Annual Report Compiled by Philip
Bloch, Secretary of Board OF Mag

to Be Infreauent ORender-40,52s
Have Appeared in Night Court.

New York, Jan 30.-That the native
born is the man that keeps the policeman
busy is the conclusion reached by Philip
Bloch. secretary Of the board OF city mag
istrates. in collating the statistics for
1905 for his annual report 10 that board.
He finds that the native born American
Is the one who figures in the police annals
out OF all proportion TO the men Of other
nationalitles and that, contrary 20 recent
statements OF wide publication, the jew
is comparatively speaking an infrequent
offender. Mr. Bloch further states that
his experience OF many years as secretary
to the board Of city magistrates has con-
vinced him that the Jew ordinarily gets
10 court because OF the violation OF some
city ordinance, and very rarely because
ne has broken the law OF the land
There are eight day courts and one
night court in the city, which are served
by fifteen magistrates. One magisterial
place is now vacant. as Magistrate Otto
Droege was recently forced 20 step down
| by the appellate court The night court
/ is the one which centers attention usual
/ ly, and has been featured by newspaper
/ and magazine writer's. but the day courts
grind out a tremendous amount Of busi-
ness.
Thousands in the Courts.
Mr. Bloch's forthcoming report will
show that during the year 1905 there were
Z7.S23 men and 1s.2U women before the
night court making total OF 4s.523 per
sons. This item is OF slight importance,

made. Of the 1880 persons who appeared

BE LOYAL TO FIRST PRINCIPLES

Banks, and the creation of Nation
al Highways Commission, are all
progressive measures that the Grange
is urging, and such action is what
counts, they are doing things, and
that is what gives this organization
cohesion. The American Society of
Equity must act along these lines,
not in competition with the Patrons
of Husbandry, but in Cooperation
with them to make itself a benefact-
or not only TO its members, but to
those who are still holding aloof,
contemplating membership, and to
all classes of toilers and creators Of
wealth. The Grange is at present
actively engaged in getting blouse
Bill No. 1887, introduced by Hon
Frank D. Currier, of New Hamp-
shire, providing for the creation of
National Highways Commission,
and for appropriations by CONGRESS
for the improvement and mainten
ance CT the public roads" To give
this measure publicity, they are en-
deavoring to get in touch with pub
lie spirited men all over the country,
in order to educate those who will
eventually become the benehciaries
of these magnificent utilities.
Postal Savings Banks are urged
upon the attention of Congress by
President Taft, and little co-opera-
ton on the part of organized wealth
producers will give this measure, as
we'll as all other economic measures,
a prestige that our representatives
in Congress dare not ignore. 1t is
the duty Of the A. S. of E. to urge
this matter on the rostrum, through
their press, and by circular printed
matter scattered broadcast over the
land. The benefits to farmers from
the measures already wrested from
an unwilling Congress by the Grange
and kindred organizations, cannot
be measured in dollars and cents.

Larry B. Everett, a prominent
citizen of Madrid Bend KY. was on
our streets last Saturday. When
asked about the levee on his side of
the river. he explained that II is
completed from the high ground
near the Upper Slough Landing. IS
miles above our city, up to the
high land at Hickman. and is rs
miles long. He gave II as his opin-

built, will not raise the height of the
