police department of Baltimore is the proud
record of Thomas +. Farnan, Marshal of Police
of the Maryland city. The commissioners have
presented him a golden wreath inclosing the
embroidered number "43' to be worn on his
sleeve. The record of Chief Farnan is described
as spotless and this is something remarkable
1t means that during his long years of service
the policeman has never broken one of the many
rules governing the department; that he has
never been late at roll call; never reported for
roll call without his equipment, badge, revolver
promptly for every duty. No wonder Marshal
Farnan is the envy of his fellows of the police
department and that he is receiving deserved
congratulations. How many persons in police
service or any other service could show such a
record?

and the early part of 1908. have
been regained, and while employ
inent is by no means so easily
found, and it may be that wages
are slightly less than In the food
tide Of 1907, on the whole condi-
tions affecting the trades may be
said to be IN shape fully as sat
isfactory as at any time in the in
dustrial history Of the State.
Chapter ~, miscellaneous fac
tories, says that general indlca-
tions show that the factories are
rapidly being put on a substantial
basis that is, show an absence of
mushroom growth, or what is
commonly called schemes. I"
Few new factories are reported,
but, on the whole, conditions may
be said to represent stable pro-
gress, sufficiently rapid to show
growth but at the same time at
rate that would seem to indicate
only the meeting of a demand that
may reasonably be expected to be
permanent.
Chapter v, covering cotton,
woolen, silk and knitting mills,
gives general conditions, and
much detail information.
Chapter vi, covering furniture

The furniture manufacturing
interests represent quiet, but at
the same time an important and

great inroads are being made on

shipman's S Report.

The Chronicle has received
from Commissioners M. L. Ship
man a copy of the 23rd annual
report Of the Bureau of Labor
and Printing. The form of the
report has been changed in some
respects and in our opinion, for
the better. The department con-
fined to the opinions of peo-
pie here and there oyer the state
is omitted. The ; objection to
this was, in the main the ex-
ira expense it entailed in the
publication of the report. The
report is also otherwise improv-
ed. It's table of contents is COW
cred by information on farms and
farm labor, wages of farm hands
and cost of production of farm
products, condition of the trades,
miscellaneous factories and in
dustries, cotton, wooden and silk
furniture factories, newspaper
statistics, and railroad employees
and wages. The classified list of
the factories appears to be more
than usually complete and is a
convenient feature of the book.
On the whole, Mr.. Shipman is to
be congratulated upon the char
acter of This work. Charlotte
