POLICE, AT HOME AND ABROAD.

POLICE, AT HOME AND ABROAD. The serious light in which the New York police force has been lplaced by the disclOusres in the IRosenthal murder case naturally calls up comparison between American peace officers and those ,nf foreign countries. William AL
 len Pinkcrton. head of the de- lcctivc agency that bears his inamc, in recent interview pub liShcd in London, defended the New York department, saying that ,Nhilc there were occasional cases of graft, the efficiency and the
 honesty of Commissioner Wal
 dos rank and file were as high 'as any police force in the world.
 He attributed many police sh' rtcOmings in America iO hostile attitude on the part of the
 public. Tn London. he said, the public looks upon the policeman's position in life with more respect,
 with the result that tho officers
 arc morr on their dignity anG
 honor and there is more incc.l-
 five for them tn live up to high
 code. American officers work
 faster. in his opinion. but less carefully and less earnestly than
 thnsc of England.
 The recent Trial of the Camnr- risls was filled with charges of; graft and .iobbcry against inc Hal jan police. Tn" rise of Ihis sn- ricIy. the "Black IIand." the 'Mafia," and other of the various criminal organizations, D. attributed quite generally to an utter lack of confidence in the of fccrs of the law, the result be- ing that people took grievances intO their own hands.
 Tn Russia. according to I.eonid Menstchikoff, former chief of the St. Petersburg Imperial police, now in New York, graft in gener- al and nothing is thought of it. Not only do gambling and disOr- derly resorts pay tribute, but legi- iimate business enterprises make to insure watchfulneSs about their property. The graft, however, is for the officer on duty at that station, and is not divided with "higher-up." In speaking of this general eXtOrtion the former Russian official, in a New York interview, said:
 'In the main, the graft fields in Russia are so wide and the vari- cites of graft so many that the graft received from gambling, inc social evil. and excise violation is such small proportion of the total that, although the police men are corrupt and graft taking is general, the body of the police are not degraded. Some of the hribcs are a matter of custom. Regulations for building. street sanitary arrangements
 nd SO forth arc so far in advance
 f Russian daily life that hribeS are pad as a matter or r0nN6n- ipncc fO cvade regulations which arc hardship. Tho policemen who take these bribcs accept them as license fees.
 "SOme of inc bribcs taken in Russia are from religious sccts prohibited by law. These bribcS oro largo bccauSp Daid by idpal ists. largely of inc professional class. who have large incomes. and io whom money is no ob- jcrf. Police officials who fake bribrS for allowing these ScCts tO hold services unmolcsicd feel thaI they arc getting 'holy gold. and that they are really doing creditable by winking oI 1oy

George Becomes Insurgent.

BILLINGS, Sept. Is. Before an
audience which filed Babcock the later,
Senator W. B. George in two hours
talk last night told why he had de-
termined not to vote for Sam v.
Stewart and w. W. Mcdowell, demo-
cratic nominee for governor and lieu
ten nt governor. The reason he gave
was that ''the democratic nominees
are both tools OF the Amalgamated
Copper company" He said tina while
many persons claimed be was prompt
ed by personal reasons, that he was
sore because he was not nominated at
the Great Falls convention, this is not
true: that he had no acrimony in his
heart because of his defeat, but that
it was only because the men who we're
named, II elected, twill not represent
the people,"
He declared that Stewart has long
been az Amalgamated nam and that
he was it's candidate for attorney gen.
eral. also that two years ago he came
forward as It's candidate and endeav.
ored to defeat Charles Hartman for
the nominate of congressman
Az to Mcdowell, he said he had
shown in the last session of the legis-
~lature, by appointment OF his commit
tees, that he was working for the in
terests of this corporation.

New YORK. Sep. 25 The Evening
World publishes today an authentic
interview with President Taft In which
the president goes at length into coma
OF the Issues OF the campaign. The
president pr omises q revision of the
tariff on q scientific basis, so far as
may be necessary TO keep prices from
being exorbitant. This may be done

Investigation into the facts, the presi.
dent is quoted as saying.
Mr.. Taft then limited at an extra ees-
zion In cas- the republicans should be
In control OF the next session of con-
Rress.
Referring to the high cost OF living,
the president expressed the opinion
that American workmen we're very
much better of than those OF Europe.
Not only were they able to pay the
high cost of living. he said, but they
could also put something aside for .
rainy day. The Payne tariff law had
no more to do with advancing the high
cost OF living than the latest Atlantic
cable tariff. he declared.
Referring to women suffrage, the
president said that this Issue would
have to be decided by the various
states and that he bt lieved women to
be as capable of wise use Of the ballot
0s men,.
In the matter OF the recall of judges
the president said he regarded the
maintenance Of an independent judi
ciary as q supreme issue and that the
recall applied to judges of ability
and high sense of duty.

Progressives Hold Rally.

A progressive party rally, Of which
short notice had been given, vas held
at the opera house Wednesday even-
ing, with q fair.sized crowd in attend
nee. The speakers we're Hon. Frank
J. Edwards, the progressive candid ate
for governor, and Thos. M. Everett,
one of the progressive nominees for
congress.
Attorney F. E. Stranahan acted as
chairman, and introduced Mr.. Ed.
wards as the fret speaker, paying
warn tribute to his record as mayor
of Helena. Mr.. Edwards speech re-
lated largely to the interference of
"big business" 10 politics, the reason
assigned for its political activity be-
ing q selfish desire to benefit at the
public expense. The speaker present.
ed several illustr atoms of the manner
Ia which mining and railroad corpora
tions, by controlling legislative assem-.
blies and public officials, received
special favors from those sources.
Mr.. Edwards took up the matter of
railroad rates by stating that ore
shipments from Butte to Great Falls,
a distance of IT'S miles, were carried
at q rate of Is cents per ton; and yield
q profit to the railroad at that figure.
A similar q applied to shipments
of wheat and other products would
call for a reduction of at least Is per
cent in present freight charges. The
speaker also asserted that whereas
railroad property In Montana is capi-
talized At $50, 600 per mile, and it's
earnings are expected to pay q profit
on that capitaliz alton, it 10 valued for
purposes of tax alton at only Sl9, 600
per mile. Mr.. Edwards announced
that, in the event of his election, he
will use his best endeavor to secure q
"square deal' for the people.
Hon. T. M. Everett, who was the
next speaker, began his remarks with
explanation of his reasons for joining
the progressive party. During his
service in the state legislature as
representative and state senator from
Chouteau county, Mr.. Everett said he
had been forced to the conclusion that
both of the old parties were under the
control of corporation influences. At
every session, according to the speak
err, legislation was controlled by the
same invisible power, no matter which
party had a majority in the assembly
and campaign contributions were
made to each party by the same In
terests.
Mr.. Everett undertook to explain
that the cost of maintaining a politi.
cisl department by mining corpora.
tions was more than Offset by the
special privileges they enjoy under
the Montana laws. With property
represented by stock that has q mar
ket value OF about $3.50. 000, 900, the
Am algamated interests pay taxes up.
on q valuation of only S15,0 600 900
the difference between these amounts
escaping taxation. The saving of
taxes under these conditions more
than Offsets the expenses of hiring
Lobbyists and conducting q POLITICAL
department. The speaker also refer
red to the milling trust and other COM
bin ations that oppress the public, ss
proper subjects for regulation by
legislative enactment.
Each of the speakers was given close
attention, and was greeted with liber-
ersl applause.
