BOARDS APPROVE
PENSION SYSTEM
VOTE OF ENTIRE STATE NECES.
SARY TO AUTHORIZE METRO
POLlTAN POLICE ANNUITY.

In the campaign of education for
the adoption Of the police benefit
amendment, which is No. / on the
short ballot TO be used by the voters
at the November election, the COM
mittses in charge of the work have
the approval OF the police commits
sioners in the three cities.
Authority to submit the amendment
was granted by the legislature in 1909.
1t proposes merely to give authority
TO establish pensions in St. Louis,
Kansas City and st. Joseph for dis
abled members OF the police force
when injured in the performance Of
| duty. The consent of the state at
large is necessary befOre any n of
the three departments can establish
such a system. But the voters should
bear in mind there is no tax for the
amendment nor will there be even a
cent of expense, not a cent Of taxa
ton. upon the voters that do not live
in the city where the fund is to be
established. There will be no spe-
| cial tax anywhere. Without the con
sent Of the country voters it will be
impossible for the cities to adopt the
system.
No person can come in touch with
the situation and know better the ne
cessity for such protection to the men
who constantly safeguard the city dur
ing all hours of the day than the
members of the boards Of police com
missioners in the , three cities. In
each of them the commissioners have
charge of the police, but can not come
in for any benefits under the proposed
amendment. Consequently their con-
cern for and approval of the amend
ment is based only on the humanita-
rlan side Of the question. In each
Of the three cities the boards not only
have approved the proposed pension
| plan, but they have contributed per-
sonally to the incidental expenses Of
the campaign and have given the
committee the privilege of using their
names as hackers OF the idea in the
campaign.
No one knows better than these
commissioners the dangers to which
the members Of the force are sub
ject. The policeman is exposed to all
kinds Of disease in enforcing the law.
1t is 10 remedy this condition that
the country is called on for support.
Every one wishing to vote for a pen
sion for the police disabled while
protecting the public welfare will vote
Yes" on the nrst amendment. In
order to do this scratch the word
mo" and leave the word Yes stand
as II Is on the ballot.

DEATH RATE LARGE
AMONG POLICEMEN
THREE MISSOURI CITIES MAKE
NO PROVISION FOR THEIR
BRAVE OFFICERS.

There is an average Of at least 100
injuries among the police officers of
st. Louis every year. This means
that practically 100 families are
without a head and proper means Of
support for periods ranging from a
month TO several years. There are
proportionately as many in both Kan
sas City and st. Joseph. But how diff
ferent It would be If these three Mis-
souri, towns were able to put the po-
lice department on some basis that
every officer In 1t would not have to
feel, as he grows old in the service,
that a few more years will stop his
means of livelihood.
Other cities, notably New York,
Boston, Cleveland, Baltimore, make
such provisions. In those cities, when
a police ofhcer-the sentinel to warn
the citizen of danger from the Grim
inal. or the soldier who goes after a
thug who has assaulted some woman
or child-declines in years his spirits
are kept up by the knowledge that,
il he does grow too old to serve longer
the city will grant him a small pen
sion.
But in ST. Louis, Kansas City and
st. Joseph it is different. Conscious
that growing age mean starvation for
his dear ones at home and himself,
the patrolmsn keeps up just as long
as possible, and finally becomes a
physical wreck. He knows that when
he does collapse, he must depend upon
others for what little he can get. How
wrong this is to the brave men thai
are to every city what the soldier in
battle is to the nation.
II makes no difference what the
trouble, it is the officer who is called
for. Whenever a crowd congregatei

SPIDER INSTINCT.
Cutting Web Thread to Escape From
an Intruder

The instinct of the spider is always
'n interesting subject for study. Re-
Gently naturalist placed a small spi
der in the center of large spiders
web some four feet above ground.
The large spider soon rushed from its
hiding place under a leaf to attack the
intruder which ran Up one of the as
cending lines by which the web was
secured 10 the foliage.
The big insect gained rapidly upon
the little one, but the fugitive was
equal to the emergency, for when
barely an inch ahead of the other it
cut with one Of its rear legs the line
behind itself. thus securing its own eS-
cape, the ferocious pursuer falling to
the ground
The naturalist says: 1T is not the
habit of spiders to cut the slender
thread below them when they are as
cending to avoid some threatened dan
ger unless there is a hole close at
hand-and a hole that is known to be
unoccupied.' From this it would seem
that the little creatures action was the
result of some sort of reasoning. In
stinct led it to run away, but it must
have been something more than in
stinct that led 1t to sever the line and
so cut Off the pursuit
The same naturalist says that spi-
derS are cannib9ls and that they are
naturally pugnacious. But they do not
fight for the satisfaction of eating one
another. when two spiders fight

for the attack and the vigorous de

Lords and Commons.

An ancient English custom fOrbids
the participation of a peer in the cleo
ton of a commoner. So that when a
general election is actually in progress
the lords are oratorically muzzled by
a fiction that supposes them to be quite
indifferent to the composition of the
lower house, but until the candidates
have been actually nominated the
peers may use all the eloquence with
which nature has endowed them for or
against the issue involved in the ap'
preaching election.

THACKERAY WAS BORED.
Amusing Incident of the Authors Sec
ond Visit to Boston.

During Thackeray's second visit to
Boston Mr. James T. Fields, his host,
was asked to invite Thackeray to at
tend an evening meeting of scientific
club, which was to be held at the
house Of distinguished member.
l was, said Mr.. Fields, very reluc'
tant to ask him to be present, for /
knew he was easily bored, and l was
fearful that prosy essay or geological
paper might be presented and felt GER
tain that should such be the case he
would be exasperated with me, the in
nocent cause Of his affiiction.
My worst fears were realized. l
dared not look at Thackeray. 1 felt
that his eye was upon me. My dis
tress may be imagined when 1 saw
him rise quite deliberately and make
his exit very noiseessly into a small
anteroom adjoining. The apartment
was dimly lighted, but he knew that
| knew he was there.
Then began series of pantomimic
feats impossible to describe. He threw
an imaginary person-myself, of course
upon the floor and proceeded to stab
him several times with paper folder,
which he caught UP for the purpose.
After disposing Of his victim In this
way he was not satisfied, for the dull
lecture still went on in the other room,
50 he fired all imaginary revolver sew
cral times ut an imaginary head,
The whole thing was inimitably
done | hoped nobody saw it but my
self Years afterward a ponderous,
fat witted young man put the question
