
the people again at d special election.
Such an election may be called at
time when the people are excited by
some bunder on the part of really
capable man or are laboring under mis-
apprehension as to the effect of some
measure 70, which he is responsible.
What effect this will have when it
comes To getting the best men to take
municipal ctiicC remains to be seen. 1t
seems TO us to be pernicious in it's prob
able effects 1t makes the official the
possible victim of misunderstanding
and prejudice 1t deprives him of the
assurance that for a fixed term he Is
to have the opportunity to work out ms
ideas and carry out a policy which ne
believes VIII in the end work to the ad-
vantage Of the city. But this prONiS-
Ion of the charter. like various others,
may work differently in practice than
m theory. The proof of the Ha"erhill
pudding will be in the eating. and no
doubt othcr New England cities Will
carefully study the plan in operation
before they hasten to initiate it.
