Lessons of Other Cities.
other cities are teaching Washing
ton lesson. Take Cleveland. for ex-
ample IN January, February, and
March, 1907, there were 7,126 arrests
in Cleveland. In the same months for
the present year there were 1888, or
one-hfth of the previous number. In
Cleveland and elsewhere they are
learning that police efficiency and the
respecting character of a COM
munity is not Increased by the num-
Der of arrests. In Cleveland only those
persons are taken TO court whose Of
lenses warrant punishment They have
learned in that city that when a man
IS arrested and dismissed by the court
the authorities have accomplished
more harm than good. They have dealt
wrongly with a citizen.
In Cleveland they are learning that
the machinery of the Police Court op-
crates with greater benefit to the COM
munity when it is not clogged with al
most numberless cases of a most trivial
nature. Would IL not be wise TO learn
the same lesson In the National Cap
ital?
Who VIII Offer a Remedy
Perhaps there is a belief among the
members of the force that promotion
is more certain when an ofncer has a
large number of arrests to his credit
Perhaps there is an undue desire to
swell the amount OF fines IN the Po-
lice Court Perhaps the police au-
thorities are behind the times In deal
ing with the great problem of munic-
ipal control. There are many other
grounds for wondering why. in WASH
ington, an average of ONE PERSON
IN EVERY TEN should be arrested.
There is no getting away. however.
from the fact, There is also no dis
guising the truth that there IS much
complaint in Washington regarding
the number of people who are COM
PEELED TO go to the statfon-house or
the Police Court on charges of the most
trivial nature.
Is the system wrongs Is the police
administration at fault. Who or what

THE WASHINGTON HERALD asks
these questions. What is the answer9
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1910-06-06

Rev. DR. William T. Manning. pastor of
Trinity Church. New York. yesterday
afternoon preached the baccalaureate
sermon to the graduating class of the
National Cathedral School for Boys in
the Cathedral Close
He took the phrase. Grow IN grace. :"
as the essence Of his text and declared
the word gracB is the keynote and
watchword of religion.
Stands for Supernatural.
1t stands for the supernatural. that
which is God, not Of ourselves" said
Or. Manning. 1T IS weakness and cow
ardice to speak OF that word supernatural
as though It need some explaining away.
Grace in its significance recognizes the
truth Of the life beyond this one in which
We as Christians believe.
The church is the organ of our Lords
life and presence here In this world, and
the agency through which he still works
upon this generation. The means Of
grace are the divinely appointed chan
nels through which the spirit OF God
flows into our life.
The Christian should be not only the
best man but also the strongest man in
a community. We have been in danger
Of accomplishing the feminine side
Of Christian life. We see this IN some
ecclesiastical art. We see pictures of the
saints which are not representative OF
Christian strength. / think that is I'M
just TO the saints. They were not effemi-
nate people. We Christians are here TO
challenge all things in this world"

OF his most amusing stories. stories which
had to do with the misadventures Of
Yankees marOOned in the Central Ameri-
can republics. He tried TO raise bananas,
but ii took too long for them to grow, so
he drifted back to Texas and got a lob
in drug store drawing soda water. Two
weeks OF that satisfied him, and he moved
to New Orleans and took up literary work
In earnest. He sent stories TO newspapers
and weekly and monthly magazines all
over the country. He used to say that
no author ever ought to be disappointed
because his stories were returned. because
he had had more returned perhaps than
any writer of the time.
Take the Emancipation OF Billy"
o. Henry told a friend several years ago,
1T was thrown back at me no less than
thirteen times. and it is as good a story
as / ever wrote"
Got IL Cents a Word.
He drifted around the country for
year or two, selling a story now and
then for a tenth of what he got In after
years. and finally landed in New York In
1901. Gilman Hall, then the editor of
Ainslee's, liked Porter's work and offered
him 81, 200 for a series of twelve stories.
His name had little market value then,
but In a few years he was getting u
cents word for all he could write.
A collection of his stories, which had
attention, was published In
book form in 1905 under the title Cab
bages and Kings" THE Four Million"
came out the next year, THE Trimmed
Lamp" in 1907. and The Heart of the
West" toward the end of the same year.
The most recent Of his stories which at
tracted wide attention and made people
laugh, were in a series which o. Henry
called Manhattan Nights Entertain
ment." The scenes were laid in New
York, and the characters moved about
tho city seeking adventure. as the people
Of tho Arabian Nights" did in Bagdad.
When somebody said to him once that
lie knew his New York, o. Henry re-
piled:
They say I know New York well?
Just change Twenty-third street in one
Of my New York stories 10 Main street.

EncycIicaI Was FaIsined.

Rome, June 5.-The indignation aroused
among German Protestants by the re-
cent encyclical issued by the Pope on
the occasion Of the tereenniaI of the
canonization of St. Charles Borromeo
has led to the publication by clerical
newspa pers here of the assertion that the
text of the encyclical published In Ger

greatly from the original.

the mind. and became a part of our
lighter language. He was essentially a
humorist.
It was while in New Orleans. some ten
years ago. that he adopted the pen name
of 20. Henry" a nom de plume which
seemed somewhat to fit his work per-
fectly. In later years there were COM
parativeiy few people who knew what
his real name was.
In New Orleans he had sent stacks OF
manuscripts to unappreciative editors. and
when they were returned as they nearly
always were, he put new stamps On the
envelopes and sent them on their travels
again. But he decided one day that he
ought to select a literary alias. He said
TO a friend:
I'm going to send out some stuff and
I think I ought to have q new name
Help me pick out one His friend sug-
gested that he get a newspaper and run
over the first list OF notables he came
to In ne society column. They got a
paper and came across the account of
fashionable ball. His eye lit on the
name Henry"
Name Is Chosen.
That's good enough for me" he said.
Now for a first name. I want some
thing short; none of your three-syIlabIed

Texas while he was still in his teens
and spent two years and a half on a
cattle ranch owned by a friend of his
family. Lee Hall, who was a Well-knOwn
Texas ranger.
But he got tired Of the cattle business
and made up his mind that he wanted
either to write or draw. Writing seemed
easier 10 begin, and he got a job at SIS
week on the Houston Post. Within
two weeks his salary was jumped to $50
and in another two weeks 1t became S25.

and when the editor said one day: "Por-
ter within five years you'll be earning
500 week on New York newspaper"
he made up his mind that he was really
cut out TO be a writer.
He hadn't much special preparation. A
common school education and consider

teenth TO his nineteenth year was the
education with which he started. He was
