Visiting the night police court one
evening this week Mayor GATNoR found
there a prisoner who had been arrested
by a policeman in plain clothes. The
Mayor was interested. He had person.
ally ordered the plain clothes men into
uniform. and his order had not been
revoked Said the Mayor.
what does all this mean anyhow Why !
thought that had taken these plain clothes men
OF the streets"
For a man whose knowledge 81 the
police force has been acquired in ak
months Of experience with that inter
esting body the Mayor appears 10 have
been only mildly astonished. II ~ evil
dent that he has already learned enough
to arm him against surprise at any
thing that the most perfect organlza-
ton on earth for thwarting the plans of
its nominal directors may do. An in
experienced, gullible or tr,lstful Mayor
would have seen in the continued activi-
ties Of policemen in plain clothes after
he had specifically and formally for
hidden them cause for an immediate
outbreak Of temper. Mayor GAYNoR
knows too much for that.
In all the enterprises Mayor GAYSoR
has on hand none il more interesting
and instructive than his contest for the
control Of the police force 81 the city.

FOREST FIRES.

Forest fires are getting IN their
work of destruction again and are
taking their awful toll of human life
and property in the States OF Idaho
and Montana. The loss of life from
these fires is, for the most part,
small, but coupled with the reckless
destruction and waste of the forests
by man, they become a problem.
Thousands of acres of timber des-
tined in the beginning to supply
material for all kinds of building,
labor for thousands of workmen and
fortunes to others become worse
than useless. Happily the National
Government and State Governments
are now taking some active steps to
prevent this great waste and as
result the loss from this source IS on
the decrease. Government statistics
show that the largest number OF
forest fires and probably the largest
loss occurred in 1908 and 1909 inIdaho
and Montana, where the present
fires are raging. Both States make
annual appropriations for preventing
and extinguishing forest fires and
yet at this time one hundred square
miles have been burned over, vii
lagos have been destroyed and an
unknown number of lost lives.
The American ash-pile is very
serious proposition.
