FORTY YEARS A POLICEMAN
Chief of Brooklyn Force Accumulated
Quarter Million

Colorado Springs. Col, Oct 81 p.
II. Mclaughlin, former chief of police
of Brooklyn, and later deputy chief in
Greater New York, died in a sanitar-
um here today from heart disease.
Patrick II. Mclaughlin was for for
ty years policeman in Brooklyn and
was for a time in command of the
force there. 1t was over him that
the late Hugh Mclaughlin then the
Democratic boss" of Kings county.
had his picturesque row with Chief
William S. Devery. Although re-
garded as perhaps the wealthiest po-
liceman in Brooklyn, Mr. Mclaughlin
always enjoyed a reputation for strict
honesty and it was generally known
that he accumulated a fortune suppos-
ed to amount to something more than
$3.50, 600 through close saving and for
tunate speculation in real estate dur
ing a boom time in the Bedford dis
trict.

large sum Of money from the public
Golfers a comparatively few indlvid-

importance OF the west will be en-
HANGED to some degree because a con-
siderable area Of waste land will be
made productive.
This is merely the latest, not the
only, instance Of invaluable aid given
by the federal government to the west
in recent years. II is. cited solely to
show that the material Interests Of the
great region known as the west" are
not being neglected. The Bee was
n of the earliest advocates Of federal
aid and control in the irrigation work
needed to restore to usefulness the
wide stretches of arid land in the
west. 1t met at the outset opposition
on the score that the proposal
amounted to the enrichment of one
section Of the country at the expense
of another. This narrow view has
been d~issipated by experience. which
has proven that, as expressed by Mr..
Taft in his speech at Boston, the ma
tion is only prosperous when all the
sections prosper. The object lesson
Of today is that the government Of the
United States is for all sections of the
United States and for all It's people
and not for any favored part of the
country. This applies as to tariff
laws and all other laws, to reclamation
work, to conservation plans and to
every activity and function of govern

Rscsntion Of Winonn snssnh.

The varied reception accorded Mr..
Tsft's Winona speech. %re-dehning the
reasons that lmpelled him to sign the
tariff bill, Is what was naturally to
have been expected from such a pro-
"nouncement. The viewpoint OF the
different newspapers throughout the
country on the speech is substantially
the same viewpoint taken by them on
the tariff bill in the making and on
the explanatory statement with which
the president accompanied his APP
prevail Of the measure. Yet even the
papers that take issue with him on the
question OF the propriety or expe-
diency Of his remarks applaud him for
displaying the courage Of his convic-
lions and for the frankness or the
holiness, as they may prefer to call It,
with which he has undertaken to de-
fend the new tariff in the heart OF the
insurgents country as the best we
have had.
II goes without saying that the law
" ~ AchAu o. BANCS Oh Nv oNatuNV
by virtue of the presidents signature
would be upheld and not ~assailed by
him and that he could not we'll Justify
his position without, in some degree,
manifesting disapproval of the action
of the insurgent senators and repre-
sentatives who voted against the bill.
The chief criticism Of the Winona
speech has therefore to do with that
part in which the president deals with
the attitude Of the insurgents. Some
OF the radicals on the republican side
and many Of the democratic organs
profess to read the presidents speech
as ejecting the insurgents from tho
republican party, when that was
far from his purpose, particu-
as he con%gratulates them for n
nouncing their intention to work for
further reductions within the republi-
can party rather than join the demo-
Gratis outside Of Il.
What the presidents language was
evidently intended to convey was that
he, as the head of the republican
party, would work with the party as
a whole and as represented by the
majority rather than the minority,
and that those who believe in the pro-
tariff, even though dissatisfied
with the new law, could expect still
response to their wishes from a
democratic tariff bill framed in re-
pudiation of the protective principle
and in complete disregard of our in
dustrial needs.
AS a whole, public sentiment, as
voiced by the press, appears to be
with the president and the
stand he has taken may be expected
to solidify that sentiment.

A Fiscal Program.


Among other things that the city Of
Omaha should have right now is a ifs
cal program. Our city is Just entering
upon a new period OF growth and ex-
pansion which will require, within the
next few years, a large expenditure Of
public money for permanent improve
ments in the form OF public works,
municipal buildings, streets, boule-
Yards and parks, TO say nothing Of the
acquisition of the water works plant
and making it meet the enlarged de-
mands upon 1t. To finance these vari-
Gus projects will require a lot of figur-
time to time as the money may be re-
quired.
But a city's credit, like that OF a
private corporation or individual, has
limits. and money spent for one thing
cannot be available for another. A
fiscal program which would start out
with an inventory of the financial
drafts which are liable to be made on
uS III tue present anu near future, ana
ar estimate OF their relative impor-
lance and urgency so that they may be
taken up In their order without inter-
fering with n another, and compli-
eating the whole situation, is not only
desirable. but almost imperative.
Unfortunately the initiative and re-
sponsibility for different classes OF
public improvements are lodged with
different municipal authorities who
have ordinarily worked entirely indie
pendent OF one another. 1t seems to
US, however, that the time has come
for some coordination and co-opera-
ton between these bodies. Voting
bonds each yea for this, or for that,
is like a hand-to-mouth policy, and
neither gives us an adequate idea Of
what is yet to be done nor OF the goal
to which we are working. The builder
wants the architects plans and speci-
fcations before he borrows none to
pay subContractors, and to the same
end Omaha needs a fiscal program,
even though subject to modification as
changing circumstances may require.

The Government and the west.

In spite of occasional clsmor to the
effect that the great interests OF the
west are being neglected by the. fed
feral government there comes now and
then a full note of appreciation for the
authorities at Washington. One Of
these will be heard from Colorado to-
day, when President Taft will turn
on the water in the great Gunnison
tunnel and send a life-giving food
down the U~ncompahgre valley.
This enterprise, which consists of
building a watercourse $4,000 feet
long, nearly all Of which was tunneled
through the living granite OF the cen
trail range Of the Rocky mountains
and which will divert the waters of
the Gunnison river from the Black
