BURGLARIEs AND THE POLICE.

Righteous protests are going up
from the citizens of various sections
of the town over the number of bur-
glaries which have been committed in
their neighborhoods during the past
few weeks. This besDeaks of con-
dition of affairs which is rather novel
for Topeka. For the most part, and
particularly during the past three or
four years the city has been as free
from crime of this sort as is hens
jaw from teeth.
Its sudden transition to a town in
tested with burglars is unusual and
the responsibility for it must properly
belong on the shoulders of the police
force. When the new chief of police
took Office month ago he lost no
time in stating that within a week or
so Topeka would have the best police
force in it's history. He certainly sue
ceeded in changing to a material de-
gree the personnel of what was the
best police force that Topeka had ever
had up until that time Under this
old police force the burglaries COM
planned about were few and far be-
tween. 1t had the reputation all over
this section of the country of being a
police force that enforced ali the laws
and a terror to evil doors. When a
city gets police force with such a
reputation, the crooks that are always
on the go give it wide berth.
But as soon as such an efficient force
is disorganized or reorganized. the
same crooks soon get wind of it, and
they congregate where the picking will
be easy. Perhaps the new chief of
police has not had time to get his
"best police force in the history of
the city, in working order as yet But
if it does not show some symptoms of
doing business before long, the people
will be pardoned for forming the opin-
ion that it is falling far short of the
reputation which has been given it by
its head Actions not words are the
| things that count for most in police
work, rs we'll as in all other lines of
endeavor. Ard if the present wave of
burglary in town is not stopped in
short order a further reorganization of
the police force will be necessity,

THE CALL OF THE HEART.

Oh, my heart is on the moorland.
On the old land, on the poor land,
Where 1t hears the heather calling
ana the gorSe shake with the beei
Oh, it's there I would be lying,
With the clouds above me flying,
A peep of purple sea.
Oh, my heart is on the moorland.
On the old land, on the poor land,
where the gypsy-bands of dreams pitch
camp,
On, it's there 1 would be dreaming,
With the sunset DER me streaming.
With her beside my campfire there
Whose voice still calls to me.
With her, the light-foot maiden.
That little sister to the flowers,
And cousin to the bee:
On, would that We were going
Against the moorwinds blowing
To meet the playmates that she knew,
That child of Faery.
Oh, would that we were sitting
Beneath the wild-fowls fitting,
Her dark eyes looking into mine
As stars look in the sea.
While, dim as autumn weather.
And sweet as scents of heather,
Our campfire trails its smoke OF dreams
Like mists along the lea.
Oh heart there on the moorland.
The old land, and the poor land,
You're breaking for the gypsy love
You nevermore will see:
The little light-foot maiden,
The girl all blossom laden,
Departed with her people
And the dreams that used to be.

THE SHORT BALLOT.

Richard S. Childs. of New York, de-
I1vered an elaborate and equally il
lum1nat1ve address at this years con-
Ventlon OF the American Political
science association on the need of
simplifying the instruments of popular
control of government in this coun
try by means of shorter baIIots-that
is, reducing the number of elective
offices particularly in municipal and
state campaigns. In his conclusion
he dwelt on the success of the short
ballot wherever it has been tried in
these words:
The fact that Great Britain. most
OF Canada and other foreign demo-
cracies recognize the inert clumsiness
OF the electorate and call for only the
simplest popuAlr participation is a
DIG enough difference to account for
their relative success. 1t is the ac-
ceptance of the same principle that
explains the success of the new notion
of governing American cities by small
boards or commissions. And until
our politics is simplified in Difference
to the human limitations of the cleo
torate in our states, counties and cit
les. the American people can never
really control their government.
Many a reformer will disagree with
this, and cite the effective rush to
arms that has been made by the peo-
pie under present conditions on this
or that happy occasion as showing the
people can control now if they want
to, but there is always the relapse as
the reformer himself will confess. On
such occasions, an abnormal condi-
ton of public activity has been
created, usually through the means of
great and costly stimulation. Being
abnormal it cannot persist indefinite
