THE POLICE AND STREET
,rIsAEEsfE

We have called attention recently
several times to the congested condi-
ton of some OF our pivotal" thor
oughfares In which large building OPP
erations are In progress, and have
suggested that the police commission
ers should relieve the situation by re-
curing wagons and other vehicles
to move In the same direction. One
of the commissioners said yesterday
that this was unquestionably thing
that should be done: but that, with
out authority from City Council, the
commissioners were without power to
do a thing that ought to be done.
This commissioner had Just returned
home after visit to the largest cities
up North and said that he found the
arrangements in the streets there so
excellent that there was no Interrupt
ton of traffic, the police authorities
having power to manage the streets
for the benefit of the public
At its meeting tomorrow night
City Council should pass an ordinance

RoLFE, THE COMMENTATOR.

There was tinge Of the Middle
Thursday at Vineyard Haven at the
ripe old age of eighty-three. Born
in New England and educated at AM
herst, he taught boys from his youth,
and was one of the best known COM
mentators Of the country. He lived in
the throbbing nineteenth century; he
knew Tennyson and Lowell and talked
often with them. but in his painstak-
ing, accurate and exhaustive common
taries on other writers he showed that
same spirit which kept the old monks
at their desks. adding comment on
comment to the grabbed text of ST.
Jerome.
Rolfe was not of creative literary
mind and wrote little that was original;
but he had that lasting love of letters
that made study joy to him, even un-
to the end. To him poetry was like
vine and in the limpid measures of
Tennyson or the measured cadence of
Shakespeare he found an intellectual
stimulus that compelled him to read
through the years with pleasure that
never failed Those who knew him
best said that he had the rare ability
to divine the mind OF the author whom
he studied, and could tell how poet
would turn his thought or round his

THE COUNCIL AND THE PEOPLE.


City Council will deal tomorrow
night with the noise problem in this
town. 1t is expected. at least 1t is
hoped, that an ordinance will be
passed requiring the owners of auto
mobiles to furnish their cars with sig
nal horns of similar note. that chill
dren and immature persons VIII be
forbidden TO drive the cars, and that
curfew shall ring every night al IL
o'clock for all automobiles in the city.
All these things should be provided by
ordinance and the penalties should be
severe enough to make obedience to
the law worth while.
We protest that the city is made
for the people who do not make a
noise as Well as for those who do, for
the man who walks as well as for the
man who rides in an automobile, for
the people who want to sleep at night
as we'll as for the people who turn
night into day, and who think that
they own the town because the town
has never told them that they do not.

THE SHAME OF ENGLAND.

Bishop Charles II. Brent, of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the
Philippines, is trying to interest the
nations in another opiumN conference.
AT his suggestion. the United States
has invited the Great Powers to meet
at The Hague and to discuss the ques-
tion of prohibiting the sale and ship
ment of opium all over the world.
Most of the civilized countries of the
globe have been quick to accept the
invitation of this Government, and
have appointed delegates to meet at
The Hague. Great Britain stands
aloof and Bishop Brent Is now in Lon
don trying to influence the Foreign
Office to appoint delegates.
Bishop Brent has already done g
great deal for this work, and 1t was
largely through his efforts that the
Shanghai conference was called last
year but he met then with the same
opposition from Great Britain that
confronts him now. English represent
tatives at the conference were In
structed to express their sympathies
evil, and were told to say that the
English Government wished the con-
ference well, but they were not per-
mitted to approve any definite resolu-
trade. If we recall correctly they did
not" even sign the recommendations
made by the other delegates to their
respective countries.
was probably not surprised at Eng
lands refusal to cooperate then, and
he probably expected a cool reception
at st. James on his present visit, be-
cause he has read England's history
and knows that the greatest disgrace
in all the annals Of that nation is its
promotion OF the opium industry. For
a century. at least. England has
thrown herself against the sentiment
of the civilized world, and has insist
ed on sending opium to ruin China be-
cause the trade was profitable to In
dia She waged a war for the right
to sell poison to the helpless Chinese
and her victory put an eternal curse
on the whole Celestial Empire The
Chinese authorities are now nghting
the opium evil with all their strength,
and other nations are aiding them,
but England stands for the traffic, and
nothing that the nations can do will
shake her determination to sell opium
| and profit from the sale.
This is a remarkable commentary
upon civilization. England = the

ence, the stronghold of the Church

THIS LOOKS LIKE WILSON.

Woodrow Wilson will be nominated
for Governor of New Jersey by the
Democrats and will be elected by the
whole body of the people. His election
to be Governor will at least lay him
under suspicion as an available can
didate for President in 1912. The
story comes from New York that a
combination has been formed in that
town for the purpose of pressing him
for the Democratic nomination. A
good deal will depend. of course, on
whether or not he catch the New
Jersey hare. That would be one step
towards the more ambitious plans his
friends and supporters are said to
have in view.
There is no doubt that Dr..
Wilson is one of the strongest
men in semi-public life to-day
His success in the administration Of
the great University of which he is
the head has been remarkable. He has
made a great many public addresses
to all sorts of audiences on all sorts

RECENT EVENTS NOTED
At ANDREWS.
DWELLING DESTROYED BY FIRE-PROF
ITS In ROG RAlSIEG-BLIND
TIGERS RAMPANT.


Andrews. February 14:-On
Sunday, the 9th inst, about l
p m, the dwelling of Mr. H
Barnes, of East Andrews, caught
fire from the chimney and was
destroyed. The house was fall
ing in before the fire was dis
covered, all the family being
at dinner. Mr Barnes lost
all of his furniture. The house
was owned by the A G L Corp.
The total loss amounted to 5000
or $4,000. This is the second
fire to occur here within the
last 60 days. We presume the
owners of the building were
protected by insurance, but the
contents were a total loss.
Mr. G W Camlin, of this place,
sold one day this week eight
pigs, dressed, being about six
months olu, which brought him
$4,000; also Mr. l. A Rogerson
sold four for $40. The butchers
buy the hogs right off your
farm and there is more money
in raising hogs for market than
in raising cotton even at 10
cents. Combine stock.raiSing
with farming, get the improved
breeds, and you will succeed.
The police force of Andrews
have been making it hard for
the blind tigers the past week,
having made six or eHt ar
rests and seized quite a lot Of
contrabrand whiskey and beer.
Fines of S25 to $50 were laid on
the unfortunate blind tigers by
Intendent Davis last Saturday
afternoon. Policeman Hopkins
arrested a negro in West End
with twenty.tour bottles Of
whiskey IN basket. He was
peddllng the stuff for a negro
woman who lives at East End.
This case will be heard before
the mayor today at II o'clock.
Fifty dollars more, or the coun-
ty chaingang will have another
road hand. If the people here
will hold up the hands of Hon
& G Davis in dealing with the
blind tigers, the selling of wnis-
ky will only profit the town
treasurer and go to build
streets instead of gong into
the pockets of the law-breakers.
1t is a crying shame to every
civilized community for whisky
t. be sold as it has been in this
town FOR the past sixty days,
and they are not all negroes
who are doing this selling either.
The police have some cases
against white men, also. The
blind tiger business is the worst
form of selling whisky. They
will even sell this deadly poison
to childlen. The negroes are
being furnished with whisky to
be sold on commission for white
people. Ihope the town coun-
Gil will never stop their raiding
until they break up the last
whisky den. Keep the good
work going on.
