A FLYLEss CITY

The United States consul at Prague
says it would be useless for manufac-
turers of fly-paper to send any of
their wares to Prague because that is
flyless city. There is no market in
Prague even for screens. The fly is
apparently as scarce in Prague as rat
tlesnakes are in Linn county.
The consul at Prague says cleanli-
ness has driven the fly out of Prague.
That is town of concrete and stone.
There is little wood to decay. The
streets are kept scrupulously clean.
Prague is one OF the most cleanly cit
les in the old world There are NO
open drains; no filth is tolerated any.
where; and consequently there are nc
breeding places for flies.
American cities pride themselves
on the progressive ideas and we are
inclined to look upon the average Eu
ropean city as old fogyish. But there
are many European cities which are
so far ahead of anything in America
that the comparison is extremely obi
Gus. It is apparent that many Ameri
can cities could with profit take a
few lessons from such old modern
cities as Prague.

POLICE DISCIPLINE

In Keokuk drunken policeman,
who went about fiourishing his revolv-
Ter terrorizing citizens and making un-
warranted arrests, was permitted to
resign" In similar case in Bur-
Iington the officer was suspended, the
case investigated and then he was dis
charged. Such derelictions in Office
are treated too leniently, says the Bur
lington Hawk-Eye. The Keokuk po-
ed from the force with all the odium
of dismissal for cause. He had TAX
en- solemn oath to perform certain
duties He violated that oath and
disgraced himself and the city. In a
minor sense he was a traitor to the
severer punishment He wanted the
JOB and got it. He was paid to pre-
serve the peace and protect life and
property. Instead of doing so, he not
only neglected his duties but imper-
lied life and limb. He had solemnly
against burglary and other crimes; to
be watchful as regards fires and every
thing that concerns the public inter
/ ests. Instead of performing these
duties he first incapaciated himself
1 by booze and then put in jeopardy the
lives and property OF the community
that trusted him. He virtually invit
ed the burglars to their nefarious EN-
Iployment, and the sluggers to do Their
worst. Vice had no restraint from
him: on the contrary, he encouraged
it.
4 Furthermore, his example az an of
ficer was bad. Its tendency was de
moralizing. 1t was the reverse o.
what the citizens paid for. To lie
