persons who address communications
To the newspapers prefer to sign fic-
titious rather than their real names
to the articles? Even To the best let

and eminently sensible. the writer
modestly avoids credit for his sugges-

This custom is so common as to oc-
casion no comment and is, of course,
proper enough. but reelection will
show that any article loses something
of its value by being subscribed by
any one OF the hundred names famil-

cause the article to be regarded with
suspicion. while a letter of less merit

II therefore. one wishes to advocate
some plan or policy or to suggest some
improvements or urge some reform,
his chance of succeeding by means OF
a communication in the press will be
considerably greater If he attaches his
right name to what he writes.
This does not mean that articles
signed by a pen and accompanied by
the authors real name ought to be

COM MUNICATED
An Englishman Objects to Reference
to Scotland Yard

10 SCotidnd rdrd
The following communication has
been received by The News;
I'm last evenings issue of rgThe
Copper Journal" l noticed a story
under the heading of Scotland Yard"
and being an Englishman, l read it.
Il was amused on persuing it, to
find that the writer stated that, cit
wouldn't be right to intimate that the
London constable was as efficient as
the American constable in the per-
Torrance of his duties" or words to
that effect.
Nov that bluff may do for peo-
pie that don't know the London po-
lice, (who by the way are recognized
as the finest body OF police in the
world, bar none,) and if the writer
of that short story only read the
American magazine, he would learn
that only a very small percentage Of
crime Is traced home and punished in
the United States, compared with that
in England, which justifies the con-
clusion that the London or English
policeman is more alert To his duty
than the American police.
%Concerning the statement that
the English public is more afraid of
the policeman than the American
public" This seems like child's talk.
Were the writer of that article to go
to London and see the way in which
the constable controls the traffic of
the worlds metropolis, his opinions
would suddenly alter. leaving him a
wiser but a "sadder" man."

His first act was to shoot in cold

for the nerve and courage of the
