many radical decisions in cases of
personal liberty.
An election officer started to ar
rest a man who was in the act OF
voting. A bystander, Max Hoch'
slim, whipped the officer and was
arrested and sentenced to three
and a half years. Justice Gaynor
set Hochstim free, saying that any
good citizen would have beaten the
officer because the latter had nc
right to interfere with the voting
of any citizen.
A policeman was charged with
lack of duty because he failed to
raid supposed disorderly house
The case went up to Gaynor.
"The policeman is right said
Gaynor, virtually. Gle might have
suspected the house was disorder
ly, but he didn't know it. And il
he didn't know it he didn't have
any right to go in"
The police tried to close the ia
nous old DRY Dock hotel" by
standing at the door and warning
people away, with threats of ar
rest.
Judge Gaynor made them stor
it. Such visitation was a means
| to graft, he thought.

WHAT'S THIS? POLICEMEN ONLY CITIZENS AND
SERVANTS SA Us MA YOR-ELECT OF NEW YORK
BY w. G. SHEPHERD

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-W. J.
Gaynor, mayor-elect of New York,
is a brand new sort of a mayor, be-
cause he believes that policemen
are only citizens and servants of
the public.
The morning after he was elect
ed mayor | went to talk with him
about his ideas of police govern
ment.
Get out of here! This is a
damnable outrage" he shouted to
Steel, the sketch artist who ac-
companied me. Get out of this
room!"
When l explained that Steel was
only sketching him, he said: "Oh,
well. That's all right. | though
he was taking shorthand notes"
This is written terribly. Slush!
Slush!' he said to me, when l
submitted to him some notes
which had taken of decisions he
had given in police cases.
ut was only written to refresh
your memory regarding your de-
cisions," l explained
"All right" he growled But
reporters write awful slush these
days"
THE men high up in police de-
partments are to blame" he said.
1T isn't the policeman's fault that
the public is imposed upon by of
ficers.
81 held, when | was on the
bench, that a policeman has no
right to arrest a person without a
warrant, unless he himself witness
es the offense.
Every citizen possesses this
same right. But while a citizen
has this right it is not his duty
TO make an arrest. The citizen
does not have time for such work.
1.-THE citizens, therefore, appoint
and pay certain citizens called po-
lice officers to do such work. A
police officer, therefore, is simply
a citizen dressed in blue clothes,
with brass buttons. He has no
more right to interfere with other
citizens than has the citizen who
employs him. He is an honorable
servant of the public.
Excluding cases where the po-
lice know a murder has been com
mitted, suspicion of wrongdoing
is not sufficient. The policeman
must see or hear or know that a
criminal act has been committed
before he may lay hands upon a
citizen.
"A policeman who only thinks
he knows that a wrong has been
committed has no right to enter
any premises, until he has secured
| evidence"
You've said all these things in
decisions" i suggested.
And they're going to be acted
| upon In New York" said Mr.. Gay
nor.
NOW get ii right" he said. 81

DENVER, Nov. 15.-Dear Dad:
Don't make any mistake about the
tariff sentiment in the west. Calf
fornia doesn't like the higher tariff
any better than Illinois. | took
pains to ask a lot of people They
are just as sore in San Francisco
as they are in Chicago; just as hot
at Cannon in Los Angeles as in
Milwaukee. Human nature is much
the same everywhere, and when it
comes to higher tariff taxes, it is
human nature to dislike them
: whether it is California human ma
ture or the breed that flourishes in
the so-called middle west.
i hate to revive such antiquated
slang, but when it comes to lemons
and being handed things, the eX-
perience of the California citrus
growers will excuse any kind of
lapse. The California citrus grow
ers thought they, at least, would
profit by the Aldrich bill. What.
ever might be added to the price of
flannel shirts, there was to be a
higher tariff. hence higher prices,
for their oranges and lemons. Sen
ator Frank Flint told them so. And
then the boss of Senator Frank
Flint, old Mr.. Southern Pacific
Railroad, steps to the front and
raises the freight rate Just enough
to absorb the added price of lem
ons. Now, say-but what's the use?
Yes. Frank Flint is a candidate
for rejection should say reap
pOintment-to the senate. In
California senators are no longer
chosen by the people. There is a
permanent under secretary of Cali
fornia--a man named Herrin-who
Is nominally attorney for the s. p.
railway. He runs the state. He
appoints senators, judges and can
didates for congress, as well as
members OF the state legislature.
He appointed Flint, and Flint is
again a candidate for Herrin's

With 4 theory that human health
is dependent on the stomach and
with medicine which he says proves
this theory, l.. T. Cooper, compar-
atively young man, has built up an
immense following during the past
two years.
Cooper has visited most of the
leading cities of the country, and in
each city has aroused a storm of dis
cussion about his beliefs and his
medicines. Wherever he has gone,
people have called upon him by
thousands, and his preparation has
sold in immense quantities.
The sale of this medicine has now
spread over the entire country, and
is growing enormously each day. In
view of this. the following statement
from one of his many followers is
of general interest
Mr.. George Hyde, for the past 20
years a respected resident OF Ma
