Diverse Reflections
By Erid.

The Golden Rule" system in
vogue in Cleveland is evidently a
practical advancing of what theorists
have advanced for decades. The
felt but unexpressed opposition to
the police of large cities is no doubt
due to the self-importance visible in
some policemen owing to authority
conferred upon them. Officers of
the law are entitled to respect, but
being superior to citizens in author
lty it becomes them to assume an
attitude which is conducive to secur-
ing due respect. The Colder
Rule" system is evidently just what
is required in all places and the ad-
vanced system of the Cleveland
police force is worthy Of general
admiration and adoption.

SERVES SENTENCE
; BEFORE HIS TRIAL
But Prisoner May Not Get
Liberty; Prosecution
Appeals.

1t is pleasant to be sentenced when
you have already served the time of the
sentence, and thus go free at conviction.
But it is unpleasant to have the case
appealed by the prosecution, because
of the short sentence.
Both of those peculiar legal and jul
dicial occurrences are true in the case
of Javicer Sanchez, charged in the
JuareZ federal court with burglar
and robbery committed last year in FL
Paso-
After a trial of nine months, Sanchez
was convicted this week in the Mexican
court. He was sentenced to serve only
the length Of time he had already spent
in jail awaiting completion Of the trial
That was easy! from an American point
of view, too easy
prosecution, while American attorneys
for the prosecution always are salts
fled with conviction Of any sort The
states attorney appealed the case to
the circuit court of Mexico City on the
grounds that the sentence was not suf-
ficient for the crime.
1t was on the night of August 30,
1909, that somebody reached through
the window of a room jim the Krahmer
! hotel on San Francisco street, and
rifled the clothing of Francisco J. Lam
/ da, inspector of customs at Juayman,
Mexico, who was passing through on
his way to the City of Mexico. The
burglar-thief thief-secured S455
in Mexican currency. representing
the officials salary for q long time,
and a gold watch.
On the following day Sanchez was ar
rested. He had $50 In cash and a watch,
identified by Landa. Court officials
say that the man finally confessed, but
no more of the money was recovered.
1t is believed that an accomplice assist
ed in the burglary.

LINCOLN AND DOUGLAS.

February II, the birthday of
Abraham Lincoln and Frederick
Douglas is fast approaching.
Arrangements are now under
way by Negro organizations aud
churches throughout the country
for commemorating the birthday
of the great liberator, but little
or no preparations are being
made to celebrate at the same
time the birthday of the mighty
Negro abolltionist. While this
is an oversight, it is equally
short sighted for Negroes to for
get their valiant champion who
filled the breach in the days that
tried mems souls. Frederick
Dougas was placed on pedes-
tai by the advocates of freedom
who pointed to him as type of
the liberated black man. Most
worthlly did he fill his mission,
He thuudered in most authora
tive denunciations against the
mOnstrouS crime of slavery. For
Frederick Douglas to speak was
for thousands to be attracted to
him and for most of them to be
converted to his cause. He was
every where declared to be the
man raised up by God to lead his
people into the promised land.
The Negroes of this country
should make February II not
Lincoln Day but Lincoln and
Douglas Day There still rests
against he home a mortgag e of
over $1,000. Collections might
well be taken on Lincoln and

paying this. 1t is 70 be desired
that the race should do this as a

above all, February - should be
celebrated as the birthday of
Frederick Douglas as well as
that of Abraham Lincoln.-NeW
