HAZARD Of SOLDIER
LESS THAN POLICE
OFFICER SAVES cHlLDREN's
LIVES, BUT is ELEcTRocUTEp
FOR HIS BRAVERY.

When a soldier or officer in the
United states army is disabled or
killed as a result Of service, he or his
family receives a pension from the
government Every true American be-
lieves this is proper.
But when a police officer in ST.
Louis, Kansas City or St. Joseph is
disabled to the extent that he a no
longer serve on the force, even
though his injuries were due to the
bravest and most meritorious act in
defense Of public safety, he must beg
or depend upon charity. Is this right?
The soldier faces danger when in
battle, but the policeman faces it ev-
cry moment Of his life. His duties are
general, and no matter what the
trouble he must face 1t from the first
alarm until peace is restored.
On September 20, 1906, the young
children in a crowded part Of st.
Louis were going home from school.
Childlike, they were surging all over
the pavement, needless of danger.
Unmindful of a fallen live" electric
wire on the pavement in front Of 4S11
Hunt avenue. the children were care.
lessly approaching the danger. Off
Ger Humphrey o'Leary, in the prime
Of life, rs, was standing across the
street, The officer saw the wire
meant death to several children un.
less it was moved at once. Running
across the street, O'Leary headed off
the children and tried to keep them
back, but, childlike, they crowded
forward. Realizing that some Of the
children would be killed, the officer
deliberately knocked the wire into
the street with his stick, thinking he
could better stand the charge than the
children, AS he did this the charge
knocked him to the pavement, a dead
man. The officer saved the lives of
no telling how many children, but sac.
riiced his W while on duty.
And yet the young wife and baby
of O'Leary can not be provided for
as the wife and child of a soldier
would be, and the act Of the father
was Just as brave as any patriot could
perform.
Is there a mar in Missouri who
thinks the force Of men who are sub.
ject to dangers of this kind, and who
will meet them, is not worthy OF a
pension when injured?
Authority to establish the pension
is to be submitted by constitutional
amendment in November. The amend
ment will be No. l on the short bal.
and every patriot should vote for
1t, There will be no tax on anyone
not living In the city where the pen.
sion system is adopted.

CONTROL
PROPOSED PENSION
AMENDMENT HAS SANCTION OF
POLICE BOARDS AND THINK
ERS IN TOWNS.

For several years the police in st.
Louis have maintained a mutual pen
sion system, but because the mag
ment Is not especially provided for in
q constitutional and legal way 1t has
not proved as satisfactory as it
should. 1t is the duty Of the state to
authorize the three large cities to es-
tablish and maintain a system under
the careful eye of its financial Off
cials. The cost to the voters is moth.
ing. Although the voters In the coun.
try are not in the least concerned In
the system, the pension system can
not be established without their con.
sent.
The demand upon the voters for
this consent is made by them for the
departments in st. Louis, Kansas City
and st. Joseph and by the boards and
citizens of the three towns in touch
with the situation. Already the fire.
men in Missouri have been granted
the necessary permission to maintain
this fund.
AS the fremen's fund has the sane
tion Of the state, and is under the care
of a special board of whom the fnan.
cial officials of the city are members,
there is a safety check that inspires
the donors. They know that the fund
is well managed. It is to secure the
peoples consent to establish a similar
fund that amendment No. / is submit
ted to the voters In November. This
amendment is the first one on the
short ballot, and should be cast ia
vo-ably on the amendment that heads
the list. Every voter should scratch
the word No and leave the word
Yes" unscratched.
There can be no such thing as a
raid on the treasury as the result Of
the adoption Of the amendment. for
the establishment of rules ana regu-
lations is left to the city government.
And the city government will do moth
ing to injure itself.
In TACT, never more than n police
officer in fifty will have to re-
ceive assistance, The amendment is
intended as an assistance to those po-
lice officers who, while on duty, are
critically injured or manned for life.
The amendment carries the indorse.
ment Of the police boards of each of
the citles-and they can not benefit
by it-and of all persons in the cities
in touch with the way in which east
ern cities provide a pension system
for The policemen. The amendment
is SO apparently m%eritorious that there
should be no votes cast against It.

Hardly had the fanaticism of
Anti-Masonry died out than the
fanaticism of Known othingism
came in. 1t was heralded and
organized by adventurer of the
name of Judson, who went by the
pen name of Ned Buntline. The
official title he gave it was the
Native American party. To its
opposition to foreigners it added
opposition 10 Catholics. 1t was
a Secret Society. To all inquir-
les from the outside its lodge
members were required to an

Thus it came the Know-N Nothing
party.
The Know-Nothing flourished
for a few years. They were
years of hatred and malace, not
unmixed with crime. In New

there were brutal anti-foreign

was Bloody Monday.
