1t became known yesterday, through
Health Officer German, that two chill
dren, living in the northwestern section
Of the city. and at whose home a mild

WILL NOT BE PARDoNED.

John r. Walsh, who is serving a
five. wear term in the Leayenworth
prison for the alleged illegal manipula-
ton OF the Chicago National Bank and
allied institutions, will not be granted a
pardon by President Taft. Moreover
there is but slight chance OF his SEN
tence being commuted.
Interest in this conclusion to the
Walsh appeal is increased by the TACT
that it will act as a precedent III the
case OF Charles w. Morse, the New
York financier, who is serving a SEN
tence for similar offense in the Fed
eral prison at Atlanta, Ga.
The reports made in the case Of
Walsh by Federal Judge Anderson, OF
Indiana, and District Attorney Sims, OF
Chicago, have been reviewed by
Attorney General Wickersham, who
will transmit his conclusions to Piesl-
dent Taft soon after the latter's return
from Panama. The attorney general,
it is said, has reached the conclusion
that the pardon Of Walsh by the presl-
dent is out OF the question on the show
ing OF the facts.

ICoMMUNICATED
THE POLICE FORCE.


While the efforts Of the Board OF
Police Commissioners TO bring the
police force OF our city to a state OF
greater efficiency is very commendable,
it is the opinion OF great many OF
our citizens, that instead Of the ex-
penditure OF $500 for a patrol wagon
and the $500 required for its main
tenance, it would be better, after the
installing OF telephone system and
the establishment Of a pension fund
(if feasible plan can be devised), that
any other money the city can afford
to appropriate should be applied to
raising the salaries OF the men en-
ployed on the police force.
While the compensation OF SO many
wage earness and others in the business
branches have been advanced to meet
the great increase in the cost OF living
these men are still receiving wage:
less than helpers and laborers in the
various trades, wage rate that mus'
be totally inadequate to properly
provide for their families.
In the opinion Of the writer and
number OF those with whom he has
conyersed on the subject, it will bt
the duty OF city legislators when con
sidering the raising Of the standard o.
our police department, that the hrs
essential will be to provide a living
rate for its members, instead Of the
very poor salaries BOW paid.

Through his long and distinguished ca
reer as a journalist and publiclst, Mr..
Mclean has established a substantial
reputation as an able man and a loyal
Democrat
Born In Cincinnati about fifty-eight
years ago. OF family of wealth and in
fluenee. he succeeded his father as owner
Of the Enquirer in that city. In New York
and Washington he has been promoter of
great journalistic enterprises.
While never himself holding a public
Office. he has been the maker of govern

He has always been tactful and re-
sourceful and has achieved widespread
and unquestioned popularity
Mr.. McLean's Democracy is of a stall
wart kind.
He stood by Bryan as by Cleveland.
And through all the vicissitudes OF the
party he has kept the faith of the strict

HEARST.

Editorial in Washington Pest November 10
The New York election of Tuesday dis
plays more than ever before the strength
of William r. Hearst with the electors
Of that State and the power OF his per-
sonality and his influence IN political
affairs.
From start to anish. his opposition to
Dix was the only effective opposition of
the campaign
Hearst, and Hearst alone. fought the
fight in the city. and. Notwithstanding
the immense vote of Republican business
men for Dix, the revolt against New Ma
tionaIism, and the resentment OF the "OId
Guard leaders. Dix failed of reaching
Coler's majority by nearly 2o,00O votes.
Mr.. Hearst gave evidence of his sin
certify by accepting the second place
upon the Independence League ticket.
The campaign made by that party was
solely due 10 Mr.. Hearst, and that his
own following was greater than that of
his party is shown by the vote in the
greater city, where he pOlled nearly 1900
votes more than the head of the ticket.
+ His opposition to the Democratic ticket
kept thousands OF Republican voters in
line for Stimson. and his singIe-handed
night through his great newspaper alone
prevented Democratic majority OF more
than 10000 for Dix in the greater city.
His compact following in New York
cannot be ignored by any party in 1912,
and the returns from California, Illinois,
and Massachusetts testify TO the power
of his journals in those States and con-
tiguous territories.
