EUROPE's ATTITUDE.

That the United States is a world
power in international politics is recog-
nized these days on all sides, but there
are doubtless many persons, and es-
pecially right at home here, who do not
appreciate the part that this nation
plays in business affairs of the entire
world. Nor it is generally thought in
all probability, on the part of the peo-
pie of this country that the prosperity
of the nations of the earth hinge to a
great degree on the prosperity, or the
lack of it, that prevails in America A
succinct delineation of this fact is
contained in a paragraph of a recent
weekly financial review issued by J. s.
Bache & Co. one of the prominent and
trustworthy banking firms of New York
city, as follows:
"All Europe. with trade depression
nearly everywhere. is waiting for the
American revival But not all Europe
is expecting it soon. In London there

future of American trade. and the hone

TO UTTdZE WASTE POWER.

Serious attention has been given in
recent years to the enormous amount
of power lost in the manufacture of
coke in the beehive oven, and in the
manufacture of pig iron in the blast
furnace. through the escape or i'm
proper use of the waste gases" says
the Iron Trade Review. I'm the pro-
duction of beehive coke. nearly the en-
tire calorific value of the volatile ele-
ments in the coal is lost, while in the
blast furnace, except for the very few
late installations, the excess gas is
either wasted directly. or is but partial
ly utilized by being burned under steam
boilers. In these two cases millions
OF horsepower are going to waste in the
United States. OF course it would be
as idle to attempt to place a definite
money value upon this power as it is to
attempt to estimate the value of water
power which is going to waste. The
United States geological survey, how
ever, has attempted to do the latter.

but to employ it in a useful way.

need be entertained as to a market

into an era of practicing economies in

is pretty well run. aud the utilization
OF the large amount of power now al
lowed to go to waste provides one of

tice of economies

POLICE oFFTC1oUsNEss.

In the action of Judge Pollock of
the federal court in assessing a heavy
fne against a number of police Of
hcers of Junction City for the false
arrest and false Imprisonment of
man whom they took into custody on
their mere suspicion that he had
committed a crime, there ought to be
a good warning to policemen all over
the state, and the entire country for
that matter that they should use a
little discrimination and judgment in
the discharge of their duties. That
they need such warning is patent to
everyone, with the possible exception,
of course, of themselves.
For the most part a good many
policemen are altogether too officious.
AS soon as one of this class gets on
uniform. with tin star on his
breast, gun in his hip pocket and
a club in his right hand, he
becomes a petty tyrant He is

Luckily there are not many police
men of this sort in Topeka. But the
few that there are should be weeded
out Only the other day here there
was a glazing instance of a false ar
rest. They are happening all the time
with more or less frequency. And not
only in Topeka but in every place
where there is a police force. That
such a condition of affairs is tolerated
for an instant is the fault of the peo-
pie, themselves, and especially of
those who are improperly proceeded
against by the inefficient policemen.
Such people have redress in the
courts in the way that Judge Pollock
melted it out to the Junction City
policemen. They also can sue
policeman individually and the city
that employs him in the event of
false arrest for adequate damages and
to which they certainly are entitled.
A few suits of this sort, successfully
prosecuted, is probably all that would
be needed to give some policemen a
proper idea of their power, and par
ticularly of It's extent. If these po-
licemen, who act in such a ridiculous
