De placed on the campus Of the State
Normal and Industrial College at
Greensboro, which institution he
rounded and quilt into greatness. The
question has now been settled and
settled most wisely by q resolution
adopted by the State Teachers As
semhly OF North Carolina, and the
settlement is that there is to be a
statue OF McIver IN the Capitol Square
in Raleigh and on the campus of the
State Normal and Industrial College
az Greensboro. It was found that,
without great expense, a replica statue
could be obtained and the teachers
and the County superintendent have
determined, with the assistance of
other admirers of McIyer in the State
TO raise the necessary sum I. make
a replica and TO have a statue in both
places.
h IS the day OF the Teacher, and
the teachers place as a citizen is now
second to that Of no other profession
III North Carolina. Thanks for this
Is mainly due to Charles D.. McIver
n most beloved teacher Of a gcner-
atlon. and 70 Charles B. Aycock, the
educational Governor Of North Caro-
lima. We have IN the Capitol Square
statues Of soldiers and statesmen and
q beautiful shaft COMMUNICATING the
Valor n courags of the brave Con
federate soldiers, who, at the call of
their State in the sixties, gave their
lives TO the Southern Cause. Neither
in North Carolina nor in any OTHER
State have the people recognized fully
the debt they owe to the teachers.
We have not appreciated the truth
that peace hath her victories no less
renowned than wars and we have not
given that place TO those men in our
memorials that we have given to war
no honor should be withheld from
the men in the camp or on the forum,
the truth needs TO be taught and to
be emphasized that the teachers
place is far more important. How
better car We teach the high place OF
the teacher to North C~arolinians OF
all generations than to place the com
| manding figure Of McIver in bronze
IN the Capitol Square to be q perpet-
ual honor TO the useful profession OF
which he was the distinguished lead
er? The teachers should not be al.
lowed to raise the necessary funds II
thus honoring Charles NJ. McIver be-
cause he touched the State at ever
! point and other citizens will ask the
privilege OF making a contribution Il
the statue that will be worthy to stand
by that Of Vance n our Capitol
Square. It is to be hoped that the
committee will give an opportunity
to all who desire TO contribute toward
this honor to McIver and to give this
! deserved distinction to the profession
Of teaching.

that North Carolina is first IN the
manufacture Of both chewing and
smoking tobacco. The first six

Ohio. Kentucky, Virginia and New
Jersey. The production Of North
Carolina was S9,430,94s. The States
next in line had approximately forty

WESTERNS SCHEDULE.
Not Much Chance of Developing
Good Nine This Spring.

From present indications it looks as
though the Western High School base
ball team is due to finish at the bottom
Of the ladder in the scholastic league.
There has not been less material out of
which TO build a nine in a great many
years.
Candidates were called out for the pitch
Ing and catching positions and there were
practically no responses. There or four
men are at present working out indoors
but not one OF them has ever had experi-
ence in hurting the sphere. Scoiield IS
about the only one who Is working stead
lily and it IS probably on him that the
brunt of the work this spring will fall,
providing lie develops sufficiently well to
be used i'll the position at all. He has an
exceptionally good arm, though. and IL he
can be taught to control the ball he
should have little trobule in making good
on the mound.
There will not be q single old man to
try for his position on the inield this
spring. Dawson, George and Guy were
graduated last spring, while Howard has
left school OF the outfieIders only Me-
Ardle is left. With an entirely new team
to build up and very little material for
building the prospects for successful
season are anything but rosy.
Pate. who caught for the Petworth
team in the Suburban League last sum-
mer, Is the most promising OF the new
men. and he will probably be used be-
hind the bat. Myers going to first.
The schedule is the longest in years. 1t
Is as follows:
March 2o-Georgetown Props.
March 2J-Cathedral School
March 29-Strayer's Business College
April 3-United States Senate.
April 5-American Security and Trust
Company.
April 7-Cathedral School.
April 6-Army and Navy Props.
April 11-Rockville High School.

