HERE s THE POLICE
PUZZLE; SOLVE It
what Do You Mean2' Asks the
Mayor When City Council
'StraddIes the Fence

Mayor Woodward to-day repeated
his question made to Council IN
veto message yesterday:
What do you mean to be the po-
lice policy Of the city,"
Council passed both the conflicting
resolutions over the veto of the Mayor
one. by Alderman John s. Gambler,
declaring Chief Beavers to be chief In
fact and the other. by Alderman
James r. Nutting, lauding the police
commission.
Both Aldermen Gambler and Nut
ting insisted in their arguments that
the resolutions did not conflict Here
are the salient parts of both resolu-
tons Translate EN- yourself:
Laws Must Be Guide"
The Gambler resolution:
That it is the sense of this body
that the Police Board, in the man
agement of the police of this city
shall be guided and controlled by the
city charter and the ordinances pass
ed by this body and as provided by
the laws of the city.
1T is unlawful for any member OF
said board to undertake TO control the
Chief of Police or any member of the
police force in the discharge of their
duties as policemen"
The Nutting resolution:
Praises Police Board.
The General Council hereby eX-
presses its full confidence in the 10y
atty 10 The public interests and in the
devotion to official duty, and we wish
to commend in the strongest terms
the members of the Police Board for
their unselfish service in the perform
ance of their difficult and eXacting
duties"
The adoption Of one resolution with.
out the other would have been Sig
nificant-was significant, in fact at
the time each was submitted Adopt
ing them together simply means that
Council has "straddled the fence" in
its attitude to the police situation.

PRAYER
WOULD FREE Yum
Or. John B. Robins Believes Petit
ton to President Wilson Proper
Step in Koreans Case.

Action by President Woodrow VIII
son Will be greater power than pray
err to force the japanese Government
10 release Baron T. II. Yum, graduate
Of Emory and Vanderbilt and the
Orients foremost Christian, from the
dungeons OF a Korean prison, in the
opinion Of Rev Dr. John r. Robins,
pastor Of the Trinity Church.
Dr. Robins was inclined to doubt
the efficacy Of the universal prayer
service for divine Intervention for the
deliverauce of Baron Yum, contem-
plated for two million members OF
the Southern Methodist Church in
America
"A more direct result would be OBJ
tanned by an appeal to President VIII
SON" DR. Robins said. "A universal
prayer service such as | understand
is contemplated would have no eff
feet on the ultimate disposal Of Dr.
Nun's case. other than to show the
sentiment of American Methodism. II
would be a good move, however, for
that purpose alone.
Dr. Dusose Thinks Differently.
- have received no request for
such prayer service. A request that
Atlanta Methodists join in the prayer
probably would come To the Presiding
Elder Or Lovejoy and we would
be governed by his wishes.
DR. H. NJ DuBose, pastor of the
First Methodist Church. was, now
yer. enthusiastically i'm favor of the
proposed universal prayer service. DR..
DuBose said
II believe in the efficacy Of prayer,
and certainly great good viii result
from the prayer services that ! un-
derstand are contemplated, ] tirm-
~ believe that the prayers Of two
millions Of Mcthodists will have an
effect on the disposal Of Baron Hun's
case"
Or DuBose said he has not vet re-
ceivcd the request for prayer that is
being sent ont from various places
in America. but declared the official
request will he received in Atlanta
soon. II is probable. Or. DuBose said,
that All the churches of Atlanta will
he asked 10 set aside "a certain day
and unite IN prayer for the deliver
ancc Of Baron Yum
Baron Yum Of Royaby.
Influence Of the church Is also
being brought to bear on the Wash
inEton Government Dr DuBose
said. This influence, eAefted AT the
time Of Or Yuns first conviction,
gained for him a second trial and we
have high hopes Of again succeed
ing
DR. DuBose, who has a personal ac-
uuaintance with Baron Yum, spoke
Interestingly of the former Emory
and Vanderbilt studeutE
Baron Yum is Prince Of the
royal blood" DIR. DuBose declared,
and is variously known as Baron
Yum. Prince Yum and Or. Yum. After
his graduation at Emory and Van
derbilt, he returned to Korea and was
made Minister of Education i'm the
Cabinet of the Korean Emperor, be-
fore the Russo-Japanese war He
has an unusually brilliant mind, and
his influence i'm Korea has been great
and always eXerted on the side of
right.
"Barons Yuns wife is a Chinese
woman, highly educated and refined.
and they have several children. l
met DR. Yum at the General Method

and several years later saw him in
Victoria, Canada. He has not been

OUR THIRTY-EIGHTH AN
NIVERSARY.

With this weeks issue Of the
EAGLE, we have rounded out
period OF thirty-eight years. As
old citizens realize, there have
been many changes not only
throughout this county and state
but throughout the entire nation.
Thousands of Mississippi's brav-
est and best men and women
have crossed the divide since we
have been in the newspaper busi-
ness. We are glad to cay that
many of our subscribers have
been with US many of these years.
When the old folks passed out
the younger ones still read the
EAGLE. In this way we have
built up an acquaintance and
friendship that will last so long
as we shall live.
The battle, you say, has been
a long and hard one. That is
true. But we are glad that time
has been as well with us as it
has. We believe that we have
good friends and we appreciate
them. II we have enemies we
are sorry for them. We hold
malice toward none; we wish
every one well. There has been,
and will still be times and occa-
sions when it behooves US to deal
frankly with questions of public
interest. In the future as in
these many years We have con-
tinued to do, We shall still pursue
the same course. The editors OF
the world in a very large meas
ure shape public sentiment and
disseminate information along all
lines, and they should have no
respect for any editor who does
not speak the truth and the whole
truth let it hit whom it NAV.
In starting out new year may
we ask our friends to keep close
in touch with US; write US n line
giving the news of your commu-
nifty. II you have an idea of
general or local interest write US
about it. Get your neighbor to
take the paper; many times one
issue will contain information
worth many times the subscrip-
ton price. If Lafayette county is
topr1sper, and it must, we should
keep in close touch with one
another; We can't progress unless
We do. Let's encourage the
schools, good roads, the churches
diversity of farming, better stock,
living at nome and the cash sys-
tenn of living: let US read every
thing that will keep US in touch
with each othei and put our ideas
into practice.
I Let US wish for all our readers,
our friends, our enemies and ev-
erybody much success and hap
piness. Let US all pull together
foi the upbuilding OF the entire
county and state.
