a wise one. Congress should not en-

ing minimum rates for the railroads
which compete with the available
waterways of the United States with
out a full understanding of all the
causes of the regretable abandonment
of the inland waterways
One potes cause has been their in
ability In a great part of the country
to give continuous service. as in the
coasting trade. the railroads are
forced TO acknowledge the presence
of competitor too pc werful for them
to destroy except by putting down
their rates to a point which would be
ruinous to themselves.

Der of arrests since the policy was
introduced. This is the least number
of persons arrested in any month during
the last twenty-five years, and arrests
had been increasing each year
Meanwhile we have entirely done
away with the matchmaking profess
sionai bondsmen, who have made
money out of the unfortunates placed
in prison before the proper inquiry into
their cases, which is general under the
old plan.
AS / predicted, the shyster police
court lawyer and the tricky pretend
ing politicians, together. with the black
mailing bondsrnen, have been loud in
their protests against the golden rule
policy, because it deprived them or
their source OF revenue and political
following; but we are about free from
them now.
Police repression has accomplished
great things for the city of Cleveland
and It's population, and all without any
new legislation; nor would any new
legislation be necessary to carry this
policy into general effect throughout

Don't Arrest Drunks or Children,
but Lead Them to Their
Homes.

I'm CLEVELAND, o., when a police
man finds a mar intoxicated on
the street he doesn't batter in his
head, polish the pavement with his
clothes, black his eye and pitch him
into jail. What the policeman does is
to look the erring brother over, decide
if he is dangerous or not and if he isn't
he Is sent home. If he seems to need
medical attention he is sent to a hos
pital.
When a policeman comes Upon a
scene of isticuffs he doesn't wade in
with his club, pound the fight out of
the combatants and then ring for a
patrol. He separates the fighters, sat
isles himself that no great harm has
peer done, speaks a few friendly words
of advice and sends the renewed
friends rejoicing on their way.
When a policeman catches a boy
swimming off the dock or trying his
slingshot on an electric lamp he doesn't
pour profanity on his young head,
wiring his neck and send him to the
police court. If the offense seems Sc
rious enough the officer holds the boy
until his parents come and the young
ster is turned over to the mercies of a
maternal slipper.
These illustrate what Fred Kohler,
C~leveland's chief of police, calls the

they are, into the Very fibre of mems
minds-are hard to break. sBut we have
broken the custom of the world and the
ages in Cleveland. "
'.Finely we determined that the fol-
lowing considerations should govern
our actions.
"First-Juveniles were never to be
placed in prison. They were to be
taken home or The parents sent for and
the child turned over TO them for pa
rental correction.
"Second-The members of the force
were to use their kindly efforts in cas-
ing the friction and il1-temper between
man and man Wherever and whenever
it made itself manifest.
"Third-Oficers should have sufficient
evidence OF a competent character to
obtain conviction before eve consider
ing the imprisonment of a person on
any charge whatever.
.'Fourth-Any apparent violators who
were not known to be OF good character
and reputation were to be accompanied
to the precinct station, where the mat
ter would be carefully inquired into by
the officer in charge, and the proper
action, as specified by the common
st=se policy, taken.
"on January l 1868 the policy went
into effect. Immediately gratifying re-