April 26-Maryiand Agricultural College.

that detecting crime for cities or states

ing the risk encountered and the ability

lean municipal ities that their detectives
are not better paid, and the poor results
obtained are frequently no more than
could be expected. About two months
ago a city Of half q million people in the
United States had occasion to appoint
new chief of detectives. The pay for the
position was just $50 a week. with little
prospect of ever being more, and with no
civil service protection. The appointee
was naturally counted upon to be an
able detective, master of the details OF
the work, which is a lifetime study,
and capable of matching his brains
against the shreWdest criminals in the
country. 1t was only after much per-
suasion that a young police lieutenant
was induced to give UP his protected po-
sition and assume that of chief of de-
tcctives.

tectives at headquarters in order that the
sleuths might have a look at him for fu-
one thought OF the fact that the crooks
We're also storing up in their minds the
countenances Of the sleuths. Two or three
years ago the New York detectives were
ordered to put on masks for the inspec-
tion OF suspects. This was an eminently
sensible thing to do, although it was much
ridiculed at the time. Since its value has
been appreciated It will probably be gen.
orally ADOPTED in the course of the next
decade.
Mayor Gaynor Of New York has sounded
new note in American detective work
He has laid down the dictum that detec-
lives should be appointed for their spe-
ciai fitness, irrespective OF service In the
uniformed police. He asserts that a man
might be an excellent patrolman or cap
tain, but be mentally unqualified for de-
tective work.
Much of the success for which detec-
tIves often receive credit is only Indirect
~ due to them. They receive their orig
inal tip from a stool pigeon''-that is.
crook who secretly became informer.
The ethics Of obtaining convictions on
such information has long been a bone
Of contention, but il will be a long time
before the system Is abolished. The late
Josiah Flynt. the brilliant writer on the
underworld, strongly inyeighed against it
on the ground that it was demoraiizing to

police to reciprocate by overlooking or
treating gently his own transgressions,
and generally receives his reward.

the middle west is notorious for this and
has an astonishingly large population of
professional thieves. An out-of-town de-
tective went there a year or ago to
look up several men he wanted. He was
taken in charge by one of the local
sleuths. who led him all oyer the place
on pretense of helping him find the
victims. Not one of them was seen. 1t
never occurred to the visitor until he
had left that he had practically been
put on exhibition, so that il lie came
again his presence and occupation would
be known at once and the wanted men
would take to cover.
The birth OF the present-day detective
systems may be said to date from the
time of Vidocq. the famous chief OF the
Paris secret police. about the beginning of
the nineteenth century. Nidocq was a
reformed thief and his basic theory was
10 set thief to catch a thief, method
stin widely followed by public and privat @
detective agencies. His staff was COM
posed largely of some of the most hard
ened and expert rogues in al France
He did not concern himself so much with
the political problems OF the day, but
made a speciality of bringing felons to
justice. The reformed Frenchman was

The trial at viterbo. Italy, OF luifts
two members of the Camorra, secret
society, has drawn attention TO the dan
gers of the detective business. 1t mas
also brought into relief the difference
between the ordinary work Of European
and American detectives. In this coun-
try crime is to a large extent sporadic
and individual. Few large bands or GRIM
inas are organized. except among the
foreign population \ disguised detective
has comparatively little opportunity for
ingratiating himself into the criminal
confidence. In Europe there arc numerous
secret societies devoted to crime and en-
forcing their threats with death. 1t was
among one of these that several members
Of the Italian police worked for months

the evidence that has resulted in the VI

3YORUM RETURNS
FROM ROCHESTER

H. E. Byorum, one of the North
Dakota delegates to the big Shriners
convention at Rochester, N. Y, re-
tdrned Friday. He went with the
KEN Temple delegation, which joined
The St. Paul Shriners, going to Ro-
chester by special train. A big ban
ner advertised the North Dakota
shrine, but when the train arrived
at Buffalo, it was necessary to take
the banner from the car. There is
state law against carrying banners on
trains. A few years ago loose ban
ner caught a little child nd pulled it
under train, causing it's death. The
North Dakota Shriners as souvenirs
gave away hundreds of little loaves Of
bread, neatly boxed, a great adver-
tisement for "the bread basket Of the
world" Rochester was not prepared
to care for so many visitors and many
Shriners were unable to find beds.
