A Quiet Fourth.

The Fourth was quite sanely celebrat-
ed here, but there was no indication that
Young America had forgotten to cele-
brate the day with some noise. 1t is to
be hoped, however, that on July 4, 1910,
some celebration may be arranged that
will cause a proper observance of the
day and at the same time prevent the
undue amount of noise which has been
the only celebration in some past years.
Between nine and 10 o'clock on Monday
evening an alarm was rung from box Al,
which proved false one, and supposed
" rung by children. The ringing of the
tlre alarm always means quite an ex-
pense to the village and when it is rung
unnecessarily it is matter that should
be ferreted out and the error made
prominent enough to ensure the public
against it's repetition.

A NEW POLICE SYSTEM.

Samuel Barlow. chief of police, seems
to have some novel ideas as to the du-
ties of his office. Most extraordinary
lief that the police department is meant
to enforce the laws. On the face of it
that doesn't seem unusual. but it is:
no chief within the past ten years has
undertaken to do things on his own
initiative as Mr.. Barlow has, and none
has made as little fuss about it. 1t has
been the custom, heretofore, when an
offense was committed. for the police
to wait for somebody to swear out
warrant and go through the tedious
routine of an inefficient prosecution by
the city authorities. If one swore out
q warrant the onus Of the evidence was
thrown on him, SO that good citizen
DESTROYS of seeing an abuse corrected
was compelled to sacrifice his time and
convenience doing what ought to have
been done by the police.
Fortunately for the city, Mr.. Barlow
has a different conception of his duty
than his predecessors had. and is doing
things on his own motion. He knew
the slot machines were gambling de-
vices operating in defiance of the law,
and he didn't wait for somebody else TO
swear out a warrant and ask him
please to arrest a gambler. He just
sent word to the slot machine men to
quit-and they quit. Then came the
dice game as substitute for the slot
machine. and he stopped that. No fuss
and feathers, no interviews for the
newspapers, no fireworks, just plain,
sensible discharge Of an official duty, a
gratifying novelty in that department
The new chief came into Office when
his department was in bad shape, and
under conditions that would make a
weak man falter. He has gone right
ahead with his work and organized his
business so that the police department
promises to be one of the best features
of an otherwise inefficient administra-
ton. More power TO him,
