Editorial
Opinion
Women as Police.

Women as Police.
Kansas City Journal.
Women police is the latest panacea
for the attainment Of ideal civic con-
ditions. The idea emanates, Of course,
from the facile, not to say erratic,
brain OF woman reformer. DIR. Anna
Howard Shaw, president of the Ma
tional Womans Suffrage Association,
informed the students of the Uni
versity Of Minnesota the other day
that all Minneapolis needs to become
a model city is 100 women on Its po-
lice force. "One hundred women
specialists put ON the police force Of
a city would make for Improvement in
civic conditions. The criminal needs
mothering." So say DIR. Shaw. oh.
pshaw! It viii doubtless strike the
ordinary observer that what the
average criminal needs most is father
ing-administered with a strong hand.
The criminal has been mothered al
ready ad nauseam. States and mu-
inequalities vie with each other in cod
ding him. Large sums are spent to
make his cell a boudoir and to save
the poor convict from feeling the
shame of his condition. Free enter
tainments are provided at the tax
payers expense. Saturday half holi-
days are in vogue in penitentlaries. In
all probability the word penitentiary
win be discarded ere long, lest it hurt
the feelings of the thieves. forgers,
perjurers and murderers who are con-
fined in such places.

IN A DENSE HAZE.

h~AOCRATIC newspaper soothsayers who

nu restless over the present state of
AK The public is puzzled by the situation
anC are the soothsayers, who are usually able
10 see through a political stone wall What is
all the fuss about if Rash continues to hold his
seat, and If Allen has nothing but bunch OF
faded flowers to remind him Of the contest? Has
it all been done by this mysterious writ which
has muzzled the mouths of the Democratic
lawyers aud forced them to leave the Demo.
cratic solous in dispair?
The newspaper advisers are inclined to berate
the Democratic Councnlen because they are
exercising inc degree OF patience and are will
ing to wait. The Democratic paper hints that
Democratic Councimen are stultifying them
selves because they do nothing to solve the
mystery Of the writ OF certiorari which has held
NJ proceedings. Rather a reflection on the
Democratic councilmen but we presume thev are
determined not to take chances OF running up
aeainst the courts, and are not to be caupht in
trap that is apparently being set for then, bv
,hc irresponsible and reckless utterances of the
newspaper that one day beseeches them TO re-
spcct the courts and the next day hints al

determined to await developments and are not

This is not the only thing that is irritating
The witnesses and the subpoena servers have
not been paid for their labor. Every Demo-
cratic Councilman was "on the Job" during the
hearing of the testimony, but that over and the

To the witnesses it has been a Barnecde feast

DROVE OFF A
LIVERY TEAM

MILFORD, Del. Aug. sO--The fact
that a man doesn't always have to
own a fast horse TO enjoy its PAGES
was impressed on c. L. w. Williams
when he went to his stable and found
that some one had entered, hitched
up his fast bay mare and driven off.
Inquiries were made at many towns
and finally word arrived that the
horse had been seen passing through
Frederica.
A reward was sent out and officers
in the various towns told to arrest
any one seen with such a horse, when
this morning Williams went to the
stable and found the horse back again
and seemingly none the worse for its
involuntary trip. There is no clew
TO the person who used the animal.

PoIlcina London's streets.


There are fewer mounted men in proper
tion to the force than in New York, and
to say that neither the men nor the
mounts appeared to me as good or attract
ive-looklng as those we have nor are they
used as freely or as advantageousiy, II 1
may be permitted to say it, as in New
York.
1t requires vigilance and activity on the
part Of the pedestrian to cross London
streets in safety. Indeed, In many re-
spects they are even more dangerous than
those of New York. and TO this cond ton
the swarming omnibuscs contribute gem
erously. The tax cab Is rapidly replacing
the hanson and the four-wheoed vehicle.
To my great surprise this Vehicle is run
through the crowded streets at COM
paratively high rate OF speed, and as
there are a great number of them, l am
astonished that there are not more aeci-
dents.

A NEW Jersey MANS IDEA.

~ RESIDENT OF New Jersey has concluded
that many OF the Eastern> States are too
small. lie thinks they should be combined into
smaller number Of great states. He suggests
that Maine and New Hampshire and Vermont
be made one state Rhode Island, Connecticut
and Massachusetts another; Pennsylvania and
New Jersey another ;and Delaware, Maryland and
West Virginia into a fourth New York is to
be lett alone under the scheme. Most residents
OF New Jersey would seriously object to being
attached to Pennsylvania, the Keystone State
already is one OF the largest and most populous
in the country.
AS for Delaware and Maryland and West
Virginia. the New Jersey man had better not
come over here suggesting such a proposition.
Some men during the Civil War thought that
Delaware and the eastern shore OF Maryland
should be made into one, but the scheme never
got very far. Delaware is doing very well as
she is, and she doesn't want to be absorbed by
any other state. We have lived for many years
an independent state and we are prepared to
live for many more years.
Some of the western states, no doubt, would
like TO see the eastern commonwealth COM
bined so that their representation in the United
States Senate would be reduced and it would
not have been surprising had such suggestion
come from a western man. But for an eastern
man to think of such thing. Surely the silly
season affected him. That New Jersey man
had better devote his time to holding singing
contests with mosquitoes. He should not

desire here in our disputes between the counties
