That's the Knapp ideai He doesn't d.
vide humanity into good and bad
classes, nor does he believe that justice
is best served by malignant and relent-
less pursuit of every offender against
some law. Instead of considering him,
self as a milestone for the grinding of
human grist, he acts as man dealing
with men While convinced that society
needs protection against wrongdoers, he
rejects the usual theory that society
must be reyenged on wrongdoers.
Golden Rule Jones took clubs away
from the policeman, and gave them
canes. When Perry Knapp was pro-
NOTED to be chief, he banished the canes,
so that the Toledo blueeoats really ex,
press the majesty Of the law, not
mere threat of violence.
"Of course, there are those who be-
lieve that vice and crime must be dealt
with by force, and thot the slightest
gentleness will encourage wrongdoing.
AS an answer to these, the percentage
of crime is less in Toledo than any other
city of its size in the country And

The condition of Kerr is regarded as

say to every suffering woman if that
medicine does not help her, there is
nothing that Mrs. JANETzKI,

This is the age Of substitution, and
women who want cure should insist
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound just as this woman did, and
not accept something else on which the
druggist can make little more profit.
Women who are passing through this

In Rhoda's ears was running re.

freight whizzed past, and then she knew
why the report OF her shot had not

crouched in her chair, hiding her eyes

firing which followed
