Survey. The novelty of the remark
caused me to ponder over IT,
I'm every walk OF life the man who
does his duty conscfentiously makes
enemies. A man who makes no enc
mics in life Ia a moral coward, who
has no purpose In life and accom-
pltshes no results. Only women who
are 80 75-l00 per cent whole-hearted
goodness can go through life making
only friends and no enemies, The po-
liceman's life Is one In which a man
doubtless makes more enemies than in
any other walk of life. No man likes
the hand that Jails him and deprives
him Of his liberty. Further CONVEX
satton with this lieutenant Of police,
however, convinced me that he was
proud of the enmities which he made
among the criminal classes. He was
not referring to that class OF enemies
What he dreaded and what discour-
aged him at times was the fact that
by doing his duty he incurred the
enmity OF his superiors.
He told me that even this class OF
enemies would not cause him any an

attitude of his superiors with refer

bane of the policeman's life. II he
could only be certain that the police
commissioner OF today will be the

Roval Arch Masons.

The report of the grand chapter

which has just been issued from the

interesting one indeed. Besides COW

Guiding the unwilling of the Frank ].
Thompson monument in Fargo.
A synopsis of the returns from the
chapters for the year is very interest
ing. The keystone chapter OF Fargo
leads all the other chapters In almost
every particular with the exception OF
the deceased list. Many of the other
chapters have at least two members
reported to have died during the year
while the keystone chapter reports
none. The Fargo order also leads the
other chapters In the point Of mem
bership, there being sbs belonging to
the local chapter.

POLICE ADMINISTRATION

police department is never police
expert. He is selected from civil life
for business. social or political rea-
sons. He seldom has any peculiar fit
ness for the position, excepting in the
mind Of the man who appoints him and
he never has any expert knowIedge
OF police administration. The excel
lent German system of promoting an
experienced police officer Of smaller
city to the police commissionership OF
larger city. has never been tried in
this country. If the police commits
sioner were given a long term and Al
definite tenure this would at least
remedy the present day condition that
the police commissioner has no knowl-
edge Of police administration when he
assumes the duties of his office and
that he Is turned out Of office as soon
as he has learned the details OF the
business. With long term and de-
finite tenure the city would at least
enjoy the services Of an experienced
police commissioner during the latter
half of his term.
Every American municipality ought
to improve its system of police adj
ministration so that the remark OF
the lieutenant whom we have quoted
may be changed to read Whenever
I do my duty / make enemies among
the citizens and friends among my
superior officers, and by negleoting my
duty I may make friends among the
citizens but / shan incur the enmity
Of my superior officers II efficient
police protection is desired, every
municipality must not only strive for
this result but 1T must also see to IL
that the police officers official friends
and official enemies have as much
power and as much influence over his
actions as HIS friends and his enemies
in private life WELD today.

following solid facts:
First-The office workers belong
to the working class.
Second-They are the most ex-
plotted of all workers.
Third Personal qualifications

sixth Chances OF advancement

Seventh-The only alternative is

The office workers are discon-
tented lot today. They do not realize
the reason for it all. What they do
know Is that matters are getting
worse and they are mad from their
heads to their feet. Discontentment
is an excellent school for advanced
knowledge 1t develops a marvellous
appetite for learning. The oppor-
tunity is here for the propaganda OF
working class ideals among office
workers.
